This apparatus is fitted with an approved moulded 13 Amp  
plug. To change a fuse in this type of plug proceed as  
follows:  
Remove fuse cover and fuse.  
Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 5 Amp, A.S.T.A. or  
BSI approved type.  
Refit the fuse cover.  
If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it  
should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place.  
If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should have a value of  
5 Amp. If a plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the  
distribution board should not be greater than 5 Amp.  
Note: The severed plug must be disposed to avoid a  
possible shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13 Amp  
socket elsewhere.  
How to connect a plug  
The wires in the mains lead are coloured with the following  
code: blue = neutral (N), brown = live (L).  
As these colours may not correspond with the colour  
markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as  
follows:  
Connect the blue wire to the terminal marked N or  
coloured black.  
Connect the brown wire to the terminal marked L or  
coloured red.  
Do not connect either wire to the earth terminal in the  
plug, marked E (or e) or coloured green (or green and  
yellow).  
Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord  
grip is clamped over the sheath of the lead - not simply over  
the two wires.Copyright in the U.K.: Recording and playback  
of material may require consent. See Copyright Act 1956 and  
The Performers Protection Acts 1958 to 1972.

INSTALLATION  
Connections general  
Analog connections  
For playback on the CD recorder from the CD changer deck the  
following outputs are present:  
Digital coaxial output (CD & CD-R)  
Analog output (CD & CD-R)  
This connection must be made for playback on the CD  
recorder deck as well as the CD changer deck (cable 2).  
Cable 1 is only required if you want to make recordings from  
an external analog source.  
We advise you to connect these to the TAPE or CD-R input on  
your amplifier.  
RECEIVER/AMPLIFIER  
For external recording the following inputs are present:  
Digital optical input  
Digital coaxial input  
Analog input (stereo)  
IN  
OUT  
TAPE/CDR  
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.

Digital recordings (optical or coaxial) give the best  
performance in audio and usability (e.g. auto-track).

If your equipment does not offer digital connections, the high  
quality Analog-Digital-Convertor of your set will ensure very  
good audio performance when recordings are made from the  
analog input.  
CD RECORDER  
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 set ensures a very  
good sound quality via the analog output.  
Use the audio cables supplied. Connect the red plugs to the  
R sockets, and the white plugs to the L sockets.  
1 For external recording, connect cable 1 between the  
ANALOG IN-sockets on the set and the CDR LINE- or TAPE  
OUT-sockets of an amplifier.  
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.  
Note: For recording directly from a CD player or tape deck,  
the analog input of the set should be connected to the  
analog output of the CD player or tape deck.  
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.  
2 For playback, connect cable 2 between the ANALOG OUT-  
sockets on the set and the input sockets of an amplifier e.g.  
TAPE IN, CD-R or AUX.  
Note: Never use the PHONO input.

RECORDING GENERAL  
Basic information  
Direct Line Recording (DLR)  
We will describe:  
Digital recording from internal CDC (fast or normal  
recording).  
Recording from external CD player:  
Digital  
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.  
Digital (synchronized start with external CD player)  
Analog  
Finalizing discs:  
Auto Level Control (ALC)  
Finalizing a CDR(W) disc is a simple procedure, necessary to:  
– play a recorded CDR on a standard CD player  
– play a recorded CDRW on a CDRW compatible CD player  
Auto Level Control ensures that the tracks on the recorded disc  
have a similar volume level. Always 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.  
The recording procedure is the same for CDR and CDRW discs.  
Make sure that the CDR(W) is absolutely free of  
scratches and dust particles.  
Auto level control becomes active, when:  
COMPILE CD is being used,  
– a disc, a track or a track edit (A-B) is being high speed  
recorded,  
It is advisable to use a CDRW disc for your first try.  
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.  
– a program from the CD changer is being high speed recorded.  
Auto level control will not become active, when:  
CDCD is being used for an empty CDR(W),  
making recordings from an external source, or  
making normal recordings in listen mode.  
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. Else, NOT  
FITTINGis displayed and you cannot enter into the record  
standby mode.  
BALANCE key  
When you try to record a copy protected material from an  
external source, COPY PROTECTwill be displayed. No  
further digital recording is possible then.

For external recording you can choose following recording  
modes:  
AUX CD - to make an automatic recording of an external  
source simply by starting the source.  
AUX TRACK - to make an automatic recording of a single  
track from an external source simply by starting the source.  
AUX MANUAL - to start a manual recording from an  
external source.  
AUX MIX MIC - to start a mixed recording of microphone  
and external source input.  
Press as often as necessary TRACK INCREMENT on the  
remote control during stop when CDR is selected to switch  
the automatic track increment function off.

Notes:  
Track numbers cannot be changed after recording.  
The automatic track increment only works with consumer  
sources with a digital output signal according to the IEC  
958 (consumer part) audio standard. DAT, DVD and DCC do  
not deliver this signal.
