Basic Connections
Step 1:  Placing the speakers
The Philips Home Theater System is 
simple to install. However, proper system 
placement is critical to ensure an 
optimum sound experience.
Before you start ...
If you wish to mount the Ambisound 
speakers on the wall, see section 
‘Optional Connections - Mounting the 
speakers on the wall’
A
 Place the Ambisound speakers at the 
normal listening ear level, equal distance 
from the TV and face straight ahead 
towards the listening area.  
B
 Place the subwoofer at the corner of the 
room. Keep at least one meter away 
from the TV. 
Helpful Hints:
–  The placement diagram shown here is only 
a guideline that will provide great system 
performance. You may fi nd other placement 
choices that are more suitable for your room 
layout and provide the sound experience you 
enjoy.
–  To avoid magnetic interference, do not 
position the front speakers too close to your 
TV.
–  Do not place the Ambisound speakers at 
an angle as it would reduce the system 
performance.

‘Getting Started - Step 6: Setting the 
Ambisound speakers.’
 
TIPS:  Before making or changing any connections, make sure that all the devices are disconnected 
from the power outlet.
