13. Cleaning - The appliance should be cleaned only as recommended by the manufacturer.

14. Power Lines - An outdoor antenna should be located away from power lines.

15. Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna is connected to the receiver, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA No, 70-1984, provides information 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.

NOTE TO THE CATV SYSTEM INSTALLER:

This reminder is provided to oail the CATV system installer's attention to Article 820-22 of the NEC that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.

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.
