GENERAL INFORMATION English Welcome ! Thank you for buying this Philips Compact Disc Recorder / Player Double Deck. In the eighties Philips invented a new audio system - the CD. The CD (compact disc) revealed to you the new dimensions of digital sounds and added to the pleasures of audio. Compact disc technology permits a high contrast in loud as well as in quiet passages, with perfect channel separation. Philips has now further developed compact disc technology and the result is the CD recorder.
Discs for recording Maintenance For recording use, special audio discs must be used (for music only). These Discs bear the logos as shown below. The text ‘DIGITAL AUDIO’ is present! For recording it is very important to use dust and scratch free discs. Your recorder uses two types of discs for recording purposes: - CD-Audio Recordable (CDR) discs: fully recorded and finalised, these discs play on all CD players and recorders.
