The CD recorder has the following recording inputs:
- Digital optical input
- Digital coaxial input
- Analogue input
The CD recorder has the following playback outputs:
- Digital coaxial output
- Analogue output
The connections to be made depend upon the possibilities
your audio equipment offers. Please refer to the user manuals
for your other audio equipment first.
Recordings made from a digital source (CD player) via the
digital optical or digital coaxial connection will give the best
performance in audio and usability (e.g. auto-track).
(The digital optical connection is less sensitive to external
disturbances).
If your equipment does not offer digital connections, the high
quality Analogue-Digital-Converter of your CD recorder will
ensure high audio performance when recordings are made
from the analogue input.
Playback via the digital coaxial output of the CD recorder
gives the best audio performance. If your equipment does not
offer digital connections the high quality Digital-Analogue-
Converter of the CD recorder ensures a high sound quality via
the analogue output.
We recommend that both digital and analogue connections be
made, so that analogue recordings can be made when digital
recording is not possible.
The most common ways of connecting the CD recorder are
explained below. If you still have difficulties with the
connections, feel free to contact the Philips Consumer Service
desk in your country.
Use the audio cables supplied. Connect the red plugs to the
R sockets, and the white plugs to the L sockets.
1 For recording, connect cable 1 between the ANALOGUE
IN sockets on the CD recorder and the LINE- or TAPE OUT
sockets of an amplifier. (FW538)
Note: For recording directly from a CD player the analogue
input of the CD recorder should be connected to the
analogue output of the CD player.
2 For playback, connect cable 2 between the ANALOGUE
OUT sockets on the CD recorder and the input sockets of an
amplifier e.g. TAPE IN, CD-R or AUX. (FW538)
Note: Never use the PHONO input.
