NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL. WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS UNIT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE. The lightning flash with an arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitutet a risk of electric shock to persons. The unit should be installed so that its location or position does not interfere with its proper ventilation. For example, it should not be situated on a bed, sofa, rug or similar surface that may block the ventilation openings; or if placed in a built-in installation, such as a bookcase or cabinet, that may impede the flow of air through its ventilation openings, there should be at least 20cm (8 in.) of free space behind the appliance. The unit should be situated from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves or other devices (including amplifiers) that produce heat. The unit should be connected to a power supply outlet only of the voltage and frequency marked on its rear panel. The power supply cord should be routed so that it is not likely to be walked on or pinched, especially near the plug, convenience receptacles, or where the cord exits from the unit. Unplug the unit from the wall outlet before cleaning. Never use benzine, thinner or other solvents for cleaning. Use only a soft damp cloth. The power supply cord of the unit should be unplugged from the wall outlet when it is to be unused for a long period of time or during a lightning storm. Care should be taken so that objects do not fall, and liquids are not spilled into the enclosure through any openings. This unit should be serviced by qualified service personnel when: A. The power cord or the plug has been damaged; or B. Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into the unit; or C. The unit has been exposed to rain or liquids of any kind; or D. The unit does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked change in performance; or E. The device has been dropped or the enclosure damaged. Upon completion of any servicing or repairs, request the service shop's assurance that only Factory Authorized Replacement Parts with the same characteristics as the original parts have been used, and that the routine safety checks have been performed to guarantee that the equipment is in safe operating condition. REPLACEMENT WITH UNAUTHORIZED PARTS MAY RESULT IN FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR OTHER HAZARDS. The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the product. Do not place this unit on an unstable cart, stand or tripod, bracket or table. The unit may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult and serious damage to 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. GB 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, vibrationfree 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. 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 matching 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. 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 drawing). 3. Press the POWER button (1) to turn on the player. 4. Press the OPEN button (8) to open the disc drawer. 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 locations #3 and # 4 to the front loading positions. Place your third an ...
