MP3 General Information

Congratulations on your purchase and welcome to Philips!

To fully benefit from the support that Philips offers, register your product at

www.philips.com/welcome.

Dear Customer,

Thank you for buying the Philips MP3-CD Soundmachine. Your great new acquisition will allow you to

listen to up to 10 hours of CD-like quality music, using the revolutionary new music compression

technology MP3.

MP3 technology

MP3 is short for MPEG1 Layer-3 encoding and decoding technology, a very powerful encoding

algorithm with which you can shrink down the orginal digital audio sound data with a factor of up to

10 without losing significant sound quality.

Recording and Playback

It is recommended to set your recording bit rate to 128kbps, sampling frequency at 44.1kHz

to achieve CD-like music playback quality.

Since downloading MP3 files from the Internet, ripping songs from your own legal CD’s and burning

MP3 songs onto a CD-R, are a delicate process, the quality of a MP3 song may vary by these process.

Subsequently, making a MP3-CD may not be entirely perfect.

As a result of the above imperfection, you may experience an occasional “skip” while

listening, or an occasional delay in accessing “previous/next” title to MP3-CD’s. This is

considered to be normal.

A comparison chart is enclosed as below:

Sound Bit Rate Approximate Approximate total Comment

Quality Reduction Ratio MP3-CD time

MW radio 32 kbps 40 : 1 40 hrs Sound quality significantly

FM radio 64 kbps 20 : 1 20 hrs affected-not recommended.

Near-CD 96 kbps 15 : 1 15 hrs Balanced sound quality

CD-like 128 kbps 10 : 1 10 hrs compression rate.

CD 256 kbps 5 : 1 5 hrs Compression rate low

CD 320 kbps 3 : 1 3 hrs suggest to play CDs instead.

POWER SUPPLY

IMPORTANT!

•For best CD/MP3-CD playback, please plug in your set to an AC power supply where

convenient.

•If operated in DC mode, see below approximate playtime. (Playtime is also varied from

different brand batteries) :

•

Whenever convenient, use the mains supply if you want to conserve battery life. The battery supply

will be switched off when the set is connected to the mains.

Make sure you remove the plug from the

set and wall outlet before inserting batteries.

Batteries

1. Open the battery compartment and insert six batteries, type

R14, UM2 or C-cells, (preferably alkaline) with the correct

polarity as indicated by the "+" and "-" symbols inside the

compartment.

Remote control

1. Open the battery door and insert two batteries,

type AAA, R03 or UM4 (preferably alkaline).

2. Replace the compartment door, making sure the batteries are

firmly and correctly in place.

3. Remove the batteries if they are exhausted or if they will not be used for a long period.

– The incorrect use of batteries can cause electrolyte leakage and will corrode the compartment

or cause the batteries to burst. Therefore:

–Do not mix battery types, e.g. alkaline with zinc carbonate.

–When inserting new batteries, replace all at the same time.

–Remove the batteries if the set is not to be used for a long time.

Note :

–The battery supply is switched off when the set is connected to the mains.

Batteries contain chemical substances, so they should be disposed of properly.

GENERAL OPERATION

1. Check if the mains voltage as shown on the type plate (on

the bottom of the set) corresponds to your local mains

voltage. If it does not, consult your dealer or service

organization.

2. Connect the mains lead to the AC MAINS ~socket and the

wall socket.

™The set is now ready for use.

3. To switch off the mains supply completely, pull the mains plug out of the wall socket.

™Disconnect the mains lead when you change over to battery supply, or to protect the set

during heavy thunderstorms.

The type plate is located on the bottom of the set.

1. To switch on the set, adjust the source selector.

2. Adjust the sound using the VOLUME and DBB controls.

3To switch off the set, adjust the source selector to the

TAPE/OFF position, with the cassette keys released.

2. Adjust the sound using the VOLUME controls and the DBB

switch.

3. Tune to a radio station using the TUNING knob.

–For FM, pull out the telescopic aerial. To improve FM-reception,

incline and turn the aerial. Reduce its length if the FM-signal is

too strong (very close to a transmitter).
