Welcome !
Thank you for buying this Philips Compact Disc Recorder / CD
Changer.
In the eighties Philips invented a new audio system - the CD.
The CD (compact disc) revealed to you the new dimensions of
digital sounds and added to the pleasures of audio.
Compact disc technology permits a high contrast in loud as
well as in quiet passages, with perfect channel separation.
Philips has now further developed compact disc technology
and the result is the CD recorder.
With your Philips CD Recorder/Changer, you can make your
own high-quality audio CDs (subject only to legal restrictions
on copying), either by recording at normal or high speed from
the Changer to the Recorder, or by recording from an external
source. And naturally, you can also play all pre-recorded audio
CDs, using one or both decks individually.
This manual gives instructions for operating this CD recorder
where:
– the figures (
1
) throughout the text indicate a sequence of
actions necessary to perform a certain operation;
– the arrows (
➜
) indicate the reaction from the recorder;
– the dots (•) indicate remarks, advice or special options
within a sequence of actions. The dot-marked instructions
are not necessary for the required operation.
All instructions in this manual are based on control via the
keys on the set. If there are corresponding keys available on
the remote control they can be used as well.
All redundant packing material has been omitted. We have
done our utmost to make the packaging easily separable into
three mono materials: cardboard (box), polystrene foam
(buffer) and polyethylene (bags, protective foam sheet).
Your set consists of materials which can be recycled if
disassembled by a specialized company. Please observe the
local regulations regarding the disposal of packing materials,
exhausted batteries and old equipment.
