Optimum disc playability :  
ensuring excellent picture quality  
Philips components and modules for the  
Presenting Super Error Correction  
To ensure consistently good results when  
playingVideo CD discs of all quality grades  
various CD applications have always enjoyed and conditions, Philips has introduced further  
an excellent reputation in the market place  
for super disc playability - the ability to play  
discs which may be scratched, soiled or not  
fully according to the standard specification.  
This position has been underlined by tests  
showing the superior performance of the  
various Philips players, as well as by the  
positive experiences of millions of individual  
consumers around the world.  
improvements in the system's playability.  
These developments together are called  
Super Error Correction, a proprietary Philips  
technology optimizing the system's ability to  
handle lessthan- perfect discs with the  
minimum disturbance to normal playing.  
By effectively eliminating virtually all errors  
arising under normal playing conditions,  
Super Error Correction ensures that the  
picture quality as seen by the user is  
independent of disc play.The video encoding  
and processing during mastering of the disc,  
and the MPEG-1 decoding and video  
encoding in the signal processing stages, are  
now the only limiting factors for picture  
quality.  
Constantly improving performance  
As the penetration of the CD system has  
increased, and new applications like CD-  
ROM andVideo CD have become  
commonplace, Philips Components - as the  
CD technology inventor and as one of the  
major suppliers of CD player modules in the  
industry - has constantly improved the  
performance of its products.  
One of the ways in which this benefits users  
is by optimum disc playability.This is an  
important parameter for CD players other  
than CD Audio, and especially for theVideo  
CD applications, because any loss of data  
from the disc will at best cause disturbances  
in the reproduced picture, and at worst can  
cause the player to lose track so that disc  
playing fails.

MP3 General Information  
Dear Customer,  
Thank you for buying the Philips MP3-CD Soundmachine. Your great new acquisition will allow you to  
listen to up to 10 hours of CD-like quality music, using the revolutionary new music compression  
technology MP3.  
MP3 technology  
MP3 is short for MPEG1 Layer-3 encoding and decoding technology, a very powerful encoding  
algorithm with which you can shrink down the orginal Digital Audio sound data with a factor of up to  
10 without losing significant sound quality.  
Recording and Playback  
It is recommended to set your recording bit rate to 128Kbps, sampling frequency at 44.1KHz to  
achieve CD-like music playback quality.  
Since downloading MP3 files from the Internet, ripping songs from your own legal CD’s and burning  
MP3 songs onto a CD-R, are a delicate process, the quality of a MP3 song may vary by these process.  
Subsequently, making a MP3-CD may not be entirely perfect.  
As a result of the above imperfection, you may experience an occasional “skip” while  
listening, or an occasional delay in accessing “previous/next” title to MP3-CD’s. This is  
considered to be normal.

POWER SUPPLY  
BATTERIES (NOT SUPPLIED)  
Whenever convenient, use the mains supply if you want to conserve battery life. The battery supply  
will be switched off when the set is connected to the mains. Make sure you remove the plug from the  
set and wall outlet before inserting batteries.  
Batteries  
1. Open the battery compartment and insert six batteries, type  
R-20, UM-1 or D-cells, (preferably alkaline) with the correct  
polarity as indicated by the "+" and "-" symbols inside the  
compartment.  
Remote control

type AAA, R03 or UM4 (preferably alkaline).  
2. Replace the compartment door, making sure the batteries are  
firmly and correctly in place.  
3. Remove the batteries if they are exhausted or if they will not be  
used for a long period.  
– The incorrect use of batteries can cause electrolyte leakage and  
will corrode the compartment or cause the batteries to burst. Therefore:  
– Do not mix battery types, e.g. alkaline with zinc carbonate.  
– When inserting new batteries, replace all at the same time.  
– Remove the batteries if the set is not to be used for a long time.  
Note : The battery supply is switched off when the set is connected to the mains.  
Batteries contain chemical substances, so they should be disposed of properly  
MAINS  
1. Check if the mains voltage as shown on the type plate (on the  
bottom of the set) corresponds to your local mains voltage. If it  
does not, consult your dealer or service organisation.  
2. Connect the mains lead to the ~ AC IN socket and the wall  
socket.  
The set is now ready for use.  
3. To switch off the mains supply completely, pull the mains plug  
out of the wall socket.  
Disconnect the mains lead when you change over to battery supply, or to protect the set  
during heavy thunderstorms.  
The type plate is located on the bottom of the set.
