standard product information

CDR800

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 of 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 infor mation for e.g. your own compilations.

MP3-CD playback

You can download MP3 songs from the internet 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

The CDR800 recorder is 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.
