INSTALLATION
CHECKING THE POWER SUPPLY SETTING
(Fig. 1)
• Check that the type plate on the rear of your
player Indicates the correct supply voltage.
• If your mains supply voltage is different, consult
your dealer or our Service Organisation.
SITING THE COMPACT DISC PLAYER
Free-standing
• Always position the player horizontally on a flat,
firm surface.
• Allow a free space of at least 3 cm above the
player so as notto interfere with the cooling of the
player.
In an audio rack
• The player can be sited in any desired position.
Stacked
• Site the player preferably at the bottom or at the
top.
• Never position the player directly on top of a
high-power amplifier, as such an amplifier gives
off a substantial amount of heat.
Warning
Never allow the player to stand for long periods in
direct sunlight or near a heat source.______________
CONNECTIONS (Fig. 4)
a Connection for the mains lead,
b OUTLR: for the connecting cable to the am
plifier.
• Insert a red plug into the ’R’ socket (right-hand
channel) and the other plug into the ’L’ socket
(left-hand channel).
• Insertthetwo other plugs into the corresponding
sockets of the CD or AUX input of your amplifier.
You can also use the TUNER orTAPE IN connec
tion, but never the PHONO input. This is not
suitable for Compact Disc reproduction.
c RC5IN/OUT: for a remote control system.
Use these sockets for connecting up the equip
ment when you are incorporating the player in a
PHILIPS HiFi-system v,/ith its own remote control
system.
REMOVING THE TRANSIT CLAMPS (Fig. 2-3)
The two red transit ciamps on the bottom iock the
piay mechanism to protect it during transportation.
• Turn the piayer upside down.
• Turn the clamps anti-clockwise and remove them
from the player.
• Store them in the recesses provided.
Repiace the clamps if you wish to transport the
piayer. To do this, turn the piayer upside down,
insert the clamps In the holes provided and rotate
them clockwise until they lock in position.
Fitting a Mains Plug
The wires in the mains lead are coloured:
Blue - Neutral Brown - Live
As these colours may not correspond with the
colour markings identifying the terminals in your
plug proceed as follows:
The Brown wire must be connected to the terminal
which is marked with the letter L or coloured Red.
The Blue wire must be connected to the terminal
which is marked with the letter N or coloured Black.
Wofe.'This apparatus must be protected by a3 amp
fuse if a 13 amp plug is used, or, if any other type of
plug is used, by a 5 amp fuse either in the plug or
adapter, or at the distribution board. If in doubt
consult a qualified electrician.

THE INDICATIONS ON THE DISPLAY (Fig. 6)
Each Compact Disc has, along with the music, a list
detailing the numbers of the tracks, the playing time
of each track and the total playing time of the disc.
The player always scans this first and stores it in its
memory in order, for instance, to provide informa
tion via the display.

warped. ’ERROR’ also lights up if you close an
empty tray.
Unloading
• Open the tray by pressing OPEN.
• Hold the disc in same way as when loading.
• Store the disc immediately in its holder. This
prevents soiling and damage.
• Close an empty tray by pushing it lightly.
Avoid leaving the tray open, to prevent dust from
entering.
_____________________________________

the first track number is shown.
> At the end of each track its number disappears
from the track number matrix and the number of
the next track appears under TRACK’.
) The display of the playing time starts again at
'O.’OO’after any preceding pause has been count
ed off.
> After the last track the disc stops.
The indication goes out.
The display shows the number of tracks and the
total playing time of the disc.
Importanti
If a disc with more than twenty tracks is played, the

The length of time for which you hold the key down
determines the search speed:
- the first three seconds relatively slowly;
- after approx, four seconds slightly faster;
- the highest speed is reached after approx, seven
seconds.
Atthefirsttwo speedsthe sound of the disc remains
audible, although accelerated. When searching by

soon as the sound disappears. If you have pressed
PAUSE before you started the search, you will hear
nothing.
As soon as you reach the beginning of the first
track, 'ERROR’lights up. Play will resume there as
soon as you release the key. If you reach the end of
the last track, ’ERROR’will also light up. if you then
release the key, play will resume a fev/ seconds

STORING A PROGRAMME
• Place the disc in the tray, but do nof close it yet!
• Press TRACK W until the first track number you
wish to programme appears under TRACK’.
> After the number appears a flashing dash.
• While the dash is flashing press PROGRAM.
> The dash will be replaced by ’P’(for Programme).

time, flashing will stop. You can then no longer store
the number: instead of the ’P’you will see ’ERROR’
light up - or the numbers already stored will appear
if you press PROGRAM too late. You can however
still store such a missed number by returning to it
from the previous or the following number.
For example:
On a disc you wish to listen to the numbers 7,3,9,
5,12 and 10 in that sequence.
• Place the disc in the tray, but do nof close it yet!
• Press TRACK W until ’7- appears under

• Store them by pressing PROGRAM after each
one.
> When the last number has been stored ’iOP’will
be shown continuously under ’TRACK’. On the
track number matrix you will read: ’3”5”7”9”10’

track is reached ’ERROR’lights up.
Once play has started the programme can no
longer be changed.
When STOP/CM is pressed orwhen all the tracks of
the programme have been played, the disc stops,

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
CARE OF THE DISCS
Although both sides of a disc are protected by a
special coating, it is still advisable to treat the discs
with care:
• Never leave discs lying around, put them back in
their holders immediately after use.
• Never write on the printed side!
• Do not attach any stickers on the disc.
• Keep the shiny surface of the disc clean. Use a
soft lint-free cloth and always wipe the disc in a
straight line from centre to edge. You may breath
lightly on the disc first.
The cleaning set SBC 3540, available separately, is
a useful accessory for cleaning your discs. It
contains a protective support, a special disc clean
ing cloth and a bottle of cleaning fluid.
Warning - Cleaning agents for conventional rec
ords are not suitable for cleaning a Compact Disc.
Nor may detergents or abrasive cleaning agents be
used.
PLAYER MAINTENANCE
A chamois leather slightly moistened with water is
sufficient for cleaning the player. Do not use clean
ing agents containing alcohol, spirits, ammonia or
abrasives.
The disc tray should be kept free of dust with a dry
cloth.

FAULTS AND THEIR LIKELY CAUSES
Insufficient familiarity with the combination of a new
product and new discs may lead to faults arising
during use. These are generally caused by simple
errors in operation or external factors.
It is perhaps useful to check the points listed below
and where possible remedy these before taking
your player for repair.
- The transit clamps have not been removed.
- Condensation has formed on the lens of the laser
due to a dramatic change in temperature. This will
disappear automatically after some time.
- There is a foreign object in the disc tray.
- The disc has not been inserted with the printed
side up or there is no disc in the tray.
- The disc is dirty, badly scratched or warped.
- The player has been connected to the PHONO
socket of the amplifier.
If the fault remains, try to clear it by switching the
player off and on.
If this also fails to help, do not continue experiment
ing, but remove the plug from the socket and
consult your dealer.
Certain faults may be caused by a disc. In order to
help determine the precise cause, take the disc with
which the fault occurred with you when you take the
player for repair.
Under no circumstances should you repair the
player yourself, as this will invalidate the guaran
tee!
