muBwnN NOTE ON INSTALLATION Install the NAD C 525BEE Compact Disc player on a level, vibration-free surface. (Severe vibration, or operation in a tilted position, may cause the player to mis-track.) The player may be stacked with other stereo components, as long as there is adequate ventilation around it. If the player is placed in close proximity to a radio tuner (AM or FM), a VCR, or a television set, the operation of its digital circuits may produce static that would interfere with reception of weak broadcast signals. If this oceurs, move the CD player away from other devices or switch it off when viewing or listening to broadcasts.

REAR PANEL CONNECTIONS

1. LINE OUTPUT Connect a cable from these jacks to your amplifier. Plug one end of à twin RCA-o-RCA lead into the L (upper) and R (lower) output jacks. Connect the other end of the cable to your stereo amplifier CD input, or to any other “line-level” input jacks (such as the AUXiliary inputs). Do NOT connect this cable to the amplifiers PHONO input jacks. The RCA sockets on your NAD C 525BEE are colour coded for convenience. Red and White are Right and Left audio respectively, and yellow for Digital Out. Ensure that leads and sockets are not damaged in any way and all sockets are firmly pushed home.

2. DIGITAL OUTPUT The digital playback signal is available at this output jack. The serial data output is taken after the error correction but before the digital-to- analogue conversion and filtering. The output is transformer-isolated from the built-in D-to-A circuits. It may be connected to any digital signal processor that conforms to the Sony/Philips (SPDIF) standard

To use the digital output, connect à cable from this jack to the “CD Digital” or equivalent input on a digital processor or recorder. For best results, the cable should be a 75 ohm coaxial cable of the type used for video signals, with an RCA phono plug at each end. (To distinguish them from similar phono-plug cables used for analogue audio signals, video and digital signal cables often are colour-coded with yellow plugs.)

3. AC LINE CORD Connect this power cord to an AC mains wall outlet or to an AC convenience outlet at the rear of your amplifier.

Press the RANDOM button again to cancel Random Play mode and return to normal Play mode. Random Play mode can also be disengaged by pressing the STOP button twice. On the first press of the STOP button, playback will stop, the second press will disengage Random Play mode

10. SCAN 44 DD The SCAN 4 button causes the optical pickup to scan backward through the recording at high speed. This button works only while the player is in PLAY or PAUSE. After à STOP command, or after loading à new disc, you must press PLAY before the scan circuit will work. If Scan i initiated while the player is in PAUSE the scan is silent; if initiated during PLAY the music will be heard in fragmentary form at reduced volume as the player scans through it. For the first approximately 50 seconds of à track, scanning will be at around 3 times the speed, after which scanning speed increases to around 15 times faster than normal playing speed

Use this “audible scan” to cue the player precisely to the spot where you want to resume play. f you scan back to the beginning of the disc while playing Track 1, the player automatically reverts to normal playback

The SCAN BB button causes the optical pickup to scan rapidiy forward through the music. The behaviour of this function is similar to SCAN 4. if you scan forward to the end of the disc while playing the final track, the scan will stop and the Time display will show the table of contents. (There is no “wrap-around” mode.)

During playback, press the SKIP KK button once to skip back to the beginning of the current track. Press SKIP K£ twice in rapid succession to skip back to the previous track or previous programmed track in Program Play mode, once to reach the beginning of the current track and again to jump to the previous track.

This provides à convenient way to select high-numbered tracks

INSTALLING AND REPLACING BATTERIES The remote control requires two 1.5-voit AAAssize (Le. UM-4 or IEC RO3) cells. Alkaline cells are recommended, to obtain maximum operating life. To open the battery compartment, place your fingertip in the recess on the rear of the remote control, push against the flexible edge of the battery cover and lift the cover upwards. Install fresh cells, orienting them as shown on the diagram within the compartment.

The coil springs should contact the (-) end of each cell. Push the battery compartment cover back and press gentiÿ until it latches. In some cases, corrosion or fingerprint oil on the battery contacts may cause poor operation. Remove both cells, rub the metal contacts at both ends of each cell with a clean cloth or à pencil eraser, and re-install the cells, being careful to orient them correcily

CD-R & CD-RW AUDIO DISCS The C 52SBEE can play back CD-R & CD-RW audio discs that have been recorded on a computer or CD-recorder. The quality of CD-R audio discs varies widely which may affect playability

Some factors that affect playability:

+ _ The quality of the disc itself. Generally speaking, CD-R & CD-RW blanks from wel-renowned companies give better results than unbranded ones.

+ The quality of CD-recorder or computer CD reAwriter. Some recorders and writers produce better results than others

+ The CD-R & CD-RW was created with high-speed writing In general, the quality of à CD-R & CD-RW is better when produced at à lower speed against à higher speed on the same recorder or reAwriter.

DISC PLAYABILITY This CD Player is designed to play musical program material only, on CD, CD-R, and CD-RW discs recorded in the 16 bit 44.1 kHz PCM Compact Disc format. I is not designed to play any other disc format, or discs with data or pictures.

WARNING: Attempting to play discs with non-musical programs may result in damage to your playback system.

MAINTENANCE At periodic intevals, open the disc drawer and wipe with à damp cloth to remove any loose dust.

HANDLING COMPACT DISCS Handle Compact Discs with care. The playback of à disc will not be impaired by small dust particles, à few light fingerprints, or slight scratches. But large scratches, or a thick layer of oily fingerprints, can prevent the player from tracking the disc. (ncidentall, although the tracking optical pickup “plays” the disc through its clear side, the actual data surface is embedded directly beneath the label, protected only by a very thin coating of lacquer. So a scratch that cuts through the label may damage the disc more than a similar scratch on the transparent "playing" surface. Thus you should treat both surfaces of the disc with care.) Severe scratches or fingerprints may cause the player to mis-track (skipping ahead, or repeating the same passage). Less severe damage may produce very brief bursts of high-frequency noise. The tracking and error- correction circuits of this NAD CD player are unusual} sophisticated, providing secure tracking of flawed discs that are unplayable on some other players. Nevertheless, the discs should not be abused or handled carelesshy. For best results, grasp the disc only by its edges.

CLEANING DISCS Soiled discs may be cleaned by wiping with a soft cloth, either dry or moistened, with water. Do NOT use conventional LP record-cleaning products (cleaning solutions, sprays, treated cloths, or anti-static préparations), nor any kind of chemical solvent (alcohol, benzene, etc) A severely soiled disc may be washed in a warm-water spray, possibly with a small amount of à mild kitchen detergent added, and then wiped dry with a clean, soft towel

When cleaning the disc, use only RADIAL strokes (from centre to edge). Never use à circular wiping motion like that used for cleaning ordinary LP records, because in wiping the disc there is à risk of scratching it. A radial scratch will do the least harm because it affects only à small portion of each circular data track, which can be fully compensated by the player‘ s error-correction circuits. But à circular scratch that follows a data track may damage such a long continuous segment of data that it cannot be corrected.

ABOUT THE OPTICAL PICKUP The Compact Disc player uses a solid-state semi-conductor diode laser, mounted on a tracking servo-mechanism, to play the disc. The laser illuminates the track of microscopic pits representing the digital data bits, while photo-diodes detect the reflected illumination from the disc and convert it into an electronic signal which is then decoded to recover the musical waveform in each stereo channel.

You cannot see the laser operating, because it operates at wavelength of 7800 Angstroms, which is in the infrared and thus invisible to the

The Compact Disc player is completely safe for children to use. The laser operates at very low power and is concealed within the player mechanism. Even when the player is disassembled, the laser remains sealed within an optical system that causes its light to focus only 1 milimeter from the lens and then diverge rapidiy, reducing its intensity to negligible levels
