This connection is required if you want to make recordings
from an external CD player with a digital coaxial output.
1
For external recording, connect the cable
3
between the
DIGITAL IN-socket on the set and the DIGITAL OUT-socket
of an external CD player.
Note: Your set is equipped with a digital coaxial output (com-
mon output for CD recorder & CD changer deck). This
output can be used for digital playback. (e.g. Philips
receiver FR960 or FR970.)
This connection is required if you want to make recordings
from an external CD player with a digital optical output.
When connecting the Digital
Optical cable, make sure it
is fully inserted until
there is a click.
1
Remove the dust caps from the digital optical connection.
(We recommend you save the cap.)
2
For external recording, connect a fibre-optic cable
4
bet-
ween the digital optical input of the set and the digital-
optical output of an external CD player.
Note: For playback, the digital coaxial outputs or analog out-
puts of the CD Changer and CD recorder should be
connected to an amplifier.

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)
We advise you to connect these to the TAPE or CD-R input on
your amplifier.
For external recording the following inputs are present:
– Digital optical input
– Digital coaxial input
– Analog input (stereo)
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).
(The digital optical connection is less sensitive to external
disturbances).
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.
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.
We advise you to always establish both digital and analog
connections. In this way you can always make analog recor-
dings 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
you can always contact the Philips Consumer Service desk in
your country.
This connection must be made for playback on the CD recor-
der 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.
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 ANA-
LOG IN-sockets on the set and the CDR LINE- or TAPE OUT-
sockets of an amplifier.
Note: For recording directly from a CD player or tape deck, the
analog input of the set should be connected to the ana-
log output of the CD player or tape deck.
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.
