GENERAL INFORMATION AND DISCS

Discs for recording

For recording use, special audio discs must be used (for music only). These Discs bear the logos as shown below. The text DIGITAL AUDIO is present! Your recorder uses two types of discs for recording purposes: - CD-Audio Recordable (CDR) discs: fully recorded and finalized, these discs play on all CD players and recorders.

Maintenance

For recording it is very important to use dust and scratch free discs. To clean a CD, wipe it in a straight line from the center toward the edge using a soft, lint-free cloth. A cleaning agent may damage the disc! Write only on the printed side of a CDR or CDRW, and only with a soft felt-tipped pen.
- CD-Audio ReWritable (CDRW) discs: can be recorded, erased and re-recorded hunderds of times. When finalized, they ReWritable play on CDRW compatible CD players and recorders. In the course of 1999 most Philips CD players and recorders will be CDRW compatible.
Clean the CD recorder with a soft, slightly dampened lint-free cloth. Do not use any cleaning agents as they may have a corrosive effect.

Important:

To ensure proper working of the set we recommend the use of Philips audio CDR and audio CDRW discs only. Do not expose the CD recorder, batteries or CDs to humidity, rain, sand or excessive heat (caused by heating equipment or direct sunlight).

Discs for playback

Your CD recorder is able to play:
AUDIO CD RECORDABLE/REWRITABLE
Always keep the tray closed to avoid dust on the lens. - All pre-recorded audio CDs. - All Audio CDR and Audio CDRW. The lenses may cloud over when the CD recorder is suddenly moved from cold to warm surroundings. It is not possible to play a CD then. Leave the CD recorder in a warm environment until the moisture evaporates.
Note: CDR(W) discs recorded with a computer can only be used when they are correctly treated according the audio standard (IEC958: Consumer part). Single session only!

Accessories

- 2 Analog audio cables (with red and white plugs) - 1 Digital coaxial cable (with black plugs) - Power cord - 2 Batteries - Remote control - Guarantee

INSTALLATION

English Connections general
For playback on the CD recorder (and/or CD player deck) the following outputs are present: - Digital coaxial output (CD & CDR); - Analog output (CD & CDR). We advise you to connect these to the TAPE or CDR input on your amplifier. For external recording the following inputs are present: - Digital optical input; - Digital coaxial input; - Analog input. For playback of CD player deck separately (DJ mode) from the CD recorder the following outputs are present: - Digital coaxial output (CD); - Analog output (CD). We advise you to connect these to the CD input on your amplifier. The connections you make will depend upon the possibilities your audio equipment offers. Please refer to the user manuals for your other audio equipment first.

Digital recordings (optical or coaxial) give the best performance in audio and usability (e.g. auto-track).
(The digital optical connection is less sensitive to external disturbances). If your equipment does not offer digital connections, the high quality Analog-Digital-Convertor of your CD recorder will ensure very good audio performance when recordings are made from the analog input. Playback via the digital coaxial output of the CD recorder gives the best audio performance. If your equipment does not offer digital connections, the high quality Digital-Analog-Convertor of the CD recorder ensures a very good sound quality via the analog output. We advise you to always establish both digital and analog connections. In this way you can always make analog recordings when digital recording is not possible. We have described the most common ways of connecting the CD recorder. If you still have difficulties with the connections you can always contact the Philips Consumer Service desk in your country.

Analog connections CD recorder & CD player
This connection must be made for playback on the CD recorder deck as well as the CD player deck (cable 2). Cable 1 is only required if you want to make recordings from an external analog source.
Analog connections CD player deck
This connection is only required if you want to playback on the CD player deck seperately from the CD recorder deck. This will be the case in DJ-mode.
Use the audio cables supplied. Connect the red plugs to the R sockets, and the white plugs to the L sockets. 1 For recording, connect cable 1 between the ANALOG INsockets on the CD recorder and the CDR LINE- or TAPE OUTsockets of an amplifier.
1 For separate playback on the CD player deck, connect a third cable 3 (not supplied) between the ANALOG OUT sockets of the CD recorder and the input sockets of an amplifier e.g. CD, or AUX. (Connect the red plugs to the R sockets, and the white plugs to the L socket.)
Note: For recording directly from a CD player, the analog input of the CD recorder should be connected to the analog output of the CD player.
2 For playback, connect cable 2 between the ANALOG OUTsockets on the CD recorder and the input sockets of an amplifier e.g. TAPE IN, CDR or AUX.
Note: - Never use the PHONO input. - Your CD recorder/player is equipped with a digital coaxial output for the CD player deck. This output can be used for digital playback.
Note: Never use the PHONO input.
Digital coaxial connections CD recorder
This connection is only required if you want to make recordings from an external CD player with a digital coaxial output.
Digital optical connections CD recorder
This connection is only required if you want to make recordings from an external CD player with a digital optical output.
Use the digital coaxial cable supplied. 1 For external recording, connect the cable 4 between the DIGITAL IN-socket on the CD recorder and the DIGITAL OUTsocket of an external CD player. When connecting the Digital Optical cable, make sure it is fully inserted until there is a click.
Note: Your CD recorder is equipped with a digital coaxial output (common output for CD recorder & CD player deck). This output can be used for digital playback.
1 Remove the dust caps from the digital optical connection. (We recommend you save the cap.) 2 For external recording, connect a fibre-optic cable 5 between the digital optical input of the CD recorder and the digital-optical output of an external CD player.
Note: For playback, the digital coaxial outputs or analog outputs of the CD Player and CD recorder should be connected to an amplifier.
Power supply Inserting batteries in the remote control English
1 Plug the power cord supplied into the MAINS connector on the CD recorder, then into a mains socket. 2 Press ON/OFF. The CD recorder will switch on.
