INTRODUCTION
The Compact Disc system is a major step forward in the sphere of audio technology. By employing the most sophisticated digital and optical technologies. Compact Disc not only produces the ultimate in sound reproduction, it also offers unprecedented ease of operation, with rapid access to every track on the disc and the possibility of programming.
INSERTING AND REPLACING THE BATTERIES IN
THE REMOTE CONTROL (Rg. 3, CD 781 only)
• Open the battery compartment.
• Insert the two batteries according to the diagram in the compartment.
• Replace the cover.
The life of the batteries is around one year. Remove them when they are flat or when you are not intending to use the remote controi for some time. In this way you will prevent damage to the remote control by possible battery leakage.
For replacement only use batteries of the type R03, UM4 or AAA.
_____________________________
Remote control
The only difference between the Compact Disc
players CD 780 and CD 781 is that the former is
supplied withoutand the latter ivffftremote control. The CD 780 is however adapted for remote control. This allows it to be operated remotely if it is connect
ed to a PHILIPS HiFi-system with remote control, or
if use is made of the remote control receiver
EM 2200, available as an accessory, and one of the transmitters RC771, RC772or RC773.
In addition to its own remote control system, the
CD 781 also offers the possibility of remote control via a PHILIPS HiFi-system.

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.
REMOVING THE TRANSIT CLAMPS (Rg. 2) The two red transit clamps on the bottom lock the
play mechanism to protect it during transportation.
• Turn the player upside down.
• Turn the clamps anti-clockwise and remove them
from the player.
• Store them in the recesses provided.
If you wish to transport the player, reinsert the
clamps and rotate them clockwise until they lock in
position.
SITING THE COMPACT DISC PLAYER
Free-standing
• Aiways position the player horizontally on a flat, firm surface.
• Allow a free space of at least 3 cm above the playerso as notto interfere with the cooling ofthe 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 piayer directly on top of a high-power amplifier, as such an amplifier gives off a substantiai amount of heat.
Warning
Never ailow the player to stand for long periods in direct sunlight or near a heat source.
CONNECTIONS (Rg. 4) a RC5IN/OUT: for a remote control system.
Use this connection for;
- Connecting up the equipment when you are incorporating the player in a PHILIPS HiFi-system with remote control.
- Connecting the remote control receiver EM 2200.
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).
• Insertthe two other plugs into the corresponding sockets ofthe 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 Connection for the mains lead.

THE INDICATIONS ON THE DISPLAY (Fig. 6)
Each Compact Disc has, along with the music, a list of contents 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 information via the display.
> Light up when you switch the player on. > Flash during the scanning of the contents list of
the disc.

Remote control (CD 781 only)
The keys of the remote control have the same function as the corresponding ones on the player.
For the best reception of its signals you should aim
the remote control as directly as possible at the
REMOTE eye. The ’(((O’ indication lights up briefly
when this eye receives a command.
If the siting of the player does not allow direct reception of the signals, you may connect the EM 2200 as remote control receiver.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

LISTENING WITH HEADPHONES (PHONES)
Connect headphones with a 6.3 mm jack plug and
an impedance between 8 and 1000 ohms to the
PHONES socket. The sound level you hear is dependent on the
impedance of the headphones and the signal level
on the disc itself.
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 that side.
• 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.
Page 8
PLAYER MAINTENANCE A chamois leather slightly moistened with water is sufficient for cleaning the piayer. 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 laser duetoadramaticchangeintemperature.Thiswill disappear automatically after a 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!
Subject to modification This Compact Disc player complies with radio
interference requirements as laid down in EC regulations.
