GENERAL INFORMATION

Discs for recording

For recording, make sure to use special audio discs only. These discs are marked “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 These discs can be recorded on once and play on all standard CD players and

CD recorders, when finalized.

CD-Audio ReWritable (CDRW) discs These discs can be recorded on, erased and re-recorded many times and play 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 set 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 properly!

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

In some countries the use of the Philips CDR Mini Hi-Fi system as shown or suggested in this user manual may require the authorization of copyright holders.

CD(RW) handling

If the CDR Mini Hi-Fi system fails to read discs correctly use a commonly available cleaning-CD to clean the lenses before submitting the set to repair. Other cleaning methods may destroy the lenses. Always keep the trays closed to avoid dust on the lenses.

The lenses may cloud over when the set is suddenly moved from cold to warm surroundings. Playing a CD(RW) is not possible then. Leave the set in a warm environment until the moisture evaporates.

To take a CD(RW) out of its box easily, press the centre spindle while lifting the CD(RW). Always pick up a CD(RW) by the edge and put it back in its box after use. Never write on a CD or attach a sticker to it. Write only on the printed side of a CDR or CDRW, and only with a soft felt-tipped pen.

To clean a CD(RW), wipe it in a straight line from the centre toward the edge using a soft, lint-free cloth. A cleaning agent may damage the disc!
