13  CD5si Introduction and Installation

The CD5

s

i should be installed on a dedicated equipment stand intended for the purpose. Do 

not stand the player directly on top of another item of Naim Audio equipment. Care should be 
taken to ensure that the player is level.

A transit screw on the underside of the CD5

s

i case should be removed before use and must be 

replaced if the unit is to be re-packed and shipped. This transit screw must not be used in any 
other Naim product. Do not invert the player once the transit screw is removed.

15 CD5si In Use

15.1 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.

15.2 Player Maintenance

It is important for reliable operation of the CD5

s

i 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:

 RCA phono and DIN output sockets should not be 

connected simultaneously.
