CD555
4 CD555 Introduction and Installation
The CD555 CD Player can only be operated from a Naim CD 555PS Power Supply.
Connection of the power supply is illustrated in Section 5.2. CD player control and
operation is described in Sections 16, 17 and 18.
The CD555 should be installed on a dedicated equipment stand intended for the purpose.
To improve sound quality the player has hard metallic feet which may blemish any
delicate surface on which it is placed. 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.
Seven transit screws on the underside of the CD555 case should be removed before use
and must be replaced if the unit is to be moved or re-packed and shipped. Transit screw
locations are shown, and notes on their removal are provided, below. The transit screws
must not be used in any other Naim product. Do not invert the player while removing the
transit screws or once the transit screws are removed.
The player and power supply should be installed in their final locations before connecting
cables or switching on. Ensure that power amplifiers are switched off and the preamplifier
volume is turned down before the power supply is switched on. The power button is
located on the front panel.
The player and power supply are heavy and care should be taken when lifting or moving
them. Make sure that the surface on which they are to be placed can support their
weight.
4.1 Transit Screws
Seven transit screws must be removed from the underside
of the CD555 before use and be replaced if the player
is to be carried any distance, packed or shipped. The
transit screw locations are illustrated in the diagram below.
CD555 transit screws must not be used with any other Naim
product.
The player must not be inverted either during or after transit
screw removal.
To gain access to the
transit screws, position
one side of the player
over the edge of a table,
remove (or replace) the
screws that become
accessible and then
repeat as necessary
with other sides of the
player to access the
remaining screws. If the
transit screws are to
be replaced the three
different types must be
used in their correct
locations.
