Important notes for users in the U.K.
Mains plug
This apparatus is fitted with an approved 13 Amp plug. To
change a fuse in this type of plug proceed as follows:
1 Remove fuse cover and fuse.
2
Fix new fuse which should be a
BS1362
5 Amp, A.S.T.A. or BSI approved type.
3 Refit the fuse cover.
If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it
should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place.
If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should have a value of
5 Amp. If a plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the
distribution board should not be greater than 5 Amp.
Note: The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a
possible shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13 Amp
socket elsewhere.
How to connect a plug
The wires in the mains lead are coloured with the following
code: blue = neutral (N), brown = live (L).
As these colours may not correspond with the colour mark
ings
identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
• Connect the blue wire to the terminal marked N or
coloured black.
• Connect the brown wire to the terminal marked L or
coloured red.
•
Do not connect either wire to the earth terminal in the plug,
marked E (or e) or coloured green (or green and yellow).
Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord
grip is clamped over the sheath of the lead - not simply over
the two wires.

GENERAL INFORMATION

For recording, make sure to use special audio discs only.
These discs are marked “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
These discs can be recorded on once and
play on all standard CD players and
CD recorders, when finalized.
– CD-Audio ReWritable (CDRW) discs
These discs can be recorded on, erased
and re-recorded many times and play 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.
For playback on this CD changer and CD recorder you can use
following audio discs:
– All pre-recorded audio CDs
– All audio CDR and audio CDRW discs
Notes: – Do not try to play a CD-ROM, CD-I or CDV!
– CDR(W) discs, which are recorded on a computer
can only be used when they are correctly treated
according to the audio standard (IEC958: Consumer
part). Single session only!
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 CD(RW) is not
possible then. Leave the set in a warm environment until the
moisture evaporates.
To take a CD(RW) 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 CD(RW), wipe it in a
straight line from the centre toward the
edge using a soft, lint-free cloth. A
cleaning agent may damage the disc!

INSTALLATION
8
The type plate is located on the rear of the set.
1 Check whether the mains voltage as shown on the type
plate corresponds to your local mains voltage. If it does not,
consult your dealer or service organisation.
2 Make sure all connections have been made before
switching on the mains supply.
3 Connect the mains cable supplied to AC MAINS ~ and to
the wall socket. This switches on the mains supply.
For optimal performance use only the original mains
cable.
When the set is switched to standby, it is still consuming
some power. To disconnect the set from the mains completely,
remove the mains plug from the wall socket.
For users in the U.K.: please follow the instructions on
page 2.
To avoid overheating of the set a safety circuit has
been built in. Therefore your set may disconnect under
extreme conditions. If this happens, switch the set off
and let it cool down before reusing it.
The speaker connections are click-fit connectors. Use them as
shown below.
1 Connect the coloured (or marked) wire to the red terminal
and the black (or unmarked) wire to the black terminal.
2 Connect:
– Left speaker to L (red and black)
– Right speaker to R (red and black)
AM antenna
The loop antenna supplied is for indoor use only.
1 Fit the plug of the loop antenna to AM AERIAL as shown
below.
2 Position the antenna as far away as possible from the TV, a
VCR and other radiation sources.
3 Turn the antenna for optimum reception.
FM antenna
The wire antenna supplied can only be used to receive nearby
stations. For better reception we recommend using a cable
antenna system or an outdoor antenna.
1 Fit the supplied wire antenna to FM AERIAL 75 Ω as shown
below.
2 Move the antenna in different positions for optimum
reception.
• If you are using a cable antenna system or an outdoor
antenna, fit the antenna plug to FM AERIAL 75 Ω instead
of the wire antenna.

AUX IN L/R
It is possible to use an additional appliance, e.g. tape
recorder, TV or VCR with the set.

you have to connect an amplifier to AUX IN L/R on the
set. Then connect the turntable to the amplifier.
LINE OUT L/R
You can use these outputs for playback or recording on any
analogue audio equipment e.g. amplifier or tape recorder.
• Use a cinch cable to connect the analogue audio inputs of
the additional appliance with LINE OUT L/R on the set and
operate your appliance as usual.
DIGITAL IN

audio equipment with a digital coaxial output e.g. CD player
or DVD player.

additional appliance with DIGITAL IN on the set.
2 Press DIGITAL / ANALOG AUX repeatedly to select the
digital input for the appliance.
yAUX Digital is displayed.

with SUBWOOFER OUT at the set.
2 Follow the instructions supplied with the subwoofer.
