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 can be recorded on once and

played on all standard CD players and CD recorders, when finalized.

– CD-Audio ReWritable (CDRW) discs can be recorded on, erased and re-recorded many times and played 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!

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

In some countries the use of the

CD player/recorder as shown or suggested in this user manual may require the authorization of copyright holders.

Discs for playback

For playback on this CD player/recorder you can use the following discs:

–All pre-recorded audio CDs

–All audio CDR and audio CDRW discs

–MP3-CDs (CD-ROMs with MP3 tracks)

Some words about MP3

The revolutionary new music compression technology MP3 (MPEG ! Audio Layer-3) enables shrinking down of 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 transfer music from your own digital audio CDs via CD-ROM drive onto your PC and encode it into MP3 format (“rip”) 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 CD player/recorder and enjoy the music.

Data rate

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

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 the speed of your PC.This may sometimes result in “drop-outs” or errors 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.

In compliance with the SDMI (Secure Digital Music Initiative) the digital outputs of this unit will be deactivated when playing an MP3-CD.

It is not possible to “burn” an MP3-CD on this CD player/recorder.

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

Supported formats

The following formats are supported on this

CD player/recorder:

–Disc format: ISO 9660 or Joliet

–File format: MPEG ! Audio Layer-3

–Filename: .mp3 (tracks), .m3u or .pls (playlists)

–Bit rate: 32–320 kbps (128 kbps advised) or variable bit rate

Use ISO 9660 disc format when burning the MP3-CD.

UDF disc format (e.g.“DirectCD” or “WinOnCD”) is not supported.
