GENERAL INFORMATION
Welcome !
Thank you for buying this Philips Compact Disc Recorder /
Player Double Deck.
In the eighties Philips invented a new audio system - the CD.
The CD (compact disc) revealed to you the new dimensions of
digital sounds and added to the pleasures of audio.
Compact disc technology permits a high contrast in loud as
well as in quiet passages, with perfect channel separation.
Philips has now further developed compact disc technology
and the result is the CD recorder.
With your Philips CD recorder/player, you can make your own
high-quality audio CDs (subject only to legal restrictions on
copying), either by recording at normal or high speed from the
Player to the Recorder, or by recording from an external
source. And naturally, you can also play all pre-recorded audio
CDs, using one or both decks individually, or together as a 2-
deck changer.
Note: In the United Kingdom and certain commonwealth
countries use of the Philips CD Recordable/Rewritable
recorder as shown or suggested in this user manual
may require the authorization of copyright holders.

GENERAL INFORMATION AND DISCS
Discs for recording
Maintenance
For recording use, special audio discs must be used (for music
only). These Discs bear the logos as shown below. The text
‘DIGITAL AUDIO’ is present!
For recording it is very important to use dust and scratch free
discs.
To clean a CD, wipe it in a straight
line from the center toward 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.
Your recorder uses 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.
Recordable
- CD-Audio ReWritable (CDRW) discs:
can be recorded, erased and re-recorded
hunderds 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.
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.
ReWritable
To ensure proper working of the set we recommend the use of
Philips audio CDR and audio CDRW discs only.
Do not expose the CD recorder,
batteries or CDs to humidity, rain,
sand or excessive heat (caused by

heating equipment or direct sunlight).
Your CD recorder is able to play:
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 destroy
the lens. Always keep the tray closed to avoid dust on the
lens.
- 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!
The lenses may cloud over when the CD recorder is suddenly
moved from cold to warm surroundings. It is not possible to
play a CD then. Leave the CD recorder in a warm environment
until the moisture evaporates.

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-Convertor of your CD recorder will
ensure very 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-Convertor of the CD recorder ensures a
very good sound quality via the analog output.
We advise you to always establish both digital and analog
connections. In this way you can always make analog
recordings 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
you can always contact the Philips Consumer Service desk in
your country.

INSTALLATION
Analog connections CD recorder & CD player
Analog connections CD player deck
This connection must be made for playback on the CD
recorder deck as well as the CD player deck (cable 2).
Cable 1 is only required if you want to make recordings from
an external analog source.
This connection is only required if you want to playback on
the CD player deck seperately from the CD recorder deck. This
will be the case in DJ-mode.

Use the digital coaxial cable supplied.
1 For external recording, connect the cable 4 between the
DIGITAL IN-socket on the CD recorder and the DIGITAL OUT-
socket of an external CD player.
When connecting the Digital
Optical cable, make sure it
is fully inserted until
there is a click.
Note: Your CD recorder is equipped with a digital coaxial
output (common output for CD recorder & CD player
deck). This output can be used for digital playback.
1 Remove the dust caps from the digital optical connection.
(We recommend you save the cap.)
2 For external recording, connect a fibre-optic cable 5
between the digital optical input of the CD recorder and the
digital-optical output of an external CD player.
Note: For playback, the digital coaxial outputs or analog
outputs of the CD Player and CD recorder should be
connected to an amplifier

INSTALLATION
Power supply
Inserting batteries in the remote control
1 Plug the power cord supplied into the MAINS connector on
the CD recorder, then into a mains socket.
2 Press ON/OFF.
➜ The recorder is now in Standby mode.
1 Open the battery compartment cover.
3 Press any key to activate the recorder.
2 Insert 2 batteries (“AA”, LR-6 or UM-3; as supplied) as
shown.
Note:
- The CD recorder will automatically adjust to the local mains
voltage.
3 Replace the cover.
- When the CD recorder is in the ‘OFF’ position, it is still
consuming some power. If you wish to disconnect your
player completely from the mains, withdraw the plug from
the AC outlet.
Note: We recommend you use 2 batteries of the same type
and condition.
Batteries contain chemical substances, so they should
be disposed of properly.
Setup recommendations
- Place the CD recorder on a solid, vibration free surface.
- Do not place the CD recorder near a source of heat or in
direct sunlight.
- Do not use the CD recorder under extremely damp
conditions.
- If the CD recorder is placed in a cabinet, make sure that a
2.5 cm space remains free on all sides of the CD
recorder/player for proper ventilation.

Remarks about recording
Recording modes
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. We will describe:
Your recorder offers several recording modes.
For recording from internal CD-deck:
- Digital recording (fast or normal recording).
- Recording from external CD player:
- Digital
- Digital (synchronized start with external CD player)
- Analog
- RECORD FAST (high speed recording) - fast recording of a
disc or programmed tracks.
- REC LISTEN (normal speed recording) - listening to a
recording while making it.
- MAKE CD (high speed recording and auto-finalize) - fast
recording of a disc or programmed tracks. Recording will be
finalized automatically.
• If the disc is a CDRW and is already finalized you must
unfinalize it first.
Warning: No more recording possible after finalizing CDR
• The recording procedure is the same for CDRs and
CDRWs.

• 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. DOES NOT FITthen lights up.
For recording from external sources:
- REC EXT DISC (automatic start of recording) - to make an
automatic recording of an external source simply by starting
the source.
- REC EXT MAN (manual start of recording) - to start a manual
recording from an external source.
• 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 from the original is unlimited.
Some remarks on recording:
- During high speed recording, the original recording quality
will be maintained.
- When Auto track is on (default setting), track numbers will
automatically be increased during recording.
- By programming tracks first, a compilation can be recorded.
- If a finalized CD recordable disc is inserted in the CD
recorder, FINALIZED CDwill be displayed. Recording is
not possible.
- If a finalized CD rewritable disc is inserted in the CD
recorder, UNFINALIZEand PRESS ENTERwill be
displayed when the REC TYPE is pressed. If ENTER is
pressed, the disc will be unfinalized.
• 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 any
regular CD player, it must first be finalized. See
finalizing discs.
Note: If during recording ANALOG RECappears, the track
will be recorded as analog, at normal speed. All other
tracks will be copied normally (at double speed).
Finalized CDRW discs play only on CDRW compatible
CD players.
For recording from CD changers always use REC EXT
DISC.
