INTRODUCTION

The

Compact

Disc

system

is

a

major

step

forward

in

the

sphere

of

audio

technology.

By

employing

the

most

sophisticated

digital

and

optical

technologies,

Compact

Disc

not

only

produces

the

ultimate

in

sound

reproduction,

it

also

offers

unprecedented

ease

of

operation,

with

rapid

access

to

every

track

on

the

disc

and

the

possibility

of

programming.

Remote

control

The

only

difference

between

the

Compact

Disc

players

CD

780

and

CD

781

is

that

the

former

is

supplied

without

and

the

latter

with

remote

control.

The

CD

780

is

however

adapted

for

remote

control.

This

allows

it

to

be

operated

remotely

if

it

is

connect¬

ed

to

a

PHILIPS

HiFi-system

with

remote

control,

or

if

use

is

made

of

the

remote

control

receiver

EM

2200,

available

as

an

accessory,

and

one

of

the

transmitters

RC771,

RC772

or

RC773.

In

addition

to

its

own

remote

control

system,

the

CD

781

also

offers

the

possibility

of

remote

control

via

a

PHILIPS

HiFi-system._

(PHONES)

Connect

plug

and

an

impedance

between

CARE

OF

THE

DISCS

Although

both

sides

of

a

are

protected

by

a

special

coating,

it

is

still

advisable

to

treat

the

with

care:

•

Never

leave

discs

lying

around,

put

them

back

in

their

holders

immediately

after

use.

•

Never

write

on

the

printed

side!

•

Do

not

attach

any

stickers

on

that

side.

•

Keep

the

shiny

surface

of

the

disc

clean.

Use

a

soft

lint-free

cloth

and

always

wipe

the

disc

in

a

straight

line

from

centre

to

edge.

You

may

breath

lightly

on

the

disc

first.

The

cleaning

set

SBC

is

a

useful

accessory

for

FAULTS

AND

THEIR

LIKELY

CAUSES

Insufficient

familiarity

with

the

combination

of

a

new

product

and

new

discs

may

lead

to

faults

arising

during

use.

These

are

generally

caused

by

simple

errors

in

operation

or

external

factors.

It

is

perhaps

useful

to

check

the

points

listed

below

and

where

possible

remedy

these

before

taking

your

player

for

repair.

-

The

transit

clamps

have

not

been

removed.

-

Condensation

has

formed

on

the

lens

of

laser

due

to

a

dramatic

change

in

temperature.

This

will

disappear

automatically

after

a

some

time.

-

There

is

a

foreign

object

in

the

disc

tray.

-

The

disc

has

not

been

inserted

with

the

printed

side

up

or

there

is

no

disc

in

the

tray.

-

The

disc

is

dirty,

badly

scratched

or

warped.

-

The

player

has

been

connected

to

the

PHONO

socket

of

the

amplifier.

If

the

fault

remains,

try

to

clear

it

by

switching

the

player

off

and

on.

If

this

also

fails

to

help,

do

not

continue

experiment¬

ing,

but

remove

the

plug

from

the

socket

and

consult

your

dealer.

Certain

faults

may

be

caused

by

a

disc.

In

order

to

help

determine

the

precise

cause,

take

the

disc

with

which

the

fault

occurred

with

you

when

you

take

the

player

for

repair.

Under

no

circumstances

should

you

repair

the

player

yourself,

as

this

will

invalidate

the

guaran¬

tee!

Subject

to

modification

This

Compact

Disc

player

complies

with

radio

interference

requirements

as

laid

down

in

EC

regulations
