Speaker Setup And Testing; Power Handling; Headphones; Maintenance - Philips MX-955 Mode D'emploi

Speaker setup and testing

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.
Ideally, the volume in the listening position should be the
same from all speakers.
1 Press POWER / STANDBY to switch on the receiver.
2 Press TEST TONE on the remote control.
A test tone coming from the different speakers, except
y
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.

Power handling

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.

Headphones

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.

Maintenance

Clean the receiver with a soft,
slightly dampened, lint-free cloth. Do
not use any cleaning agents as they
may have a corrosive effect.
Do not expose the receiver to
humidity, rain, sand or excessive heat
(caused by heating equipment or
direct sunlight).
