Hello I have HTS9800W/12 and my neighbour have same model, so now my rear
speakers make connection with neighbour´s system not mine.
I changed ID channel (now ID=2) under receiver box (blue light box) and it helped - no connection with neighbour system. But now my system also dont make connection with receiver box.
How I can change ID channel in HTS9800W/12 model?
It should work by holding down SURR button, but I read that with "/12" model it dont work?!
I also have a hts9800w with rear speaker problems. Wireless box (covers the 3 rear speakers) intermittently not connecting when powering on. Tried different frequencies on the box/DVD unit but still the same problem. Have always had this problem even after swapping the whole system. Philips have arranged to replace the remote box but I don't believe that it is going to work
Try this one:
Set up the HTS9800W and playback any CD. Toggle the ‘SURR’ button on the remote control till 6.1 audio surround mode is shown on the FTD.
Please check if there is a blue light on top of the wireless receiver box.
1a) If Yes, there is a blue light,
Step 1 -> Press and hold SOUND button on the remote control to change channel. The channel
change is reflected on the front display of the set as CH0, CH1 or CH2.
Check if there is audio. If no audio, please repeat procedure to change channel till all 3 channels
are tried. If there is audio from the rear speakers, issue is solved.
If not, please proceed to Step 2.
Step 2 -> Press and hold SURR button on the remote control to change ID. This ID change is
reflected on the front display of the set as ID1, ID2 or ID3.
Note: For later sets(if above procedure do not work), the procedure to change the ID is as follows:
1) Go to Aux mode
2) Key in “8” , “6” ,”2”, “4”
3) ID change is reflected on the FTD of the set as ID1, ID2 or ID3.
Step 3 -> Repeat step 2 till FTD shows ID1. Proceed to look for a mechanical switch (hidden by a
white sticker) at the bottom of the wireless receiver set and switch it to number '1'. See Fig 2 to 4
for ID switch location. Check for blue light on top of the wireless receiver box and audio from all
the rear speakers.
Blue LED ON
Peel off the white sticker label to reveal
If there is no audio, please repeat Step 2 and 3 till you get ID2 and set the wireless receiver box
switch to ‘2’. Check again for blue light on top of the wireless receiver box and audio from all the
rear speakers.
If there is no audio, please repeat Step 2 and 3 till you get ID3 and set the wireless receiver box
switch to ‘3’. Check again for blue light on top of the wireless receiver box and audio from all the
rear speakers.
Hope that helps....
Does your system have a separate volume or level control for the rear speakers? also, are they subs? or actual rear speakers?

There are an awful lot of
nice things to say about Philips' HTS9800W home theatre system. This
6.1 wireless home theatre system has an air of Bang & Olufsen about
it, minus the price tag. Wafer thin speakers combine with a vertically
mounted DVD player to create a system that looks, and more importantly,
sounds excellent. On top of this, wireless connectivity frees the rear
three speakers, making tangled wires trailing across the living room a
thing of the past. Just make sure you've got room for all the extra
cables that are going to be cluttering up the front.
With the HTS9800W Philips really has raised
the bar when it comes to affordable yet stylish home theatre. The
design of the system wouldn't look out of place in a package costing
many times the relatively modest asking price. The six sleek speakers
are identical, each housing two small woofers and a neodymium ribbon
tweeter. The four corner speakers can be wall mounted or attached to
the included chrome stands, whereas the centre and rear-centre speakers
come with built in stands and are placed horizontally. A plainly
finished matching subwoofer completes the package.
What really sets the system off is the main
DVD player, which spurns the usual boxy look and opts for a standalone
vertical design. This isn't so good if you wish to place it under the
television, but it looks great so there's no need to hide it away. The
system is touch sensitive, with a panel of glowing blue controls along
the front, and a slot-in DVD mechanism on the side. A one line LCD
displays track names across the middle of the unit.
Because the system is so unusually shaped,
there are limited connections on the box itself, with only an FM radio
antenna and HDMI out. Everything else is connected using a junction
box, which is itself connected with some fairly clunky cables. This
auxiliary connection box houses component, composite and coaxial
connections. There's no optical or S-video anywhere on the system. The
remote is one of the few let-downs with regards to the design. Finished
in plain silver, it is unintuitive to use and rather unattractive in
comparison to the main system.
When it comes to connecting the speakers
Philips has used some simple colour coded plugs and a proprietary
connection to ensure simplicity. The front three speakers attach
directly to the subwoofer, while the rear three connect to a wireless
receiver that needs A/C power to operate. Once this is done everything
is ready to go. Philips doesn't include an automatic calibration
microphone, so it's necessary to set the levels and delay of each
speaker manually. At first we found the centre speaker to be far too
loud and the rear corner speakers too soft, but we were easily able to
correct this.
We grew even fonder of this system after
performing our audio tests, where it performed brilliantly, especially
for music. Across all genres the sound was rich and involving, with
deep bass and crisp audio through the higher frequencies. The Rolling
Stones' Sympathy for the Devil and Outkast's GhettoMusick
sounded spot on. The unit is also capable of high volumes without
distortion, though is perhaps a little quiet when watching DVDs.
Philips include several sound modes such as action, drama and sci-fi
which equalise the sound for the appropriate kind of film and we found
them quite useful in the right situations.
Using HDMI out the picture quality from the
HTS9800W was very good, with the inclusion of basic brightness and
contrast controls handy for fine tuning the picture. The hallucinogenic
colours in Shark Boy and Lava Girl were recreated perfectly
without over-saturation. Another nifty feature from Philips is the lip
synch control, for when the picture and sound are not in time. Like
most home theatre systems these days the HTS9800W isn't limited to
playing just DVDs or CDs. Philips has included support for Super Audio
CDs (SACD) which are touted as a high-end alternative to regular CDs.
Also included is support for DivX movies, JPEG photos and MP3/WMA music
files. Philips has produced one of the few interfaces where access to
these data files is actually intuitive, and where the system recognises
multiple kinds of files on the same disc. Playback quality is good, and
we were especially impressed by the unit's MP3 and WMA output, with a
dedicated digital music setting giving great, lifelike sound.
Overall the HTS9800W is an impressive system.
Its unusual, yet attractive, design makes it an ideal purchase for the
style conscious buyer who also wants great performance and practicality
to boot.
Here's the fix: power off the sub-woofer and wait for 60 secs before
powering it on again. My rear receiver works every time now. I guess
the sub-woofer isn't just a dumb speaker; it has some kind of smarts in it too.
Prior to this, I had only tried cycling power to the DVD player itself. I
also re-seated the two, fat cables connected to the junction box. One of them
had worked itself slightly loose and the result was completely absent speaker
channels. You can connect also your PC / Laptop you will need a cable that
haves a headphone jack to RCA cables and you will plug the headphone in to the
computer and the RCA in to your home theater system.
