Discs for recording

For recording, make sure to use special audio discs only.
These discs are marked with “Digital Audio” and the logos
shown below.

There are two different types of audio discs for the use on
this CD recorder:

– CD-Audio Recordable 

(CDR) discs

These discs can be recorded on 
once and play in all standard CD
players and CD recorders, when they are finalized.

– CD-Audio ReWritable 

(CDRW) discs

These discs can be recorded on,
erased and re-recorded many
times and play in CDRW compatible CD players 
and CD recorders, when they are finalized.

– All Philips CD players and CD 

recorders with the sticker 
shown here are CDRW compatible.

To ensure proper working of the CD recorder we
recommend the use of Philips audio CDR and audio
CDRW discs only.

Note: Do not use a computer CDR or CDRW as recording will
not work!

Recording is permissible insofar as copyright or other
rights of third parties are not infringed upon.

Discs for playback 

Your CD recorder is able to play:

- All pre-recorded audio CDs.
- All Audio CDR and Audio CDRW.

Note: CDR(W) discs containing audio recorded with a
computer can only be played when they are correctly treated
according the audio standard (IEC958: Consumer part). Single
session only!

Maintenance

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.

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.

Do not expose the CD recorder,
batteries or CDs to humidity, rain,
sand or excessive heat (caused by
heating equipment or direct
sunlight).

Always keep the tray closed to avoid dust on the lens.

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.
