Thank you for selecting the Philips CDC 925 Compact
Disc Changer.
A Compact Disc Changer of the state-of-the-art Philips 900
series, the CDC 925 combines supreme playback quality
with a'high degree of user-friendliness by offering the
following possibilities:
- changing CDs during play;
- quick access to a particular CD by means of QUICK PLAY,
- storing 30 tracks from different CDs in any desired order
in the changer memory; , . .. . + .
- storing the required recording time and playing time in the
EDIT mode; ,
- full integration in ESI remote-controllable HiFi systems of
the Philips 900 series. ____
ACCESSORIES __
With this changer are supplied:
- a connection cable (ANALOG OUT);
- a remote control;
- batteries for the remote control.
POWER SUPPLY SETTING _ _
• Check that the type plate on the rear of your changer
indicates the correct supply voltage.
• If your mains supply voltage is different, consult your dealer
or our Service Organisation.
Certain versions of this changer are equipped with a voltage
selector (5), which enables you to set the changer to the
correct mains voltage yourself. When changing the vo tage
setting, it is also necessary to change the mams fuse (4) to one
of the correct rating: T200 mA (slow-blow fuse) for 110/ ,
T100 mA (slow- blow fuse) for 220 V - 230 V/ 230 V - 240 V.
FITTING A MAINS PLUG (LUC onjy[ __
This apparatus is fitted with an approved moulded 13 Amp plug.
To change a fuse in this type of plug proceed as follows:
• Remove fuse cover and fuse. c T A „
• Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 5A, A.S.T.A. or
BSI approved type.
• Refit the fuse cover.
If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should
be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place.
If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should have a value of 5A.
If a plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the distribution board
should not be greater than 5A.
NOTE: The severed plug must be destroyed to avoid a posable
shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13A socket elsewhere,
HOW TO CONNECT A PLUG
isThe wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with
the following code: BLUE - 'NEUTRAL' (N) BROWN LI. E ( L)
• The BLUE wire must be connected to the terminal which is
marked with the letter'N'or coloured BLACK.
• The BROWN wire must be connected to the terminal which
is marked with the letter 'L‘ or coloured RED.
• Do not connect either wires to the earth terminal in the p ug
which is marked by the letter 'E' or by the safety earth
symbol or coloured green or green-and-yellow.
Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord
grip is clamped over the sheath of the lead - not simply over
the two wires.
C ONNECTIONS ___
1 ANALOG OUT
For the connecting cable to the amplifier.
• Insert a red plug into the 'R' socket and the other plug into
the 'L' socket. .. . . ,
• Insert the two other plugs into the corresponding sockets ot
the CD or AUX input of your amplifier.
You can also use the TUNER or TAPE IN connection, but
never the PHONO input!

MAINTENANCE
The CDs

to edge.

for cleaning the changer.

ammonia or abrasives.
FAULTS AND THEIR LIKELY CAUSES
If a fault occurs, run through the points listed below before
taking your changer for repair. Check whether:
- condensation has formed on the lens of the laser due to a
dramatic change in temperature; this will disappear
automatically after some time;
- the CDs have been inserted correctly with the printed side
up and that there are CDs in the compartment;
- the (current) CD is dirty, badly scratched or warped;
- the changer has been connected to the PHONO socket of
the amplifier.
If the fault remains, try to clear it by switching the changer off
and on again.
If this also fails to help, consult your dealer.
Under no circumstances should you repair the changer
yourself as this will invalidate the guarantee!

system you can set the changer to STAND BY mode.
The changer will go to STAND BY mode automatically if the
whole system is set to STAND BY mode.
