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 sound and added to the pleasure of audio.

Compact-disc technology permits a high contrast in both
loud and soft passages,with perfect channel separation.

Philips has now further developed 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 to legal restrictions on copying.Naturally, you
will also be able to play all pre-recorded audio CDs.

Note:In certain countries,including the UK and certain
Commonwealth countries, use of the product (or CD Recorder)
as shown or suggested in this user manual may require the
permission of copyright holders.

Environmental information

All redundant packing material has been omitted.We ha ve
done our utmost to make the packaging easily separable into
three mono materials: cardboard (box),polystrene foam
(buffer) and polyeth ylene (bags,protective foam sheet).

Your set consists of materials which can be recycled if
disassembled by a specialized company.Please observe the
local regulations regarding the disposal of packing materials,
exhausted batteries and old equipment.

Discs for recording

For recording,make sure to use special audio discs only.
These discs are marked with “Digital Audio”and the logos
shown below.

There are two different types of audio discs for the use on
this CD recorder:

– CD-Audio Recordable (CDR) discs

These discs can be recorded on once and
play in all standard CD players and CD
recorders, when they are finalized.

– CD-Audio ReWritable (CDRW) discs

These discs can be recorded on,erased and
re-recorded many times and play in CDRW
compatible CD players and CD recorders,
when they are finalized.

– All Philips CD players and CD recorders

with the sticker shown here are CDRW
compatible.

To ensure proper working of the set we recommend the
use of Philips audio CDR and audio CDRW discs only.

Note:Do not use a computer CDR or CDRW as recording will
not work!

Recording is permissible insofar as copyright or other
rights of third parties are not infringed upon.

In certain countries including the UK and certain
Commonwealth countries, use of the product as
shown or suggested in this user manual may require
the permission of copyright holders.

Discs for playback

Your CD recorder is able to play:

- All pre-recorded audio CDs.

- All Audio CDR and Audio CDRW.

Note:CDR(W) discs containing audio recorded with a
computer can only be played when they are correctly treated
according the audio standard (IEC958:Consumer part). Single
session only!

Maintenance

For recording,it is very important to use discs that are free
of dust and scratches.

To clean a CD,wipe it in a straight
line from the center towards the
edge using a soft,lint-free cloth.A
cleaning agent may damage the
disc! Write only on the printed
side of a CDR or CDRW, 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).

Always keep the tray closed to avoid dust on the lens.

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

Connections at the back

1 Connection to mains
2 ANALOG IN

connects to the line (analog) output of an amplifier/receiver
or other analog source (tape deck,tuner etc.), so you can
record from this source (ANALOG).For recording from a
record player both recorder and record player should be
connected to an amplifier/receiver

3 ANALOG OUT

connects to the line (analog) input of an amplifier/receiver,
so you can listen to playback of this set via the
amplifier/receiver

4 DIGITAL IN

connects to the digital coaxial output of an external digital
source (CD player, DVD, DAT,etc.), so you can record from
this source (DIGITAL 1)

5 DIGITAL OUT

connects to the digital coaxial input of an amplifier/receiver,
so you can listen to playback of this set via the
amplifier/receiver

6 OPTICAL IN

connects to the digital optical output of an external digital
source (CD player, DVD, DAT,etc.), so you can record from
this source (OPTICAL)

Set up recommendations

- Place the CD recorder on a solid,vibration-free surface.

- Do not place the CD recorder near a source of heat or in
direct sunlight.

- Do not use the CD recorder under extremely damp
conditions.

- If the CD recorder is placed in a cabinet,make sure that a
one-inch space remains free on all sides of the CD
recorder/player for proper ventilation.

Important: Do not position the CD recorder on top
of other equipment that might heat it up
(e.g. receiver or amplifier).

Connections general

For recording the following inputs are present:

- Digital optical input (OPTICAL IN)

- Digital coaxial input (DIGITAL IN)

- Analog input (ANALOGIN)
For playback the following outputs are present:

- Digital coaxial output (DIGITAL OUT)

- Analog output (ANALOGOUT)
The connections you make will depend upon the

possibilities your audio equipment offers.Please refer to the
user manuals for your other audio equipment first.

Digital recordings (optical or coaxial) give the best
performance in audio and usability (e.g. auto-track increment).

We advise you to always establish both digital and analog
connections.This will mean that analog recordings can
always be made when digital recording is not possible.

We have described the most common ways of connecting
the CD recorder. If you still have difficulties with the
connections,please contact the Philips Consumer Service
desk in your area.

OUT-sockets on the set and the ANALOG input sockets of
the amplifier/receiver (TAPE IN, CD-R,AUX or PLAY IN).
Insert the red plugs into the R sockets,and the white plugs
into the L sockets.

2 Connect supplied audio cable between the ANALOG IN-

sockets on the set and the analog outputs of the
amplifier/receiver (CDR OUT,TAPE OUT,AUX OUT, REC
OUT etc.).
Insert the red plugs into the R sockets,and the white plugs
into the L sockets.

3 Connect all other components of your system (tape deck,

Introduction

You will soon discover how easy it is to make your own CDs.
Your recorder offers several recording modes.

RECORD DISC

- to make a synchronized recording of the complete disc
or a program simply by starting the source.

RECORD TRACK

- to make an synchronized recording of a single track
simply by starting the source.

REC(ord) MANUAL

- to manually start a recording simply by pressing the
RECORD key.

MAKE CD

- to make a synchronized recording of the complete disc
or a program simply by starting the source. Finalizing
will be done automatically (active for digital recordings).

For each recording purpose the most appropriate
recording mode is explained.Basically a recording session
consists of three steps:

- preparing (make all settings for your recording),

- recording (the actual recording starts) and

- finalizing your recording (making CDR(W) suitable for
playback on a standard cd-player).

Some remarks on recording

It is advisable to use a CDRW disc for your first try.

0 If the disc is a CDR disc and is already finalized,no

recording is possible.

0 If the disc is a CDRW disc and is already finalized,you must

unfinalize it first.

0 The recording procedure is the same for CDRs and

CDRWs.

0 CD text cannot be recorded from an external CD player.

(Text information is not available on the output of the
CD player.)

0 There must be at least 7 seconds of recording time left on

the disc, otherwise you will not be able to enter record
standby mode. DISC FULL will then show on the display.

0 If the display indicates COPY PROTECT no digital

recording can be made of the source material. Recording
will not start.

0 The Serial Copy Management System (SCMS) only allows

digital recording under specific conditions:

- This means that it is not possible to make a digital copy
from a digital copy.

- Analog recording is always possible!

- The number of recordings to be made from the original
is unlimited.

0 A maximum of 99 tracks can be recorded on a disc.

Minimum allowable track length is 4 seconds.

Important: Use only discs with CDR AUDIO only or
CDRW AUDIO only logo.Discs for use in a personal
computer’s CD-(re)writer cannot be used in an Audio
CD-recorder.

If you want to play the recorded CDR disc on a
regular CD player,it must be finalized.

Finalizing is a simple procedure,necessary to:

- be able to play recordings on a CD PLAYER,

- avoid further unwanted recordings on a disc,

- avoid erasure of tracks on a CDRW,

- write CD text on a CDR(W).

Finalized CDRW discs play only on CDRW
compatible CD players.
