Philips CD 780 - Introduction to the Compact Disc Player; Remote Control Functionality; Installation and Setup; Power Supply and Transit Clamp Checks

English
INTRODUCTION
The Compact Disc system is a major step forward in
the sphere of audio technology. By employing the
most sophisticated digital and optical technologies,
Compact Disc not only produces the ultimate in
sound reproduction, it also offers unprecedented
ease of operation, with rapid access to every track
on the disc and the possibility of programming.
Remote control
The only difference between the Compact Disc
players CD 780 and CD 781 is that the former is
supplied without and the latter with remote control.
The CD 780 is however adapted for remote control.
This allows it to be operated remotely if it is connect¬
ed to a PHILIPS HiFi-system with remote control, or
if use is made of the remote control receiver
EM 2200, available as an accessory, and one of the
transmitters RC771, RC772 or RC773.
In addition to its own remote control system, the
CD 781 also offers the possibility of remote control
via a PHILIPS HiFi-system._

INSTALLATION
CHECKING THE POWER SUPPLY SETTING
(Fi9- V
• Check that the type plate on the rear of your
player indicates the correct supply voltage.
• If your mains supply voltage is different, consult
your dealer or our Service Organisation.
REMOVING THE TRANSIT CLAMPS (Fig. 2)
The two red transit clamps on the bottom lock the
play mechanism to protect it during transportation.
• Turn the player upside down.
• Turn the clamps anti-clockwise and remove them
from the player.
• Store them in the recesses provided.
If you wish to transport the player, reinsert the
clamps and rotate them clockwise until they lock in
position.
INSERTING AND REPLACING THE BATTERIES IN
THE REMOTE CONTROL (Fig. 3, CD 781 only)
• Open the battery compartment.
• Insert the two batteries according to the diagram
in the compartment.
• Replace the cover.
The life of the batteries is around one year. Remove
them when they are flat or when you are not
intending to usethe remote controlfor sometime. In
this way you will prevent damage to the remote
control by possible battery leakage.
For replacement only use batteries of the type R03,
UM4 or AAA.
SITING THE COMPACT DISC PLAYER
Free-standing
• Always position the player horizontally on a flat,
firm surface.
• Allow a free space of at least 3 cm above the
player so as notto interfere with the cooling of the
player.
In an audio rack
• The player can be sited in any desired position.
Stacked
• Site the player preferably at the bottom or at the
top.
• Never position the player directly on top of a
high-power amplifier, as such an amplifier gives
off a substantial amount of heat.
Warning
Never allow the player to stand for long periods in
direct sunlight or near a heat source.
CONNECTIONS (Fig. 4)
a RC5 IN/OUT: for a remote control system.
Use this connection for:
- Connecting up the equipment when you are
incorporating the player in a PHILIPS HiFi-system
with remote control.
- Connecting the remote control receiver EM 2200.
b OUTLR: for the connecting cable to the am¬
plifier.
• Insert a red plug into the ’R’ socket (right-hand
channel) and the other plug into the ’L' socket
(left-hand channel).
• Insertthe two other plugs into the corresponding
sockets of the CD or AUX input of your amplifier.
You can also use the TUNER orTAPE IN connec¬
tion, but never the PHONO input. This is not
suitable for Compact Disc reproduction.
