Welcome to the world of Philips Compact Disc: the
origin of pure, perfect sound - forever.
INSTALLATION
Checking the Power Supply
The type plate, on the bottom of your Compact Disc
player, tells you the supply voltage for which the
player
is set. If your
mains
supply voltage
is
different, or becomes different in the future, get
your dealer - or our Service
Organisation - to
change the voltage setting for you.
U.K. only: lf your player is not fitted with a mains
plug, refer to 'Fitting a Mains Plug' under 'ADDI-
TIONAL INFORMATION'.
Taking Out the Transit Screws
On the bottom of the player you will see two labelled
screws which lock the player mechanism to protect
it during transportation.
Remove the screws and keep them in your docu-
mentation wallet. Always refit them if the player is to
be transported.
Siting the Player
Stand the player on a firm surface - not on any kind
of mat - and take care that the ventilation slots in the
top and rear are kept clear so as not to interfere with
the cooling of the player.
If you fit the player in a cabinet, rack or wall unit,
there should be a clear space of 3 cm all round.
Never stand the player on other equipment, or near
any heat source. Avoid positions where the player
would
be subjected to direct sunlight for long
periods.
Connecting to the Amplifier
To connect the player to your amplifier, you use the
cable supplied. This has two plugs, marked L and R,
at each end.
Connect the cable to the L and R sockets at the
back of the player, and to the CD/TV or AUX
sockets on your amplifier. If these sockets are
already in use, you can plug in to the TUNER or
TAPE IN sockets, but never the PHONO sockets!
The
PHONO
sockets
are not suitable
for the
connection of a Compact Disc player.

Your Compact Disc player is now ready for use.
