Top 20 Philips Cineos HTS9800W System Questions & Answers

To select a proper universal remote control, you should know about the number of digits to its set-up codes. There are 3 digit, 4 digit, 5 digit, 2 digit and even single digit codes, to some brand devices. After confirming this, check the sites linked here. Both the sites have set-up code list and set-up procedure to many popular brand remote controls. Check which brand remote control has set-up code/s to your device brand, and buy that one according to availability. Brand name of the remote control isn't a matter, but it should have set-up codes in its code list, to the device brand you have. Please note: Every new universal remote control will have set-up code list, and set-up procedure along with its pack. Never accept a remote control, that hasn't both of this. For more details about the set-up codes, visit the site http://electrohelponline.blogspot.com/ Check this site too. http://remotesearch.blogspot.com/ Universal remote controls are available at most of the electronic spare part selling shops. Visit some online sites too, which deals with electronic spare parts.

What have you tried? Is there any sound at all?

Hi,you have lost vertical deflection.
Possible causes are----

Vertical amp chip needs re soldering.--- very common !

Vertical amp chip has failed and needs replacing !

Failure of electrolytic capacitors in vert circuit

Failure of resisters that supply volts to the vertical circuit

Failure of deflection yoke ( not very common )

Hope this helps

NOTE . If you come across the two knobs that the other dude mentions let me know. I am sure that my fellow Tv techs would also be fascinated to learn of their existence.

The problem you are describing appears to be a vertical circuit problem. The most common problem has been bad solder connections on the vertical output IC. If you inspect the PC board around the vertical ic, you can sometimes see the bad connections. Or the vertical IC and the associated capacitors in the circuit can be the culprit. Average cost to repair should be around $100.00 "

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.

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.

I would like to buy your subwoofer for my broken system. Please contact me ASAP

I have just bought one of these today and have had the exact same problem. No rear sound and no blue light on the receiver box.

Solution:
What philips don't tell you in the manual and on the support site is that the receiver box has a switch hidden under a white sticker; next to the left of the right speaker connection. The switch has 3 positions which can be selected. I had tried each switch position and power cycled the subwoofer each time until eventually i got a blue light on the receiver box.

You may also need to select the correct channel on the control box by pressing the "sound" button for 5 seconds on the remote control.


It took me quite a while to try the different combinations until it finally worked. I can't imagine that Philips would have sent the system out without testing the wireless partnership first, so I am guessing my wireless network could have had something to do with it. (forever the optimist).

I did expect the subwoofer standby light to have gone off or changed colour once operational, but this just seems to stay on no matter what state it is in.

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 

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

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.

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.
