Philips CD 100 - Player and Disc Maintenance; U.K. Plug Fitting and Troubleshooting

play LEDs will relight and stay alight until the disc is
finished. At the same time, the TRACK Display LED
will go out and stay out. From now on the music will
still be heard, but without further visual indication of
the progress of play.
All the functions of the player will remain operative
during the whole period of play, except the GO-
TO mode. This can only be used for the first
15 tracks.
Programming, both ’Add-in’ and Take-out’, will also
be limited to the first 15 tracks; higher numbered
tracks cannot be stored in the memory.
Player Maintenance
The player mechanism is fitted with self-lubricating
bearings, and must not be oiled or greased.
You can clean the cabinet, when necessary, with a
chamois leather slightly moistened with water. Do
not use cleaning agents containing alcohol, spirits
or ammonia.
The disc compartment (A) and the spindle (B)
should be kept free of dust. Be careful while
cleaning in the area of the laser pick-up.
You can clean the lens (C) of the laser pick-up with
a cotton wool bud, moistened with distilled water if
there is a film on the lens. Do not press too hard!
The disc pressure plate in the disc compartment
cover incorporates a magnet. Make sure that this
does not attract any metal objects.
Disc Maintenance
Although the music track in the disc is covered with
a protective layer, it is still advisable to treat the disc
carefully. As long as you always pick up discs by the
edge, and put them back in their holders immedi-
ately after use, cleaning will not normally be
necessary.
However, should fingerprints, dust or dirt appear,
you can wipe them off with the disc duster in your
documentation wallet. You can breathe on the disc
first if necessary, but detergent or abrasive clean-
ing agents must never be used, nor must be
cleaning agents for conventional gramophone
' records!
. Warning
Because of the magnetic fields produced by the
magnet in the disc pressure plate and the power
transformer in the player itself, it is advisable not to
stand audio or video cassettes on the player.
Fitting a Mains plug (U.K. only)
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in
accordance with the following code:
Blue - Neutral Brown - Live
As these colours may not correspond with the
colour markings identifying the terminals in your
plug proceed as follows:
The Brown wire must be connected to the terminal
which is marked with the letter L or coloured Red.
The Blue wire must be connected to the terminal
which is marked with the letter N or coloured Black.
Note: This apparatus must be protected by a 3 amp
fuse if a 13 amp plug is used, or, if any other type of
plug is used, by a 5 amp fuse either in the plug or
adapter, or at the distribution board. If in doubt
consult a qualified electrician.
Faults and their Likely Causes
Although the greatest care has been taken in the
manufacture of this Compact Disc player, the
possibility remains that a fault could appear or that
for some reason the player fails to function to your
complete satisfaction.
The cause, however, will certainly not always be
found in the player itself. External factors, and the
fact that it takes time to become acustomed to the
whole concept of the new product and the new
discs, can also play a role.
To save you unnecessary calls on your dealer or our
Service Organisation, we have compiled a list of
possible faults and their causes. To even mention —
some of these causes, such as those to do with
mains connection, may perhaps seem excessive.
Our experience shows, however, that they are
easily overlooked as sources of trouble.
If, by using this list, you do not succeed in solving
the problem, stop your investigation. Disconnect
the mains plug and phone your dealer or the
telephone number applicable to your region. They
will be able to advise you what to do next.
Under no circumstances should you open up the
player; this will invalidate all rights under the
guarantee.

latch in.

works.
