Important notes for users in the U.K.
Mains plug
This apparatus is tted with an approved 13- Amp plug.To change a fuse in this type of plug, proceed as follows:
1 Remove fuse cover and fuse. 2 Fix the new fuse which should be a BS1362 5-
Amp,A.S.T.A. or BSI approved type. 3 Ret the fuse cover.
If the tted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug should be tted in its place. If the mains plug contains a fuse, it should have a value of 5 Amp. If a plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the distribution board should not be greater than 5 Amp. Note:The severed plug must be disposed, so as to avoid a possible shock hazard due to it being inserted into another 13-Amp socket.
How to connect a plug
The wires in the mains lead are colored using the following codes: blue = neutral (N), brown = live (L).
As these colors may not correspond with the color markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: Connect the blue wire to the terminal
marked N or colored black. Connect the brown wire to the terminal
marked L or colored red. Do not connect either wire to the earth
terminal in the plug, marked E (or e) or colored green (or green and yellow).
Before replacing the plug cover, make sure that the cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the lead and not simply over the two wires.

WARNING Never try to repair the system yourself as this will invalidate the warranty. Do not open the system as there is a risk of electric shock.
If a fault occurs, rst check the points listed below before taking the system for repair. If you are unable to resolve a problem by following these hints, consult your dealer or Philips for help.
Problem Solution
15.Troubleshooting
During the rst-time setup, the display on the Station shows Searching for Center.
I get interference on my wireless (Wi-Fi) link between the Center and Station. The WACS7000 operates in the 2.4GHz radio frequency spectrum. Many other household/IT devices also operate in this frequency spectrum, for example: microwave ovens, Dect phones, bluetooth devices like bluetooth headphones, computer mouse, wireless routers, cordless phones,Wi-Fi compatible printers, PDAs.These devices can interfere with the Wi-Fi link between the Center and Station, resulting in interference such as pause during playback, slow response to your operation, etc.The severity of interference varies depending on the extent of radiation from the device and the strength of Wi-Fi signals in that position.
Check that you have placed the Center and Station side by side on a at and rm surface.
Check that you have connected the Center to the power supply.
When adding a new station, check that the center is in Installation mode (see 11.1 Network setting: Adding Additional Station to the Wi-Fi network on the Center).
Turn off the wireless Access Point nearby if you encounter difculty connecting the Center and Station.
If you are playing the set, stop playback and take the appropriate measures as follows:
Keep the Center or Station at least 3 meters away from such devices.
Use the WEP/WPA key when connecting the Center and Station to an existing wireless PC network.To set WEP/WPA key, connect Center/Station to your PC using Philips Wireless Audio Device Manager (WADM) in the by-packed PC Suite CD. In WADMs Device conguration, enter the Wireless Network sub-menu, and in Device Wireless Authentication Type, select WEP or WPA.
Change the operating channel of the Center and Station when connecting them to an existing wireless PC network.To change channels, connect the Center/Station to your PC using Philips Wireless Audio Device Manager (WADM) in the by-packed PC Suite CD.

On the center, please go to Menu -> Information -> Wireless -> Status, check that the Center has been changed from Ad-Hoc to Infrastructure mode, also check that the SSID, WEP key or WPA key matches the setup of your wireless home network. Please do the same on the station.
Try to change the SSID on your router to a more unique name if it is too generic, as your neighbors might be using a router with the same SSID.
WACS7000 supports wireless and wired connection at the same time.There is a chance that your wireless IP address and wired IP address are on the same subnet and this will confuse WACS7000. Suggest to change the DHCP range of your wireless router so that the wireless IP received by WACS7000 is on a different subnet from its wired IP.
You may have forgotten to set up the wireless network settings on the station. If you have not done so, please follow C1 in Connect to PC Guide on how to set up the Station to join the network.
Try to change the channel of your home network settings in the router.
On your router, suggest to use WPA key instead of WEP key.When using WEP as your encryption key, please set all 4 keys to be the same.
Make sure that the Turbo mode of your wireless router is switched off, if your router is has this function.
Please go to Menu->Network->Internet to check if your DNS server is correctly set up. Also make sure that you have set up proxy server if your home wireless network needs a proxy server for internet connection.
There is a chance that you are already successfully connected to Gracenote online, but your CD is not in their database.
15.Troubleshooting Problem Solution
I have done all the steps described in Connect to PC guide to connect my WACS7000 to my home wireless network, but the Center and Station are still not connected to each other.
I see the message Check the internet setup for CD Database on-line even though I am sure that the WACS7000 is connected to my home wireless network with internet connection.
