© WARNING

All ICs and many other semiconductors are susceptible to
electrostatic discharges (ESD). Careless handling during
repair can reduce life drastically.
When repairing, make sure that you are connected with the
same potential as the mass of the set via a wristband with
resistance. Keep components and tools at this potential.

f ATTENTION

Tous les IC et beaucoup d´autres semi-conducteurs sont
sensibles aux décharges statiques (ESD). Leur longévite
pourrait être considérablement écourtée par le fait qu´aucune
précaution nést prise à leur manipulation.
Lors de réparations, s´assurer de bien être relié au même
potentiel que la masse de l´appareil et enfileer le bracelet
serti d´une résistance de sécurité.
Veiller à ce que les composants ainsi que les outils que l´on
utilise soient également à ce potentiel.

d WARNUNG

Alle ICs und viele andere Halbleiter sind empfindlich
gegenüber elektrostatischen Entladungen (ESD).
Unsorgfältige Behandlung im Reparaturfall kann die
Lebensdauer drastisch reduzieren.
Sorgen Sie dafür, daß Sie im Reparaturfall über ein Puls­armband mit Widerstand mit dem Massepotential des
Gerätes verbunden sind.
Halten Sie Bauteile und Hilfsmittel ebenfalls auf diesem
Potential.

ñ WAARSCHUWING

Alle IC´s en vele andere halfgeleiders zijn gevoelig voor
electrostatische ontladingen (ESD).
Onzorgvuldig behandelen tijdens reparatie kan de levensduur
drastisch doen vermindern. Zorg ervoor dat u tijdens reparatie
via een polsband met weerstand verbonden bent met hetzelfde
potentiaal als de massa van het apparaat.
Houd componenten en hulpmiddelen ook op ditzelfde potentiaal.

i AVVERTIMENTO

Tutti IC e parecchi semi-conduttori sono sensibili alle scariche
statiche (ESD).
La loro longevità potrebbe essere fortemente ridatta in caso di
non osservazione della più grande cauzione alla loro
manipolazione. Durante le riparationi occorre quindi essere
collegato allo stesso potenziale che quello della massa
delápparecchio tramite un braccialetto a resistenza.
Assicurarsi che i componenti e anche gli utensili con quali si
lavora siano anche a questo potenziale.

©

Safety regulations require that the set be restored to its
original condition and that parts which are identical with
those specified be used.

WARNINGS & SAFETY

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Welcome !

Thank you for buying this Philips Compact Disc Recorder / CD
Changer.

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/Changer, 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 Changer 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.

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.

All instructions in this manual are based on control via the
keys on the set. If there are corresponding keys available on
the remote control they can be used as well.

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 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.

As an

ENERGY STAR® partner,

Philips has determined that this product
meets the ENERGY STAR® guidelines for
energy efficiency.

– 2 Analog audio cables (with red and white plugs)
– 1 Digital coaxial cable(with black plugs)
– Mains cable
– 2 batteries for the remote control, size AA

GENERAL INFORMATION

English

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 properly!

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

Discs for playback

For playback on this CD changer and CD recorder you can use
following audio discs:

– All pre-recorded audio CDs

– All audio CDR and audio CDRW discs

Notes:
– Do not try to play a CD-ROM, CD-I or CDV!
– CDR(W) discs, which are recorded on a computer can only

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

6

Maintenance

Clean the set 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 set,
batteries or CDs to humidity, rain,
sand or excessive heat (caused by

Recordable

ReWritable

heating equipment or direct sunlight).

The lenses may cloud over when the set is suddenly moved
from cold to warm surroundings. Playing a CD(RW) is not
possible then. Leave the set in a warm environment until the
moisture evaporates.

CDR(W) handling

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

To take a CD(RW) out of its box
easily, press the centre spindle while
lifting the CD(RW). Always pick up a
CD(RW) by the edge and put it back
after use. Never write on a CD or
attach a sticker to it. Write only on
the printed side of a CDR or CDRW,
and only with a soft felt-tipped pen.

To clean a CD(RW), wipe it in a straight
line from the centre toward the edge
using a soft, lint-free cloth.
A cleaning agent may damage the disc!

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

1 For external recording, connect the cable 3 between the

DIGITAL IN-socket on the set and the DIGITAL OUT-socket
of an external CD player.

Note: Your set is equipped with a digital coaxial output (com-

mon output for CD recorder & CD changer deck). This
output can be used for digital playback. (e.g. Philips
receiver FR960 or FR970.)

This connection is 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 4 bet-

ween the digital optical input of the set and the digital­optical output of an external CD player.

Note: For playback, the digital coaxial outputs or analog out-

puts of the CD Changer and CD recorder should be
connected to an amplifier.

BRIEF OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

English

For playback on the CD recorder from the CD changer deck the
following outputs are present:
– Digital coaxial output (CD & CD-R)
– Analog output (CD & CD-R)
We advise you to connect these to the TAPE or CD-R input on
your amplifier.

For external recording the following inputs are present:
– Digital optical input
– Digital coaxial input
– Analog input (stereo)

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 set 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 set 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.

Analog connectionsConnections general

This connection must be made for playback on the CD recor­der deck as well as the CD changer deck (cable 2).
Cable 1is 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 external recording, connect cable 1 between the ANA-

LOG IN-sockets on the set and the CDR LINE- or TAPE OUT­sockets of an amplifier.

Note: For recording directly from a CD player or tape deck, the

analog input of the set should be connected to the ana­log output of the CD player or tape deck.

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

sockets on the set and the input sockets of an amplifier e.g.
TAPE IN, CD-R or AUX.

Note: Never use the PHONO input.

BRIEF OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

English

We will describe:
– Digital recording from internal CDC (fast or normal

recording).

– Recording from external CD player:

– Digital
– Digital (synchronized start with external CD player)
– Analog

– Finalizing discs:

Finalizing a CDR(W) disc is a simple procedure, necessary to:

– play a recorded CDR on a standard CD player
– play a recorded CDRW on a CDRW compatible CD player

• The recording procedure is the same for CDR and CDRW discs.

Make sure that the CDR(W) is absolutely free of
scratches and dust particles.

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

• 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.

• For recordings, the minimum track length is 4 seconds. You can
record up to a maximum of 99 tracks on a disc. The minimum of
recording time left on the disc is 7 seconds. Else, NOT
FITTING is displayed and you cannot enter into the record
standby mode.

• When you try to record a copy protected material from an
external source, COPY PROTECT will be displayed. No
further digital recording is possible then.

• 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

– Analog recording is always possible !
– The number of recordings from the original is unlimited.

• 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 external CD changers do not use

Direct Line Recording (DLR)Basic information

The CD recorder is equipped with the high-performance Direct
Line Recording technique. It ensures a perfect recording of the

source material, meaning a true “bit for bit” recording. DLR will
always become active, when you make normal recordings in listen
mode.

Auto Level Control (ALC)

Auto Level Control ensures that the tracks on the recorded disc

have a similar volume level. Always the already recorded tracks of
the CDR(W) disc will be taken as reference for the volume level of
the following recordings. ALC is active, when

When making recordings from an external source, we
recommend to do analog recording only if digital recording is
not possible. Digital recording will usually result in better
sound quality.

For external recording you can choose following recording
modes:
–

AUX CD

- to make an automatic recording of an external

source simply by starting the source.

–

AUX TRACK

- to make an automatic recording of a single

track from an external source simply by starting the source.

–

AUX MANUAL

- to start a manual recording from an

external source.

–

AUX MIX MIC

- to start a mixed recording of microphone

and external source input.

–

MIC ONLY

- manual start of microphone recording.

In recording mode tracks will be incremented automatically
such that the track numbers are positioned on the same
position as the original.

•Press as often as necessary TRACK INCREMENT on the
remote control during stop when CDR is selected to switch
the automatic track increment function on.
➜ AUTO TR ON is displayed and the function is

switched on. Track increments are now automatically
detected from digital source material. In analog source
material a silence of 2.7 seconds or more is detected as
a track increment.

•Press as often as necessary TRACK INCREMENT on the
remote control during stop when CDR is selected to switch
the automatic track increment function off.
➜ AUTO TR OFF is displayed and the function is

switched off. Track numbers can now be incremented
manually by pressing TRACK INCREMENT on the remote
control during recording. The minimum track length is 4
seconds.

Notes:
– Track numbers cannot be changed after recording.
– The automatic track increment only works with consumer

sources with a digital output signal according to the IEC
958 (consumer part) audio standard. DAT, DVD and DCC do
not deliver this signal.
