Thank you for selecting the Philips CDC 775
Compact Disc Changer.
A Compact Disc Changer of the state-of-the-art Philips
700 series, the CDC 775 combines supreme playback
quality with a high degree of user-friendliness by
offering the following possibilities:
– able to play CD-RW disc;
– changing CDs during play;
– quick access to a particular CD by means of QUICK
PLAY;
– storing 40 tracks from different CDs in any desired
order in the changer memory;
– storing the required recording time and playing time
in the EDIT mode.
Power Supply Setting
• 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.
Siting the Compact Disc Changer
Free standing
• Always position the changer horizontally on a flat,
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 at the bottom or at the
top.
• Never position the changer directly on top of a highpower amplifier, as such an amplifier gives off a
substantial amount of heat.

Connections
1 Digital Out
This output supplies digital signal and can therefore
only be connected to an input which is suitable for
this signal. Use here a lead with one cinch plug on
either end.
Never 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!
Connecting Headphones
• Connect headphones with a 6.3 mm jack plug to the
PHONES socket.
• The sound level is adjusted with the LEVEL control.
Note:
– The volume control on the remote control must not be
at the minimum level.
