INTRODUCTION

Intuitive user interface

In keeping with the philosophy of the Primare range 
of systems, the CD21 can be controlled through a very 
simple and intuitive interface, designed so that it will not 
distract you from the pleasure of listening to music on 
your system.

In fact most of the features of the CD21 can be accessed 
through just six front panel push buttons. The full set of 
functions, including scan and programming, is available 
using the remote control supplied with the CD21.

Alternatively, all the functions of the CD21 can be con-
trolled by the optional C22 remote control, along with the 
other Primare components in your system.

Using the CD21 with other Primare 
products

Although the CD21 Compact Disc Player is fl exible 
enough to work with virtually any other equipment you 
have in your system, it is ideally suited for use with the 
Primare I21 Integrated Amplifi er. A particular benefi t of 
using the CD21 with a Primare preamplifi er is that you 
can control your entire system with a single remote 
control, to give you a fully integrated system with the 
simplest possible user interface.
