2.3. Detailed Installation Guide
Your new Aurilium sound processor is a standard USB audio device. This means even if you
don’t install PSA2, you will still be able to play all your PC audio streams just by connecting the
Aurilium Sound Processor to the USB port on your PC. This, however, will not give provide full
functionality. Be sure to install the Philips Sound Agent 2 drivers to enjoy the full benefits of
your state of the art PC sound device. First, install the hardware as follows:
2.3.1. Hardware Installation
Before you install the hardware, you need to assemble the base to the box. You can position the
Aurilium box horizontally or vertically on your desk. Attach the base to the narrow, or the wide
side of the box as shown in Figure 3. Use the accompanying screw to secure the base to the
Aurilium case. Over tightening may damage the case.
2.3.2. Speaker Connection
You need to have a set of self-powered speakers. Self-powered means they have their own
power supply that plugs into an AC outlet or uses batteries. It is strongly recommended that you
refer to the documentation that came with your speakers to determine the type and connection
for your speakers. If you have commonly used set of PC stereo speakers, connect them to the
green jack labeled “Front” in the back of Aurilium (see Figure 2).
Important Note: If you connect the Rear speakers or the subwoofer before connecting the
front speakers, an “ Invalid Speaker Configuration ” error message will appear at the lower right
hand corner of the screen as shown in Figure 4. When you only have two speakers, even if
they are positioned behind you, they must be connected to the front jack. See “ Invalid Speaker
Configuration ” section under Setup tap description section in this document.

If you have digital speakers, or any type of digital decoder box that uses a digital audio (S/PDIF)
signal, identify the type of cable that is supplied with the speaker set. The Aurilium Sound
Processor has two types of digital signal output connectors, the RCA jack and the optical
connector. Connect the cable to the appropriate jack on the back of the Aurilium. The optical
connector may have a protective cap that needs to be removed before connecting to it. To
enable Digital output go to the Setup Tab of the PSA2 panel (see Setup Tab description under
Main Control Panel section of this document).
