Welcome !

Thank you for buying this Philips Compact Disc Recorder.

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 Recordable/ReWritable Recorder, you
can record, play and erase your own high-quality audio CDs,
subject to legal restrictions on copying. Naturally, you will
also be able to play all pre-recorded audio CDs.

Note: In the United Kingdom and certain commonwealth

countries use of the Philips CD Recordable/Rewritable
recorder as shown or suggested in this user manual
may require the authorization of copyright holders.

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.

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

- CD-Audio ReWritable (CDRW) discs:
can be recorded, erased and re-recorded
hunderds of times. When finalized, they play
on CDRW compatible CD players and
recorders. In the course of 1999 most Philips CD players and
recorders will be CDRW compatible.

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).

If the CD recorder cannot read CDs correctly use a commonly
available cleaning CD to clean the lens before taking the CD
player to be repaired. Other cleaning methods may destroy
the lens. 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.
