of the remote control and insert 2 alkaline batteries, type AA (R06, UM-3). Remove batteries if they are dead or if the remote control will not be used for a long time. Batteries contain chemical substances, so they should be disposed of properly. The buttons on the remote control work the same way as the corresponding ones on the receiver. Important! You have to press a source button for longer than 2 seconds to switch the sound source on the receiver. Pressing a source button for less than 2 seconds will only switch the remote control to use the commands for the selected product. The remote control remains tuned to the selected source until another source button on the remote control is pressed. This enables you to operate additional sources (i. e. winding a tape) without changing the source on the receiver.

inscription Multibrand/Universal. 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 be used only if you cannot find the code for one of your appliances. The codes are listed at the end of this book. Important! Use the remote control buttons 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. 2 Key in the 4-digit code for the appliance (codetable at the end of the booklet). 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. – 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. Once you have found and tested the codes for your various appliances, you may want to write them down here. PHONO..........................................

Audio connections There are analog 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.

Video connections If the receiver and your Philips TV (or even better in addition a Philips VCR or DVD player) are connected with the CINEMA LINK system bus control, some extra system benefits are offered: – Upon starting a source the system will automatically switch to that input. – You may control the system via the TV screen. Depending on the language of the TV, this can be done in your preferred language. – The TV can function as the center speaker of your system, making a separate center speaker unnecessary. – By pressing the standby button, you can switch the complete Home Theater System to standby.

1 Check whether the power voltage as shown on the type plate corresponds to your local power voltage. If it does not, consult your dealer or service organization. 2 Connect the power cord to the power outlet. To disconnect the unit from the power completely, remove the power plug from the power outlet. Some of the speaker connections on the receiver are screw connectors and some are click-fit connectors. Use them as shown below. 1 Always connect the colored (or marked) wire to the colored terminal and the black (or unmarked) wire to the black terminal. 2 Connect: – Left front speaker to L (red and black) – Right front speaker to R (red and black) – Center speaker to CENTER (blue and black) – Left surround speaker to SURROUND L (grey and black) – Right surround speaker to SURROUND R (grey and black) You may use your Philips TV with CINEMA LINK as the center speaker. For TVs with a scart connector an additional audio cinch-to-scart cable is needed. For TV’s with cinch connectors, additional cinch cables are needed. These cables must be connected to the blue CENTER PRE-OUT connector on the back. Look into the instruction manual of your TV on how to use it as the center speaker. AM (MW) antenna The loop antenna supplied is for indoor use only. Position the antenna as far away as possible from the receiver, a TV, the cables, a DVD player, a VCR and other radiation sources. 1 Fit the plug of the frame antenna to AM LOOP as shown below. 2 Turn the antenna for optimum reception. FM antenna The wire antenna supplied can be used only to receive nearby stations. For better reception we recommend using a cable antenna system or an outdoor antenna. 1 Open the FM 300 Ωclick-fits by pushing the lever down as shown below. 2 Insert each wire of the antenna into one hole. 3 Close the click-fits using the lever. 4 Move the antenna in different positions for optimum reception. The unit complies with the FCC-Rules, Part 15. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: 1. This device may not cause harmful interference, and 2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. 8 mm 1 2 3 AM LOOP ANTENNA Antenna connections TV as the center speaker 8 mm 1 2 3 1 2 3 7 mm Speaker connections Power

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. Each room has different acoustic characteristics and the positioning possibilities often are limited. You can find the best position for your speakers by referring to the picture above. 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. Positioning the front speakers The front speakers should be placed to the 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). Positioning the surround speakers The surround speakers should face each other and be in line with, or slightly behind the listener. 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. The relative volume of the speakers must be adjusted for optimal surround sound. You should be at your usual listening position when adjusting the speaker volume. See “Receiver menus” on how to unit up the receiver for the used speakers. 1 Press POWER / STANDBY to switch on the receiver. 2 Press TEST TONE on the remote control. y A test tone coming from the different speakers, except the subwoofer, is heard. 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. 4 Press TEST TONE on the remote control. y The test tone stops. Note: If you are not completely satisfied with the volume settings, we recommend making minor adjustments to them during surround sound playback. If the receiver is used at very high power it can produce distortions which may damage your speakers seriously. If distortions occur, reduce the volume and the tone controls to a level where the sound is acceptable again. To avoid overheating of the unit a safety circuit has been built in. Therefore your set may disconnect under extreme conditions. If this happens, switch the unit off and let it cool down before reusing it. Connecting headphones to PHONES will switch off the speakers. The receiver switches to STEREO and surround sound will be reduced to a stereo signal which is reproducible by standard headphones. Disconnecting the headphones switches on the speakers again. If you wish to enjoy surround sound again, switch the receiver back to surround sound.

If you wish to record from a source you must select it with SOURCE SELECTOR. The incoming signal is reproduced by all audio and – if the source includes a video signal – video outputs of the receiver. The sound settings do not affect the recording. 1 Turn SOURCE SELECTOR (or press FRONT AV – MX 975D only) to select the source you want to record from. yThe name of the source is displayed. 2 Prepare the desired recording appliance. It must be connected to one of the outputs of the receiver. 3 Start recording on the recording appliance. 4 Start the playback of the source as usual. Note: – The audio and video signal of VCR IN is not reproduced by VCR OUT. The same applies to the audio signal of CDR/TAPE IN to CDR/TAPE OUT. – We recommend not to use the digital output COAX OUT of the receiver to record from an analog source. Use the analog output CDR/TAPE instead. It is possible to connect a digital recorder to the digital output of the receiver. In this way, all signals coming from the digital inputs can be recorded directly on the connected audio recorder. The receiver will also convert all signals coming from the analogue inputs to the digital output. The receiver can be used to record digitally a multichannel surround sound audio signal (Dolby Digital) from, for example, DVD to CD-R. The receiver will convert the digital multichannel signal into a stereo signal without loss of relevant sound information. Notes: – Do not use the 3D SURROUND feature while making digital recordings as this will distort the digital audio signal. – When recording a Dolby Digital signal, each track must be recorded individually.

sensation. You will have the feeling of being in the middle of the action, because sound is coming from everywhere around you. Look out for TV broadcasts, audio and video tapes and discs with the 3 or 1 or marks which are encoded for multichannel surround sound. You should prefer Dolby Digital to get the most out of your receiver. Notice that DVDs do not always carry full multichannel surround. To be sure that a disc is multichannel encoded consult your dealer. 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. The availabilty of the various surround sound modes described depends on the number of speakers used and the incoming sound information. With surround sound on, you can switch through the different surround modes. Note that the possibilities are related to speaker setup defined in the receivers menu. If a digital surround signal is detected, the receiver will scroll DOLBY DIGITAL. 1 Press SURROUND ON/OFF to switch on the surround sound. yThe surround mode in use is scrolled. 2 Press SURR.

HALL The sound reproduction is enhanced and a slight echo is added. This gives the impression of being in a large room. Can only be used in stereo mode. SURROUND The surround mode enables normal surround sound reproduction with 4 or 5 speakers. Depending on the source material, Dolby Surround Pro Logic or Dolby Digital is reproduced. PRO LOGIC, DOLBY DIGITAL 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) will be displayed, followed by the sound channels, available on the source (e. g. DVD). Example: AC-3 3/2.1 Dolby Digital, 3 front channels, 2 surround channels and a subwoofer channel. AC-3 3/1.0 Dolby Digital, 3 front channels, 1 (mono) surround channel without subwoofer signal. FRONT-3 STEREO The surround sound is muted. 3 Stereo lets you listen to surround sound without using the surround speakers. 3D SURROUND The sound of the rear channel is simulated by the front speakers. Surround sound is simulated through the front left, right and center speakers. The position of the listener influences the surround effect. The area where the effect is best is shown in gray. STEREO All sound is reproduced and played through the front left and right speakers. This enables standard stereo reproduction. NIGHT MODE (only on the remote control) The loud parts of the sound are lowered and the soft passages are raised. You can enjoy surround sound without disturbing sleeping children or neighbors.
