Thank you for selecting the Philips CD 931 Compact
Disc Player.

A Compact Disc Player of the state-of-the-art Philips 900
series, the CD 931 combines supreme playback quality with
a high degree of user-friendliness.

UNPACKING

With this player are supplied:

- a connection cable {ANALOG OUT);

- a remote control;

- batteries for the remote control;

- a cinch lead (DIGITAL OUT).

• Remove all packaging materials from the player and the
accessories.

POWER SUPPLY SETTING

• 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.

Certain versions of this player are equipped with a voltage
selector (4), which enables you to set the player to the correct
mains voltage yourself. When changing the voltage setting, it is
also necessary to change the mains fuse (5) to one of the
correct rating: T200 mA (slow blow fuse) for 110/127 V;
T100 mA (slow blow fuse) for 220 V - 230 V/ 230 V - 240 V.

FITTING A MAINS PLUG (U.K. only)

This apparatus is fitted with an approved moulded 13 Amp plug.
To change a fuse in this type of plug proceed as follows:

• Remove fuse cover and fuse.

• Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 5A, A.S.T.A. or
BSI approved type.

• Refit the fuse cover.
If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should

be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place.

If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should have a value of 5A.
If a plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the distribution board

should not be greater than 5A.

NOTE: The severed plug must be disposed to avoid a possible

shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13A socket elsewhere.

HOW TO CONNECT A PLUG

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the
following code: BLUE - 'NEUTRAL' ('N') BROWN - 'LIVE' CL')
As these colours may not correspond with the colour markings

identifying the terminals in your plúg, proceed as follows:

• The BLUE wire must be connected to the terminal which is
marked with the letter 'N' or coloured BLACK.

• The BROWN wire must be connected to the terminal which
is marked with the letter 'L' or coloured RED.

• Do not connect either wires to the earth terminal in the plug
which is marked by the letter 'E' or by the safety earth
symbol or coloured green or green-and-yellow.

Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord
grip is clamped over the sheath of the lead - not simply over
the two wires.

CONNECTIONS

1 DIGITAL OUT

This output supplies a digital signal and can therefore only
be connected to an input which is suitable for this signal.

Use here the cinch lead supplied.
A/ever connect this socket to a non-digital input of an
amplifier, such as AUX, CD, TAPE, PHONO, etc!

2 ANALOG OUT

For the connecting cable to the amplifier.

• Insert a red plug into the 'R' socket and the other plug into
the 'L' socket.

• Insert the two other plugs into the corresponding sockets of
the CD or AUX input of your amplifier.
You can also use the TUNER or TAPE IN connection, but
never the PHONO input!

3 ESI BUS (Enhanced System Intelligence)

For connecting up the equipment when you are incorporating
the player in a HiFi system with ESI BUS connection (e.g. the
PHILIPS 900 series).
When connecting the ESI BUS to the ESI BUS of the HiFi
system the CD player should be switched off.

4 Voltage selector (not all versions)

See 'Power supply setting'.

5 Mains fuse holder (not all versions)

See 'Power supply setting'.

MAINTENANCE

The CDs

• Never write on the printed side of a CD.

• Do not attach any stickers to the CD.

• 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.

• Never use cleaning agents for conventional records.

• Detergents or abrasive cleaning agents should not be used
either.

The player

• A chamois leather slightly moistened with water is sufficient
for cleaning the player.

• Do not use cleaning agents containing alcohol, spirits,
ammonia or abrasives.

FAULTS AND THEIR LIKELY CAUSES

If a fault occurs, run through the points listed below before

taking your player for repair. Check whether:

- condensation has formed on the lens of the laser due to a
dramatic change in temperature; this will disappear
automatically after some time;

- the CD has been inserted correctly with the printed side up
and that there is a CD in the compartment;

- the CD is dirty, badly scratched or warped;

- the player has been connected to the PHONO socket of the
amplifier;

- the sound level of the CD player has been set at normal

level. See 'ADJUSTING THE SOUND LEVEL' to change the

setting.

If the fault remains, try to clear it by switching the player off

and on again.

If this also fails to help, consult your dealer.
