Compact-disc technology permits a high contrast in both  
loud and soft passages, with perfect channel separation.  
actions necessary to perform a certain operation;  
- the arrows (➜) indicate the reaction from the recorder;  
Philips has now further developed compact disc technology  
and the result is the CD recorder.

General information  
Discs for recording  
Maintenance  
For recording, make sure to use special audio discs only.  
These discs are marked with “Digital Audio” and the logos  
shown below.  
For recording, it is very important to use discs that are free  
of dust and scratches.  
To clean a CD, wipe it in a straight  
line from the center towards 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.  
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  
Recordable  
once and play in all standard CD  
players and CD recorders, when they are finalized.  
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.  
– CD-Audio ReWritable  
(CDRW) discs  
These discs can be recorded on,  
erased and re-recorded many  
ReWritable  
times and play in CDRW compatible CD players  
and CD recorders, when they are finalized.  
Do not expose the CD recorder,  
batteries or CDs to humidity, rain,  
sand or excessive heat (caused by

To ensure proper working of the CD recorder we  
recommend the use of Philips audio CDR and audio  
CDRW discs only.  
Always keep the tray closed to avoid dust on the lens.  
The lens may cloud over when the CD recorder is  
suddenly moved from cold to warm surroundings, making it  
impossible to play a CD. Leave the CD recorder in the  
warm environment until the moisture evaporates.  
Note: Do not use a computer CDR or CDRW as recording will  
not work!  
Recording is permissible insofar as copyright or other  
rights of third parties are not infringed upon.  
In certain countries including the UK and certain  
Commonwealth countries, use of the product as  
shown or suggested in this user manual may require  
the permission of copyright holders.

Which connections do you need?  
Explanation of connections  
For playback on the CD recorder  
1 Connection to mains  
(and/or CD player deck) the following outputs are present:  
2 ANALOG OUT CD  
- Digital coaxial output (CD & CDR - DIGITAL OUT) 7;  
- Analog output (CD & CDR - ANALOG OUT) 5.  
connects to the line (analog) input of an amplifier/receiver,  
so you can listen to playback of the CD player deck via the  
amplifier/receiver (only needed for separate playback of  
CD player deck in DJ mode)  
We advise you to connect these to theTAPE or CDR input  
on your amplifier.  
3 DIGITAL OUT CD  
For recording from internal player deck no  
connects to the digital coaxial input of an amplifier/receiver,  
so you can listen to playback of the CD player deck via the  
amplifier/receiver (only needed for separate playback of  
CD player deck in DJ mode)  
connections are needed.  
For external recording the following inputs are present:  
- Digital optical input (CDR - OPTICAL IN) 8;  
- Digital coaxial input (CDR - DIGITAL IN) 6;  
- Analog input (CDR - ANALOG IN) 4.  
4 ANALOG IN CDR  
Note: It is not possible to connect a record player directly to the  
CD recorder. Recordings can only be made from a record  
player connected via amplifier or receiver.  
For playback of CD player deck separately  
(DJ mode) from the CD recorder the following outputs are  
present:  
connects to the line (analog) output of an amplifier/receiver  
or other analog source (tape deck, tuner etc.), so you can  
record from this source (ANALOG). For recording from a  
record player both recorder and record player should be  
connected to an amplifier/receiver  
- Digital coaxial output (CD) 3;  
- Analog output (CD) 2.  
The connections you make will depend upon the  
possibilities your audio equipment offers. Please refer to the  
user manuals for your other audio equipment first.  
5 ANALOG OUT CD & CDR  
connects to the line (analog) input of an amplifier/receiver,  
so you can listen to playback of this CD recorder via the  
amplifier/receiver  
Digital recordings (optical or coaxial) give the best  
performance in audio and usability (e.g. auto-track increment).  
The digital optical connection is less sensitive to external  
disturbances.  
6 DIGITAL IN CDR  
connects to the digital coaxial output of an external digital  
source (CD player, DVD, DAT, etc.), so you can record from  
this source (DIGITAL1)  
We advise you to always establish both digital and analog  
connections.This will mean that analog recordings can  
always be made when digital recording is not possible.  
7 DIGITAL OUT CD & CDR  
We have described the most common ways of connecting  
the CD recorder. If you still have difficulties with the  
connections, please contact the Philips Consumer Service  
desk in your area.  
connects to the digital coaxial input of an amplifier/receiver,  
so you can listen to playback of the CDR or CD deck via  
the amplifier/receiver  
8 OPTICAL IN CDR  
connects to the digital optical output of an external digital  
source (CD player, DVD, DAT, etc.), so you can record from  
this source (OPTICAL)

How to connect your recorder  
Tip:  
Analog connection CD player deck (DJ-mode)  
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.  
If the integrated CD player deck will be the only  
source from which you are going to record, just  
connect the analog output for playback of the CD  
recorder to your amplifier/receiver (cable 1).  
Analog connections  
DIGITAL  
RECEIVER  
These connections are required for playback on the CD  
recorder deck as well as the CD player deck (cable 1). Cable 2  
is required for making recordings from an external analogue  
source (e.g. via amplifier: cassettedeck or turntable).

How to connect your recorder  
Digital optical connection  
Power supply/Mains  
Instead of the digital coaxial connection you can make use of  
the optical input.. Optical connections are less sensitive to  
external disturbances.This connection is required for direct  
recording from an external digital optical source (e.g. a CD  
player, DVD, DAT).  
CD PLAYER  
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.

Introduction  
You will soon discover how easy it is to make your own  
CDs.Your recorder offers several recording modes:  
General information on  
recording  
It is advisable to use a CDRW disc for your first try.

During high speed recording, the original recording quality  
will be maintained.  
For recording from internal CD-deck:  
RECORD FAST (high speed digital recording)  
- fast recording of a disc or programmed tracks.  
REC LISTEN (normal speed digital recording)  
- listening to a recording while making it.  
When Auto track is on (default setting), track numbers will  
automatically be increased during recording.  
0
0
By programming tracks first, a compilation can be recorded.  
MAKE CD (high speed digital recording and auto-finalize)  
- fast recording of a disc or programmed tracks.  
Recording will be finalized automatically.  
If a finalized CD recordable disc is inserted in the CD  
recorder, FINALIZED CDwill be displayed when REC  
TYPE is pressed. Recording will not be possible.  
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.  
0
If a finalized CD rewritable disc is inserted in the CD  
recorder, UNFINALIZEand PRESS ENTERwill be  
displayed when the RECTYPE is pressed. If ENTER is  
pressed, the disc will be unfinalized.  
REC EXT MAN (manual start of recording)  
- to start a manual recording from an external source  
simply by pressing the RECORD key.  
0
0
The recording procedure is the same for CDRs and  
CDRWs.  
The CD recorder deck is able to record CD text from the  
internal CD player deck only. (If not subject to copy  
protection)  
Important: Use only discs with CDR AUDIO only or  
CDRW AUDIO only logo. Discs for use in a personal  
computer’s CD-(re)writer cannot be used in an Audio  
CD-recorder.  
0
0
0
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. DISC FULL will then show on the display.  
If you want to play the recorded CDR disc on a  
regular CD player, it must be finalized.  
If the display indicates COPY PROTECT no digital  
recording can be made of the source material. Recording  
will not start.  
Finalizing is a simple procedure, necessary to:  
- be able to play recordings on a CD PLAYER,  
- avoid further unwanted recordings on a disc,  
- avoid erasure of tracks on a CDRW,  
- write CD text on a CDR(W).  
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 to be made from the original  
is unlimited.  
Finalized CDRW discs play only on CDRW  
compatible CD players.  
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).  
0
0
A maximum of 99 tracks can be recorded on a disc.  
Minimum allowable track length is 4 seconds.  
For external recordings from CD changers always use REC  
EXT DISC.

Adjusting recording level  
Recording from internal deck  
Recording from external source  
Set the recording level, if necessary, to make compilations  
from different discs with equalized volume levels. Pre-  
recorded CD’s often have different volume levels.When  
playing back your compilation you could hear these  
differences in volume between tracks.  
Some external analog sources have such high output levels,  
that you may need to adjust the recording level to ensure  
good quality recordings without distortion.  
1 Place an unfinalized CDR(W), absolutely free of scratches  
and dust particles in the left CDR tray.  
Amplifying a of digital audio information stream will distort  
the audio signal.This means that digital signals can only be  
decreased in volume to obtain equal audio levels for  
different tracks. Our advise is to record all tracks on -3dB  
(or lower if needed). In this way it is possible to  
- increase (0 dB is maximum) the volume level for  
those tracks with a weaker signal,  
2 Press SOURCE repeatedly to select the ANALOG input  
➜
ANALOG lights up and ANALOGwill appear on the  
display.  
3 With the CD recorder stopped, press RECTYPE five times  
to select REC EXT MAN.  
➜ d starts to flash and the display shows  
PRESS RECORD.  
- decrease (-3 dB or less) the volume level for those  
tracks with a stronger signal.  
4 Start the source by pressing PLAY/PAUSE 2;.  
DO NOT start recording!  
For pre-listening you need to make a test recording with a  
CDRW disc in the left disctray:  
5 Rotate the EASY JOG/ENTER key to decrease the record  
level until, on the Record/Play Level bar, all the blue  
segments are alight, but the red segments do not light  
continuously during the loudest passages.  
1 After pressing the RECTYPE key rotate the EASY  
JOG/ENTER key to decrease the level (e.g. -3dB) for the  
track(s) of the first disc.  
6 Press STOP 9on the CD recorder and on the source.  
2 Press RECORD to record a track.  
3 Press STOP.  
➜
The adjusted recording level is stored in the memory  
of your recorder (also when powered off!).  
4 Listen to the track(s) of the next disc to determine the  
Note:The recording level can also be adjusted for digital or  
optical recordings after selecting the DIGITAL 1or  
OPTICALinput.  
recording level.  
5 Press the RECTYPE key, rotate the EASY JOG/ENTER key  
to increase/decrease the recording level and repeat step 2  
and 3.  
6 Judge the various recording levels from your test recording.  
Now you are able to make a final recording and preset the  
correct recording level of each individual track before you  
record it.  
7 Place the CDR(W) disc on which you want to make your  
final recording.  
Notes:  
During recording it is possible to adjust the recording level  
with the EASY JOG/ENTER key.  
The adjusted recording level is stored in the memory of your  
recorder (also when powered off!).  
During RECORD FAST mode no sound and therefor no  
adjustments are audible.
