Remove the transit screw from the bottom of the unit. 2. Connect a twin RCA-to-RCA lead from the L (left) and R (right) Line Output jacks to the corresponding CD inputs on your amplifier. 3. Plug in the AC power cord. 4. Press the green POWER button to turn on the player. 5. Press OPEN to open the disc drawer. 6. Place a CD, label side up, in the tray's circular recess. Be certain that the disc is centred within the recess. 7. Press PLAY/PAUSE. The drawer closes automatically, and the disc begins to play. 8. At any time you may press SKIP or to select different tracks on the disc. 9. 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 reset the pickup to the beginning of the disc. NOTE ON INSTALLATION IMPORTANT! Before installation, remove the red plastic transit screw from the bottom of the unit. Remove by turning 90° counterclockwise and then pulling it out of its position. Never use force to remove the screw; refer also to the label attached to the transit screw. Retain the transit screw, should you need to transport the CD Player over some distance (e.g. when moving house). To avoid damage, it is important that the transit screw is replaced. 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 or the cable should be an optical cable terminated with a TOS Link connector. (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.) 3. NAD LINK IN/OUT The NAD-Link connector is used to pass commands from other units fitted with NAD-Link connectors. This allows centralised control of a complete system, and also allows some of the basic functions of other NAD components (such as a tuner, or cassette-deck) also equipped with NAD-Link to be controlled with an NAD system remote control. To function with such other units, connect the C541i's NADLink Out to the NAD-Link In on the other unit. NAD-Link connectors can be daisy-chained, IN to OUT, so that a whole system can be controlled from the remote control facilities of one unit. NOTES: It is advisable not to connect NAD-Link if these units that have their own built-in remote control command receiver and are positioned together, in direct view from the remote control handset. If you are unsure, try operating the products without NAD-Link first; If the unit responds to the remote control command, it will not be necessary to connect NAD-Link. Never loop the last unit back to the first NAD unit in the NAD-Link chain. Unplug all units from the mains before connecting or disconnecting NAD-Link. 4. IR IN This input is connected to the output of an IR (infrared) repeater (Xantech or similar), or the IR output of another component to allow control of the C541i from a remote location. Ask your dealer or custom installer for further details. 5. TRIGGER IN The 12V trigger Input allows the C541i to be switched remotely from STANDBY to ON and vice-versa by ancillary equipment such as a pre-amp, AV processor etc. The controlling device must be equipped with a 12V trigger output to use this feature. 6. TRIGGER SWITCH A. When the switch is set to the OFF position, the unit ignores any trigger In command. The front panel buttons and Power On/Off buttons on remote control toggles between Power On and Standby Mode. This is the correct setting for most installations. B. For control by an external 12V trigger signal, set the switch to AUTO position, and the C541i will Power On when the trigger Input is high (12V present). In this setting, the front panel and the remote control ON/STANDBY controls are defeated; only the 12V Trigger Input can turn the C541i ON. The unit will go to Standby mode if the trigger goes from high to low (no 12V present). The unit will not go to standby mode using any button on front panel and remote control. When the external power is first applied to the unit, the unit will go to the status directed by Trigger input when the switch is set to AUTO. 7. 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 GB Install the NAD C541i 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), 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. REAR PANEL CONNECTIONS 1. LINE OUTPUT Connect a cable from these jacks to your amplifier. Plug one end of a twin RCA-to-RCA lead 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 an ...
