Placing Center and Station
Setting up Wi-Fi connection
between Center and Station
Mounting stand onto Station
WAS5
Station is equipped with a stand. Once
inserted, the stand is undetachable.
Align the supplied stand to the jack at Station’s
bottom
Wi-Fi connection starts automatically when
you power up WAC5 Center and WAS5
Station
The first time you set up Wi-Fi connection,
place Center and Station side by side on a flat
and firm surface
First, connect the Center to power supply,
and then, connect the Station to power supply
Center/Station:
➜ The screen lights up. Auto installation/
connection star ts.
➜ You will enter HD (Harddisk) mode when
the installation/connection is finished.
Insert the stand into the jack firmly
IMPORTANT!
Take the following steps to optimize the
Wi-Fi connection between Center and
Station.
– Keep your Center and Station away
from the source of interference
(microwave ovens, DECT phones,
bluetooth devices, cordless phones,
other Wi-Fi products, etc.)
– Avoid placing your Center or Station
close to the plasma TV. It may result in
improper display on your Center’s 2-way
remote control.
– Keep Stations adequately apart or in
different angles (e.g. in different rooms
blocked by one wall). Within a distance
and angle (e.g. in the same room), your
Center’s remote control is powerful
enough to simultaneously operate
several Stations, which may also result in
improper display on the 2-way remote
control.
WACS5_Eng/37
20
Relocate Center and Station as desired: plug
and stream
● Simply unplug your Center or Station and
power them up in other rooms.
➜ You will be able to move the harddisk music
between Center and Station.
Helpful hints:
– Make sure you have powered up Center before
powering up Station.
IMPORTANT!
– Turn the Wi-Fi antenna for best reception.
– Avoid thick walls. Your Center and Station should
never be blocked by 2 or more walls.
– Avoid placing the sets close to large metal
objects.
– Adjust the location of your Center and Station
according to the reception status of Wi-Fi signals.
– indicates maximum reception
– indicates minmum reception
– WACS5 do not support range expander devices

WARNING
Under no circumstances should you 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, first check the points listed below before taking the system for repair. If
you are unable to remedy a problem by following these hints, consult your dealer or
Philips for help.
Problem
Solution
Wi-Fi connection:
During the first-time setup, Station’s
display shows “Searching for Center”.
✔ Check you have placed the Center and Station
side by side on a flat and firm surface
✔ Check you have connected the Center to power
supply
✔ When adding a new station, check your center is
in Installation mode (See HD, Station
management)
I get interference on my wireless (WiFi)
link between center and station.
The WACS 5 operate in the 2.4GHz radio
frequency spectrum. Many other household/IT
devices also operate in the frequency spectrum,
for example: microwave ovens, Dect phones,
bluetooth devices like bluetooth headphones,
computer mouse, wireless routers, cordless
phones, WiFi compatible printers, PDAs.
These devices can interfere with the WiFi link
between Center and Station, resulting in such
interference as the pause during playback , the
set’s slow response to your operation. The
severity of interference varies depending on the
extent of radiation from the device and the
strength of Wi-Fi signals in the position.
✔
✔
✔
✔
✔
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 key when connecting your
Center and Station to an existing wireless PC
network. See the manual Connect to
your PC.
Change the operating channel of your Center
and Station when connecting them to an existing
wireless PC network. To learn about how to
change channels, see the manual Connect to
your PC.
If possible, change the operating channels of
the other Wi-Fi devices at your home.
Turn the devices in different directions to
minimize interference.
Remote control:
When I am using the Center’s 2-way
remote control, it starts to show
"connecting ....connecting" on the display
endlessly.
When you read this message on the 2-way
remote control, there could be the following
interference on your remote control:
1) interference signals from the Plasma TV screen
(if this device is turned on);
2) conflicting IR signals from a nearby WAS5
Station
