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.

Recordable

ReWritable

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!

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

General information

Some words about MP3

The revolutionary new music compression technology MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer-3) enables to shrink down 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 create (“rip”) it from your own digital audio CDs

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 set 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 speed of your PC.This may sometimes result in “drop-outs” 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.

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

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

Supported formats

Following formats are supported on this CDR Mini Hi-Fi system:

Disc format: ISO 9660, Joliet or UDF v1.5

Filename: .mp3 (tracks), .m3u or .pls (playlists)

Bit rate: 32–320 kbps (128 kbps advised) or variable bit

rate

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 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.

Disc 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

2

CD(RW) by the edge and put it back

1

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!

2OPTICAL IN

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

3DIGITAL IN

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

4DIGITAL OUT

connects to the digital coaxial input of an amplifier/receiver or digital recording device, so you can listen to playback of this set

5ANALOG IN

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 (AUX ANALOG). For recording from a record player both recorder and record player should be connected to an amplifier/receiver

6ANALOG OUT

connects to the line (analog) input of an amplifier/receiver or analog recording device, so you can listen to playback of this set

Setup recommendations

Place the set on a solid, vibration free surface.

Make sure there is sufficient space around the set to prevent overheating.

Do not place the set near a source of heat or in direct sunlight.

Do not use the set under extremely damp conditions.

If the set is placed in a cabinet, make sure that a 2.5 cm space remains free on all sides of the CD recorder for proper ventilation.

Active mobile phones near to the set may cause malfunctions.

Place the set below your receiver.

Connections general

NEVER MAKE OR CHANGE CONNECTIONS WITH THE POWER SWITCHED ON

For playback on both recorder deck and changer deck the set should be connected to your amplifier/receiver. For this the following outputs are present:

Digital coaxial output (DIGITAL OUT);

Analog output (ANALOG OUT).

For external recording the following inputs are present:

Digital optical input (OPTICAL IN);

Digital coaxial input (DIGITAL IN);

Analog input (ANALOG 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 source. Record players cannot be connected directly to the set.

The connections you make will depend upon the possibilities your audio equipment offers and how you are going to use the set. 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.

If possible, always make both digital and analog connections. In this way you can always make analog recordings when digital

recording is not possible.
