REMOTE CONTROL
Once you have found and tested the codes for your various
appliances, you may want to write them down here.

SAT................................................
DVD...............................................
The universal remote control must be programmed to use the
codes for your appliances of different brands. This is done by
keying in a 4-digit code or by scanning the codes until the
correct one is found. We recommend to using the 4-digit
code. This method is faster and more reliable. The code
scanning method should only be used if you cannot find the
code for one of your appliances. The code table can be found
at the end of the booklet.
Important!
The buttons of the remote control must be used for
programming, not the buttons of the receiver or other
appliances.
Programming with the 4-digit code
1 Keep the source button for the appliance which should be
controlled and2 pressed for 3 seconds.
Resetting the remote control
1 Keep one of the source buttons and 2 pressed for 3
seconds.
2 Key in the 4-digit code for the appliance (codetable at the
end of the booklet).
2 Key in the 3-digit code 981.
yThe remote control is now reset to all its original Philips
Notes: – If more than 4 digits are entered, the remote
control will recognize only the ones keyed in first.
– If you do not key in a code within 30 seconds the
remote control will switch off the programming
function without changing the code.
codes.
– To program a new appliance, simply overwrite the
old code by entering a new one.
Scanning the codetable
1 Switch on the appliance which should be controlled.
2 Keep the source button for the appliance which should be
controlled and2 pressed for 3 seconds.
3 Press and release 2 again.
yThe remote control sends the codes for channel up or
standby (depending on the selected source) for one
brand after the other.
4 As soon as the appliance reacts – switches to the next
channel or to standby – press 2 to confirm the code.
yThe identified code will be used.
• If the set does not react within 2 minutes, the code for this
appliance is not stored in the remote control. The code of
the remote control will remain unchanged.
Note: When taking out the batteries of the remote control for
more than 1 minute the codes must be reprogrammed.

Audio connections
There are analogue and digital connectors available on some
appliances. If possible use the digital connection; usually this
will result in better sound quality. See “Reassigning a source
selection” on how to use the digital connectors of the
receiver.
Because of a different kind of output signal, the use of Dolby
Digital Laserdisc requires an optional AC-3 RF demodulator.

Positioning of the speakers
General hints for positioning
3 Press +/- REAR on the remote control to
increase/decrease the volume of the actual speaker. The
best result is achieved when all speakers have equal
volume in the listening position.
Avoid positioning the speakers in a corner or on the floor as
this will boost the bass tones too much. Placing the speakers
behind curtains, furniture, etc. will reduce the treble
response. The listener should always be able to ”see” the
speakers.
4 Press TEST TONE on the remote control.
y The test tone stops.
Each room has different acoustic characteristics and the
positioning possibilities are often limited. You can find the
best position for your speakers by referring to the picture
above.
Note: If you are not completely satisfied with the volume
settings, we recommend making minor adjustments to
them during surround sound playback.
As a minimum we recommend 5 speakers (2 front, a center,
2 surround) for good surround sound. It is possible to
reproduce some kind of surround sound with fewer speakers.
This is done by redirecting the signals which are foreseen for
the missing speakers to the existing ones. See “Menus” on
how to set up the receiver correctly for the number and size
of the speakers used.
Power handling
If the receiver is used at very high power it can produce
distortions which may seriously damage your speakers. If
distortions occur, reduce the volume and the tone controls to
a level where the sound is acceptable again.
To avoid overheating of the set a safety circuit has
been built in. Therefore your set may disconnect under
extreme conditions. If this happens, switch the set off
and let it cool down before reusing it.
Positioning the front speakers
The front speakers should be placed right and left in front of
the listening position like usual stereo speakers.
Positioning the center speaker
The center speaker should be placed in the center between
the two front speakers, e. g. underneath or on top of the TV.
The best height for the center speaker is the height of the
listener’s ears (while seated).
Headphones
Connecting headphones to PHONES will switch off the
speakers. The receiver switches to STEREOand surround
sound will be reduced to a stereo signal which is reproducible
by standard headphones.
Positioning the surround speakers
The surround speakers should face each other and be in line
with, or slightly behind the listener.
Disconnecting the headphones switches on the speakers
again. If you wish to enjoy surround sound again, switch the
receiver back to surround sound.
Positioning the subwoofer
A subwoofer can be used to enhance the bass performance of
your system dramatically. The subwoofer can be positioned
anywhere in the room, because it is not possible to locate the
source of deep tones. Nevertheless, you should not place the
subwoofer in the middle of a room, since the bass could be
severely weakened. Do not place any object on the
subwoofer.

marks which are encoded for multichannel surround sound.
You should prefer Dolby Digital or MPEG Multichannel to get
the best out of your receiver.
SURROUND
The surround mode enables normal surround sound reproduction
with 4 or 5 speakers. Depending on the source material, Dolby
Surround Pro Logic, Dolby Digital or MPEG is reproduced.
Notice that DVDs do not always carry full multichannel
surround. To be sure that a disc is multichannel encoded
consult your dealer.
PRO LOGIC, DOLBY DIGITAL, MPEG
In addition to SURROUND, the surround mode used –
depending on the source material – will be displayed. In case
of digital surround, the sound format AC-3 (for Dolby Digital) or
MPEG (for MPEG 2 Multichannel) will be displayed, followed by
the sound channels, available on the source (e. g. DVD).
Most ordinary stereo tapes and discs can be replayed using
surround sound settings with good results. If the reproduction
is distorted in surround mode, switch to normal stereo mode.
Example: AC-3 3/2.1 Dolby Digital, 3 front channels,
2 surround channels and a subwoofer
channel.
The availabilty of the various surround sound modes
described depends on the number of speakers used and the
incoming sound information.
