INSTALLATION
CHECKING THE POWER SUPPLY
The
type
plate
on
the
back
of
your
player
indicates
the
power
voltage for which it is set.
Important!
Certain
versions
of
this
player
are
equipped
with
a
voltage
selector
(f),
which
enables
you
to
set
the
player
to
the
correct
voltage
yourself.
When
changing
the
voltage
setting
from
220/
240 Vto 110/127 Vor vice versa, it is also necessary to change the
fuse to one of the correct rating.
Replacing the fuse
•
Using a screwdriver, remove the fuse holder (g).
•
Remove the old fuse and replace with a fuse of the correct
rating (300 mA for 110/127 V; 160 mA for 220/240 V).
•
Replace the fuse holder.________________________________________________
REMOVING THE TRANSIT CLAMPS
(Fig. 1-2)
The two red transit clamps on the bottom of the unit lock the play
mechanism to protect it during transportation.
• Turn the player upside down.
• Turn the clamps counter-clockwise and remove them from the
player.
•
Store them in the recesses provided.
Replace the clamps if you wish to transport the player. To do this,
turn
the
player
upside
down,
insert
the
clamps
in
the
holes
provided and rotate them clockwise until they lock in position.
* •
INSERTING
AND
REPLACING
THE
BATTERIES
IN
THE
REMOTE
CONTROL
(Fig. 3)
•
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
exhausted
or
when
you
are
not
intending
to
use
the
remote control for some time.
In
this
way
you
will
prevent
damage
to
the
remote
control
by
possible battery leakage.
For replacement only use batteries of the
AAA
type.__________________________
PLACING THE COMPACT DISC PLAYER
Free-Standing
• Always position the player horizontally on a flat, firm surface.
•
Allow a free space of at least 1V4" above the player so as not to
interfere with the cooling of the player.
In an audio rack
• The player can be placed in any desired position.
Stacked
•
Place 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.
Important!
Never
allow
the
player
to
stand
for
long
periods
in
direct
sunlight
or near a heat source._____________________________________________________
CONNECTIONS
(Fig. 4)
a Socket for the power cord
b
DIGITAL
OUTPUT
COAX:
for
digital
signal
processing
or
future
applications
such
as
CD-I.
This
output
supplies
a
digital
signal
and
can
therefore
only
be
connected
to
an
input
which
is
suitable
for
this
signal.
This
cord
will
use
one
cinch
plug
on
either end.
Important!
Never
connect
this
jack
to
a
non-digital
input
of
an
amplifier,
such
as
AUX,
CD,
TAPE,
PHONO,
etc.
This
can
damage
the
amplifier and the speakers.
c REMOTE CONTROL OUT IN: for a remote control system.
Use these jacks for connecting up the equipment when you are
incorporating the player in a PHILIPS HiFi system with com
patible RC5 remote jacks and its own remote control system,
d DIGITAL OUTPUT OPTICAL: this output supplies a digital signal
via an optical path; for this reason it can only be connected to
a Digital Analog Converter, an amplifier with an optical digital
input or a digital sound processor. For this use the optical cord
supplied.
This output is covered with a little cap which should only be
removed when the output is in use.
e ANALOGUE OUTPUT FIXED: for connection to the amplifier.
•
Insert a red plug into the ’R’ jack (right channel) and the other
plug into the ’L’ jack (left channel).
•
Insert
the
two
other
plugs
into
the
corresponding
jacks
of
the
CD or AUX input of your amplifier.
You can also use the TUNER or TAPE IN connection, but
never
the
PHONO
input.
This
is
not
suitable
for
Compact
Disc
reproduction.
