12 CD5 XS In Use
12.1 Signal Output Selection
The CD5 XS can provide either analogue or S/PDIF format
digital signal output. The analogue output is carried by
either a single DIN socket or a pair of RCA phono sockets.
The digital output is carried by a single 75Ω BNC socket.
Digital and analogue outputs may not be used
simultaneously. Selection is achieved by using the rear
panel mounted switch. The CD5 XS must be switched off
before the output selection switch is operated. Ensure the
correct cables are connected before switching the
CD5 XS back on.
Note:
Your local retailer will be able to offer advice on
digital output cables.
12.2 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
CD5 XS will automatically recognise and decode it. The
display will read HDCD for a few seconds after play is
pressed.
12.3 Power Supply Upgrade
The CD5 XS analogue output stage can be upgraded
through the addition of an external Flatcap or Hi-Cap
Power Supply. The external supply works with the internal
power supply of the CD5 XS to offer both a greater
number of separate supplies and more sophisticated
voltage regulation. The Power Supply is connected to the
CD5 XS via a five pin DIN cable. Switch off both the power
supply and CD5 XS when making connections. Remove
the link plug and connect the supply cable ensuring that
the connectors are securely attached. Switch on both the
CD5 XS and the power supply from their respective power
buttons.
12.4 Player Maintenance
It is important for reliable operation of the CD5 XS 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.
