Frequently Asked Questions - AZ102C PHILIPS

How do I switch on the Philips AZ102C?

Turn the Source selector on the back/bottom panel to CD, FM, or MW to select your sound source. To switch off, set it to OFF.

Why is there no sound or power?

Check that volume is adjusted, the power cord is securely connected, or batteries are fresh and correctly inserted. If using AC power, ensure the wall socket is working.

The CD does not play or skips tracks. What should I do?

Ensure the CD is not damaged, dirty, or encoded with copyright protection. Clean the CD with a soft cloth from center outward. If the lens is foggy after temperature change, wait for it to clear. You can also use a cleaning CD.

How do I program tracks to play in a specific order?

In stop mode, press PROG. Use ◀◀ or ▶▶ to select a track, then press PROG again to store. Repeat for up to 20 tracks. Press ▶II to start the program. To erase, press ■ in program mode.

Can I connect external devices like a smartphone?

Yes, use the LINE-IN inlet on the back panel. Connect your external audio source via a 3.5 mm cable. The set automatically switches to LINE IN mode.

How do I improve radio reception?

For FM, extend, incline, and turn the telescopic antenna. If the signal is too strong, reduce its length. For MW, rotate the entire set to orient the built-in antenna.

What type of batteries does the AZ102C use and how long do they last?

It requires 6 x 1.5V R14/UM-2/C cells (preferably alkaline). Battery life depends on usage; using AC power when possible conserves batteries.

How do I clean the CD player lens?

Never touch the lens. If the player has trouble reading CDs, use a cleaning CD. Avoid abrupt temperature changes that cause condensation; let the set warm up naturally.

The display shows no reaction or erratic behavior. What's wrong?

This may be due to electrostatic discharge. Switch off and unplug the set, wait a few seconds, then reconnect. If the problem persists, consult your dealer.

Is the Philips AZ102C compatible with MP3 CDs?

No, this player only supports Audio CDs, CD-R, and CD-RW. It does not play MP3, CD-ROM, CD-I, CDV, VCD, DVD, or computer CDs.

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

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

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

Important notes for users in the U.K.

Mains plug

This apparatus is fitted with an approved 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 3 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 3 Amp. If a plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the distribution board should not be greater than 3 Amp.

Note: The severed plug must be disposed of 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.
