FAQs
Can I connect a turntable directly to these speakers?
Yes, you can connect a turntable with a built-in phono preamp to the RCA inputs on the rear of the speakers.
What is the benefit of the bi-amped design?
Bi-amping provides dedicated power to the woofer and tweeter separately, reducing intermodulation distortion and resulting in cleaner, more accurate sound.
Can I use these speakers for professional music production?
While they offer high-fidelity sound suitable for reference listening, they are primarily designed for home entertainment and personal enjoyment.
Are the grilles washable?
The magnetic grilles can be removed; we recommend using a soft brush or a vacuum attachment with low suction to remove dust.
Does this system support multi-room audio?
Yes, through the Auracast feature, you can synchronize audio across multiple compatible Philips devices.
Troubleshooting
No sound output from HDMI ARC
Ensure your TV audio output is set to PCM or Bitstream and that the speakers are set to the HDMI ARC input mode.
Bluetooth connection drops out
Check that the transmitting device is within range and not obstructed by large metal objects, and ensure your device supports LDAC/LC3 if enabled.
Speakers are not appearing in the Philips app
Ensure your smartphone is on the same Wi-Fi network and that Bluetooth is active on the mobile device.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best performance, place the speakers at ear level on dedicated stands or a stable shelf, ensuring at least six inches of clearance from rear walls to allow the ports to breathe.
Setup Steps:
- Connect the left and right speakers using the included bridge cable.
- Connect your source (TV, Turntable, or PC) to the appropriate port (HDMI ARC, Optical, or RCA).
- Power on the speakers and download the Philips sound app to complete the initial pairing and firmware updates.
Care Instructions:
To maintain the high-gloss aesthetic, dust the cabinets gently with a dry, microfiber cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can dull the finish or create micro-scratches on the surface.
