Welcome !

Thank you for buying this Philips Compact Disc Recorder.

In the 1980s Philips invented a new audio system - the CD. The CD (compact disc) revealed the new dimensions of digital sounds and enhanced the pleasures of audio.

Compact disc technology permits a high contrast in both loud and quiet passages, with perfect channel separation. Philips has continued to develop compact disc technology and the result is the CD recorder.

With your Philips CD-Recordable/ReWritable Recorder, you can record, play and erase your own high-quality audio CDs, subject only to legal restrictions on copying.

Naturally, you will also be able to play all pre-recorded audio CDs, and combined CDs such as CD Extra.

Recordings may only be made for personal use. It is forbidden to copy material protected by copyright, including computer programs, films, television and audio recordings. This appliance may not be used for such applications.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Discs for recording

Maintenance

For recording use, special audio discs must be used (for music only). These Discs bear the logos as shown below. The text 'DIGITAL AUDIO' is present! Copyright fees have been paid on these discs in some countries.

With your recorder you can use two types of discs for recording purposes:

- CD-Audio Recordable (CD-R) discs:

Fully recorded and finalized, these discs play on all CD players and recorders.

	Recordable
- CD-Audio ReWritable (CD-RW) discs:
Can be recorded, erased and re-recorded
hundreds of times. When finalized, they play
on CD-RW compatible CD players and	ReWritable
recorders. In the course of 1999 most Philips

CD players and recorders will be CD-RW compatible.

Discs for playback

Your CD recorder is able to play:

-All prerecorded audio CDs, and combined CDs such as CD Extra.

-All Audio CD-R and Audio CD-RW.

Note: CD-R discs recorded with a computer can only be used when they are correctly treated according the audio standard (IEC958: Consumer part). Single session only!

It is extremely important that the discs used for recording are free of dust and scratches.

To clean a CD, wipe it in a straight line from the center towards the outer edge using a soft, lint-free cloth. Cleaning agents may damage the disc! Write only on the printed side of a CD-R or CD-RW, and only with a soft felt-tipped pen.

Clean the CD recorder with a soft, slightly dampened lint-free cloth. Do not use any cleaning agents as they may have a corrosive effect.

Do not expose the CD recorder, batteries or CDs to humidity, rain, sand or excessive heat (caused by heating equipment or direct sunlight).

If the CD recorder cannot read CDs correctly, use a cleaning CD to clean the lens before taking the CD player to be repaired. Other cleaning methods may destroy the lens. Always keep the tray closed to avoid dust on the lens.

The lenses may cloud over when the CD recorder is suddenly moved from cold to warm surroundings, making it temporarily impossible to play a CD. Leave the CD recorder in a warm environment until the moisture evaporates.

INSTALLATION

Connections general

Analogue connections

The CD recorder has the following recording inputs:

-Digital optical input

-Digital coaxial input

-Analogue input

The CD recorder has the following playback outputs:

-Digital coaxial output

-Analogue output

The connections to be made depend upon the possibilities your audio equipment offers. Please refer to the user manuals for your other audio equipment first.

Recordings made from a digital source (CD player) via the digital optical or digital coaxial connection will give the best performance in audio and usability (e.g. auto-track).

(The digital optical connection is less sensitive to external disturbances).

If your equipment does not offer digital connections, the high quality Analogue-Digital-Converter of your CD recorder will ensure high audio performance when recordings are made from the analogue input.

Playback via the digital coaxial output of the CD recorder gives the best audio performance. If your equipment does not offer digital connections the high quality Digital-Analogue- Converter of the CD recorder ensures a high sound quality via the analogue output.

We recommend that both digital and analogue connections be made, so that analogue recordings can be made when digital recording is not possible.

The most common ways of connecting the CD recorder are explained below. If you still have difficulties with the connections, feel free to contact the Philips Consumer Service desk in your country.

Remarks about recording

Digital recording - unsynchronized

You will soon discover how easy it is to make your own CDs. Nevertheless, we recommend that you use a CD-RW disc for your first try. The three ways to make recordings are described below:

-Digital unsynchronized

-Digital synchronized

-Analogue

• The recording procedure is the same for CD-Rs or CD-RWs.

SOURCE	DISPLAY
AUTO / MANUAL				TIME	CD SYNC	FINALIZE	CD	SYNCRO	STOP
										PLAY
					RECORD						PAUSE
	CDR	MINI CD	0	OVER		ERASE	RECORD
		RECORDER
					PAUSE				PREV	NEXT
POWER ON/OFF
								OPEN/CLOSE	RECORD LEVEL
									MIN	MAX

•If the disc is a CD-RW and is already finalized you must unfinalize it first (page 15).

•If the disc already contains recordings, the CD recorder will automatically search for the end of the last track, so that you can start recording from there.

•There must be at least 7 seconds of recording time left on the disc, or you will not be able to activate the record standby mode.

•If the display indicates COPY PROHIBIT, no digital recording can be made of the source material. Recording will not start or will stop after 4 seconds.

•The Serial Copy Management System (SCMS) only allows digital recording under specific conditions:

-It is not possible to make a digital copy from a digital copy.

-Analogue recording is always possible!

-The number of recordings from the original is unlimited.

•A maximum of 99 tracks can be recorded on a disc. The minimum allowable track length is 4 seconds.

•Digital recordings can be made from CDs (or other sources with an output Sample Frequency of 44.1 kHz +/- 100 ppm) via the digital input.

Important:

If you want to play the recorded CD-R disc on a regular CD player, it must be finalized first. See finalizing discs (p.15).

Finalized CD-RW discs play only on CD-RW compatible CD players.

Preparing for digital recording

1Make sure the disc is absolutely free of scratches and dust particles.

2Press Source repeatedly until (depending on the digital connection used):

DIG COAXIAL or DIG OPTICAL appears on the

display.

•AUTO: The track increments are automatically copied from the digital source material.

•MANUAL: Track numbers can be incremented manually by

pressing §. (minimum track length is 4 seconds).

(This can also be done in AUTO mode).

• Track numbers cannot be changed after recording.

Note: AUTO TRACK works only with Consumer Sources with a digital output signal according to the IEC 958 (consumer part) audio standard.

RECORDING

After recording the display will show UPDATE for several seconds.

Note:

-The CD recorder will not start until it recognizes a digital signal. Although the reaction time is less than 200 milliseconds, the very beginning of the music may sometimes not be recorded. If this happens, you can start the recording manually (see digital recordingunsynchronized).

-Recordings from DAT or DCC will only stop after 20 silence.

Finalizing CD-R & CD-RW discs

Finalizing is a simple procedure that is necessary in order to play the discs on a regular (non-recording) CD player.

Note: Finalizing prevents any further recording on a CD-R. A finalized CD-RW must be unfinalized to allow further recording or erasure of tracks.

1Make sure the disc is absolutely free of scratches and dust particles.

2With the recorder stopped press FINALIZE and then within 3 seconds press RECORD.

The display counts down through the finalization. On completion, the total number of tracks and the total time recorded will appear on the display.

For CD-R CD RECORDABLE will change to CD on the display. For CD-RW no change will be seen on the display.

Finalizing will last at least 2 minutes.

Note: During finalization, the CD recorder will not accept operating commands.

Unfinalizing CD-RW discs

For CD-RW discs only.

If you want to make more recordings (or to erase tracks) on a finalized disc you must unfinalize it first. The Table of Contents (TOC) on the disc will be removed.

To unfinalize:

1 Press ERASE twice.

On the display, TOC and ERASE will flash.
