Welcome!

Thank you for buying this Philips Compact Disc Recorder.

In the 1980s Philips invented a new audio system - the CD. The CD (compact disc) revealed the new dimensions of digital sounds and enhanced the pleasures of audio.

Compact disc technology permits a high contrast in both loud and quiet passages, with perfect channel separation. Philips has continued to develop compact disc technology and the result is the CD recorder.

With your Philips CD-Recordable/ReWritable Recorder, you can record, play and erase your own high-quality audio CDs, subject only to legal restrictions on copying.

Naturally, you will also be able to play all pre-recorded audio CDs, and combined CDs such as CD Extra.

Recordings may only be made for personal use. It is forbidden to copy material protected by copyright, including computer programs, films, television and audio recordings. This appliance may not be used for such applications.

Discs for recording

For recording use, special audio discs must be used (for music only). These Discs bear the logos as shown below. The text 'DIGITAL AUDIO' is present! Copyright fees have been paid on these discs in some countries.

With your recorder you can use two types of discs for recording purposes:

• CD-Audio Recordable (CD-R) discs: Fully recorded and finalized, these discs play on all CD players and recorders.

• CD-Audio ReWritable (CD-RW) discs: Can be recorded, erased and re-recorded hundreds of times. When finalized, they play on CD-RW compatible CD players and recorders. In the course of 1999 most Philips CD players and recorders will be CD-RW com

Discs for playback

Your CD recorder is able to play:

• All prerecorded audio CDs, and combined CDs such as CD Extra.
• All Audio CD-R and Audio CD-RW.

Note: CD-R discs recorded with a computer can only be used when they are correctly treated according the audio standard (IEC958: Consumer part). Single session only!

Maintenance

It is extremely important that the discs used for recording are free of dust and scratches.

To clean a CD, wipe it in a straight line from the center towards the outer edge using a soft, lint-free cloth. Cleaning agents may damage the disc! Write only on the printed side of a CD-R or CD-RW, 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).

If the CD recorder cannot read CDs correctly, use a cleaning CD to clean the lens before taking the CD player to be repaired. Other cleaning methods may destroy the lens. Always keep the tray closed to avoid dust on the lens.

The lenses may cloud over when the CD recorder is suddenly moved from cold to warm surroundings, making it temporarily impossible to play a CD. Leave the CD recorder in a warm environment until the moisture evaporates.

Connections general

The CD recorder has the following recording inputs:

• Digital optical input
• Digital coaxial input
• Analogue input

The CD recorder has the following playback outputs:

• Digital coaxial output
• Analogue output

The connections to be made depend upon the possibilities your audio equipment offers. Please refer to the user manuals for your other audio equipment first.

Recordings made from a digital source (CD player) via the digital optical or digital coaxial connection will 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 Analogue-Digital-Converter of your CD recorder will ensure high audio performance when recordings are made from the analogue 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-Analogue-Converter of the CD recorder ensures a high sound quality via the analogue output.

We recommend that both digital and analogue connections be made, so that analogue recordings can be made when digital recording is not possible.

The most common ways of connecting the CD recorder are explained below. If you still have difficulties with the connections, feel free to contact the Philips Consumer Service desk in your country.

Analogue connections

Use the audio cables supplied. Connect the red plugs to the R sockets, and the white plugs to the L sockets.

1 For recording, connect cable ① between the ANALOGUE IN sockets on the CD recorder and the LINE- or TAPE OUT sockets of an amplifier. (FW538)
Note: For recording directly from a CD player the analogue input of the CD recorder should be connected to the analogue output of the CD player.
2 For playback, connect cable ② between the ANALOGUE OUT sockets on the CD recorder and the input sockets of an amplifier e.g. TAPE IN, CD-R or AUX. (FW538)
Note: Never use the PHONO input.

For use with FW538:

Digital coaxial connections

Use the supplied cable with the black plugs.

1 For recording, connect the cable ③ between the DIGITAL IN socket on the CD recorder and the DIGITAL OUT socket of a CD player.

Note: Your CD recorder is equipped with a digital coaxial output. This output can be used for digital playback.

Digital optical connections

1 Remove the dust caps from the digital optical connections. (We recommend that you save the caps).
2 For recording, connect a fiber-optic cable (4) between the digital optical input of the CD recorder and the digital-optical output of a CD player. (FW538)

Note: For playback the digital coaxial output or analogue output should be connected to an amplifier.

For use with FW538:

Power supply

1 Plug the power cord supplied into the MAINS connector on the CD recorder, then into a wall socket.
2 Press ON/OFF to turn the CD recorder on.

Note:

• The CD recorder will automatically adjust to the local mains voltage.
• When the CD recorder is in the "OFF" position, it is still consuming some power. If you wish to disconnect your CD recorder completely from the mains, withdraw the plug from the AC Outlet.

Set-up recommendations

• Place the CD recorder on a solid, vibration free surface.
• Do not place the CD recorder near a source of heat or in direct sunlight.
• Do not use the CD recorder under extremely damp conditions.
• If the CD recorder is placed in a cabinet, make sure that a one-inch space remains free on all sides of the recorder for proper ventilation.

Inserting batteries in the remote control

Note: For CDR538 see Remote Control FW538.

1 Open the battery compartment cover.
2 Insert 2 batteries (AAA, R03 or UM-4; as supplied) as shown.

Inserting discs

1 Press OPEN/CLOSE (9) to open the disc tray.
2 Insert a CD, CD-R or CD-RW in the appropriate recess in the tray, label side up.

IMPORTANT:

For recording it is important that the blank disc be completely free of dust particles or scratches. (see Disc Maintenance, p.5).

3 Gently push the front of the tray or press OPEN/CLOSE to close the tray (see also Playing a CD).

The display will indicate the type of disc you have inserted.

• If a CD-R is finalized the display will indicate cd.

• If a CD-RW is finalized it is still a CD-ReWritable and the display will indicate CD REWRITABLE.

If you insert a blank or partly-recorded CD-R or CD-RW, the CD recorder will calibrate the disc for optimum recording. During this process the display will first show CPC and then the number of audio tracks previously recorded. Calibration can take up to 25 seconds.

Note: Only Audio CDs will be accepted. If a non-audio disc is inserted, the display will indicate NO AUDIO.

Remarks about recording

You will soon discover how easy it is to make your own CDs. Nevertheless, we recommend that you use a CD-RW disc for your first try. The three ways to make recordings are described below:

• Digital unsynchronized
• Digital synchronized

• Analogue

• The recording procedure is the same for CD-Rs or CD-RWs.

• If the disc is a CD-RW and is already finalized you must uninitialize it first (page 15).
• If the disc already contains recordings, the CD recorder will automatically search for the end of the last track, so that you can start recording from there.
• There must be at least 7 seconds of recording time left on the disc, or you will not be able to activate the record standby mode.
• If the display indicates COPY PROHIBIT, no digital recording can be made of the source material. Recording will not start or will stop after 4 seconds.

• The Serial Copy Management System (SCMS) only allows digital recording under specific conditions:

• It is not possible to make a digital copy from a digital copy.

• Analogue recording is always possible!

• The number of recordings from the original is unlimited.

• A maximum of 99 tracks can be recorded on a disc. The minimum allowable track length is 4 seconds.

• Digital recordings can be made from CDs (or other sources with an output Sample Frequency of 44.1kHz + / - 100ppm ) via the digital input.

Important:

If you want to play the recorded CD-R disc on a regular CD player, it must be finalized first. See finalizing discs (p.15).

Finalized CD-RW discs play only on CD-RW compatible CD players.
