Philips MX5500D/37 Home Theater User Manual

You only need to make one video connection from the following options, depending on the capabilities of your TV system. S-Video or Component Video connection provides higher picture
quality. These options must be available on your TV. Connect the DVD system directly to
the TV. If your TV only has a single Antenna In jack (or labeled as 75 ohm or RF In,) you will need an RF modulator in order to view the DVD playback on the TV. See your electronics retailer or contact Philips for details on RF modulator availability and operations.

Recording (digital)

Connect the DVD system’s DIGITAL OUT jack to the DIGITAL IN jack on a digital recording device (DTS-Digital Theater System compatible, with a Dolby Digital decoder, for example.) Before starting operation, set the DIGITAL OUTPUT according to the audio connection. (See page 33 “Setting the digital output”.)

Remove batteries if they are exhausted or if the remote is not to be used for a long time. Do not use old and new or different types of batteries in combination. Batteries contain chemical substances, so they should be disposed of properly.

Changing seating control position

Normally, the best sound spot and the ideal setting position is in the middle of the room.
With this ‘SEATING’ feature, it allows you to select the current seating position in the room
and the speaker setting will automatically adjust for optimum performance.

Setting the speakers’ channels

You can adjust the delay times (center and surround only) and volume level for individual speakers. These adjustments let you optimize the sound according to your surroundings and setup. Speaker settings are only active on Multichannel audio outputs.
