Select the appropriate audio source to hear audio from each device.
When you set up your Philips speakers and wire your TV and audio/video sources to the main unit, you might experience some obstacles with proper sound distribution and functionality. Following a few steps and performing the necessary maintenance yourself will have your sound system set up perfectly before your family and friends arrive to watch the big game.
Instructions
Nonfunctional Buttons
1. Turn the main unit around so that the back is easily accessible to begin correcting a system that isn't working.
2. Examine the power cord from the main unit going to the wall outlet for damage. If the power cord is cut or dented, replace it.
3. Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet and wait for a few seconds to reset the connection. While you're waiting, plug in an alternate electrical device to test the wall outlet for proper functionality. Plug the power cord into the wall.
No Sound
4. Unplug all of your speaker connections from the main unit to reset the connection, if one or all of your speakers fail to emit sound. Each speaker wire is tipped with a color-coding.
5. Plug each speaker wire firmly into its correct color-coded receptor within the "Speaker" section (located on the back of the main unit). The red "Front Right" speaker wire plugs into the red "Front Right" jack; the white "Front Left" speaker wire plugs into the white "Front Left" jack; the green "Front Center" speaker wire plugs into the green "Front Center" jack; the gray "Rear Right" speaker wire plugs into the gray "Rear Right" jack; the blue "Rear Left" speaker wire plugs into the blue "Rear Left" jack; and the purple "Subwoofer" speaker wire plugs into the purple "Subwoofer" jack.
6. Push the "Source" button (located on the front of the main unit) to highlight the proper system that you're engaging. If you're unable to receive audio from your DVD player, push the "Source" button until "Aux 2" is displayed on the screen.
DVD Sound
7. Pull the audio/video component cables out from the main unit jacks and the DVD player jacks.
8. Plug the yellow-tipped video cable into the "Video Out" jack on the back of the main unit. Plug the opposite end of the cable into the "Video In" jack on the DVD player.
9. Plug the white- and red-tipped audio cables into the white and red "Aux 2 Audio In" jacks, respectively. Plug the opposite white- and red-tipped audio cables into the DVD player's white and red "Audio Out" jacks, respectively. Confirm that the colors on the three cables and the jacks are matched.
