MP3 General Information  
Dear Customer,  
Thank you for buying the Philips MP3-CD Language Learning Machine.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 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 and 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 an MP3 song may vary  
according to this process. Subsequently, making an 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-  
CDs.This is considered to be normal.  
A comparison chart is enclosed as below:

POWER SUPPLY  
BATTERIES (NOT SUPPLIED)  
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.  
6 x 1.5V R14/ UM2/ C CELL  
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.  
– 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.  
Notes :  
– 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.  
MAINS  
1.Check if the mains voltage as shown on the type plate (on the  
bottom of the set) matches your local mains voltage. If it does  
not, consult your dealer or service organization.  
2.If your set is equipped with a voltage selector, adjust the  
selector so that it matches with the local power supply.  
3.Connect the mains lead to the AC MAINS ~ socket and the  
wall socket.  
The set is now ready for use.  
4.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.
