NOTE: In some cases, poor operation may be caused by slight corrosion or fingerprint oil on the bat- tery contacts. Remove both cells, rub the metal con- tacts at both ends of each cell with a clean cloth or a pencil eraser, and reinstall the cells, being careful to orient them according to the diagram in the battery compartment.

If the remote control will not be used for several months (or longer), remove the batteries to protect the handset from battery corrosion.

OPERATION OF REMOTE CONTROL

The letters of each section or in brackets refer to the remote control drawing.

The remote control operates by emitting a digitally coded beam of infrared light through the LED in the top end of the handset. Aim the top-end towards the NAD Model 523 disc player while pressing the buttons on the handset. There must be a clear line-of-sight path from the handset to the IR sensor located in the play- er’s display window.

NOTE: If either the LED in the top-end of the handset or the display window of the player is obstructed by papers or other objects, the player may not respond to remote commands. Remote-control operation may also be impaired if the front of the player is exposed to direct sunlight or a bright incandescent light.

The remote control contains features that are not on the player itself: A numeric keypad for direct entry of track numbers. The keypad buttons (0 to 10; +10) (A) are also required when programming the player for automatic play using the MEMORY button (B). The CLEAR button (C) deletes the last selected entry from memory Play. The RANDOM button (D) allows for ran- dom play of all discs.

The remaining remote-control buttons have the same effect as the corresponding buttons on the player’s front panel apart from the PLAY button: On both the remote control and the front panel, Play commences playback from Stop or Pause. Unlike the PLAY button on the front panel however, pressing the PLAY button on the remote control whilst a disc is playing engages Pause.

A. TRACK SELECT KEYPAD (0 to 10; +10).

Jumps directly to the beginning of a numbered track and commences play. To play or select Track 5, simply press 5. To play or select Track 23 press +10, +10, 3.

B. MEMORY (ENTRY OR ERASE).

The player can be programmed for automatic play- back of up to 40 tracks in any order. These tracks may be selected from a single disc or from any combination of up to five discs. The track list is entered through the remote control. Press MEMORY to engage the pro- gram mode. Press MEMORY again when you want to exit from Memory Play mode and erase your track list from the player’s memory. Switching power off also erases a programmed track list.

Store your desired track sequence in the memory as follows:

1.If MEMORY is illuminated in the display, press MEMORY on the remote control to erase the previous program.

2.If you want to program tracks from only one disc, select that disc using one of the DISC 1 to 5 or NEXT buttons on either the front panel or the remote control before you engage the MEMORY mode. If your pro- gram will include tracks from two or more discs, the current disc number is unimportant.

3.Press MEMORY on the remote control to engage the program mode. MEMORY will appear in the dis- play.

4.To program tracks from only the current disc, use the Track Select keys to enter the list of track numbers. For example to program tracks 3, 5,14, 9,12, and 7 (in that order) for automatic play, press the buttons as fol- lows:

To program a sequence of tracks from two or more discs, you must specify the disc number as well as the track number.

After each correct selection entry the display will show the total amount of programmed selections for approximately two seconds. In the example above the display will show P - 05 to indicate that 5 selections have been memorised.

NOTE: Each track counts as one selection. However, selecting all tracks of a disc by pressing 0 on the track numeric keypad after specifying the disc number counts as one selection.
