Delay Times - Dvd Only; Connecting The Power Supply - Philips SACD Player Manual

Delay times - DVD only

Your SACD player is set to reproduce correctly
synchronized Digital Surround Sound in a listening area
where the surround speakers are about 150cm nearer
to the listening position than the front speakers, and the
center speaker is in line with the front speakers. To
adjust for other listening area arrangements, adapt delay
times according to the following:
Digital Surround
Measure the distances in centimeters from the front
speaker plane and from the surround speaker plane to
the listening positioning plane.
Substract the surround distance from the front distance
and divide by 30. The result is the required Surround
Channel delay time in milliseconds.
If the center speaker is on the front speaker plane, no
center speaker delay is needed. You can adjust the delay
time in the "User Preference Settings". See Personal
preference - Sound - Speaker Settings. If, however, it is
nearer to the listening position, measure the distance in
centimeters between the front and center speaker
planes, and divide by 30. The result is the required
Center Channel delay time in milliseconds.

Connecting the power supply

1 Check if the mains voltage as shown on the type
plate (on the back of the player) corresponds to
your local mains voltage. If not, adjust the voltage
selector (1) to match with your local mains supply.
2 Plug the female end of the power cable supplied into
the Power connector MAINS (2) on the rear of the
player.
3 Plug the male end of the cord into an AC outlet.
Note: When the player is in the STANDBY or OFF position, it
is still consuming some power. If you wish to disconnect your
player completely from the mains, withdraw the plug from
the AC Outlet.
Caution: Only qualified service personnel should
remove the cover or attempt to service this
