Welcome !

Thank you for buying this Philips Compact Disc Recorder.

In the 1980s Philips invented a new audio system - the CD.
The CD (compact disc) revealed the new dimensions of digital
sound and added to the pleasure of audio.
Compact-disc technology permits a high contrast in both loud
and soft 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.

It is forbidden to copy material protected by copyright,
including computer programs, films, television and audio
recordings. This appliance may not be used for such
applications.

This manual gives instructions for operating this CD recorder.
Please note:

- the digits (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 operation.

Subject to modification without notice.

For recording use, special audio discs must be used (for music
only). These discs bear one of the logos as shown below. The
text 'DIGITAL AUDIO' is present!

Your recorder can use 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
hundreds 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 discs that are free of
dust and scratches.

To clean a CD, wipe it in a straight
line from the center towards 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 damage
the lens. Always keep the tray closed to avoid dust on the
lens.

The lens may cloud over when the CD recorder is suddenly
moved from cold to warm surroundings, making it impossible
to play a CD. Leave the CD recorder in the warm environment
until the moisture evaporates.
