As an ENERGY STAR® partner, Philips has determined that this product meets the ENERGY STAR guidelines for energy efficiency

Discs for recording

For recording, make sure to use special audio discs only. These discs are marked "Digital Audio" and with the logos shown below.

Two different types of audio discs are usable on this CD recorder:

- CD-Audio Recordable (CDR) discs

These discs can be recorded once and will play on all standard CD players and CD recorders, when finalized.

- CD-Audio ReWritable (CDRW) discs

These discs can be recorded, erased and rerecorded many times and will play on CDRW compatible CD players and CD recorders, when finalized.

All Philips CD players and CD recorders with this sticker are CDRW compatible.

To ensure proper working of the unit, 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 properly!

Recording is permissible insofar as copyright or other rights of third parties are not infringed upon.

In some countries, the use of the Philips CDR Mini Hi-Fi system as shown or suggested in this user manual may require the authorization of copyright holders.

Discs for playback

For playback on this CD changer and CD recorder you can use the following audio discs:

• All pre-recorded audio CDs
• All audio CDR and audio CDRW discs

Notes: - Do not try to play a CD-ROM, CD-I or CDV!

• CDR(W) discs, which are recorded on a computer, can only be used when they are correctly treated according to the audio standard (IEC958: Consumer part). Single session only!

CD(RW) handling

If the CDR Mini Hi-Fi system fails to read discs correctly, use a commonly available cleaning-CD to clean the lenses before submitting the unit to repair. Other cleaning methods may destroy the lenses. Always keep the trays closed to avoid dust on the lenses.

The lenses may cloud over when the unit is suddenly moved from cold to warm surroundings. Playing a CD(RW) is not possible then. Leave the unit in a warm environment until the moisture evaporates.

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

To clean a CD(RW), wipe it in a straight line from the center toward the edge using a soft, lint-free cloth. A cleaning agent may damage the disc!

CAUTION

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

Basic information

The CD recorder deck offers you 3 main functions:

• Recording from the internal CD changer and tuner or from a selected external source
• Finalizing your CDR(W) discs and unfinalizing your CDRW discs
  Erasing a CDRW disc

The recording procedure is the same for CDR and CDRW discs.

Make sure the CDR(W) is absolutely free of scratches and dust particles.

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. Otherwise Does not fit is displayed and you cannot enter the record standby mode.

DO NOT FORGET TO FINALIZE!

Finalizing a CDR(W) disc is a simple procedure, necessary to: - play a recorded CDR on a standard CD player or

• play a recorded CDRW on a CDRW compatible CD player and CD recorder.

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 copy protected material from an external source, Copy Protect will be displayed. No further digital recording is possible then.

When you try to record copy protected material from the internal CD changer, no digital recording is possible, however the CD recorder will automatically switch to analog recording.

Recording CD text

If the original CD has CD Text, this text will be recorded automatically, provided that the CD text is not copy protected. In that case, recording of CD text will not be possible and Text Protect will be displayed.

Direct Line Recording (DLR)

The CD recorder is equipped with the high-performance Direct Line Recording technique. It ensures a perfect recording of the source material, meaning a true "bit for bit" recording. DLR will always become active when you make normal recordings in listen mode.

Auto Level Control (ALC)

Auto Level Control ensures that the tracks on the recorded disc have a similar volume level. At all times the already recorded tracks of the CDR(W) disc will be taken as reference for the volume level of the following recordings. ALC is active when ALC is shown.

Auto level control becomes 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,
• a program (consisting from more than one disc) from the CD changer is being high speed recorded, or
• CD→CD is being used and the CDR(W) has recordings on it.

Auto level control will not become active when:

• CD→CD is being used and the CDR(W) has no recordings on it,
• making recordings from the FM tuner,
• making recordings from an external source, or
• making normal recordings in listen mode.

REC LEVEL key

You can adjust the reference record level. This is also possible when ALC is active. This feature can be used for fading your recordings in or out.

1 Keep REC LEVEL on the unit pressed to enable the rotary control to adjust the record level.
