User manual NAD S500

[. . . ] 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 constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. 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. [. . . ] To use this option, connect a cable from the NAD Link OUT socket to the NAD Link IN jack on another product. The NAD Link IN connector 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 (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. The wiring standard used for these connectors is: Pin 1: Chassis Earth (GROUND) Pin 2: Hot (+ OUT) Pin 3: Signal Ground (- OUT) With a conventional (unbalanced) connection, audio signal current flows from the CD player to the amplifier via the cable's centre conductor. To complete the circuit, audio signal current flows back to the CD player ground via the cable's outer conductor. the outer conductor also serves as the cable's shield. The S500 comes supplied with a separate AC Mains cable. Before connecting the cable to a live wall socket ensure that it is firmly connected to the NAD S500's AC Mains input socket first. Always disconnect the AC Mains cable plug from the live wall socket first, before disconnecting the cable from the S500 Mains input socket. Press this button to switch on the power to the disc player. Press again and release to switch the power off. The display window lights up when power is ON, and "NO DISC" is shown if there is no disc in the drawer. The blue LED above the ON/OFF button lights up briefly when ON/OFF is activated, but it goes out again immediately. The blue LED lights up permanently only to indicate the S500 is in stand-by mode if the unit is turned off from an NAD system remote control with STANDBY button. If this option is used, the S500 may be switched on again by pressing the STANDBY button of the system remote, or by pressing and releasing the ON/OFF button on the front of the S500 to switch it off, and then press it again to switch it on. Please note that the remote control which comes with the S500 does not feature a STANDBY button. If the unit is not going to be used for some time, disconnect the plug from the AC socket. One press skips back to the beginning of the previous track. Press twice to skip back two tracks and so on. If you try to SKIP Back past the first track on the disc, then "ERR" will appear in the display, then play the first track. The SCAN Back function is activated by pressing the same button, but keeping it depressed for more than 2 seconds. [. . . ] Less severe damage may produce very brief bursts of high-frequency noise. The tracking and error-correction circuits of this NAD CD player are unusually sophisticated, providing secure tracking of flawed discs that are unplayable on some other players. An infrared remote control is provided with your S500, enabling you to operate playback functions from the comfort of your chair or from virtually anywhere in the room. For reliable operation there should be a clear line-of-sight path from the remote control to the front of the CD player. [. . . ]
