20 Most Recent Philips Cineos HTS9800W System - Page 2 Questions & Answers

Are the speakers correctly connected and assigned, particularly the Center? Perhaps it's blown or damaged. Swap another speaker into that slot (Page 16) and the center into another connector as a temporary test to prove if the speaker itself is/is not the problem.

if you would like to sell the subwoofer i will take it off your hands for you

There are many issues that can cause that type of problem. Just take it in and pay the low cost for the estimate. It is well worth the money to do it that way.

Most probably it is a blown capacitor. So here's what you should do:
1. If and only if you have basic knowledge of electronics and are aware of the dangers the capacitors pose (even death) then open the amplifier case and look for blown capacitors (they look like batteries when they are OK and look like pop-corn when they are blown). Replace it with an identical one.
2. Take it to a specialized service where they'll do what I said at point 1.

hello
can sell me the junction box?

thanks

urgent

i need to buy a junction box, i lost my junction box, help me please

i want to buy your junction box, please.

Here's the fix: power off the sub-woofer and wait for 60 secs before powering it on again. My rear receiver works every time now.  I guess the sub-woofer isn't just a dumb speaker; it has some kind of smarts in it too.
Prior to this, I had only tried cycling power to the DVD player itself.  I also re-seated the two, fat cables connected to the junction box. One of them had worked itself slightly loose and the result was completely absent speaker channels.

you need to have a sound speed equalization higher frequencies travel slow,
if you can buy a AV/RF CONVERTER the problem can finish
AV be connected to devices and RF to tv
this can over come that problem

if you go into my computer and right click the device then properties, hardware then double click ur drive and region will be a link at the top set it to your region and your all set. remember you can only change the region 4 times!!

hope this helps

It's a short or a loose connection. Check where it hooks up to the surround system or sub. depending on what kind you have. Or you might have a mouse chewed it or a staple through it check the wire run for issues.

instert it of another CD if it is run s it means the CD of NO DISK display is defected, just hold the CD and roll it a ballpen in the center circle or twisted it by your fingers, the hole of the CD is small, so u need to wider it 

The subwoofer light stays red regardless of the state it is in despite it being labled a standby light. (It's more of a power on light) It seems that philips missed the point of what a standby light is.

I would have expected the light to have changed colour to indicate that the unit was operational and perhaps syncing with the receiver box.

Check that you have connected the component video lead to the correct sockets in both the TV and the HTS9800W.

There are two sets of Phono (cinch) connectors, which are grouped together.

Red / Green / Blue - Component connectors - video only

Red / White / Yellow - Stereo audio and composite video connectors - audio and vide

If you have inadvertently connected the red audio connector to the red component input on the TV, it would cause similar symptoms as you describe.

Its not designed to play HD DVDs, the model has HDMI connection in order to connect to latest output devices, viz flats panels and LCD tvs there by having a common audio and video cable. your model has a feature to upscale the normal DVD singal to match the quality output of hull HD TVs, hence the HDMI out put, do not confuse this with HD compatiability.

though yours is a high end set, but its not HD disc compatiable.

IF ALL WIRES ARE CORRECTLY BEEN SETUP OR INSTALLED THEN THE NEXT STEP IS TO CONFIGURE THE SYSTEM TO WORK ON ALL SPEAKERS...

Before the setup of the speakers' channels

• Press the SURR. button on the remote to select multichannel surround mode before adjusting the speaker settings.
• In case of sound distortion, press and hold the SOUND button to select another transmission channel for the wireless rear speakers.

Setting Speakers' Channels

1. Press to stop playback, then press SYSTEM MENU.
2. Press repeatedly to select { Audio Setup Page }.
3. Press to highlight { Speaker Setup Page }, then press .
   
   
4. Enter its submenu by pressing .
5. Press to highlight one of the options below at a time, then press .
   
   
   • { Speakers Volume } – Volume level setting for individual speakers (-6dB – +6dB).
     
     
   • { Speakers Delay } – Delay times setting in relation to the listening position/ distance for centre and surround speakers.
     
     
6. Press to adjust to the setting that best suit your surround sound needs.
7. Press OK to confirm.

Notes:

• 1 ms increase/decrease of delay time is equivalent to 30 cm change in distance. Use the longer delay time settings when the rear speakers are closer to the listener than the front speakers.
• The test tone will automatically be generated to help you judge the sound level of each speaker.

The system must run through its routine before it can start up. If a mechanism is jammed or a switch is not contacting, it won't complete its routine and therefore will not start up.
