Customer Review

I just got the home theater system from Philips. A big heavy cardboard
weighing about 25 kg, I was sent to you via UPS. After opening the
Cartons are all products of this home theater system very well in Styrofoam and fabric
packed. I have taken the manual, studied briefly and me
unpacking the home theater system made.

The home theater system includes:
4 surround speakers
1 Center speaker
1 Subwoofer (passive)
1 home theater system (Compact)
4 feet massive square metal feet for 4 surround speakers
4 renewals / increases in 4 Surroundlausprecher
1 radio transmitter / receiver

For unpacking and assembling the home theater system is approximately 1-2
Hours needed. It is not particularly difficult, all according to a modular principle and
self-explanatory.

Construction of 4 surround speakers:
The 4 surround speakers are made of plastic in a beautiful black
Piano lacquer provided (Caution fingerprints!) All speakers (colored)
prewired 3 / 6m cable and to each speaker is hintendran where this in
Space is placed.
This can either be on the wall (screws and dowels not included in the
Delivery) be hanged or with black plastic (not
shiny) associated extensions / tripods screwed (1 per long
Screw) are. All 4 surround speakers are on massive heavy
Brackets which are in turn bolted to the extension (4 screws). The
massive square feet are provided with a black piano lacquer.
The front of Surroundlausprecher is a black metal cover
provided that is not removable.
All speakers make a very high-quality impression and stand
very safe on the floor. It can be seen there are no sharp edges. For
Assembling one only needs its own Philips screwdriver.

Center-surround speakers:
This can either be suspended (screws and dowels are not included in
Delivery) or it can be placed standing well below the TV set.
By rubberized feet, it is very stable and not slippery. The Center is also coated in a gloss black piano lacquer
(Fingerprints!), Is also pre-wired and also makes a very high quality
processed impression.

The surround back speakers:
These two butt Surroundlausprecher I liked particularly well, since
these are also pre-wired, and not on the home theater system in the front room
must be joined.
It comes with a (black) radio box, be on this the
connected two surround back speakers.
A routing the cables through the apartment eliminated thereby.
This radio box must be connected to an electrical outlet, and transmits the
Signal without distortion to the home theater system. As this radio box is constantly on
Power depends on them are not mutually exclusive. The range of the transmitter / receiver
5m with me.

The subwoofer:
The subwoofer is made of black, matt wood. He is a passive loudspeaker and
therefore does not require a power connection. Again, this is already vorherkabelt color.

The home theater system:
The home theater system is made of black matt plastic / metal. She's nice and flat
and needs very little space.
All speaker terminals are color-coded, making it very a
simply makes the surround speakers to connect to it. One has only
eighth - the polarity (+ and). These are on the back of the
Home theater system (color) clearly visible. In the case of the loudspeakers is the symbol
the polarity printed very small. If you have to get out of rotation, then simply
Connect speaker terminals to the colors on the home theater system and
finished.

There are on the back, further connections:
1x RJ45 Ethernet port (cable not supplied)
1x AUX input: (eg satellite receiver)
1x Digital Optical Input (Coax)
1x HDMI output (cable not included)
1x Antenna Input (incl. Cable)

Commissioning:
After setting up the home theater system and the structure and location of the
Surround speakers, the first commissioning was carried out. As of
Philips used is all in capital letters ausrechend almost self-explanatory
written. The home theater system guides the user through the first device. It
it is checked whether this Internet is available via cable or WIFI. This system can
very well integrated into an Internet modem router via WLAN. The signal is
well, however has to go the wireless connection by 2 concrete ceilings. It will
checked whether there is a new firmware and updated this. After this
Initial start-up, you can test this great building nearby on heart and kidney.
This home theater system recognizes which devices on the same network together
sparks, and this can also connect with one another.

Playing DVD and Blueray:
It can be set if the DVD / Bluray when you insert the CD / DVD immediately
you want to start or prompt. The language and subtitle can
adjusted with the buttons on the remote control (Audio and Subtitle)
, provided that the CD / DVD support this. Super clear and judder image
and the sound is outstanding. A feast for the ears as far as the sound. It can
be adjusted by the remote control different sound patterns and even
personalize. These settings can be via the OSD on the screen,
on the cover display when watching a DVD / Blueray on the TV set
recognize. For every taste the right sound is. The rear surround
Lausprecher transmit the sound properly and can also be in the
Adjust the volume, distance from the audience and the room sounds. It is not
Noise and no humming, occurred during testing of this system. Here looks
one that Philips high quality at a moderate price
/ Performance ratio offered. Who does not access here is your own fault.

DivX Files

register and activate a registration code is mentioned in the device.
This feature has not been verified in the test.

Smart TV:
Through an Internet connection through an RJ-45 cable or via WiFi, it is possible
to also use Smart TV from Philips.
Who older TVs without this function is with this home theater system good
operated, since it is already integrated here.
All main functions can be set via the remote control and a few
few on the Senoren-touchpad on the device itself.
The service responds with some Apps somewhat delayed, but finally
This device has a home theater system and not a computer.
Compared to previous models Smart TV's is a lot faster. It
happens that Smart TV just crashed and can not be reactivated. Help Here
only off and on again. When watching Smart TV apps can be only the volume and not the
Change sound. Some apps are very bassy, ​​making it uncomfortable
roars. Even the sound patterns can not Vedas changed.
If that does not bother, this home theater system is a top device.
With a new firmware Philips could still make improvements.

Remote control (house icon) allows the computer / server for data
Browse when data is shared.

connected. The device detects that the AUX port is used and
automatically turns on AUX to which can also be seen on the display.
The sound can be optimized and adjusted by the user.
It is possible to adjust the volume and different sound patterns with the remote control
Set, unfortunately only on the small screen on the home theater system and not as

Screen.

Conclusion:
The Philips Home Theatre System HTB5580G / 12 offers good facilities at a
fair price / performance ratio. The settings are for some practice

System is optimal with 4 surround, 1 center and 1 subwoofer speakers
tuned to the whole system. In a 37m² large room, this can be
fill with a very crystal clear surround sound. The speakers can also be
manually with the remote control on each his own taste; also
can adjust the distance of the speakers, but this minimal to hear
is.
When Smart TV hiring speakers and surround sound is missing. At
poor transmission quality is very distorted or too bassy. Of the
Subwoofer can not manually adjust at the back, since this is a
Passive system is, but this is negligible weight, because the sound good
is adapted. All in all it is a beautiful system because all
Sourroundlautsprecher held plastic in a black piano lacquer and
also stand on solid feet, with a plastic piano lacquer
are coated. We particularly like the one the rear surround speakers
Have transmission box, the signal and the the home theater system Send
