OPTIONAL TV Audio Connection
In order to listen to normal TV broadcast channels
through the Home Cinema Surround Receiver (if your
TV has AUDIO OUT jacks) you must make an audio
connection.
IMPORTANT! The Receiver will use all surround
sound speakers only if the TV broadcast is in a surround
sound format (Dolby Digital, DTS, Dolby Pro Logic). If
the broadcast is in stereo only, some of the surround
speakers will not be active.
• Connect the red and white pair of audio cables from
the TV AUDIO IN (Left & Right) jacks on the
Receiver to the AUDIO OUT (Left & Right) jacks on
the TV.
NOTE: When listening to TV programs, the Receiver
must be set to the AUX mode for the sound to be heard.
Use this simple and quick way to watch your favorite
DVD movie and enjoy your Home Cinema experience!

Your TV capability determines which
type of video connection you can make
with the DVD Receiver.
75 Ω
If your TV only has a single Antenna In
jack, you will need an accessory RF
ANTENNA IN Modulator to view DVD playback on your
TV. The RF Modulator converts the video from
the Receiver so it can play through the TV's
Antenna connector.
See your electronics retailer or contact Philips for Y
details on RF Modulator availability.
If you use an RF modulator, set the TV to channel
3 or 4. Set the RF modulator's 3/4 switch to the
same channel.
