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.

GENERAL INFORMATION

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.

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-Converter of your CD recorder will
ensure 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-Converter of the CD recorder ensures a
good sound quality via the analog output.

We advise you to always establish both digital and analog
connections. This will mean that analog recordings can
always be made 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,
please contact the Philips Consumer Service desk in your
area.

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.

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 will then show on the display.

•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 to be made 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 a regular
CD player, it must be finalized. See finalizing 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 an 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.
Finalizing 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.
