For playback on the CD recorder from the CD changer deck the
following outputs are present:
– Digital coaxial output (CD & CD-R)
– Analog output (CD & CD-R)
We advise you to connect these to the TAPE or CD-R input on
your amplifier.
For external recording the following inputs are present:
– Digital optical input
– Digital coaxial input
– Analog input (stereo)
The connections you make will depend upon the possibilities
your audio equipment offers. Please refer to the user manuals
for your other audio equipment first.
Digital recordings (optical or coaxial) 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 Analog-Digital-Convertor of your set will ensure very
good audio performance when recordings are made from the
analog 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-Analog-Convertor of the set ensures a very
good sound quality via the analog output.
We advise you to always establish both digital and analog
connections. In this way you can always make analog
recordings when digital recording is not possible.
We have described the most common ways of connecting the
CD recorder. If you still have difficulties with the connections
you can always contact the Philips Consumer Service desk in
your country.
This connection must be made for playback on the CD
recorder deck as well as the CD changer deck (cord 2).
Cord 1 is only required if you want to make recordings from
an external analog source.
Use the audio cords supplied. Connect the red plugs to the
R jacks, and the white plugs to the L jacks.
1For external recording, connect cord 1between the
ANALOG IN-jacks on the set and the CDR LINE- or TAPE
OUT-jacks of an amplifier.
Note: For recording directly from a CD player or tape deck, the
analog input of the set should be connected to the
analog output of the CD player or tape deck.
2For playback, connect cord 2between the ANALOG OUT-
jacks on the set and the input jacks of an amplifier e.g.
TAPE IN, CD-R or AUX.
Note: Never use the PHONO input.

This connection is required if you want to make recordings
from an external CD player with a digital coaxial output.
1For external recording, connect the cord 3between the
DIGITAL IN-jack on the set and the DIGITAL OUT-jack of an
external CD player.
Note: Your set is equipped with a digital coaxial output
(common output for CD recorder & CD changer deck).
This output can be used for digital playback. (e.g.
Philips receiver FR960 or FR970.)
This connection is required if you want to make recordings
from an external CD player with a digital optical output.
When connecting the Digital
Optical cord, make sure it
is fully inserted until
there is a click.
1Remove the dust caps from the digital optical connection.
(We recommend you save the cap.)
2For external recording, connect a fibre-optic cord 4
between the digital optical input of the set and the digital-
optical output of an external CD player.
Note: For playback, the digital coaxial outputs or analog
outputs of the CD Changer and CD recorder should be
connected to an amplifier.
