Frequently Asked Questions - AZ1060 PHILIPS

How can I tune a radio station on my AZ1060?

Select the TUNER source, then press BAND to select the frequency band (FM, MW or LW). Press SEARCH « or » to start automatic search. Release as soon as the frequency scrolls. For manual tuning, press SEARCH briefly and repeatedly.

What to do if the CD does not play or displays 'No CD'?

Check that a CD is inserted correctly (printed side up). If the CD is scratched or dirty, clean it with a soft cloth from the center to the edge. If the display shows 'NO SEL' or 'FULL', this concerns programming. Wait for the lens to defog in case of condensation.

How to program the playback of CD tracks in a custom order?

In Stop mode, use SEARCH to select the desired track, then press PROG. Repeat for each track (up to 20). Then press PLAY/PAUSE to start program playback.

Why is there no sound even though the device is on?

Check the volume setting (VOLUME) and that headphones are not plugged in (they disable the speakers). Make sure the mains cord is properly connected or the batteries are in good condition. If BATT LOW is lit, replace the batteries.

How to record from CD to cassette?

Select the CD source, insert a CD and a blank NORMAL (IEC I) cassette. Press RECORD ● to start synchronized recording: CD playback starts automatically. You can also start recording manually by pressing PLAY/PAUSE at the desired moment.

Can I use Chrome or Metal cassettes for recording?

No, the AZ1060's cassette deck is not suitable for Chrome (IEC II) or Metal (IEC IV) cassettes. Use only NORMAL (IEC I) cassettes to ensure optimal recording quality.

How to improve FM reception?

Fully extend the telescopic antenna and tilt or turn it to get the best signal. If the signal is too strong (close to a transmitter), reduce the antenna length. For MW/LW, turn the device itself as the antenna is built-in.

What to do if the cassette sound quality is poor?

Clean the magnetic heads, capstan and pinch rollers with a cotton swab dipped in alcohol or a special cleaning product. If the problem persists, check that you are using NORMAL (IEC I) cassettes. Chrome or Metal cassettes may give poor sound.

How to activate the Philips demonstration mode?

Press the CD STOP button for 5 seconds. After about 30 seconds, 'PHILIPS' scrolls on the display. To exit this mode, press any function key or hold CD STOP for 5 seconds until 'IPS' scrolls once.

What types of batteries should I use and how to replace them?

Use six R-20, UM-1 or D cells (preferably alkaline). Open the compartment at the back, insert the batteries respecting the indicated polarities (+ and -). Do not mix old and new batteries, nor different types. Remove the batteries if the device is not used for a long time.

USER MANUAL AZ1060 PHILIPS

Important notes for users in the U.K.

Mains plug

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 12 ) 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 Performer's Protection Acts 1958 to 1972.

CAUTION

Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure or other unsafe operation.

Whenever convenient, use the AC mains supply if you want to conserve battery life. Make sure you remove the plug from the set and wall socket before inserting batteries.

BATTERIES (OPTIONAL)

1. Open the battery compartment and insert six batteries, type R-20, UM-1 or D-cells, (preferably alkaline) with the correct polarity as indicated by the "+" and "-" symbols inside the compartment.

2. Replace the compartment door, making sure the batteries are firmly and correctly in place. The set is now ready to operate.

3. If BATT LOW lights up, battery power is running low.

4. The BATT LOW indicator eventually goes out if the batteries are too weak.

Incorrect use of batteries can cause electrolyte leakage and will corrode the compartment or cause the batteries to burst. Therefore:

• Do not mix battery types: e.g. alkaline with carbon zinc. Only use batteries of the same type for the set.
• When inserting new batteries, do not try to mix old batteries with the new ones.
• Remove the batteries if the set is not to be used for a long time.

Batteries contain chemical substances, so they should be disposed of properly.

For users in the U.K.: please follow the instructions on page 2.
