Philips 900 Series - Safety Information; Dangers and Warnings

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
DCC951
DIGITAL COMPACT CASSETTE RECORDER
PHILIPS OCC: THE COMPATIBLE
DIGITAL RECORDING S
With the DCC 951, Philigs proudly presents the
Dignat Compact Cassette (DCC) recording system
\n the same way as Compact Disc has taken over
trom vinyl records, BCC will replace the Compact
Cassette
The DCC 951 records and plays back music digital-
y, using a new design audio cassette, running at
normal Compact Cassette speed. High quality digi-
tal registration is achieved by Precision Adaptive
Sub-Coding (PASC), which is optimally matched ta
the actual characteristics of the human ear.
Features of the DCC deck include direct digital
recording with fufl 18-bit resolution, fast access to
any music track thanks to Turbo Drive wind and
fewind, sophisticated record editing and title
recording. Plus, of course the high-convenience of
the Philips 900 Series System intelligence Bus
Besides the new OCC cassettes, the DCC 951 also
plays your existing - and valuable - collection of
analogue Compact Cassettes. This autoreverse,
full logic deck knows when you insert a Compact
Cassette, and automatically switches over to its
analogue playback head. Playback sound quality is
high indeed, and there is a choice of Dolby B or C
Noise Reduction. j
“SET-AND-FORGET" LEVEL SETTING FOR
EASY DIGITAL RECORDING FROM
ANALOGUE SOURCES
For analogue inputs, record level setting is easy
because of the ample room within the high dyna-
mic range of the DCC system, and it is made easier
by the DCC 951's Up/Down record level setting
keys
What's more, the optimal level for each source
(CD, tuner and so on} only needs setting once, at
which time it is automatically stored in memory.
Thereafter, the DCC 951 always selects the memo-
fized level at the same time as the recording
source.
“APPEND” KEY FOR AUTOMATIC
RECORD SEARCH.
The Append key is a powerful too! for setting your
deck up for recording. Sequential pressing of this
key takes your first to the start of the cassette, and
then to the end of the last recorded track
Append allows you to find and directly verify
{Append-Play} and desired position to start a new
recording. In record pause mode, you can then
monitor the source to ensure errorfree recording.
Further, Append guarantees correct sequential
recording of track numbers and playing times.
A CLEAN, SLIMLINE 900 SERIES
SYSTEM COMPONENT
Slimline design and unusually clean lines: these
afe the artesting visual impressions of the DCC
951. They are the results of ingenious engineering
design. And they are supported by standards of
sound quality and easy, speedy operation not
achieved before, even in a DCC deck.
DIRECT DIGITAL RECORDING
A choice of optical and coaxial digital inputs allows
direct recording from CD, satelite radio, or any
other present of proposed digital audio source.
Direct digital recording preserves all the sound
quality of the original source, and no record level
setting is needed
RECORD EDITING
With the edit key, you control the way music pro-
grammes are recorded and the way tracks are num-
bered.
Edit lets you record a single programme on both
sides of a cassette, or seperate programmes on the
two sides, always with the option of rewinding
automatically to the start of side A.
FULL 18-BIT SYSTEM
The full 18-bit resolution of the digital recording
and playback circuits preserve ali the dynamic
Tange and resolution of the original music, without
introducing the slightest hint of distortion. This,
together with advanced PASC coding and decoding
algorithms, which mirror the actual characteristics
of the human ear, ensures superb digital sound
qualily tor listeners
State-of-the-art sigma-delta A/D and bitstream
D/A converters safeguard the integrity of the ana-
logue line inputs and outputs
SPEEDY ACCESS WITH TURBO DRIVE
The DCC 951's Turbo Drive mechanism gives you
far faster access times than a regular cassette
Mechanism. In conjunction with the DCC track fin-
ding system, this very quickly finds and Jocks on ta
any music track or the blank recording area.
TITLE RECORDING
The DCC 951 reads and displays the text informa-
tion from pre-recorded OCC cassettes, such as
aibum and track titles and the artistes’ name
What is more, the Title Recording feature lets you
use either front panel or remote contro! to secord
the titles of tracks that you record yourself (maxi-
mum 40 characters). On playback, you will see
each track title scroll into the deck's 14-character
display when the track starts to play.

ting modes to save you trouble tater on. Via the
Presets key, the deck can be set for Autoplay (when
a cassette is loaded) and Autostop: coaxial digital,

DIGITAL COMPACT CASSETTE RECORDER
ADVANCED PHILIPS TECHNOLOGY: THE
ODU 2113 DRIVE UNIT
Heart of the DCC 951 is the high-performance DDU
2113 Drive Unit. Only 61mm high, this incredibly
compact assembly contains the thin-film
record/playback head unit with 2 x 9 digital and 2
analogue tracks, all digital circuits including the
PASC encoder/decoder, the full logic controlled
autoreverse mechanism with Turbo Drive and full
record and playback control, and a smooth, motori-
zed tray loader.
THE 900 SERIES “SYSTEM
INTELLIGENCE™ BUS
This OCC deck belongs to the Philips 900 Series of
Hifi system range. And Series 900 breaks the
mould of conventional Hifi system design. With
characteristic symmetrical syling and firmly sensi-
tive touch control. With insistence on userfriendly
operation, based on a consistent control and
display philosophy combined with the “Systeni
latelligence” bus
Through the 2-way “System Intelligence” bus, 900
Series system components do far more thu
respond to conventional remote control, they inter-
act intelligently with each other.
Operation is extremely easy because the system
components do most of the work themselves. The
system's software clock/timer in the FT930 tuner,
for example, easily and conveniently controls
recording of playback on the DCC 951.
CHOICE OF DIRECT OR 900 SERIES
REMOTE CONTROL
The remote control handset supplied contols virtu-
ally all deck functions, including direct tack selec-
tion and title recording with the alphanumeric
keys. Alternatively, play, next/previous, backward,
forward, direction and stop can all be contrelled
remotely via a 900 Series amplifier and the bidirec-
tional ESI-bus.
