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.

INSTALLATION
UNPACKING
The following accessories are supplied with this
Compact Disc changer:
- a power supply lead;
- a connecting cable;
- a remote control;
- batteries forthe remote control;
- a cartridge for six Compact Discs.
• Remove all packaging materials from the chang
er and the accessories.
• Peel the transparent protective foil off the display.
CHECKING THE POWER SUPPLY
• Check that the type plate on the rear of your
changer indicates the correct supply voltage.
• If your mains supply voltage is different, consult
your dealer or our Service Organisation.
REMOVING THE TRANSIT CLAMPS (Fig. 1-2)
The three red transit clamps on the bottom lock the
play mechanism to protect it during transportation.
• Turn the changer upside down.
• Turn the clamps anti-clockwise and remove them
from the changer.
• Store them in the recesses provided on the back
of the changer.
If you want to transport the changer, reinsert the
clamps 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 type R03.
UM4 or AAA.
SITING THE COMPACT DISC CHANGER
Free-standing
• Always position the changer horizontally on aflat,
firm surface.
• Allow a free space of at least 3 cm above the
changer so as not to interfere with the cooling of
the changer.
In an audio rack
• The changer can be sited in any desired position.
Stacked
• Site the changer preferably atf he bottom or at the
top.
• Never position the changer directly on top of a
high-power amplifier, because such an amplifier
gives off a substantial amount of heat.
Warning!
Never allow the changertostandforlong periods in
direct sunlight or near any heat source.
CONNECTIONS (Fig. 4)
a RC5IN/OUT: for a remote control system.
Use this connection for:
- Connecting up the equipment when you are
incorporating the changer in a PHILIPS HiFisystem with its own remote control system.
- Connecting the remote control receiver EM 2200.
available as an accessory, if the siting of the
changer prevents its REMOTE CONTROL eye
from receiving the signals from the remote
control directly.
b LINE OUT L/R: for the connecting cable to the
amplifier.
• 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 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 MAINS: connection forthe mains lead.

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.
ATTACHING THE STICKERS TO THE CARTRIDGE
(fig. 13-14)
The stickers can be used for:
- Noting disc titles, names of artists etc. on the
storage case (’A’ and 'C') and the cartridge itself
CB’ and ’C’).
- Numbering, alphabetising and classifying differ
ent cartridges (’D’, 'E', ’F’ and 'G').
• Attach the stickers at the places indicated.
Should you attach them elsewhere this may hamper
the functioning of the changer or the cartridge.
Do not place stickers on top of each other.
Only the stickers 'D', ’E’, 'F' and ’G’ can be placed on
top of the 'C stickers.
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 accesory 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 records are not
suitable for cleaning a Compact Disc. Nor may
detergents or abrasive cleaning agents be used.
CHANGER MAINTENANCE
A chamois leather slightly moistened with water is
sufficient for cleaning the changer. Do not use
cleaning agents containing alcohol, spirits, ammo
nia or abrasives.
The disc trays should be kept free of dust with a dry
cloth.

FAULTS AND THEIR LIKELY CAUSES
Insufficientfamiliarity 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 checkthe points listed below
and where possible remedy these before taking
your changer 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 facing downwards or there is no disc in the
tray.
- The disc is dirty, badly scratched or warped.
- The changer has been connected to the PHONO
input of the amplifier.
If the fault remains, try to clear it by switching the
changer off and on.
If this also fails to help, do not continue experiment
ing, but remove the mains plug from the wall 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
changer for repair.
Under no circumstances shouid you repair the
changer yourself, as this will invalidate the guar
antee!
