Welcome !

Thank you for buying this Philips Compact Disc Recorder /
Player Double Deck.

In the eighties Philips invented a new audio system - the CD.
The CD (compact disc) revealed to you the new dimensions of
digital sounds and added to the pleasures of audio.
Compact disc technology permits a high contrast in loud as
well as in quiet passages, with perfect channel separation.
Philips has now further developed compact disc technology
and the result is the CD recorder.

With your Philips CD recorder/player, you can make your own
high-quality audio CDs (subject only to legal restrictions on
copying), either by recording at normal or high speed from the
Player to the Recorder, or by recording from an external
source. And naturally, you can also play all pre-recorded audio
CDs, using one or both decks individually, or together as a 2­deck changer.

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.

This manual gives instructions for operating this CD recorder
where:

- the figures (1) throughout the text indicate a sequence of
actions necessary to perform a certain operation;

- the arrows (➜) indicate the reaction from the recorder;

- the dots (•) indicate remarks, advice or special options
within a sequence of actions. The dot-marked instructions
are not necessary for the required operation.

Subject to modification without notice.

About this manual

GENERAL INFORMATION

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!

Your recorder uses two types of discs for recording purposes:

- CD-Audio Recordable (CDR) discs:

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

- CD-Audio ReWritable (CDRW) discs:

can be recorded, erased and re-recorded
hunderds of times. When finalized, they
play on CDRW compatible CD
players and recorders. In the course of
1999 most Philips CD players and recorders will be CDRW
compatible.

Important:

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

Your CD recorder is able to play:

- All pre-recorded audio CDs.

- All Audio CDR and Audio CDRW.

Note: CDR(W) discs recorded with a computer can only be

used when they are correctly treated according the
audio standard (IEC958: Consumer part). Single session
only!

For recording it is very important to use dust and scratch free
discs.

To clean a CD, wipe it in a straight
line from the center toward 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 lenses may cloud over when the CD recorder is suddenly
moved from cold to warm surroundings. It is not possible to
play a CD then. Leave the CD recorder in a warm environment
until the moisture evaporates.

For playback on the CD recorder (and/or CD player deck) the
following outputs are present:

- Digital coaxial output (CD & CDR);

- Analog output (CD & CDR).
We advise you to connect these to the TAPE or CDR input on
your amplifier.

For external recording the following inputs are present:

- Digital optical input;

- Digital coaxial input;

- Analog input.

For playback of CD player deck separately (DJ mode) from the
CD recorder the following outputs are present:

- Digital coaxial output (CD);

- Analog output (CD).
We advise you to connect these to the CD input on your
amplifier.

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).

(The digital optical connection is less sensitive to external
disturbances).
If your equipment does not offer digital connections, the high
quality Analog-Digital-Convertor of your CD recorder will
ensure very good audio performance when recordings are
made from the analog 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-Analog-Convertor of the CD recorder ensures a
very good sound quality via the analog output.

We advise you to always establish both digital and analog
connections. In this way you can always make analog
recordings 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
you can always contact the Philips Consumer Service desk in
your country.

This connection must be made for playback on the CD
recorder deck as well as the CD player deck (cable 2).
Cable 1 is only required if you want to make recordings from
an external analog source.

Use the audio cables supplied. Connect the red plugs to the
R sockets, and the white plugs to the L sockets.

1 For recording, connect cable 1 between the ANALOG IN-

sockets on the CD recorder and the CDR LINE- or TAPE OUT­sockets of an amplifier.

Note: For recording directly from a CD player, the analog

input of the CD recorder should be connected to the
analog output of the CD player.

2 For playback, connect cable 2 between the ANALOG OUT-

sockets on the CD recorder and the input sockets of an
amplifier e.g. TAPE IN, CDR or AUX.

Note: Never use the PHONO input.

This connection is only required if you want to playback on
the CD player deck seperately from the CD recorder deck. This
will be the case in DJ-mode.

1 For separate playback on the CD player deck, connect a

third cable 3 (not supplied) between the ANALOG OUT
sockets of the CD recorder and the input sockets of an
amplifier e.g. CD, or AUX.
(Connect the red plugs to the R sockets, and the white plugs
to the L socket.)

Note:

- Never use the PHONO input.

- Your CD recorder/player is equipped with a digital coaxial
output for the CD player deck. This output can be used for
digital playback.

This connection is only required if you want to make
recordings from an external CD player with a digital coaxial
output.

Use the digital coaxial cable supplied.

1 For external recording, connect the cable 4 between the

DIGITAL IN-socket on the CD recorder and the DIGITAL OUT­socket of an external CD player.

Note: Your CD recorder is equipped with a digital coaxial

output (common output for CD recorder & CD player
deck). This output can be used for digital playback.

This connection is only required if you want to make
recordings from an external CD player with a digital optical
output.

When connecting the Digital
Optical cable, make sure it
is fully inserted until
there is a click.

1 Remove the dust caps from the digital optical connection.

(We recommend you save the cap.)

2 For external recording, connect a fibre-optic cable 5

between the digital optical input of the CD recorder and the
digital-optical output of an external CD player.

Note: For playback, the digital coaxial outputs or analog

outputs of the CD Player and CD recorder should be
connected to an amplifier.

1 Plug the power cord supplied into the MAINS connector on

the CD recorder, then into a mains socket.

2 Press ON/OFF.

➜The CD recorder will switch on.

Note:

- If the CD recorder is in Standby mode (red led on), press any
key to activate the recorder.

- The CD recorder will automatically adjust to the local mains
voltage.

- When the CD recorder is in the ‘OFF’ position, it is still
consuming some power. If you wish to disconnect your
player completely from the mains, withdraw the plug from
the AC outlet.

- 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

You will soon discover how easy it is to make your own CDs.
Nevertheless, it is advisable to use a CDRW disc for your first
try.
We will describe:

- Recording from internal CD player deck: high speed or
listen mode.

- Recording from an external CD player deck: syncronized
start with CD player or manual start. (analog or digital).

•If the disc is a CDRW and is already finalized you must
unfinalize it first.

•The recording procedure is the same for CDRs and
CDRWs.

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

•CD text can be added to a recording in Stop mode and
during recording.

•CD text can not be recorded from an external CD player.
(Text information is not available on the output of the CD
player.)

•The CD recorder deck is able to record CD text from the
internal CD player deck. (If not subjected to copy
protection.) This may take up to 2 minutes.

•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. DOES NOT FIT then lights up.

•If the display indicates COPY PROTECT, no digital
recording can be made of the source material. Recording
will not start.

•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 from the original is unlimited.

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

•Recordings from DAT or DCC players will not always stop
automatically.

Important:

If you want to play the recorded CDR disc on any
regular CD player, it must first be finalized. See
finalizing discs.

Finalized CDRW discs play only on CDRW compatible
CD players.

For recording from CD changers always use REC EXT
DISC.

Your recorder offers several recording modes.

For recording from internal CD-deck:

-

RECORD FAST

(high speed digital recording) - fast recording

of a disc or programmed tracks.

-

REC LISTEN

(normal speed digital recording) - listening to a

recording while making it.

-

MAKE CD

(high speed digital recording and auto-finalize) ­fast recording of a disc or programmed tracks. Recording
will be finalized automatically.

Warning: No more recording possible after finalizing CDR

disc!

For recording from external sources:

-

REC EXT DISC

(automatic start of recording) - to make an
automatic recording of an external source simply by starting
the source.

-

REC EXT MAN

(manual start of recording) - to start a manual

recording from an external source.

Some remarks on recording:

- During high speed recording, the original recording quality
will be maintained.

- When Auto track is on (default setting), track numbers will
automatically be increased during recording.

- By programming tracks first, a compilation can be recorded.

- If a finalized CD recordable disc is inserted in the CD
recorder, FINALIZED CD will be displayed when REC
TYPE is pressed. Recording is not possible.

- If a finalized CD rewritable disc is inserted in the CD
recorder, UNFINALIZE and PRESS ENTER will be
displayed when the REC TYPE is pressed. If ENTER is
pressed, the disc will be unfinalized.

Note: If during recording ANALOG REC appears, the track

will be recorded as analog, at normal speed. All other
tracks will be copied normally (at double speed).

During finalizing the Table of Contents (TOC) is written to the
disc.

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).

Auto finalizing

Auto finalizing is possible when using the MAKE CD recording
function.

Manual finalizing

1 Make sure the disc (in the CD recorder deck) is absolutely

free of scratches and dust particles.

2 With the recorder stopped press FINALIZE.

➜ The display shows FINALIZE CD and PRESS

RECORD.

3 Press RECORD.

➜ XX XX FINAL and the approximate finalization time

appears on the display.
The display counts down through the finalization.
On completion, the total number of tracks and the total
time recorded appears on the display.
For CDR(W), rchanges to don display.

Finalizing will take at least 2 - 4 minutes.

Note:

- During finalization, the CD recorder accepts no operating
commands.

- When a CDR is finalized no more recordings can be added.

For CDRW discs only.

If you want to make more recordings (or erasures of tracks) on a
finalized disc you must unfinalize it first. The Table of Contents
(TOC) will be removed. (This is not possible for CDR discs.)
To unfinalize:

1 With the CD recorder stopped, press REC TYPE or ERASE.

➜ UNFINALIZE and PRESS ENTER will appear on

the display.

2 Press JOG (ENTER).

➜ The disc will now be unfinalized and can be recorded on

again and the Recording or Erasure mode is entered.

3 You can now start recording or erasing. If no further

recording or erasure is required press STOP 9.

Note:

- Unfinalizing will take approximately 1 minute 30 seconds.

- When unfinalizing a CDRW disc with text on it available,
this text will be transferred to the CD recorder memory. It
may occur that the text memory is full. The message
MEMORY FULL/FINALIZE CD will be displayed.
To empty the recorders text memory you have to erase text
from it. This can be done in two ways:

1) Finalize one or more unfinalized discs for wich CD text is
available.

2) Delete text of unfinalized discs with the ‘memory view’
option in the Menu mode.
