Welcome !

Thank you for buying this Philips Compact Disc Recorder / Player Double Deck. In the eighties Philips invented a new audio system - the CD. The CD (compact disc) revealed to you the new dimensions of digital sounds and added to the pleasures of audio. Compact disc technology permits a high contrast in loud as well as in quiet passages, with perfect channel separation. Philips has now further developed compact disc technology and the result is the CD recorder. With your Philips CD recorder/player, you can make your own high-quality audio CDs (subject only to legal restrictions on copying), either by recording at normal or high speed from the Player to the Recorder, or by recording from an external source. And naturally, you can also play all pre-recorded audio CDs, using one or both decks individually, or together as a 2deck changer.

- 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

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.
1 Open the battery compartment cover. 2 Insert 2 batteries (AA, LR-6 or UM-3; as supplied) as shown. 3 Replace the cover.
Note: - If the CD recorder is in Standby mode (red led on), press any key to activate the recorder. - The CD recorder will automatically adjust to the local mains voltage. - When the CD recorder is in the OFF position, it is still consuming some power. If you wish to disconnect your player completely from the mains, withdraw the plug from the AC outlet.
Note: We recommend you use 2 batteries of the same type and condition. Batteries contain chemical substances, so they should be disposed of properly.

Setup recommendations

- Place the CD recorder on a solid, vibration free surface. - Do not place the CD recorder near a source of heat or in direct sunlight. - Do not use the CD recorder under extremely damp conditions. - If the CD recorder is placed in a cabinet, make sure that a 2.5 cm space remains free on all sides of the CD recorder for proper ventilation.
- Do not put the CD recorder on top of other equipment that heats up the CD recorder (e.g. receiver or amplifier).
