NAD 523 COMPACT DISC CHANGER GB

BEFORE TRANSPORTING THE UNIT.

CAUTION:

Be sure to remove all discs from the player before moving it, even if you only plan to move it across the room. If discs shift out of position in the carousel tray, they could jam when the tray turns or the drawer is opened.

REAR PANEL CONNECTIONS

The numbers refer to the back panel drawing.

1. 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.

A NOTE ON INSTALLATION

Install the 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), VCR, or television set, the operation of its digital circuits could produce static that would interfere with reception of weak broadcast signals. If this occurs, move the CD player away from other devices or switch it off when listening to broadcasts.

PLAYING COMPACT DISCS - A SIMPLE APPROACH

Numbers in brackets refer to the front panel drawing unless stated otherwise.

1.Connect a stereo cable from the L (left) and R (right) Line Output sockets (2 in back panel drawing) to the corresponding CD inputs on your amplifier.

2.Plug in the AC power cord (1 in back panel draw-

ing).

3.Press the POWER button (1) to turn on the player.

4.Press the OPEN button (8) to open the disc draw-

er.

5.Place your first CD, label side up, in the carousel tray’s left-front circular recess (marked ‘DIRECT PLAY’). Be certain that the disc is centred within the recess.

6.Place your second CD in the right-front recess.

7.Press the NEXT button (3) twice to move tray loca- tions #3 and # 4 to the front loading positions. Place your third and fourth CDs in those recesses.

8.Press NEXT (3) to bring tray location # 5 to the front, and insert your fifth CD.

9.Press NEXT (3) as necessary until the display indi- cates Disc # 1.

10.Press the PLAY button (7). The drawer closes automatically, the tray revolves to place Disc # 1 in playing position, and the first disc begins to play.

11.When the first disc ends, the remaining discs will automatically play in sequence.

12.At anytime you may press the SKIP > or < but- tons (5) to select different tracks on the current disc, or press NEXT (3) to select a different CD.

13.To hear a particular track, use the remote control to enter the corresponding Disc Select and Track Select buttons.

2. LINE OUTPUT.

Connect a cable from these sockets to your amplifier. Plug one end of a stereo audio cable into the Left (upper) and Right (lower) output sockets. Connect the other end of the cable to your stereo amplifier’s match- ing Left and Right CD inputs, or to any other “line-level” input sockets on (such as the AUXiliary inputs).

NOTE: Do NOT connect this cable to the amplifier’s PHONO input sockets.

3. NAD LINK IN/OUT.

The NAD Link OUT connector (the upper socket) allows remote-control commands to be relayed from this player to other products equipped with a NAD-Link (or compatible) input. To use this option, connect a cable from the NAD Link OUT socket to the NAD Link IN socket on another product.

The NAD Link IN connector (the lower socket) allows this player to be operated by external control signals from a multi-room controller or remote relay system. Connect a cable from the controller to the NAD Link IN socket. Using both IN and OUT connections, remote control commands can be “daisy-chained” from one product to the next.

FRONT PANEL CONTROLS

Numbers of each section or in brackets refer to the front panel drawing unless stated otherwise.

1. POWER.

Press this button to switch on the power to the disc player. Press again and release to switch the power off. When the power is switched on, the carousel tray auto- matically revolves to place disc # 1 in the play position.

2. DISC 1 to 5

Press the appropriate Disc number button to immedi- ately access the desired disc. When one of the DISC 1 to 5 buttons is pressed with the CD drawer open, the player will close the CD drawer and start to play the selected disc.

3. NEXT.

Turns the carousel tray to select the next-higher disc number. After # 5 it returns to # 1. If NEXT is pressed with the CD drawer open whilst playing a CD, the CD drawer will close first.

4. DISPLAY.

The display provides information about the disc selection, playback status, about the stored program, and about the laser’s location on the disc being played.
