Sound Enhancement
Split, High Performance Audio Converters 
This set is using separate high performance AnalogDigital and Digital-Analog converter s (Analog Devices 
AD1877 and AD1854) to deliver superior audio 
playback and recording quality. Actually, these are the 
same components that have been used in award 
winning Philips CDR950 Premium Audio CD 
Recorder . 
Direct Line Recording 
Direct Line Recording ensures perfect, digital copies of 
your CDs by switching off the internal sample rate 
converter (tr ue bit for bit recording). This means also 
the information on HDCDs and DTS-encoded CDs is 
preserved. 
Automatic Digital Record Level Control
Different CDs typically have different loudness levels.  
When making a compilation from the internal CD 
changer, the unit automatically equalises volume levels 
between CDs, so that unpleasant volume jumps 
during playback of the recorded CD are reduced.
Record Level Adjustment
The volume level from different external sources is 
not always the same. You can adjust the record level 
digitally to ensure optimal recordings, no matter what 
the source (analog or digital).
Convenience
2 x Speed Recording from CD with precision 
recording mechanism
Make your own CD in half of the normal listening time,  
while keeping bit-for-bit perfect quality. With Philips' 
unique Precision Recording Mechanism both digital 
audio information and additional information like track 
pointers are copied with 100% accuracy. This means that 
the copy is true 'clone' of the original so that no music 
gets lost as is the case with PC based CDR drives.
CD-Text
No more need to look-up the track you want to play or 
record in the CD inlay booklet, simply select the track by 
name from the display, direct from the disc. The display 
can show both artist and title for the entire album as 
well as individual tracks. With the CDR, you can also 
create your own CD Text information for e.g. your own 
compilations.
MP3-CD playback
You can download MP3 songs from the inter net on a 
PC and record them on a CD. This special "MP3-CD" 
can now be played on this Audio CD Recorder. One 
MP3-CD can carr y up to 12 hours of music (at 128 
kbps). This set is designed to playback MP3-CDs 
recorded with various quality levels (32 kbps to 320 
kbps or even variable bit-rates).
4 disc changer mode and large status matrix 
Our recorders are not only used for recording, but 
also for relaxed listening to music. The 4-disc changer 
mode uses all decks for CD playback or shuffle, to give 
you longer listening pleasure. The large status matrix 
displays play, stop, pause, etc., symbols, which are big 
enough to see from the comfort of your couch. 
Sample Rate Converter (12-96 kHz)
Some digital equipment will give audio signals with 
different sampling rates than the CD standard 
(44.1kHz). The built-in Sample Rate Converter 
automatically converts anything from 12-96kHz into 
44.1kHz, so you can record it on CD.
