Mains cable

Setup information

Place the set on a flat, hard and stable surface. Make sure to leave at least 3.5 cm free around the set to prevent overheating. Active mobile phones near to the set may cause malfunctions.

Maintenance

Clean the set 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 set, batteries or discs to humidity, rain, sand or excessive heat (caused by heating equipment or direct sunlight).

Disc handling

If the CDR Mini Hi-Fi system fails to read discs correctly use a commonly available cleaning-CD to clean the lenses before submitting the set to repair. Other cleaning methods may destroy the lenses. Always keep the trays closed to avoid dust on the lenses.

The lenses may cloud over when the set is suddenly moved from cold to warm surroundings. Playing a disc is not possible then. Leave the set in a warm environment until the moisture evaporates.

To take a disc out of its box

easily, press the centre spindle while lifting the CD(RW). Always pick up a CD(RW) by the edge and put it back in its box after use.

Never write on a CD or attach a

sticker to it.Write only on the printed side of a CDR or CDRW, and only with a soft felt-tipped pen.

To clean a disc, wipe it in a straight line from the centre towards the edge using a soft, lint-free cloth.

A cleaning agent may damage the disc!

Discs for recording

For recording, make sure to use special audio discs only. These discs are marked with “Digital Audio” and the logos shown below.

There are two different types of audio discs for the use on this CD recorder:

CD-Audio Recordable (CDR) discs can be recorded on once and

played on all standard CD players and CD recorders, when finalized.

CD-Audio ReWritable (CDRW) discs can be recorded on, erased and re-recorded many times and played on CDRW compatible CD players and CD recorders, when finalized.

All Philips CD players and CD recorders with this sticker are CDRW compatible.

To ensure proper working of the set we recommend

the use of Philips audio CDR and audio CDRW discs only.

Note: Do not use a computer CDR or CDRW as recording will not work properly!

Recording is permissable insofar as copyright or other rights of third parties are not infringed upon.

In some countries the use of the Philips CDR Mini Hi-Fi system as shown or suggested in this user manual may require the authorization of copyright holders.

Discs for playback

For playback on this CD changer and CD recorder you can use following discs:

All pre-recorded audio CDs

All audio CDR and audio CDRW discs

MP3-CDs (CD-ROMs with MP3 tracks) – Make sure filename ends with .mp3

Note: Not finalized CDR(W) discs can only be played on the CD recorder.

Some words about MP3

The revolutionary new music compression technology MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer-3) enables shrinking down of original digital audio sound data with a factor of up to 10 without losing significant sound quality.This allows you to record up to 10 hours of CD-like quality music on a single CD-ROM.

Making your own MP3-CD

Basically there are two sources for MP3 music on CD.You can either transfer music from your own digital audio CDs via CD-ROM drive onto your PC and encode it into MP3 format (“rip”) or download legal MP3 music from the Internet.

Record (“burn”) the music from your hard disc on CD-ROM with your home PC (make sure filename ends with .mp3). Once finished, you can play your MP3-CD on this CDR Mini Hi-Fi system and enjoy the music.

Data rate

The data rate is of great importance with MP3. It indicates how fast bits are transfered.

Stereo music on a CD shows a data rate of about

1,400 kilobits per second (kbps). To achieve a good MP3 quality a bit rate of 128 kbps is recommended. As the encoding rate is user-selectable, make sure to reach this data rate for MP3 as recordings less than 128 kbps will suffer from a degradation in sound quality.

Recording

Downloading MP3 files from the Internet or ripping songs from your own digital audio CDs is a delicate process, also influenced by the quality of the encoder program and speed of your PC.This may sometimes result in “drop-outs” which you may experience while listening to your MP3-CD.

In any case make sure to use a recording speed not faster than indicated on the CD-ROM and avoid running other programs simultaneously on your PC during the recording process.

In compliance with the SDMI (Secure Digital Music Initiative) this CDR Mini Hi-Fi system has no digital output.

It is not possible to “burn” an MP3-CD on this CDR Mini Hi-Fi system.

It is not possible to record from an MP3-CD.

Supported formats

Following formats are supported on this CDR Mini Hi-Fi system:

Disc format: ISO 9660 or Joliet

Filename: .mp3 (tracks), .m3u or .pls (playlists)

Bit rate: 32–320 kbps (128 kbps advised) or variable

bit rate

Use ISO 9660 disc format when burning the CD-ROM.

UDF disc format (e. g.“DirectCD” or “WinOnCD”) is not supported.

About recording

Basic information

The CD recorder deck offers you 3 main functions:

Recording from the internal CD changer and tuner or from a selected external source

Finalizing your CDR(W) discs and unfinalizing your CDRW discs

Erasing a CDRW disc

The recording procedure is the same for CDR and CDRW discs. Make sure the CDR(W) is absolutely free of scratches and dust particles.

For recordings, the minimum track length is 4 seconds.You can record up to a maximum of 99 tracks on a disc.The minimum of recording time left on the disc is 7 seconds. Otherwise DISC FULL is displayed and you cannot enter the record mode.

Do not forget to finalize! Finalizing a CDR(W) disc is a simple procedure, necessary to:

play a recorded CDR on a standard CD player, or

play a recorded CDRW on a CDRW compatible

CD player and CD recorder.

Copyright protection

The Serial Copy Management System (SCMS) prevents the making of a digital copy from a digital copy.The system allows making a digital recording from the original, however, in some countries this may require the authorization of copyright holders.

When you try to record copy protected material from an external source, COPY PROTECT will be displayed. No further digital recording is possible then.

When you try to record copy protected material from the internal CD changer no digital recording is possible, however, the CD recorder will automatically switch to analogue recording. It is not possible to copy an MP3-CD.

Recording CD text

If the original CD has CD text, this text will be recorded automatically, provided that the CD text is not copy protected. In that case, recording of CD text will not be possible then and TEXT PROTECT will be displayed.

Direct Line Recording (DLR)

The CD recorder is equipped with the high-performance Direct Line Recording technique. It ensures a perfect recording of the source material, meaning a true “bit for bit” recording. DLR will not become active when ALC is being used or the record level is adjusted.

Auto Level Control (ALC)

Auto Level Control ensures that the tracks on the recorded disc have a similar volume level. At all times the already recorded tracks of the CDR(W) disc will be taken as reference for the volume level of the following recordings.

Auto level control becomes active, when:

COMPILE CD is being used,

a disc, a track or a track edit is being high speed recorded and the CDR(W) has recordings on it, or

a program (consisting of more than one disc) from the CD changer is being high speed recorded.

Auto level control will not become active, when:

using COPY CD,

making recordings from the FM tuner,

making recordings from an external source, or

making normal recordings in listen mode.

Switching ALC permanently off

1If necessary, press Ç to stop playback.

2Press CDR to select the CD recorder.

3Press REC LEVEL to select:

ALC OFF: ALC is permanently switched off.

0To enable ALC press REC LEVEL again to select:ALC ON: ALC is enabled.

External recording

Analogue or digital recording?

When making recordings from an external source, we recommend doing analogue recording only if digital recording is not possible. Digital recording will usually result in better sound quality.

Automatic track increment

When the digital input for recording from a digital source (e.g. CD player) is used, tracks will be incremented automatically such that the track numbers are positioned on the same position as on the original.When the analogue input for recording from a digital or analogue source is used, track increment will not take place automatically unless one of the following settings is selected.Track increments may not always be positioned correctly, depending on the quality of the source material.

Press TRACK INCR. as often as necessary on the remote control during stop to switch through the following automatic track increment functions:

MANUAL: for switching the function off

TURNTABLE: for optimal recording from noisy sources like turntables (It is not possible to connect a turntable directly to AUX/CDR IN L/R – see “Analogue audio connections”.)

TAPE/TUNER: for optimal recording from a tape

CD/DVD: for optimal recording from high quality sources like DAT, DCC or DVD
