Calling up other information on the display
Activating the fade-in and fade-out function
Searching for the loudest passage
Adjusting the sound level (CDC 926 only)
• Check that the type plate on the rear of your changer
indicates the correct power voltage.
• If your power supply voltage is different, consult your dealer
or a Philips Authorized Service Center.
Certain versions of this changer are equipped with a voltage
selector 5, which enables you to set the player to the correct
power supply voltage yourself. When changing the voltage
setting, it is also necessary to change the main fuse 4 to one of
the correct rating: T200 mA {slow blow fuse) for 110/127 V;
T80 mA (slow blow fuse) for 220 V - 230 V/ 230 V - 240 V.
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 high-power
amplifier/receiver, as such an amplifier/receiver gives off a
substantial amount of heat.
________________
CONNECTIONS
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 a cord with one phono plug on either end.
/Vever connect this jack to a non-digital input of an
amplifier/receiver, such as AUX, CD, TAPE, PHONO, etc!
ANALOG OUT
For the connection cord to the amplifier/receiver.
• Insert a red plug into the 'R' jack and the other plug into the
'L' jack.
• Insert the two other plugs into the corresponding jacks of
the CD or AUX input of your amplifier/receiver.
You can also use the TUNER or TAPE IN connection, but
neverthe PHONO input!
3 ESI BUS (Enhanced System Intelligence)
For connecting the equipment when you are incorporating
the changer in a HiFi system with an ESI BUS connection
(e.g. the PHILIPS 900 series) or its own remote control
system.
4 Power fuse holder (not all versions)
See 'POWER SUPPLY SETTING'.
5 Voltage selector (not all versions)
See 'POWER SUPPLY SETTING'.
CONNECTING HEADPHONES (CPC 926 only)
