12 CDX2 In use
12.1 Disc Loading
To load a compact disc pull open the CD drawer using the
handle on the left hand side of the player. Place the disc
on the platter followed by the magnetic puck. Do not use
a puck from any other Naim CD player. Different Naim CD
players use dissimilar pucks.
note:
If an HDCD® encoded compact disc is loaded the
CDX2 will automatically recognise and decode it. The
display will temporarily read HDCD after play is selected.
12.2 Power supply upgrade
The CDX2 can be upgraded by the addition of a CD
555PS or XPS Power Supply. The external supply takes over
from the internal power supply of the CDX2 and offers
both a greater number of separate supplies and more
sophisticated voltage regulation.
The external supply is connected to the CDX2 via a heavy
duty “Burndy” cable. Switch off both the power supply and
CDX2 when making connections and remove the CDX2
mains cable. Remove the CDX2 link plug and connect the
Burndy cable ensuring that the connectors are securely
attached and their twist lock mechanisms are engaged.
Switch on the power supply from its front panel power
button. After a short while the CDX2 will function as normal.
12.3 Player maintenance
It is important for reliable operation of the CDX2 to ensure
that the surfaces of the transport platter and the underside
of the puck are free of dust or debris which can prevent
the disc from sitting properly and cause it to slip.
To clean the transport platter, take a piece of Blu-tack and
lightly apply it to the top surface of the magnetic metal
hub, picking up any material attached to it. Brush the
plastic outer edge lightly with your finger or a soft brush to
ensure that it is dust and particle free. Similarly, clean the
puck with Blu-tack, to remove debris from its underside.
Do not, under any circumstances, use any solvents or fluids
for the cleaning process.
note
If a CD 555PS Power Supply is used to power a CDX2
player use only power supply output Socket 1.
