PLAY
The Calendar display track listing will indicate the selected
program.
The coil springs should contact the (-) end of each cell. Push the
battery compartment cover back and press gently until it latches.
In some cases, corrosion or fingerprint oil on the battery contacts
may cause poor operation. Remove both cells, rub the metal
contacts at both ends of each cell with a clean cloth or a pencil
eraser, and re-install the cells, being careful to orient them
correctly.
Developed by Pacific Microsonics in the USA, HDCD ® (High
Definition Compatible Digital
®
) is a patented encode/decode
process for delivering the full richness and detail of the recording.
HDCD ® encoded CDs sound better because they are encoded with
20-bits of real musical information, as compared to 16-bits for all
other CDs. HDCD
® overcomes the limitation of the 16-bit CD
format by using a sophisticated system to encode the additional
four bits onto the CD while remaining completely compatible with
the existing CD format.
The result is a larger dynamic range, a more focused 3-D
soundstage, and natural vocal and musical timbre. An HDCD-
encoded disc played on the HDCD-equipped NAD
C 542
CD player
produces audibly superior clarity and depth. Enhanced
performance will also be obtained from standard CDs.
The NAD
C 542
CD player will automatically identify an HDCD ®
encoded disc and activate its HDCD
®
decoder. The red indicator
will light up when it’s playing an HDCD ® encoded disc.
CD-R & VD-RW AUDIO DISCS
The
C 542
can play back CD-R, CDRW audio discs that have been
recorded on a computer or CD-recorder. The quality of CD-R,
CD-RW audio discs varies widely which may affect playability.
Some factors that affect playability:
• The quality of the disc itself. Generally speaking, CD-R, CD-RW
blanks from well-renowned companies give better results
than unbranded ones.
• The quality of CD-recorder or computer CD re/writer. Some
recorders and writers produce better results than others.
• The CD-R & CD-RW was created with high-speed writing. In
