with respect to proper grounding of the mast and
supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in
wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of
grounding connectors, location of antenna-di
scharge unit, connection to grounding elec
trodes, and requirements for the grounding
electrode. See Rg. A
16. Nonuse Periods - The power cord of the appli
ance should be unplugged from the outlet when
left unused for a long period of time.
17. Object and Liquid Entry - Care should be taken
so that objects do not fall and liquids are not
spilled into the enclosure through openings.
18. Damage Requiring Service - The appliance
should be serviced by qualified service person
nel when:
A. The power-supply cord or the plug has been
damaged; or
B. Objects have fallen, or liquid has spilled into
the appliance; or
C. The appliance has been exposed to rain; or
□.The appliance does not appear to operate
normally or exhibits a marked change in
performance; or
E.The appliance has been dropped, or the
enclosure damaged.
19. Servicing -The user should not attempt to service
the appliance beyond that described in the
operating instructions. All other servicing should
be referred to qualified sen/ice personnel.

Operating Instructions
INTRODUCTION
The Compact Disc system is a major step forward in audio
technoiogy. By empioying the most sophisticated digitai and
opticai technologies, Compact Disc not only produces the ul
timate in sound reproduction, it also offers unprecedented ease
of operation, with rapid access to every track on the disc and the
possibility of programming._________________________________________________
INSTALLATION
PLACING THE COMPACT DISC PLAYER
Free-Standing
• Always position the player horizontally on a flat, firm surface.
• Allow a free space of at least 1V4" above the player so as not to
interfere with the cooling of the player.
In an audio rack
• The player can be placed in any desired position.
Stacked
• Place 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.
CHECKING THE POWER SUPPLY
The type plate on the back of your player indicates the power
voltage for which it is set.
Important!
Certain versions of this player are equipped with a voltage
selector (f), which enables you to set the player to the correct
voltage yourself. When changing the voltage setting from 220/
240 Vto 110/127 Vor vice versa, it is also necessary to change the
fuse to one of the correct rating.
Replacing the fuse
• Using a screwdriver, remove the fuse holder (g).
• Remove the old fuse and replace with a fuse of the correct
rating (300 mA for 110/127 V; 160 mA for 220/240 V).
• Replace the fuse holder.________________________________________________
REMOVING THE TRANSIT CLAMPS (Fig. 1-2)
The two red transit clamps on the bottom of the unit lock the play
mechanism to protect it during transportation.
• Turn the player upside down.
• Turn the clamps counter-clockwise and remove them from the
player.
• Store them in the recesses provided.
Replace the clamps if you wish to transport the player. To do this,
turn the player upside down, insert the clamps in the holes
provided and rotate them clockwise until they lock in position.
INSERTING AND REPLACING THE BATTERIES IN THE REMOTE
CONTROL (Fig. 3)
• 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 exhausted or when you are not intending to use the
remote control 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 AAA type.
* •
__________________________
Important!
Never allow the player to stand for long periods in direct sunlight
or near a heat source._____________________________________________________
CONNECTIONS (Fig. 4)
a Socket for the power cord
b DIGITAL OUTPUT COAX: for digital signal processing or future
applications such as CD-I. This output supplies a digital signal
and can therefore only be connected to an input which is
suitable for this signal. This cord will use one cinch plug on
either end.
Important!
Never connect this jack to a non-digital input of an amplifier,
such as AUX, CD, TAPE, PHONO, etc. This can damage the
amplifier and the speakers.
c REMOTE CONTROL OUT IN: for a remote control system.
Use these jacks for connecting up the equipment when you are
incorporating the player in a PHILIPS HiFi system with com
patible RC5 remote jacks and its own remote control system,
d DIGITAL OUTPUT OPTICAL: this output supplies a digital signal
via an optical path; for this reason it can only be connected to
a Digital Analog Converter, an amplifier with an optical digital
input or a digital sound processor. For this use the optical cord
supplied.
This output is covered with a little cap which should only be
removed when the output is in use.
e ANALOGUE OUTPUT FIXED: for connection to the amplifier.
• Insert a red plug into the ’R’ jack (right channel) and the other
plug into the ’L’ jack (left channel).
• Insert the two other plugs into the corresponding jacks of the
CD or AUX input of your amplifier.
You can also use the TUNER or TAPE IN connection, but never
the PHONO input. This is not suitable for Compact Disc
reproduction.
f VOLTAGE SELECTOR: see ’Checking the power supply’.
g FUSE HOLDER: see ’Replacing the fuse’.

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 center to
edge. You may breath lightly on the disc first.
The cleaning set SBC 3540 A01, available separately, is a useful
accessory for cleaning your discs. It contains a protective sup
port, a special disc cleaning cloth and a bottle of cleaning fluid.
If your local dealer does not carry the accessory, it may be
ordered direct from Philips Consumer Electronics Company.

SYMPTOMS 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 automati
cally after some time.
- There is a foreign object in the disc tray.
- The disc has not been inserted with the printed side up orthere
is no disc in the tray.
- The disc is dirty, badly scratched or warped.
- The player has been connected to the PHONO jack 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 experimenting, but remove
the plug from the outlet 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 guarantee!

suitable for cleaning a Compact Disc. Nor may detergents or
abrasive cleaning agents be used.
