Please save the box and all of the packaging in which your C 515BEE arrived. Should you move or otherwise need to transport your C 515BEE, this is by far the safest container in which to do so. We’ve seen too many otherwise perfect components damaged in transit for lack of a proper shipping carton, so please: Save that box!

CHOOSING A LOCATION

Choose a location that is well ventilated (with at least several inches to both sides and behind), and that will provide a clear line of sight, within 25 feet/8 meters, between the C 515BEE’s front panel and your primary listening/viewing position. This will ensure reliable infrared remote control communications. The C 515BEE generates a modest amount of heat, but nothing that should trouble adjacent components. It is perfectly possible to stack the C 515BEE on top of other components.

NOTE ON INSTALLATION

IMPORTANT! Install the C 515BEE 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

C 515BEE 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 occurs, move the C 515BEE away from other devices or switch it off when viewing or listening to broadcasts.

PLAY A CD

1Connect a twin RCA-to-RCA lead from the L (left) and R (right) Line Output jacks to the corresponding CD inputs on your amplifier.

4Press [OPEN/CLOSE] to open the disc drawer.

5Place a CD, label side up, in the tray’s circular recess. Be certain that the disc is centered within the recess.

6Press [PLAY]. The drawer closes automatically, and the disc begins to play.

7 At any time you may press [SKIP
