Important notes for users in the U.K.

Mains plug

This apparatus is fitted with an approved moulded 13 Amp
plug.To change a fuse in this type of plug proceed as follows:

1 Remove fuse cover and fuse.

2 Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 5 Amp,A.S.T.A. or BSI

approved type.

3 Refit the fuse cover.

If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it
should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place.

If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should have a value of
5 Amp. If a plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the
distribution board should not be greater than 5 Amp.

Note:The severed plug must be disposed to avoid a possible
shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13 Amp socket else­where.

How to connect a plug

The wires in the mains lead are coloured with the following
code: blue = neutral (N), brown = live (L).

0 As these colours may not correspond with the colour

markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as fol­lows:

– Connect the blue wire to the terminal marked N or

coloured black.

– Connect the brown wire to the terminal marked L or

coloured red.

– Do not connect either wire to the earth terminal in the

plug, marked E (or e) or coloured green (or green and
yellow).

Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord
grip is clamped over the sheath of the lead - not simply over
the two wires.

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.

Environmental information

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

Your CD recorder 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.

CAUTION

Use of controls or adjustments or performance of
procedures other than herein may result in hazardous
radiation exposure or other unsafe operation.

About this manual

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 CD recorder 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.

Which connections do you need?

For playback on the CD recorder

(and/or CD player deck) the following outputs are present:

- Digital coaxial output (CD & CDR - DIGITAL OUT) 7;

- Analog output (CD & CDR - ANALOG OUT) 5.

We advise you to connect these to the TAPE or CDR input
on your amplifier.

For recording from internal player deck no
connections are needed.

For external recording the following inputs are present:

- Digital optical input (CDR - OPTICAL IN) 8;

- Digital coaxial input (CDR - DIGITALIN) 6;

- Analog input (CDR - ANALOG IN) 4.

For playback of CD player deck separately

(DJ mode) from the CD recorder the following outputs are
present:

- Digital coaxial output (CD) 3;

- Analog output (CD) 2.

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

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.

Explanation of connections

1 Connection to mains
2 ANALOG OUT CD

connects to the line (analog) input of an amplifier/receiver,
so you can listen to playback of the CD player deck via the
amplifier/receiver (only needed for separate playback of
CD player deck in DJ mode)

3 DIGITAL OUT CD

connects to the digital coaxial input of an amplifier/receiver,
so you can listen to playback of the CD player deck via the
amplifier/receiver (only needed for separate playback of
CD player deck in DJ mode)

4 ANALOG IN CDR

Note: It is not possible to connect a record player directly to the
CD recorder. Recordings can only be made from a record
player connected via amplifier or receiver.

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

5 ANALOG OUT CD & CDR

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

6 DIGITAL IN CDR

connects to the digital coaxial output of an external digital
source (CD player, DVD, DAT, etc.), so you can record from
this source (DIGITAL1)

7 DIGITAL OUT CD & CDR

connects to the digital coaxial input of an amplifier/receiver,
so you can listen to playback of the CDR or CD deck via
the amplifier/receiver

8 OPTICAL IN CDR

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

Tip:
If the integrated CD player deck will be the only
source from which you are going to record,just
connect the analog output for playback of the CD
recorder to your amplifier/receiver (cable 1).

Analog connections

These connections are required for playback on the CD
recorder deck as well as the CD player deck (cable 1). Cable 2
is required for making recordings from an external analogue
source (e.g. via amplifier: cassettedeck or turntable).

1 Connect supplied audio cable between the ANALOG

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

Digital optical connection

Instead of the digital coaxial connection you can make use of
the optical input.. Optical connections are less sensitive to
external disturbances.This connection is required for direct
recording from an external digital optical source (e.g. a CD
player, DVD, DAT).

1 Remove the dust caps from the digital optical connections

of both source and CD recorder. Keep the caps in a safe
place.

2 Connect an optical fibre-optic cable

between the OPTICAL IN socket of
the CD recorder and the OPTICAL
OUT socket of the source.
Make sure you insert both plugs
fully, until a click is heard.

➜ Recording can now be done via the digital optical input

(OPTICAL).

Digital coaxial connections via a digital receiver

If you have a receiver with digital coaxial in- and outputs, these
connections allow you to make digital recordings from various
sources, connected to the receiver.

1 Connect a digital coaxial cable between the DIGITAL IN-

and OUT sockets on the CD recorder and e.g. the (digital)
AUX in- and output sockets on the digital receiver.

➜ Any digital device, connected to the digital input sockets

of the digital receiver (e.g. CD and DVD) can now be
used as recording source.

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.

Power supply/Mains

1 Check whether the mains voltage as shown on the type

plate corresponds to your local mains voltage. If it does not,
consult your dealer or service organisation.

2 Make sure all connections have been made before

switching on the mains supply.

3 Plug the power cord supplied into the AC MAINS ~

connector and the CD recorder, then into the wall socket.

4 Press ON/OFF.

➜ The CD recorder will switch on.This may take a few

seconds.

Notes:

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

When the CD recorder is in the “OFF” position, it is still
consuming some power. If you wish to disconnect your CD
recorder completely from the mains, withdraw the plug from
the AC Outlet.

Introduction

You will soon discover how easy it is to make your own
CDs.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.

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
simply by pressing the RECORD key.

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.

General information on
recording

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

0 During high speed recording, the original recording quality

will be maintained.

0 When Auto track is on (default setting), track numbers will

automatically be increased during recording.

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

0 If a finalized CD recordable disc is inserted in the CD

recorder, FINALIZED CD will be displayed when REC
TYPE is pressed. Recording will not be possible.

0 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.

0 The recording procedure is the same for CDRs and

CDRWs.

0 The CD recorder deck is able to record CD text from the

internal CD player deck only. (If not subject to copy
protection)

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.

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).

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

Minimum allowable track length is 4 seconds.

0 For external recordings from CD changers always use REC

EXT DISC.

Recording from internal deck

Set the recording level, if necessary, to make compilations
from different discs with equalized volume levels.Pre­recorded CD’s often have different volume levels.When
playing back your compilation you could hear these
differences in volume between tracks.

Amplifying a of digital audio information stream will distort
the audio signal.This means that digital signals can only be
decreased in volume to obtain equal audio levels for
different tracks. Our advise is to record all tracks on -3dB
(or lower if needed). In this way it is possible to

- increase (0 dB is maximum) the volume level for
those tracks with a weaker signal,

- decrease (-3 dB or less) the volume level for those
tracks with a stronger signal.

For pre-listening you need to make a test recording with a
CDRW disc in the left disctray:

1 After pressing the REC TYPE key rotate the EASY

JOG/ENTER key to decrease the level (e.g. -3dB) for the
track(s) of the first disc.

2 Press RECORD to record a track.
3 Press STOP.
4 Listen to the track(s) of the next disc to determine the

recording level.

5 Press the REC TYPE key, rotate the EASY JOG/ENTER key

to increase/decrease the recording level and repeat step 2
and 3.

6 Judge the various recording levels from your test recording.

Now you are able to make a final recording and preset the
correct recording level of each individual track before you
record it.

7 Place the CDR(W) disc on which you want to make your

final recording.

Notes:

During recording it is possible to adjust the recording level

with the EASY JOG/ENTER key.

The adjusted recording level is stored in the memory of your

recorder (also when powered off!).

During RECORD FAST mode no sound and therefor no

adjustments are audible.

Recording from external source

Some external analog sources have such high output levels,
that you may need to adjust the recording level to ensure
good quality recordings without distortion.

1 Place an unfinalized CDR(W), absolutely free of scratches

and dust particles in the left CDR tray.

2 Press SOURCE repeatedly to select the ANALOG input

➜ ANALOG lights up and ANALOG will appear on the

display.

3 With the CD recorder stopped, press REC TYPE five times

to select REC EXT MAN.
➜ d starts to flash and the display shows

PRESS RECORD.

4 Start the source by pressing PLAY/PAUSE 2;.

DO NOT start recording!

5 Rotate the EASY JOG/ENTER key to decrease the record

level until, on the Record/Play Level bar,all the blue
segments are alight, but the red segments do not light
continuously during the loudest passages.

6 Press STOP 9 on the CD recorder and on the source.

➜ The adjusted recording level is stored in the memory

of your recorder (also when powered off!).

Note:The recording level can also be adjusted for digital or
optical recordings after selecting the DIGITAL 1 or
OPTICAL input.

Recording from LP’s or cassettes

Make sure that the turntable or cassette deck is connected
with its analog out connectors to the amplifier/receiver
which is connected to the analog in connectors of your
CD-recorder: connection is ANALOG.

Note: It is not possible to connect a turntable directly to the CD
recorder.

Track increments

0 For recordings from ‘noisy’ external analog sources like LP

or cassette tapes we strongly recommend to switch Auto
Track to OFF and insert track numbers manually.

0 Auto Track is default switched on. If you wish to switch

Auto Track off or on:

1 Press STORE/MENU.

➜ TEXT EDIT will appear on the display.

2 Rotate the EASY JOG/ENTER key to select the AUTO

TRACK submenu.
➜ AUTO TRACK will appear on the display.

3 Press EASY JOG/ENTER to confirm.

➜ ON or OFF will appear on the display.

4 Turn the EASY JOG/ENTER key to select Auto track ON or

OFF.

5 Press EASY JOG/ENTER to confirm.

➜ AUTO TRACK will appear on the display.

6 Press STOP 9 to exit.

During analog and digital recording, you can always insert
track numbers manually by pressing TRACK INCR. on the
remote control.The minimum track length is 4 sec.Track
numbers cannot be changed after recording.

Tip:
For the best recording results we advise you to first
make a recording onto a CDRW (rewritable) disc.
If for instance you forgot to add track increments or
made another mistake during recording this can
always be corrected.When your recording is complete
and correctly recorded:

- finalize the CDRW disc

- record this disc onto a CDR (recordable) disc, using
the ‘Make CD’function. (See paragraph ‘Recording
an entire CD’)

Preparing

1 Place an unfinalized CDR(W), absolutely free of scratches

and dust particles in the left CDR tray.

2 Press SOURCE repeatedly until ANALOG lights up and

ANALOG appears on the display.

3 With the CD recorder stopped press REC TYPE five times

to select REC EXT MAN.
➜ The display shows REC EXT MAN followed by WAIT.If

copied from the original.This will be done automatically for
digital sources. For analog recordings, the CD recorder can
detect silences (longer then 2.7 seconds) in the source
material and start a new track (Auto track increment).

Auto Track is however dependent on the quality of the
analog source material and will not always increase the
track number like on the original.

Auto Track is default switched on. If you wish to switch
Auto Track off or on:

➜ TEXT EDIT will appear on the display.

2 Rotate the EASY JOG/ENTER key to select the AUTO

TRACK submenu.

4 Turn the EASY JOG/ENTER key to select Auto track OFF

or ON.

5 Press EASY JOG/ENTER to confirm.

➜ AUTO TRACK will appear on the display.

During analog recording, you can always insert track
numbers manually by pressing TRACK INCR. on the remote
control. It is not possible to add track numbers manually
during digital recording.The minimum track length is 4 sec.
