GENERAL INFORMATION

Welcome !

Thank you for buying this Philips Compact Disc Recorder / Player Double Deck.

In the eighties Philips invented a new audio system - the CD. The CD (compact disc) revealed to you the new dimensions of digital sounds and added to the pleasures of audio.

Compact disc technology permits a high contrast in loud as well as in quiet passages, with perfect channel separation. Philips has now further developed compact disc technology and the result is the CD recorder.

With your Philips CD recorder/player, you can make your own high-quality audio CDs (subject only to legal restrictions on copying), either by recording at normal or high speed from the Player to the Recorder, or by recording from an external source. And naturally, you can also play all pre-recorded audio CDs, using one or both decks individually, or together as a 2- deck changer.

Note: In certain countries including the UK and certain Commonwealth countries, use of the product (or CD Recorder) as shown or suggested in this user manual may require the permission of copyright holders.

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. The CDR775/777 supports both CD-R and CD-RW media, enabling users to choose between permanent and rewritable audio formats.

The front panel features an easy-to-read display and straightforward controls, making navigation simple for users of all experience levels. 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.

In essence, the Philips CDR775/777 is more than a simple CD recorder; it is a versatile tool for any audio lover.
