GENERAL INFORMATION

Welcome !

Thank you for buying this Philips Compact Disc Recorder / CD Changer.

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/Changer, 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 Changer 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.
