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.

Recording and playback of material may require consent. See

1958 to 1972.

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

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.

ABOUT RECORDING

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 standby mode.

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 a copy protected material from an external source, Copy Protect will be displayed. No further digital recording is possible then.

When you try to record a copy protected material from the internal CD changer no digital recording is possible, however the CD recorder will automatically switch to analogue recording.

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 and Text Protect will be displayed.

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 always become active, when you make normal recordings in listen mode.

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. ALC is active, when

ALC is shown.

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 from 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 1 If necessary press Ç STOP on the set (Ç on the remote

control) to stop playback.

2 Press CDR to select the CD recorder.

3 Press REC LEVEL to select:

yALC off: ALC is permanently switched off.

• To enable ALC, press REC LEVEL again to select:

yALC on: ALC is enabled.

You can adjust the reference record level. This is also possible when ALC is active. This feature can be used for fading your recordings in or out.

1 Keep REC LEVEL on the set pressed to enable the rotary

control to adjust the record level.

2 Turn the rotary control to the left to adjust the desired

record level.

yThe actual record level (in dB) will be displayed.

• The record level is reset after the set has been switched to

standby.
