Supplied accessories

– 2 analog audio cables (with red and white plugs) – Remote control – 2 batteries for the remote control, size AA – Power cable

Maintenance

Clean the unit 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 unit, batteries or discs to humidity, rain, sand or excessive heat (caused by heating equipment or direct sunlight).

Disc handling

If the CD player/recorder fails to read discs correctly, use a commonly available cleaning CD to clean the lenses before submitting the unit to repair. Other cleaning methods may destroy the lenses.Always keep the trays closed to avoid dust on the lenses.

The lenses may cloud over when the unit is suddenly moved from cold to warm surroundings. Playing a disc is not possible then. Leave the unit in a warm environment until the moisture evaporates.

To take a disc out of its box easily, press the center spindle while lifting the CD(RW).Always pick up a CD(RW) by the edge and put it back in its box 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 disc, 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!

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 can be recorded on once and played on all standard CD players and CD recorders, when ﬁnalized.

– CD-Audio ReWritable (CDRW)

discs can be recorded on, erased and re-recorded many times and played on CDRW compatible CD players and CD recorders, when ﬁnalized.

All Philips CD players and CD recorders with this sticker are CDRW compatible.

To ensure proper working of the unit 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 some countries the use of the CD player/recorder as shown or suggested in this user manual may require the authorization of copyright holders.

Discs for playback

For playback on this CD player/recorder you can use the following discs: – All pre-recorded audio CDs – All audio CDR and audio CDRW discs – MP3-CDs (CD-ROMs with MP3 tracks)

Some words about MP3

The revolutionary new music compression technology MP3 (MPEG ! Audio Layer-3) enables shrinking down of original digital audio sound data with a factor of up to 10 without losing signiﬁcant sound quality.This allows you to record up to 10 hours of CD-like quality music on a single CD-ROM.

Making your own MP3-CD

Basically there are two sources for MP3 music on CD.You can either transfer music from your own digital audio CDs via CD-ROM drive onto your PC and encode it into MP3 format (“rip”) or download legal MP3 music from the Internet.

Record (“burn”) the music from your hard disc on CD-ROM with your home PC (make sure ﬁlename ends with .mp3). Once ﬁnished, you can play your MP3-CD on this CD player/recorder and enjoy the music.

Data rate

The data rate is of great importance with MP3. It indicates how fast bits are transfered.

Stereo music on a CD shows a data rate of about 1400 kilobits per second (kbps). To achieve a good MP3 quality a bit rate of 128 kbps is recommended. As the encoding rate is user-selectable, make sure to reach this data rate for MP3 as recordings less than 128 kbps will suffer from a degradation in sound quality.

Recording

Downloading MP3 ﬁles from the Internet or ripping songs from your own digital audio CDs is a delicate process, also inﬂuenced by the quality of the encoder program and the speed of your PC.This may sometimes result in “drop-outs” or errors which you may experience while listening to your MP3-CD.

In any case make sure to use a recording speed not faster than indicated on the CD-ROM and avoid running other programs simultaneously on your PC during the recording process.

In compliance with the SDMI (Secure Digital Music Initiative) the digital outputs of this unit will be deactivated when playing an MP3-CD.

It is not possible to “burn” an MP3-CD on this CD player/recorder.

It is not possible to record from an MP3-CD.

Supported formats

The following formats are supported on this CD player/recorder: – Disc format: ISO 9660 or Joliet – File format: MPEG ! Audio Layer-3 – Filename: .mp3 (tracks), .m3u or .pls (playlists) – Bit rate: 32–320 kbps (128 kbps advised) or variable

bit rate

Use ISO 9660 disc format when burning the MP3-CD.

UDF disc format (e.g.“DirectCD” or “WinOnCD”) is not supported.

Setup information

Place the unit on a ﬂat, hard and stable surface. Do not position the unit on top of other equipment that might heat it up (e.g. receiver or ampliﬁer).If the unit is placed in a cabinet, make sure to leave at least 3.5 cm (1.5 inches) free around the unit to prevent overheating.Active mobile phones near the unit may cause malfunctions.

Connections general

Never make or change connections with the power supply switched on.

For playback the following outputs are present: – Analog output (ANALOG OUT L/R) – Digital coaxial output (DIGITAL OUT) – Digital optical output (OPTICAL OUT)

For external recording the following inputs are present: – Analog input (ANALOG IN L/R) – Digital coaxial input (DIGITAL IN) – Digital optical input (OPTICAL IN)

These inputs can be connected to the corresponding output(s) of your ampliﬁer/receiver or directly to the corresponding output(s) of the external appliance.

It is not possible to connect a turntable directly to ANALOG IN L/R. If you wish to use a turntable with the unit, you have to connect an ampliﬁer/receiver to ANALOG IN L/R on the CD player/recorder.Then connect the turntable to the ampliﬁer.

The connections you make will depend upon the possibilities your audio equipment offers and how you are going to use the unit. Please refer to the user manuals for your audio equipment ﬁrst.

We recommend doing analog recording only if digital recording is not possible. Digital recording will result in better sound quality.

If possible, always make both digital and analog connections. In this way you can always make analog recordings when digital recording is not possible.

Basic information

The CD recorder deck offers you 3 main functions: – Recording from the internal CD player or from a

selected external source

– Finalizing your CDR(W) discs and unﬁnalizing your

CDRW discs

– Erasing a CDRW disc

The recording procedure is the same for CDR and CDRW discs. Make sure the CDR(W) is absolutely free of

scratches and dust particles.

For recordings, the minimum track length is 4 seconds.You can record up to a maximum of 99 tracks on a disc. If the recording time left on the disc is less than 7 seconds, DISC FULL is displayed and you cannot enter the recording mode.

The Serial Copy Management System (SCMS) prevents the making of a digital copy from a digital copy.The system allows making a digital recording from the original, however, in some countries this may require the authorization of copyright holders.

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

It is not possible to copy an MP3-CD.

Recording CD text

If the original CD has CD text, this text will be recorded automatically, provided that the CD text is not copy protected. In that case, recording of CD text will not be possible and TEXT PROTECT will be displayed.

What is ﬁnalizing?

Finalizing is a simple process that completes the recording of a CDR(W) necessary to: – play a recorded CDR on a standard CD player, – play a recorded CDRW on a CDRW compatible

CD player and CD recorder, – avoid unwanted recordings on a disc, or – avoid accidental erasure of tracks on a CDRW.

CDRs are “locked” once they are ﬁnalized. No other tracks or CD text can be added.

CDRWs are also “locked” once they are ﬁnalized, but can be unﬁnalized to permit additional recording or erasure.

Direct Line Recording (DLR)

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 not become active when the recording level is adjusted.

Adjusting the recording level

You can adjust the reference recording level for recordings from an additional appliance.This feature can be used for fading your recordings in or out.

1 Press INPUT repeatedly to select the input of the

additional appliance:
