_ INTRODUCTION
Compact Disc is the biggest advance ever made in
audio technology. By employing the most sophisti-
cated digital and optical technologies, Compact
Disc not only produces the ultimate in sound
reproduction, it gives you the user, access to
operating features such as a unique multiple
programming possibility which have never seen
before in audio equipment designed for the home.
As the owner of a new Philips Compact Disc player,
you are one of the priviledged few people able to
enjoy this experience.
Below you will find the instructions for installing,
operating and programming your Philips Com-
pact Disc player. Please read them carefully and
follow the instructions step by step. We have kept
them as short and concise as possible as we know
how anxious you are to hear your Compact Disc
player for the very first time.
Elsewhere in the user’s pack, you will find useful
information about Compact Disc. To help you
understand the revolutionary nature of the product
you have bought, there are separate booklets on
laser and digital technologies. The complimentary
disc enclosed in the user’s pack will illustrate to
your family and friends the full capability of your new
Compact Disc player. And there is a complete
catalogue of all the Compact Disc titles available for
you to buy.
Welcome to the world of Philips Compact Disc: the
origin of pure, perfect sound - forever.
INSTALLATION
Checking the Power Supply
The type plate, on the bottom of your Compact Disc
player, tells you the supply voltage for which the
player is set. If your mains supply voltage is
different, or becomes different in the future, get
your dealer - or our Service Organisation - to
change the voltage setting for you.
U.K. only: lf your player is not fitted with a mains
plug, refer to ’Fitting a Mains Plug’ under ’ADDI-
TIONAL INFORMATION’.
Taking Out the Transit Screws
On the bottom of the player you will see two labelled
screws which lock the player mechanism to protect
it during transportation.
Remove the screws and keep them in your docu-
mentation wallet. Always refit them if the player is to
be transported.
Siting the Player
Stand the player on a firm surface - not on any kind
of mat - and take care that the ventilation slots in the
top and rear are kept clear so as not to interfere with
the cooling of the player.
If you fit the player in a cabinet, rack or wall unit,
there should be a clear space of 3 cm all round.
Never stand the player on other equipment, or near
any heat source. Avoid positions where the player
would be subjected to direct sunlight for long
periods.
Connecting to the Amplifier
To connect the player to your amplifier, you use the
cable supplied. This has two plugs, marked L and R,
at each end.
Connect the cable to the L and R sockets at the
back of the player, and to the CD/TV or AUX
sockets on your amplifier. If these sockets are
already in use, you can plug in to the TUNER or
TAPE IN sockets, but never the PHONO sockets!
The PHONO sockets are not suitable for the
connection of a Compact Disc player.

Your Compact Disc player is now ready for use.
