INSTALLING AND REPLACING BATTERIES | |
The remote control requires two 1.5-volt AAA-size (i.e. 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 gently 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 a pencil | |
eraser, and re-install the cells, being careful to orient them | |
correctly. | | | | | | |
Developed by Pacific Microsonics in the USA, HDCD® (High | |
Definition Compatible Digital®) is a patented encode/decode | |
process for delivering the full richness and detail of the recording. | |
HDCD® encoded CDs sound better because they are encoded with | |
20-bits of real musical information, as compared to 16-bits for all | |
other CDs. HDCD® overcomes the limitation of the 16-bit CD | |
format by using a sophisticated system to encode the additional | GB |
four bits onto the CD while remaining completely compatible with |
the existing CD format. | | | | | |
The result is a larger dynamic range, a more focused 3-D soundstage, and natural vocal and musical timbre. An HDCD- encoded disc played on the HDCD-equipped NAD C 542 CD player produces audibly superior clarity and depth. Enhanced performance will also be obtained from standard CDs.
The NAD C 542 CD player will automatically identify an HDCD® encoded disc and activate its HDCD® decoder. The red indicator will light up when it’s playing an HDCD® encoded disc.
CD-R & CD-RW AUDIO DISCS
The C 542 can play back CD-R, CDRW audio discs that have been recorded on a computer or CD-recorder. The quality of CD-R, CD-RW 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 well-renowned companies give better results than unbranded ones.
•The quality of CD-recorder or computer CD re/writer. Some recorders and writers produce better results than others.
•The CD-R & CD-RW was created with high-speed writing. In
