GENERAL INFORMATION English Welcome ! Thank you for buying this Philips Compact Disc Recorder/ Player Double Deck. In the 1980s Philips invented a new audio system - the CD. The CD (compact disc) revealed the new dimensions of digital sound and added to the pleasure of audio. Compact-disc technology permits a high contrast in both loud and soft 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 one of the logos as shown below. The text 'DIGITAL AUDIO' is present! For recording, it is very important to use discs that are free of dust and scratches. Your recorder can use two types of discs for recording purposes: - CD-Audio Recordable (CDR) discs: fully recorded and finalized, these discs play on all CD players and recorders.
