CD5
11 Installation and Operation
The CD5 CD Player can be operated either from its internal power supply alone or, for
improved performance, with an additional external Supercap, Hi-cap or Flatcap 2 Power
Supply. Connection of a Flatcap 2 is illustrated in Diagram 12.2
The CD5 should be installed on a dedicated equipment stand intended for the purpose.
Care should be taken to ensure that the player is level. Two transit screws on the
underside of the CD5 case should be removed before use and must be replaced if the
unit is to be re-packed and shipped. These transit screws must not be used in any other
Naim product. The transit screw locations are illustrated in Diagram 13.1.
11.1 disc loading
Disc loading is illustrated in Section 13.2. 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. The illustration in Section 14 will help identify the
correct puck for the CD5.
11.2 player controls
previous:
With a disc loaded but not playing the
previous
button searches the disc contents backwards,
either one track at a time, or sequentially if the
button is held. While a disc is in play, the
previous
button searches the table of contents
backwards. Play resumes with the selected
track when the button is released.
next:
The
next
button operates in the same way as
the
previous
button, but moving forwards
through the disc instead of backwards.
stop:
Stops play and resets the player to its start
condition.
play:
Plays a loaded disc from track one unless
another track has been selected. The
play
button operated while a track is playing will re-
start that track.
All CD control functions are duplicated on the
NARCOM 3
and
Flash
remote handsets. The handsets also provide CD
programming facilities. See Sections 15 and 16 for more
information.
11.3 front panel control mode selection
The CD5 has an optional front panel control mode. This
multi-function mode provides an alternative front panel
interface in which fast forward, fast reverse and pause are
selected by pressing and holding
next
,
previous
and
play
respectively.
To select multi function mode press and hold
next
while the
player is switched on. To select the standard control mode
press and hold
previous
while the player is switched on.
11.4 player display and indicators
The alphanumeric display indicates track and index numbers,
time in minutes and seconds, or various system messages.
The full stop on the right of the display window illuminates
when the player receives a signal from the remote handset.
On the far left of the display are four indicators.
pause:
Illuminates to show that pause has been
selected from the remote handset.
time:
Illuminates to indicate display of total disc time
or elapsed time of track being played.
repeat:
Illuminates to show that repeat has been
selected from the remote handset.
prog:
Illuminates to indicate that a program has been
stored. Further information on play list
programming can be found in Sections 15 and 16.
11.5 power supply upgrade
The CD5 can be upgraded through the addition of an
external Power Supply. The external supply works with the
internal power supply of the CD5 to offer both a greater
number of separate supplies and more sophisticated
voltage regulation. The Power Supply is connected to the
CD5 via a five pin DIN cable. Switch off both the Power
Supply and CD5 when making connections. Connect the
supply cable ensuring that the connectors are securely
attached. Switch on both the CD5 and the Power Supply
from their respective power buttons.
11.6 player maintenance
It is important for reliable operation of the CD5 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 the three
locating pins on its underside. Take care not to damage the
rubber pressure pads. Brush them lightly with your finger or
a soft cloth. Do not, under any circumstances, use any
solvents or fluids for the cleaning process.
