Peripheral Overview

In the Peripheral Overview you see the Philips
amBX™ PC Gaming Peripherals you connected
to the Wall Washer & Controller.

Note

: The Speakers and the Subwoofer are

not displayed in this overview, since Philips
amBX™ PC Gaming Direct Control does not
control the settings of these audio peripherals.
To manage your audio settings simply use the
standard Microsoft® facility or the software
that came with your audio card.

In this Peripheral Overview each

icon

represents a specific Philips amBX™ PC
Gaming Peripheral and its

position

in the

room. You can reposition the icons and change
their settings in the Peripheral Settings panel.

You open the

Peripheral Settings panel

by

clicking an icon in the Overview.

When you

add new peripherals

, the icons

appear in the Peripheral Overview as soon as
you plug them into the Wall Washer &
Controller. When you

unplug any Philips

amBX™ PC Gaming Peripherals

, the icons

immediately disappear from the Peripheral
Overview.

Position

In the Peripheral Overview, the horizontal pane in the area around the gamer is

divided into 8 segments

.

When you open the Configuration screen for the first time, the icons are positioned on their

default position

.

When these positions do not match the actual hardware set-up,

Adjust

the hardware setup or

Match

the position of the icons in the Peripheral Overview to the actual position of the hardware in the

room by

repositioning the icons

. You can place the peripherals in one of the 8 segments or in the

center.

A peripheral also has a vertical positioning or

height,

in regard to the other peripherals. You define this height

in the

Peripheral Settings

panel. When all peripherals are placed on your desk, you use the height setting

'None'.

For example:

when a Fan is placed on your desktop and a Speaker Light is placed on the ground, you should

set a higher height setting for the Fan than for the Speaker Light.

By positioning the icons correctly in the Peripheral Overview, the amBX™ software is able to set the correct
setting for each peripheral to create an optimum experience for your room and setup.

Icons and their Peripheral Settings

Each icon in the Peripheral Overview represents a specific Philips amBX™ PC Gaming Peripheral and the current
status of the peripheral.

When a peripheral is

enabled

, the peripheral is

active

and will be used during gaming.

When a peripheral is

disabled

, the peripheral will

not participate

during gaming and cannot be used

to create the mood lighting.
