Discs for playback

Your CD recorder is able to play:

-All pre-recorded audio CDs.

-All Audio CDR and Audio CDRW.

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

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

To clean a CD, 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! Write only on the printed side of a CDR or CDRW, 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).

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. It is not possible to play a CD then. Leave the CD recorder in a warm environment until the moisture evaporates.

The Philips CDR775/777 is a pioneering product in the realm of digital audio, specifically designed for users who appreciate the ability to record audio directly onto CD. Introduced in the late 1990s, this device stands out not only for its recording capabilities but also for its robust set of features that cater to audio enthusiasts.

One of the primary features of the CDR775/777 is its dual function as both a CD player and a CD recorder. It allows users to effortlessly play their favorite CDs while also providing the ability to create audio CDs from various sources. This is particularly convenient for individuals looking to create their own compilations or preserve favorite vinyl records and cassette tapes in digital format.

The device uses a sophisticated digital-to-analog converter (DAC) that ensures high-fidelity sound reproduction. The inclusion of technologies like Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) enhances audio clarity and reduces distortion, providing a rich listening experience.

It allows for the easy selection of tracks, programming of playlists, and even offers features like track naming for more personalized recordings.

The CDR775/777 also includes advanced features such as automatic track incrementing, which detects silence between tracks and automatically separates them as individual tracks on the recorded CD. This is particularly beneficial for live recordings where the artist may pause between songs. Additionally, the ability to connect to external audio sources through standard RCA inputs broadens the versatility of this device, allowing for recordings from a variety of devices.

In terms of build quality, the CDR775/777 is constructed with durability in mind, featuring a solid chassis that helps reduce vibration and interference during playback and recording. The emphasis on quality extends to its playback capabilities, supporting a wide range of audio formats.
