laundry tub; in a wet basement; or near a swimming pool; and the like.
8 Accessories - Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The product may fall,
causing serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the product. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket,
or table recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the product. Any mounting of the product should follow the
manufacturer's instructions, and should use a mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer.
9 A product and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may
cause the product and cart combination to overturn.
10 Ventilation - Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the
product and to protect it from overheating, and these openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should
never be blocked by placing the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This product should not be placed
in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer's instructions
have been adhered to.
11 Power Sources - This product should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking
label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your product dealer or local power company.
The primary method of isolating the turntable from the mains supply is to disconnect the mains plug. Ensure that the
mains plug remains accessible at all times. Unplug the AC power cord from the AC outlet if the unit will not be used for
several months or more.
12 Grounding or Polarization - This product may be equipped with a polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug
having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If
you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your
electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
13 Power-Cord Protection - Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched
by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the
point where they exit from the product.
14 Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the product, be sure the
antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges.
Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with regard 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 discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.
NOTE TO CATV SYSTEM INSTALLER
·
This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer's attention to Section 820-40 of the NEC which provides
guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the
grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.
15 Lightning - For added protection for this product during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused
for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent
damage to the product due to lightning and power-line surges.
16 Power Lines - An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other
electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna
system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be
fatal.
17 Overloading - Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can result in
a risk of fire or electric shock.
18 Object and Liquid Entry - Never push objects of any kind into this product through openings as they may touch
dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on
the product.
19 Servicing - Do not attempt to service this product yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to
dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
20 Heat - The product should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other
products (including amplifiers) that produce heat
.

This turntable has been engineered to give extremely good musical reproduction. Inherent in the design
are several features that improve sound quality and focus the manufacturing costs where they are most
needed.
Example: Speed change is achieved by manually moving the drive belt from one pulley to another as
shown below.
The cost saving from the use of manual speed change allows a very expensive low vibration motor with
an accuracy exceeding that of conventional designs to be employed.
TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS
1 Try to mount the turntable on a rigid, level surface. A light shelf screwed to the wall or in an alcove
would be ideal. Avoid mounting on hollow or heavy cabinets, or anything mounted on a wooden
floor.
2 Try to keep the lid closed whilst playing records. This will prevent dust falling onto the records and
make cleaning unnecessary. There may also be a sound improvement.
3 Don't use a record cleaner that works as the record plays, or any cleaners that use water or fluids.
Don't touch the playing surface of records. Visible dust on the record surface is simply brushed aside
by the stylus, and any that collects there can easily be blown away.
4 Try to leave the turntable running during a record playing session. Switch on before the start, and only
switch off after the last record has finished. Changing records whilst the platter revolves is easier than
it sounds!
5 DO NOT lift the centre hub from its bearing. The bearing is factory assembled with a film of thick
lubricant. Disturbance of this can cause serious problems with speed variation and wear.
6 When switching on the turntable, especially at 45rpm, it is recommended to give the platter a quick
spin clockwise as the `ON' switch is pressed. This relieves strain on the motor and belt.
7 No maintenance should be necessary. If the turntable is working well, leave it alone. Some settling of
the anti-vibration feet may cause the turntable to lean backwards slightly after a few months, but this
is nothing to worry about.
8 Don't use any polishes on the turntable or lid. To clean or dust, wipe gently with a soft cotton duster
(slightly damp, only if necessary).
9 The tonearm is automatically earthed (or ground) through the arm cable screening. No other earthing
should be necessary.
10 Save the packing, in case the turntable has to be transported in the future.
11 When the record reaches the end of one side, remember to lift the stylus off the surface of the record
using the lift/lower mechanism.
ENJOY THE MUSIC!

GOLDRING ELEKTRA CARTRIDGE
Your NAD C 555 turntable comes with a factory fitted Goldring Elektra moving magnet cartridge.
When following the setting-up instructions, please note that the optimum tracking weight is 1.7 grams
for the cartridge. The bias adjustor should then be set to the same setting.
Replacement styli are available from your NAD dealer.
ARM WIRING
Blue = LH earth
Green = RH earth
Red = RH signal
White = LH signal
SETTING UP THE CARTRIDGE
With the cartridge fitted using the alignment protractor supplied and the wiring chart (shown left), next
set the tracking force and thrust bias.
First, slide off the plastic protection shroud from the cartridge - carefully! Unclip the arm from its holder
and make sure that the bias adjuster is set to zero, use the balance weight to `float' the stylus about 1mm
clear of a record, then dial inwards with the weight, (1 complete turn = 2g) until the cartridge's tracking
weight is achieved. Finally, set the bias adjuster to the same setting.
