Either get a self-pre-amplified phono or an old school one connected to the PHONO section of old school electronics.

Common issue. The lasers/transports in these are terribly unreliable. More of these hit repair stores and skips than pints of beer down a football thugs throat. cut your time and loses and invest in one from any brand other than Philips. pioneer and Yamaha make exceedingly good CD-R recorders for the home user. Hhb, marantz, fostex for the pro market

u mabe inserting the wrong disc all phillips cd recorders uses cd-r or cd-rw that says digital audio.

If you're recording an analog source the recorder won't automatically start. You have to start it in sync with the playback.

If you're trying a synchronized digital recording...

Page 28 of the manual says

Start playback on the selected source.

The CD recorder starts to record simultaneously and recording in progress is shown. The remaining recording time left of the CDR(W) is displayed.

Note: If you start playback on the selected source within a track, recording starts at the beginning of the next track or after 2.7 seconds of silence in analogue recordings.

Have you tried a blank disc with "audio" or "music" marked on it? It won't record on data discs.

The Unit turns itself off automatically after a few (variable) time when simply reading a CD and also when burning, then after 1 or 2 seconds it turns on and goes automatically in stand by mode. Any solution? Thanks.

It sound like one or more of the Capacitors or other components on the Power Supply PCB has been failing and has now finally failed.

If you can remove the cover and look at the PCB where the Power comes in you should be able to see if any Capacitors have a bulge in them or are leaking.

If you need further assistance then try and post a photo of the Power Supply PCB.

What kind of trouble? Be specific.

If you just need instructions - http://www.p4c.philips.com/files/c/cdr785bk/cdr785bk_dfu_aen.pdf

Looking through Phillip's online directory is a possible choice,
However, for a large inventory and generally lower prices, I suggest searching on Amazon or eBay.

connect RCA lines out (red and white) to your amplifier/receivers CD line in or AUX in,

further detailed connection can find in the user manual
