CAUTION

TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK MATCH WIDE BLADE OF PLUG

TO WIDE SLOT FULLY INSERT.

If an indoor antenna is used (either built into the set or installed separately),

never allow any part of the antenna to touch the metal parts of other electrical

appliances such as a lamp, TV set etc.

CAUTION

POWER LINES

Any outdoor antenna must be located away from all power lines.

OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING

If an outside antenna is connected to your tuner or tuner-preamplifier, be sure

the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against volt-

age surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical

Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984, provides information with respect to proper

grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to

an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna dis-

charge unit, connection to grounding electrodes and requirements for the

grounding electrode.

a. Use No. 10 AWG (5.3mm2) copper, No. 8 AWG (8.4mm2) aluminium, No. 17

AWG (1.0mm2) copper-clad steel or bronze wire, or larger, as a ground wire.

b. Secure antenna lead-in and ground wires to house with stand-off insulators

spaced from 4-6 feet (1.22 - 1.83 m) apart.

c. Mount antenna discharge unit as close as possible to where lead-in enters

house.

d. Use jumper wire not smaller than No.6 AWG (13.3mm2) copper, or the equiva-

lent, when a separate antenna-grounding electrode is used. see NEC Section

810-21 (j).

EXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDING AS PER NATIONAL ELECTRICAL

CODE INSTRUCTIONS CONTAINED IN ARTICLE 810 - RADIO AND TELEVI-

SION EQUIPMENT.

NOTE TO CATV SYSTEM INSTALLER: This reminder is provided to

call the CATV system installer's attention to Article 820-22 of the

National Electrical Code that provides guidelines for proper grounding

and, in particular, specifies that the ground cable ground shall be con-

nected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of

cable entry as practical.

SAFETY WARNING

INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION

AND OPERATION

NOTE ON INSTALLATION

Install the Compact Disc player on a level, vibra-

tion-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 compo-

nents, 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 sig-

nals. If this occurs, move the CD player away from

other devices or switch it off when viewing or listening

to broadcasts.

PLAYING COMPACT DISCS

A SIMPLE APPROACH

1. Connect a stereo cable from the L (left) and R

(right) Line Output jacks to the corresponding CD

inputs on your amplifier.

2. Plug in the AC power cord.

3. Press the green POWER button to turn on the

player.

4. Press OPEN to open the disc drawer.

5. Place a CD, label side up, in the tray's circular

recess. Be certain that the disc is centered within the

recess.

6. Press PLAY/PAUSE. The drawer closes auto-

matically, and the disc begins to play.

7. At any time you may press SKIP

select different tracks on the disc.

8. Press PLAY/PAUSE if you want to stop play

temporarily while keeping the pickup at its current

position on the disc. Press PLAY/PAUSE again when

you want to resume playback. Press STOP if you

want to end play and re-set the pickup to the begin-

ning of the disc.

REAR PANEL CONNECTIONS (fig.1)

1. LINE OUTPUT

Connect a cable from these jacks to your amplifier.

Plug one end of a stereo audio cable into the L

(upper) and R (lower) output jacks. Connect the other

end of the cable to your stereo amplifier's CD input,

or to any other `line-level' input jacks (such as the

AUXiliary inputs). Do NOT connect this cable to the

amplifier's PHONO input jacks.

2. DIGITAL OUTPUT

The digital playback signal is available at this out-

put jack. The serial data output is taken after the error

correction but before the digital-to-analogue conver-

sion 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 a cable from this

jack to the "CD Digital" or equivalent input on a digital

processor. 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 ana-

logue audio signals, video and digital signal cables

often are colour-coded with yellow plugs.)

3. NAD LINK IN/OUT

The NAD Link OUT connector allows remote-con-

trol 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 (the upper jack) to the NAD

Link IN jack on another product.

The NAD Link IN connector (the lower jack) allows

this player to be operated by external control signals

from a multi-room controller or remote relay ayatem.

Connect a cable from the controller (or from the NAD

Link OUT jack on another NAD product) to the NAD

Link IN jack on this CD player. Using both IN and

OUT connections, remote control commands can be

"daisy-chained" from one product to the next.

4. 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.

FRONT PANEL CONTROLS (fig.2)

1. POWER ON/OFF

Press this green button to switch on the power to

the disc player. Press again and release to switch the

power off.

2. DISC DRAWER

To play a disc, press the OPEN button to open the

disc drawer. Place the CD within the large circular

recess in the drawer, with its transparent playing sur-

face facing down. The label must face UP.

CD-3 discs (3-inch CD `singles') can be played

without the aid of an adapter. Place the disc in the

drawer, centered in the smaller circular recess, with

its label facing UP.

NOTE: This player was not designed to accommo-

date a `damping disc' placed on a CD, nor two CDs

stacked together. It plays audio CDs, but not discs

identified as CD-V, DVD, CD-I, CD-ROM, or PHOTO

CD.

3. DISPLAY

The display provides information about playback

status and about the laser pickup's location on the

disc. The displayed track/time information is obtained

by reading inaudible `sub-codes' in the disc.

TRACK NUMBER. Each disc is segmented into

numbered tracks when the recording is made; typical-

ly each numbered track will correspond to a different

song, symphonic movement, etc. These track num-

bers are identified on the CD package and are encod-

ed in the disc by its manufacturer.

NAD

NAD C 540 COMPACT DISC PLAYER

In some CDs, at the manufacturer's option, tracks

may be sub-divided into sections identified by Index

numbers. This player does not display Index num-

bers.

TIME. Normally this display shows the time elapsed

since the beginning of the current track. Using the

TIME button you can switch the display to show the

playing time remaining to the end of the disc.

When you load a different disc and use the OPEN

button to close the disc drawer, the display shows the

number of tracks and the total playing time of all the

tracks on the disc.

STATUS. A right-pointing arrowhead

, located

near the left edge of the time display, glows during

PLAY. Two vertical bars

indicate that the player

is in PAUSE. In STOP mode the display reverts to

showing the number of tracks and total playing time

of the disc.

`no diSC' glows in the display when no disc is pre-

sent or when you load a disc that cannot be read

(because it is dirty or is upside-down).

REPEAT 1 glows in the center and upper-left cor-

ner during repeat-play of a single track. REPEAT ALL

glows during repeat-play of the entire program or disc

REMAIN glows in the lower-left corner of the dis-

play if you have pressed the TIME button to show the

remaining time in the disc.

RANDOM. When the C540 is in Random mode

"RANDOM" will be shown in the Display Panel.

CALENDAR DISPLAY TRACK LISTING. Displays

a list of tracks available on the disc. As each track is

played its number is blanked out on the Track Listing,

giving a simple indication of how much of the disc has

been played and how much remains. The display

shows up to 16 numbered tracks.

OVER glows in the bottom center area of the dis-

play if the loaded disc contains more than 16 tracks.

REMOTE RECEIVER. An infrared sensor, located

at the right-hand portion of the display window,

receives commands from the remote control. There

must be a clear line-of-sight path from the remote

control to this window; if that path is obstructed, the

remote control may not work.

4. OPEN

Press this button to open the disc drawer, and

press it again to close the drawer. If this button is

pressed while a disc is being played, the playback will

stop, the pickup will re-set to the beginning of the

disc, and the drawer will open.

When the disc drawer is open, the drawer-closing

mechanism can also be activated by pressing PLAY

or by gently pushing the drawer inward.

CAUTION: The disc drawer is opened and closed

by an internal motor. Do not close the drawer by hand

with the power off.

When the drawer closes, the player scans the

disc's `table of contents' and displays the number of

tracks and total playing time on the disc. If you press

PLAY to close the drawer this display is skipped, and

play commences immediately at Track 1.

5. PLAY/PAUSE

This dual-function button alternates between start-

ing and stopping playback. Press to start play or to

resume play after Pause. During play, press this but-

ton to stop playback temporarily, keeping the laser at

its current position on the disc.

The PLAY mode is identified by a right-pointing

arrowhead

in the display. The PAUSE mode is

identified by two vertical bars

To resume playback at the exact point where it

stopped, press PLAY/PAUSE again. If you don't want

to resume play at the same point, you may use the

SKIP and SCAN controls to cue the pickup to a differ-

ent starting point before pressing PLAY again.

6. TIME

The TIME button has two modes, as follows:

TIME: the elapsed time since the beginning of the

current track, in minutes and seconds. (This is the

`default' setting, selected automatically when the

player is turned on.)

REMAIN: the total playing time that remains unit

the end of the disc and the total number of remaining

tracks (including the current track).

7. STOP

This button stops play, cancels any repeat-play

cycle, and re-sets the pickup to the beginning of the

disc. The display reverts to showing the number of

tracks and total playing time on the disc.

8. REPEAT

This button engages an endless-repeat cycle.

Press the Repeat button once to select the REPEAT 1

mode, in which only the current track is repeated over

and over again. Pressing the Repeat button once

again selects the REPEAT ALL mode, in which the

entire disc is played from beginning to end, over and

over again. Press the Repeat button a third time to

cancel the repeat cycle and return to normal opera-

tion.

9. RANDOM

Pressing RANDOM will play all the tracks on the

CD in a random order. Press RANDOM either from

the Stop or the Play mode and the C540 will play the

tracks on the CD in random order until all the tracks

have been played.

Press RANDOM button again to cancel Random

play and return the C540 to the normal Play mode.

When the C540 is in Random mode `RANDOM' will

be shown in the Display Panel.

10. SCAN
