INSTALLATION
UNPACKING
With this changer are supplied:
- a power supply lead;
a connection cable;
- a remote control;
- batteries for the remote control;
- a cartridge for six Compact Discs.
• Remove all packaging materials from the changer and the
accessories._______________________________________________________
CHECKING THE POWER SUPPLY SETTING
• Check that the type plate on the rear of your changer indicates
the correct supply voltage.
• If your mains supply voltage is different, consult your dealer or
our Service Organisation.___________________________________________
REMOVING THE TRANSIT CLAMPS (Fig. 1-2)
The three red transit clamps on the bottom lock the play mecha­
nism to protect it during transportation.
• Turn the changer upside down.
• Turn the clamps anti-clockwise and withdraw them from the
changer.
• Store them in the recesses provided on the rear of the changer.
If you want to transport the changer, reinsert the clamps 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 three 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 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 type R03, UM4 or AAA.
Free-standing
• Always position the changer horizontally on aflat, firm surface.
• Allow a free space of at least 3 cm above the changer so as not
to interfere with the cooling of the changer.
In an audio rack
• The changer can be sited in any desired position.
Stacked
• Site the changer preferably at the bottom or at the top.
•
Never position the changer directly on top of a high-power
amplifier, as such an amplifier gives off a substantial amount of
heat.
Warning!
Never stand the changer in persistent direct sunlight or near any
heat source._________________________________________________________
CONNECTIONS (Fig. 4)
a SYSTEM REMOTE CONTROL IN/OUT: for a remote control
system.
Use this connection for:
- Connecting up the equipment when you are incorporating the
changer in a PHILIPS HiFi system with its own remote control
system.
- Connecting the remote control receiver EM 2200, available as
an accessory, if the siting of the changer prevents its REMOTE
eye from receiving the signals from the remote control directly.
b DIG OUT: for digital signal processing or future applications
such as CD-I.
c ANALOGUE OUT:
FIX: for connection to a PHILIPS amplifier or HiFi system with its
own remote control.
VAR: for connection to an amplifier or HiFi system without its
own remote control.
• Insert a red plug into the ’R’ socket (right-hand channel) and the
other plug into the ’L’ socket (left-hand channel) of the FIX
output or the VAR output. In the case of connection via the VAR
output, the sound level can be adjusted with the — VOLUME -t-
keys on the remote control.

CD or AUX input of your amplifier.
You can also use the TUNER orTAPE IN connection, but never
the PHONO input. This is not suitable for Compact Disc
