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.
note:
If an HDCD® encoded compact disc is loaded the
CD5x will automatically recognise and decode it. The
display will read HDCD for a few seconds after play is
pressed.
15.2 Power supply upgrade
The CD5x can be upgraded through the addition of an
external Flatcap 2, Flatcap 2x or Hi-Cap Power Supply.
The external supply works with the internal power supply
of the CD5x to offer both a greater number of separate
supplies and more sophisticated voltage regulation. The
Power Supply is connected to the CD5x via a five pin
DIN cable. Switch off both the power supply and CD5x
when making connections. Remove the link plug and
connect the supply cable ensuring that the connectors
are securely attached. Switch on both the CD5x and the
power supply from their respective power buttons.
15.3 Player maintenance
It is important for reliable operation of the CD5x 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.
