GENERAL INFORMATION

Discs for recording

CD(RW) handling

For recording, make sure to use special audio discs only.

These discs are marked “Digital Audio” and the logos shown

below.

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.

There are two different types of audio discs for the use on

this CD recorder:

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.

– CD-Audio Recordable (CDR) discs

These discs can be recorded on once and

play on all standard CD players and

CD recorders, when finalized.

To take a CD(RW) out of its box

– 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.

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.

All Philips CD players and CD recorders with

this sticker are CDRW compatible.

To clean a CD(RW), wipe it in a

To ensure proper working of the set we recommend the use of

Philips audio CDR and audio CDRW discs only.

straight line from the centre toward the

edge using a soft, lint-free cloth. A

cleaning agent may damage the disc!

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

INSTALLATION

Mains

Antenna connections

The type plate is located on the rear of the set.

AM antenna

The loop antenna supplied is for indoor use only.

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.

1 Fit the plug of the loop antenna to AM AERIAL as shown

below.

2 Make sure all connections have been made before

switching on the mains supply.

2 Position the antenna as far away as possible from the TV, a

VCR and other radiation sources.

3 Connect the mains cable supplied to AC MAINS ~ and to

3 Turn the antenna for optimum reception.

the wall socket. This switches on the mains supply.

For optimal performance use only the original mains

cable.

AERIAL

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.

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.

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.

1 Fit the supplied wire antenna to FM AERIAL 75 Ω as shown

below.

2 Move the antenna in different positions for optimum

reception.

Speaker connections

The speaker connections are click-fit connectors. Use them as

shown below.

• 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.

You can use this coaxial input for recordings from any digital

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

or DVD player.

1 Insert the red plug of a cinch cable to the red socket

AUX IN R and the white plug to the white socket AUX IN L.

1 Use a coaxial cable to connect the coaxial output of the

additional appliance with DIGITAL IN on the set.

2 Connect the other end of the cinch cable to the audio

outputs of the additional appliance.

Connecting a subwoofer

A subwoofer can be used to enhance the bass performance of

your set dramatically.

Note: It is not possible to connect a turntable directly to

AUX IN L/R. If you wish to use a turntable with the set,

you have to connect an amplifier to AUX IN L/R on the

set. Then connect the turntable to the amplifier.

1 Use a cinch cable to connect the input of the subwoofer

with SUBWOOFER OUT at the set.

2 Follow the instructions supplied with the subwoofer.

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.

ABOUT RECORDING

Basic information

Direct Line Recording (DLR)

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

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.

– Erasing a CDRW disc

Auto Level Control (ALC)

The recording procedure is the same for CDR and CDRW

discs. Make sure the CDR(W) is absolutely free of

scratches and dust particles.

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.

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 Fullis displayed and you cannot enter

the record standby mode.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

When you try to record a copy protected material from an

external source, Copy Protectwill be displayed. No

further digital recording is possible then.

3 Press REC LEVEL to select:

yALC off: ALC is permanently switched off.

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.

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

yALC on: ALC is enabled.

REC LEVEL key

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.

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 Protectwill be displayed.

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.
