USER MANUAL CDR800 PHILIPS

Audio CD Recorder / 3 CD Changer

CDR-800

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:

1 Remove fuse cover and fuse.
2 Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 5 Amp, A.S.T.A. or BSI approved type.
3 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 e) 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.

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 set 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.

In certain countries including the UK and certain Commonwealth countries, use of the product as shown or suggested in this user manual may require the permission of copyright holders.

• All pre-recorded audio CDs
• All audio CDR and audio CDRW discs
• MP3-CDs (CD-ROMs with MP3 tracks) - make sure filename ends with .mp3

Note: CDR(W) discs that are not finalized can only be played in the CD recorder tray.

CAUTION

INVISIBLE RADIATION WHEN OPEN.

AVOID EXPOSURE TO BEAM.

Note: This warning is located inside the enclosure.

General information

Some words about MP3

The revolutionary new music compression technology MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer-3) enables to shrink down original digital audio sound data with a factor of up to 10 without losing significant sound quality. This allows you to record up to 10 hours of CD-like quality music on a single CD-ROM.

Making your own MP3-CD

Basically there are two sources for MP3 music on CD. You can either create (“rip”) it from your own digital audio CDs or download legal MP3 music from the Internet.

Record (“burn”) the music from your hard disc on CD-ROM with your home PC (make sure filename ends with .mp3). Once finished, you can play your MP3-CD on this set and enjoy the music.

Data rate

The data rate is of great importance with MP3. It indicates how fast bits are transferred.

Stereo music on a CD shows a data rate of about 1400 kilobits per second (kbps). To achieve a good MP3 quality a bit rate of 128 kbps is recommended.

As the encoding rate is user-selectable, make sure to reach this data rate for MP3 as recordings less than 128 kbps will suffer from a degradation in sound quality.

Recording

Downloading MP3 files from the Internet or ripping songs from your own digital audio CDs is a delicate process, also influenced by the quality of the encoder program and speed of your PC. This may sometimes result in “drop-outs” which you may experience while listening to your MP3-CD.

In any case make sure to use a recording speed not faster than indicated on the CD-ROM and avoid running other programs simultaneously on your PC during the recording process.

It is not possible to "burn" an MP3-CD on this CD recorder.

It is not possible to record from an MP3-CD.

Supported formats

Following formats are supported on this

CD recorder/changer:

• Disc format: ISO 9660 or Joliet
• Filename: .mp3 (tracks), .m3u or .pls (playlists)
• Bit rate: 32–320 kbps (128 kbps advised) or variable bit rate

Note: Use the ISO 9660 disc format when burning the CD-ROM. UDF disc format (e.g. "DirectCD" or "WinOnCD") is not supported.

Maintenance

Clean the set with a soft, slightly dampened lint-free cloth. Do not use any cleaning agents as they may have a corrosive effect.

Warning symbol with crossed-out black lines and plastic bottle illustrations

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

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.

Disc handling

For recording it is very important to use dust and scratch free discs.

To take a CD(RW) out of its box easily, press the centre spindle while lifting the CD(RW). Always pick up a CD(RW) by the edge and put it back 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

Making a program for recording

If the program is used for recording only tracks from discs in the changer should be programmed. Also see chapter "Recording a program".

Basic information

We will describe:

• Recording from internal CD changer
• Recording from an external source
• Finalizing CDR(W) discs:

Finalizing a CDR(W) disc is a simple procedure, necessary to:

– play a recorded CDR on a standard CD player;
- play a recorded CDRW on a CDRW compatible CD player.

- Unfinalizing CDRWdiscs:

Necessary to add new recordings to the disc or to erase the disc.

- Erasing from CDRWdiscs

☐ The recording procedure is the same for CDR and CDRW discs. Make sure that the CDR(W) is absolutely free of scratches and dust particles.
- It is advisable to use a CDRW disc for your first try.
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. Else, DISC FULL is displayed and you cannot enter into the record mode. If the length of the source material is longer than the remaining recording time on the CDR(W) DOES NOT FIT is displayed.
- CD TEXT on the original CD is recorded automatically. When a track with copy protected text is encountered TEXT PROTECT will be displayed.

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.

When you try to record a copy protected material from an external source, COPY PROTECT will be displayed. No further digital recording is possible then.

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 analog recording. It is not possible to copy an MP3-CD.

Remarks on recording

○ Recording can be stopped manually by pressing STOP ■ otherwise recording will stop automatically.
During recording the elapsed recording time can be checked by pressing DISPLAY.

Direct Line Recording (DLR)

The CD recorder is equipped with the high-performance Direct Line Recording (DLR) technique. It ensures a perfect recording of the source material, meaning a true “bit for bit” recording. DLR will not be active, when ALC is used or when the record level is adjusted.

Auto Level Control (ALC)

Auto Level Control ensures that the tracks on the recorded disc have a similar volume level. Always the already recorded tracks of the CDR(W) disc will be taken as reference for the volume level of the following recordings.

Auto level control becomes automatically 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.

Auto level control will not become active, when:

• using COPY CD,
  – making recordings from an external source, or
• making normal recordings in listen mode.

Switching ALC permanently off

1 If necessary press STOP ■ to stop playback.
2 Press CDR to select the CD recorder.
3 Press REC LEVEL to select: → ALC OFF: ALC is permanently switched off.
To enable ALC press REC LEVEL again to select: → RLC ON: ALC is enabled.

External recording

Analog or digital recording

When making recordings from an external source, we recommend to do analog recording only if digital recording is not possible. Digital recording will usually result in better sound quality.

See chapter “Connections” to see which connections are required.

Automatic track increment for analog sources

BRIGHTNESS ABC ① TRACK INCR. DEF ② CD TEXT GHI ③

When digitally recording from a CD player/changer (internal or external) track increments are automatically taken over from the source. When recording from analog sources (RUX ANALOG), track increment is done, based on silences (pauses) in the source material. Select one of the following settings with the TRACK INCR(ement) key on the remote control:

→ [I', II', I]: when recording from CD, DAT, DCC or DVD;
→ TAPE/TUNER: when recording from a cassette deck or tuner;
→ TURNTABLE: when recording from a record player,
→ MANUAL: switches the function off.
Default setting is TAPE/TUNER.

Notes:

Auto track increment is dependant on the quality of the source material and therefore not always possible.

Track numbers can always be incremented manually by pressing TRACK INCR(ement) on the remote control during recording. The minimum track length is 4 seconds.

Généralités

(Dé)finalisation, effacement

Stereo music on a CD shows a data rate of about 1400 kilobits per second (kbps). To achieve a good MP3 quality a bit rate of 128 kbps is recommended. As the encoding rate is user-selectable, make sure to reach this data rate for MP3 as recordings less than 128 kbps will suffer from a degradation in sound quality.
