INSTALLATION

Connections general Analogue connections

The CD recorder has the following recording inputs:

-Digital optical input

-Digital coaxial input

-Analogue input

The CD recorder has the following playback outputs:

-Digital coaxial output

-Analogue output

The connections to be made depend upon the possibilities your audio equipment offers. Please refer to the user manuals for your other audio equipment first.

Recordings made from a digital source (CD player) via the digital optical or digital coaxial connection will give the best performance in audio and usability (e.g. auto-track).

(The digital optical connection is less sensitive to external disturbances).

If your equipment does not offer digital connections, the high quality Analogue-Digital-Converter of your CD recorder will ensure high audio performance when recordings are made from the analogue input.

Playback via the digital coaxial output of the CD recorder gives the best audio performance. If your equipment does not offer digital connections the high quality Digital-Analogue- Converter of the CD recorder ensures a high sound quality via the analogue output.

We recommend that both digital and analogue connections be made, so that analogue recordings can be made when digital recording is not possible.

The most common ways of connecting the CD recorder are explained below. If you still have difficulties with the connections, feel free to contact the Philips Consumer Service desk in your country.
