WARNING
Under no circumstances should you try to repair the CD recorder
yourself as this will invalidate the guarantee.
Do not open the CD recorder as there is a risk of electric shock.
If a fault occurs, first check the points listed, before taking the CD
recorder for repair. If you are unable to solve a problem by following
these hints, consult your dealer or service centre.
Laser safety
This unit employs a laser. Only a qualified service person should remove
the cover or attempt to service this device, due to possible eye injury.
Solution
– ensure that the ON/OFF key is in the on position (red LED on): the CD
recorder is in standby mode, press any key to activate it
– make sure that the power cable is plugged in correctly
– switch the recorder OFF and then immediately back ON
– check the audio connections (external recording)
– try using a different source on the amplifier
– make sure the record level was correctly adjusted
– check if the right deck was selected
– make sure that the CD recorder analog output is not connected to the
amplifier Phono input
– make sure that the label of the CD is facing up
– clean the disc
– make sure that the disc is not defective by trying another disc
– check if the right deck was selected (in DJ mode)
– finalize the disc first before playing it in the CD player deck
– press CDR on the remote control and try again
– point the remote control directly at the CD recorder
– check the batteries and replace if necessary
– select the right source first
– clean the disc
– check if CDR(W) is an unfinalized disc (INITIALIZING is diplayed when
disc is unfinalized)
– check that the disc is recordable and replace if necessary
(WRONG DISC)
– the disc is not an AUDIO disc
– wrong input source chosen. Input label flashing (CHECK INPUT)
– try using a Philips Audio CDR(W)
– make sure the recording level is correctly adjusted
– switch the ON/OFF button on the front of the recorder off and back on
– a power failure has occurred during recording; the CD recorder is attempting
to repair the disc
– the disc cannot be recorded further, and cannot be finalized.
– on a CDRW disc, the track being recorded is lost, but further recording and
finalization can still be done
– check if there are at least 2.7 seconds silence in between the tracks
(analog recording only)
– insert track increments manually with the remote control (during recording)
– start the synchronized external recording by pressing PLAY on the external
source you wish to record from
– check the connections
– press STOP 9, select REC EXT MAN and start the recording manually
– select the right input with the SOURCE key
