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

All pre-recorded audio CDs  
CAUTION  
INVISIBLE LASER RADIATION WHEN OPEN.  
AVOID EXPOSURE TO BEAM.  
All audio CDR and audio CDRW discs  
Notes: – Do not try to play a CD-ROM, CD-I or CDV!  
– CDR(W) discs, which are recorded on a computer  
can only be used when they are correctly treated  
according to the audio standard (IEC958: Consumer

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.  
AM  
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 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 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.

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.  
Copyright protection  
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  
copyright holders.  
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.  
Recording CD text  
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.  
yThe actual record level (in dB) will be displayed.  
The record level is reset after the set has been switched to  
standby.
