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.

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.

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 finalised, these discs
play on all CD players and recorders.

- CD-Audio ReWritable (CDRW) discs:

can be recorded, erased and re-recorded
hundreds of times. When finalised, 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);

- Analogue 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;

- Analogue input.

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

- Digital coaxial output (CD);

- Analogue 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 Analogue-Digital-Convertor of your CD recorder will
ensure very good 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-Convertor of the CD recorder ensures
a very good sound quality via the analogue output.

We advise you to always establish both digital and analogue
connections. In this way you can always make analogue
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 analogue 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 analogue

input of the CD recorder should be connected to the
analogue 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 separately 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.

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: synchronised
start with CD player or manual start. (analogue or digital)

•If the disc is a CDRW and is already finalised you must
unfinalise 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.

- 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.
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 finalised. See
finalising discs.

Finalised 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-finalise) -
fast recording of a disc or programmed tracks. Recording
will be finalised automatically.

Warning: No more recording possible after finalising 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 finalised CD recordable disc is inserted in the CD
recorder, FINALIZED CD will be displayed when
RECORDING-TYPE is pressed. Recording is not possible.

- If a finalised CD rewritable disc is inserted in the CD
recorder, UNFINALIZE and PRESS ENTER will be
displayed when the RECORDING-TYPE is pressed. If ENTER
is pressed, the disc will be unfinalised.

Note: If during recording

ANALOG REC

appears, the track
will be recorded as analogue, at normal speed. All
other tracks will be copied normally (at double speed).

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

Finalising 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 finalising

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

Manual finalising
