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.

About this manual

GENERAL INFORMATION

English

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.

For recording the following inputs are present:

- Digital optical input.

- Digital coaxial input 1.

- Digital coaxial input 2.

- Analog input.

For playback the following outputs are present:

- Digital coaxial output.

- Digital optical output.

- Analog output. We advise you to connect these to the CD input on your amplifier.

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 CD recorder 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 CD recorder 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 connection is required for playback of CDs (use cable

2) and for recording from external analog sources (use cable 1).

Use the audio cables supplied. Connect the red plugs to the R sockets, and the white plugs to the L sockets.

1 For recording, connect cable 1 between the ANALOG IN-

sockets on the CD recorder and the CDR LINE- or TAPE OUTsockets of an amplifier.

Note: For recording directly from a CD player, the ANALOG IN

sockets of the CD recorder should be connected to the analog output of the CD player.

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

sockets on the CD recorder and the input sockets of an amplifier e.g. TAPE IN, CDR or AUX.

Note: Never use the PHONO input.

Digital coaxial connection is only required in case you wish to record from a CD player with a digital coaxial output.

Use the digital coaxial cable supplied.

1 For recording, connect the cable 3 between the DIGITAL

IN-1 socket on the CD recorder and the DIGITAL OUT-socket of a CD player.

•If required you can connect an extra digital device (e.g.a DAT or DCC recorder) to the DIGITAL IN 2 socket of the recorder.

Note: Your CD recorder is equipped with a digital coaxial

output (DIGITAL OUT). This output can be used for digital playback.

Digital optical connection is only required in case you wish to record from a 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 recording, connect a fibre-optic cable 4 between the

digital OPTICAL IN socket of the CD recorder and the digital-optical output of a CD player.

Note: Your CD recorder is equipped with a digital OPTICAL

output. This output can be used for digital playback.

You will soon discover how easy it is to make your own CDs. Nevertheless, it is advisable to use a CDRW disc for your first try.

• If the disc is a CDRW and is already finalized you must unfinalize it first.

• The recording procedure is the same for CDRs and CDRWs.

• 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.

• There must be at least 7 seconds of recording time left on the disc, otherwise you will not be able to enter record standby mode. DISC FULL then lights up.

• If the display indicates COPY PROTECT, no digital recording can be made of the source material. Recording will not start.

• 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 a digital copy.

- Analog recording is always possible !

- The number of recordings from the original is unlimited.

• A maximum of 99 tracks can be recorded on a disc. Minimum allowable track length is 4 seconds.

• 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 finalized. See finalising discs.

Finalized CDRW discs play only on CDRW compatible CD players.

For recording from CD changers do not use REC MANUAL.

Your recorder offers several recording modes.

RECORD DISC

- to make a synchronized recording of the

complete disc or a program simply by starting the source.

RECORD TRACK

- to make a synchronized recording of a

single track simply by starting the source.

REC(ord) MANUAL

- to manually start a recording simply by

pressing the RECORD key.

MAKE CD

- to make a synchronized recording of the complete disc or a program simply by starting the source. Finalising will be done automatically.

Some remarks on recording:

- When Auto track is ON (default setting), track numbers will automatically be increased during recording.

- By programming the source first, a compilation can be recorded.

- If a finalized CD recordable disc is inserted in the CD recorder, FINALIZED CD will be displayed when REC TYPE is pressed. Recording is not possible.

- If a finalized CD rewritable disc is inserted in the CD recorder, UNFINALIZE and PRESS ENTER will be displayed when the REC TYPE is pressed. If ENTER is pressed, the disc will be unfinalized.

This feature enables you to make fast and easy recordings of a CD. Track increments are automatically detected from the source material. Track increments cannot be added manually. In analog source material a silence of 2.7 seconds or more is automatically detected as a track increment.

Important:

- Recording from CD-changers should always be started in the RECORD DISC, RECORD TRACK or MAKE CD mode.

Preparing for autostart recording

1 Make sure the disc is absolutely free of scratches and dust

particles.

Finalizing is a simple procedure, necessary to:

- be able to play recordings on a CD PLAYER,

- avoid further unwanted recordings on a disc,

- avoid erasure of tracks on a CDRW.

Auto finalizing

Auto finalizing is possible when using the MAKE CD recording function.

Manual finalizing

1 Make sure the disc (in the CD recorder) is absolutely free of

scratches and dust particles.

2 With the recorder stopped press FINALIZE.

➜ The display shows FINALIZE and PRESS RECORD.

3 Press RECORD.

➜ XX XX FINAL and the approximate finalisation time

appears on the display. The display counts down through the finalisation. On completion, the total number of tracks and the total time recorded appears on the display. For CDR(W), CDR(W) changes to CD on display.

Finalizing will take at least 2 - 4 minutes.

Note: During finalisation, the CD recorder accepts no

operating commands.

For CDRW discs only.

If you want to make more recordings (or erasures of tracks) on a finalized disc you must unfinalize it first. The Table of Contents (TOC) will be removed. To unfinalize:

1 With the CD recorder stopped, press REC TYPE or ERASE.

➜ UNFINALIZE and PRESS ENTER will appear on

the display.

2 Press ENTER.

➜ The disc will now be unfinalized and can be recorded on

again.

Note:

- Unfinalizing will take approximately 2 minutes.

- When unfinalizing a CDRW disc with text on it available, this text will be transferred to the CD recorder memory. It may occur that the text memory is full. The message MEMORY FULL/FINALIZE CD will be displayed. You will now have to erase text, stored for other discs, or finalize another disc in order to obtain memory space.
