HANDLING CHIP COMPONENTS
GB
WARNING
All ICs and many other semi-conductors are
susceptible to electrostatic discharges (ESD).
Careless handling during repair can reduce life
drastically.
When repairing, make sure that you are
connected with the same potential as the mass
of the set via a wrist wrap with resistance.
Keep components and tools also at this
potential.
F
ATTENTION
Tous les IC et beaucoup d’autres
semi-conducteurs sont sensibles aux
décharges statiques (ESD).
Leur longévité pourrait être considérablement
écourtée par le fait qu’aucune précaution n’est
prise à leur manipulation.
Lors de réparations, s’assurer de bien être relié
au même potentiel que la masse de l’appareil et
enfiler le bracelet serti d’une résistance de
sécurité.
Veiller à ce que les composants ainsi que les
outils que l’on utilise soient également à ce
potentiel.
ESD
D
WARNUNG
Alle ICs und viele andere Halbleiter sind
empfindlich gegenüber elektrostatischen
Entladungen (ESD).
Unsorgfältige Behandlung im Reparaturfall kan
die Lebensdauer drastisch reduzieren.
Veranlassen Sie, dass Sie im Reparaturfall über
ein Pulsarmband mit Widerstand verbunden
sind mit dem gleichen Potential wie die Masse
des Gerätes.
Bauteile und Hilfsmittel auch auf dieses gleiche
Potential halten.
NL
WAARSCHUWING
Alle IC’s en vele andere halfgeleiders zijn
gevoelig voor electrostatische ontladingen
(ESD).
Onzorgvuldig behandelen tijdens reparatie kan
de levensduur drastisch doen verminderen.
Zorg ervoor dat u tijdens reparatie via een
polsband met weerstand verbonden bent met
hetzelfde potentiaal als de massa van het
apparaat.
Houd componenten en hulpmiddelen ook op
ditzelfde potentiaal.
I
AVVERTIMENTO
Tutti IC e parecchi semi-conduttori sono
sensibili alle scariche statiche (ESD).
La loro longevità potrebbe essere fortemente
ridatta in caso di non osservazione della più
grande cauzione alla loro manipolazione.
Durante le riparazioni occorre quindi essere
collegato allo stesso potenziale che quello della
massa dell’apparecchio tramite un braccialetto
a resistenza.
Assicurarsi che i componenti e anche gli utensili
con quali si lavora siano anche a questo
potenziale.
“Pour votre sécurité, ces documents
doivent être utilisés par des spécia-
listes agréés, seuls habilités à réparer
votre appareil en panne”.
GB
Safety regulations require that the set be restored to its original
condition and that parts which are identical with those specified,
be used.
NL
Veiligheidsbepalingen vereisen, dat het apparaat bij reparatie in
zijn oorspronkelijke toestand wordt teruggebracht en dat onderdelen,
identiek aan de gespecificeerde, worden toegepast.
F
Les normes de sécurité exigent que l’appareil soit remis à l’état
d’origine et que soient utiliséés les piéces de rechange identiques
à celles spécifiées.
D
Bei jeder Reparatur sind die geltenden Sicherheitsvorschriften zu
beachten. Der Original zustand des Geräts darf nicht verändert werden;
für Reparaturen sind Original-Ersatzteile zu verwenden.
I
Le norme di sicurezza esigono che l’apparecchio venga rimesso
nelle condizioni originali e che siano utilizzati i pezzi di ricambio
identici a quelli specificati.
"After servicing and before returning set to customer perform a
leakage current measurement test from all exposed metal parts to
earth ground to assure no shock hazard exist. The leakage current
must not exceed 0.5mA."

Part 15 and with 21 CFR 1040.10.
Operation is subject to the following two
conditions:
– This device may not cause harmful
interference, and
– This device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.
Environmental Information
All unnecessary packaging has been omitted.We
have tried to make the packaging easy to
separate into three materials: cardboard (box),
polystyrene foam (buffer) and polyethylene (bags,
protective foam sheet).
Your system consists of materials which can be
recycled and reused if disassembled by a
specialized company. Please observe the local
regulations regarding the disposal of packaging
materials, exhausted batteries and old
equipment.
Acknowledgement
Energy Star
As an ENERGY STAR
R
Partner, Philips has
determined that this product
meets the ENERGY STAR
R
guidelines for energy efficiency (for model
FW-C550 only).
Supplied accessories
– Remote control
– Batteries (two AA size) for remote control
–AM loop antenna
– FM wire antenna
–AC power cord
Safety Information
●Before operating the system, check that the
operating voltage indicated on the typeplate (or
the voltage indication beside the voltage
selector) of your system is identical with the
voltage of your local power supply. If not, please
consult your dealer.
●Place the system on a flat, hard and stable
surface.
●Place the system in a location with adequate
ventilation to prevent internal heat build-up in
your system. Allow at least 10 cm (4 inches)
clearance from the rear and the top of the unit
and 5 cm (2 inches) from each side.
●Do not expose the system, batteries or discs to
excessive moisture, rain, sand or heat sources
caused by heating equipment or direct sunlight.
●If the system is brought directly from a cold to a
warm location, or is placed in a very damp room,
moisture may condense on the lens of the disc
unit inside the system. Should this occur, the CD
player would not operate normally. Leave the
power on for about one hour with no disc in the
system until normal playback is possible.
●The mechanical parts of the set contain self-
lubricating bearings and must not be oiled or
lubricated.
●When the system is switched to Standby
mode, it is still consuming some power.
To disconnect the system from the
power supply completely, remove the AC
power plug from the wall socket.

Preparations
Rear Connections
The type plate is located at the rear of the
system.
A
Power
Before connecting the AC power cord to the
wall outlet, ensure that all other connections
have been made.
WARNING!
–For optimal performance, use only the
original power cable.
–Never make or change connections with
the power switched on.
To avoid overheating of the system, a safety
circuit has been built in. Therefore, your
system may switch to Standby mode
automatically under extreme conditions. If
this happens, let the system cool down
before reusing it (not available for all versions).
B
Antennas Connection
Connect the supplied AM loop antenna and FM
antenna to the respective terminals. Adjust the
position of the antenna for optimal reception.

Optional Connection
The optional equipment and connecting cords
are not supplied. Refer to the operating
instructions of the connected equipment for
details.
Connecting other equipment to your
system
Connect the audio left and right OUT terminals
of a TV,VCR, Laser Disc player, DVD player or
CD Recorder to the AUX/CDR IN terminals.
Note:
– If you are connecting equipment with a
monaural output (a single audio out terminal),
connect it to the AUX/CDR IN left terminal.
Alternatively, you can use a “single to double” cinch
cable (still be mono sound).
Inserting batteries into the
Remote Control
Insert two batteries (Type R06 or AA) into the
remote control with the correct polarity as
indicated by the +and -symbols inside the
battery compartment.
