NAD 3 GB NAD C 520 COMPACT DISC PLAYER 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 analogue audio signals, video and digital signal cables often are colour-coded with yellow plugs.) INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION AND OPERATION NOTE ON INSTALLATION Install the 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 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 signals. If this occurs, move the CD player away from other devices or switch it off when viewing or listening to broadcasts. 3. 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. 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 automatically, and the disc begins to play. 7. At any time you may press SKIP select different tracks on the disc. or to 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 surface 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 accommodate 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; typically each numbered track will correspond to a different song, symphonic movement, etc. These track numbers are identified on the CD package and are encoded in the disc by its manufacturer. 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 numbers. 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 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 beginning 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 output jack. The serial data output is taken after the error correction but before the digital-to-analogue conversion 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 NAD 4 GB 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 present or when you load a disc that cannot be read (because it is dirty or is upside-down).
