Mains plug  
Typeskilt finnes på apparatens  
underside.  
This apparatus is fitted with an  
approved 13 Amp plug.  
To change a fuse in this type of plug  
proceed as follows:  
Observer: Nettbryteren er sekundert  
innkoplet. Den innebygde netdelen er  
derfor ikke frakoplet nettet så lenge  
apparatet er tilsluttet nettkontakten.  
1
2
Remove fuse cover and fuse.  
Fix new fuse which should be a  
BS1362 5 Amp, A.S.T.A. or BSI  
approved type.  
For å redusere faren for brann eller  
elektrisk støt, skal apparatet ikke  
utsettes for regn eller fuktighet.  
3
Refit the fuse cover.  
If the fitted plug is not suitable for your  
socket outlets, it should be cut off and  
an appropriate plug fitted in its place. If  
the mains plug contains a fuse, this  
should have a value of 5 Amp. If a plug  
without a fuse is used, the fuse at the  
distribution board should not be greater  
than 5 Amp.

Hiermit wird bescheinigt, daß dieses  
Gerät in Übereinstimmung mit den  
Bestimmungen der  
Amtsblattverfügung 1046/1984  
funkentstört ist.  
Note: The severed plug must be  
disposed of to avoid a possible shock  
hazard should it be inserted into a 13  
Amp socket elsewhere.

How to connect a plug  
The wires in the mains lead are  
coloured with the following code:  
blue = neutral (N), brown = live (L).  
As these colours may not correspond  
with the colour markings identifying the  
terminals in your plug, proceed as  
follows:  
Connect the blue wire to the  
terminal marked N or coloured  
black.  
Connect the brown wire to the  
terminal marked L or coloured red.  
Do not connect either wire to the  
earth terminal in the plug, marked  
E (or ) or coloured green (or green  
and yellow).  
Before replacing the plug cover, make  
certain that the cord grip is clamped  
over the sheath of the lead - not simply  
over the two wires.

Description  
Philips Advanced Technologies  
Ultra-thin design, powerful 5.1 surround audio!  
wOOx™  
The A 3.600 Acoustic Surround Power / MMS  
306 is the result of the ultimate fusion of Philips  
acoustical core competencies. We created a 5.1-  
channel speaker system that features five ultra-  
thin soft flat panel speakers, a variety of mounting  
options and an explosive wOOx™ subwoofer. The  
set is the perfect choice for a space-saving hifi  
audio solution.  
Anchored by a 50 watt subwoofer, the A 3.600  
Acoustic Surround Power / MMS 306 system  
employs Philips’ patented wOOx™ Bass Driver  
technology to generate superior bass from a  
deceptively small enclosure. The wOOx™ bass  
drivers are composed of a unique dual suspension  
design mounted in front of the subwoofer resulting  
in a deeper, richer bass performance you would  
expect from a larger subwoofer. With the  
symmetrical construction of the wOOx™ Bass  
Radiator, there is complete balance of the  
membrane movement producing no discernable  
distortion. As a result, gaming and movie effects  
are more intense and music more enjoyable.  
This Soft Flat Panel speaker system is especially  
designed to be a hifi multimedia 5.1-channel  
speaker system. All together, there can be  
connected up to three audio-visual sources at the  
same time directly to the speaker system. Three  
keys on the remote control are provided to make  
your audio device selection:  
INPUT 1 à 5.1-channel input  
INPUT 2 à stereo input  
INPUT 3 à stereo input  
Soft Flat Panel Satellite Speakers  
NXT* has developed a unique loudspeaker  
technology that has redesigned the shape of  
sound. Philips has taken a new step in optimizing  
the implementation of NXT’s* technology by adding  
a High Frequency Booster. The High Frequency  
Booster boosts the sound pressure at higher  
frequencies, thereby enabling the use of a soft  
panel material whose sound quality surpasses the  
performance of many home audio systems.  
This 5.1-channel speaker system will enhance  
dramatically your gaming and audio-visual  
experience. It delivers the ultimate sound solution  
during games and movies by providing thrilling  
surround sound with an intense bass impact. For  
optimum performance, the set is best used with  
5.1-channel audio inputs.  
When connecting stereo audio-visual sources to  
the set, (INPUT 2 or INPUT 3), built in multi-channel  
processing algorithms will indulge you sound from  
all speakers around you.

Speaker Placement  
(Illustration page 9)  
General  
·
Placing speakers behind curtains, furniture, or any other  
objects will reduce the treble response, thus reducing  
the stereo effect significantly.  
·
Each room has different acoustic characteristics and  
the placement possibilities are often limited. You can  
find the best position for your speakers by  
experimenting. In general, the speakers should be  
placed as symmetrical as possible in the room.  
Front Satellite Speakers (figure a)  
·
·
·
The front left and right satellite speaker play stereo  
music and the off-screen sounds of video playback.  
These satellites should be placed to the sides of your  
TV or monitor.  
Viewed from the listener’s position, the satellite speaker  
connected to FRL at the subwoofer should be on the  
left side, and the satellite speaker connected to FRR at  
the subwoofer should be on the right side.  
The best stereo effect is obtained when the two front  
satellite speakers and the listener form an equilateral  
triangle.  
·
·
The optimum height for these speakers is when they  
are placed at ear height (while seated).  
Center Satellite Speaker (figure b)  
·
The center satellite speaker provides the on-screen  
effects and dialog in Dolby Digital / Dolby Surround.  
It should be placed as close to the center of your TV /  
monitor as possible (e.g. underneath or on top of your  
TV / monitor).  
·
·
It should be directed at the listener’s ear level while  
seated.  
Surround Satellite Speakers (figure c)  
·
The surround left and right satellite speaker provide  
the surround effects in Dolby Digital / Dolby Surround  
These satellites may be placed in any convenient sites  
alongside the listener, even sites slightly forward the  
listener’s position.  
·
·
·
The surround satellite speakers do not have to be at  
exactly the same height as the front satellite speakers.  
Viewed from the listener’s position, the satellite speaker  
connected to SRL at the subwoofer should be on the  
left side, and the satellite speaker connected to SRR at  
the subwoofer should be on the right side.  
·
If you have side walls close to your listening position,  
good placement for your surround satellites is slightly  
behind your position and slightly above ear level.  
Subwoofer (figure d)  
·
The subwoofer’s optimum place is on the floor close to  
the wall. The closer it is to the corner, the stronger the  
maximum bass output.  
·
The subwoofer is not magnetically shielded, so position  
it at least 0.5 meter from the TV / monitor.
