GENERAL INFORMATION
Welcome !
Thank you for buying this Philips Compact Disc Recorder/
Player Double Deck.
In the 1980s Philips invented a new audio system - the CD.
The CD (compact disc) revealed the new dimensions of digital
sound and added to the pleasure of audio.
Compact-disc technology permits a high contrast in both loud
and soft 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 certain countries, including the UK and certain
Commonwealth countries, use of the product (or CD
Recorder) as shown or suggested in this user manual
may require the permission 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 one of the logos as shown below. The
text 'DIGITAL AUDIO' is present!
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.
Your recorder can use 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
hundreds 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
Important:
Do not expose the CD recorder
batteries or CDs to humidity, rain,
sand or excessive heat (caused by
To ensure proper working of the set, we recommend the use
of Philips audio CDR and audio CDRW discs only.

Discs for playback
Always keep the tray closed to avoid dust on the lens.
Your CD recorder is able to play:
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.
- 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!

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-Converter of your CD recorder will
ensure 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-Converter of the CD recorder ensures a
good sound quality via the analog output.
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.
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.

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 audio cables supplied. Connect the red plugs to the
R sockets, and the white plugs to the L sockets.
1 For separate playback on the CD player deck, connect a
third cable 3 (not supplied) between the ANALOG OUT
sockets of the CD recorder and the input sockets of an
amplifier e.g. CD, or AUX.
(Connect the red plugs to the R sockets, and the white plugs
to the L socket.)
1 For recording, connect cable 1 between the ANALOG IN-
sockets on the CD recorder and the CDR LINE- or TAPE OUT-
sockets of an amplifier.
Note: For recording directly from a CD player, the analog
input of the CD recorder should be connected to the
analog output of the CD player.
Note:
- Never use the PHONO input.
- Your CD recorder/player is equipped with a digital coaxial
output for the CD player deck. This output can be used for
digital playback.
2 For playback, connect cable 2 between the ANALOG OUT
sockets on the CD recorder and the input sockets of an
amplifier e.g. TAPE IN, CDR or AUX.
Note: Never use the PHONO input.

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.
The following will be explained:
Your recorder offers several recording modes.
For recording from internal CD-deck:
- Recording from an internal CD player deck: high-speed or
listen mode.
- Recording from an external CD player deck: synchronized
start with CD player or manual start (analog or digital).
- 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.
- MAKE CD (high-speed digital 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.
•The recording procedure is the same for CDRs and CDRWs.
Warning: No more recording possible after finalizing CDR
•If the disc already contains recordings, the CD recorder will
automatically search for the end of the last track, so that
recording can start from there.

•CD text cannot be recorded from an external CD player.
(Text information is not available on the output of the CD
player.)
For recording from external sources:
•The CD recorder deck is able to record CD text from the
internal CD player deck (if not subjected to copy protection).
This may take up to 2 minutes.
- 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.
•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 FITwill then show on the
display.
Some remarks on recording:
•If the display indicates COPY PROTECTno digital
recording can be made of the source material. Recording
will not start.
- 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 when REC
TYPE is pressed. Recording will not be 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.
•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.
•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.
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).
Important:
If you want to play the recorded CDR disc on a regular
CD player, it must be finalized. See finalizing discs.
Finalized CDRW discs play only on CDRW compatible
CD players.
For recording from CD changers always use REC EXT
