How to Install Surround Sound on a Philips HTS3544
The Phillips HTS3544 is a 5.1 surround sound system, meaning that it has five speakers and one subwoofer. The system is controlled using the included receiver unit. Phillips makes installation easy by labeling each speaker as to where they are supposed to go and color coding the cables from the speakers to match the colors on the back of the receiver. Phillips also provides a variety of ways you can connect the receiver unit, which has a built-in DVD player to a TV.

Place the speakers in the appropriate place. Place the front speakers go to the right and left of the television, but slightly turned towards the area where you will sit to watch TV (the listening area). Place the rear speakers behind the listening area on either side. Point these speakers towards the listening area as well. Place the center speaker either above or below the center of the television. Place the subwoofer at least a meter away from the TV--if possible, in a corner of the room.
