INSTALLATION
CHECKING THE POWER SUPPLY SETTING
• 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. 1-2)
The two red transit clamps on the bottom lockthe 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.
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 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.
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 not
to 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.
Note!
Never allow the player to stand for long periods in direct sunlight
or near a heat source._________________________________
CONNECTIONS (Fig. 4)
a Connection for the mains lead,
b OUT L R: for the connecting cable to the amplifier.
• Insert a red plug into the ’R’ socket (right-hand channel) and the
other plug into the ’L’ socket (left-hand channel).
• Insertthetwo other plugs into the corresponding sockets of the
CD or AUX input of your amplifier.
You can also use theTUNER orTAPE IN connection, but never
the PHONO input. This is not suitable for Compact Disc
reproduction.
c DIG(ITAL) OUT: for digital signal processing or future ap­
plications 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. Use here a lead with one cinch plug on either end.
Note!
Never connect this socket to a non-digital input of an amplifier,
such as AUX, CD, TAPE, PHONO, etc. This can damage the
amplifier and the loudspeakers.
d RC5IN/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 its own remote control
system.
- Connecting the remote control receiver EM 2200, available as
an accessory, if the siting of the player prevents its IR REMOTE
eye from receiving the signals from the remote control directly.
