If an indoor antenna is used (either built into the set or installed separately), never allow any part of the antenna to touch the metal parts of other electrical appliances such as a lamp, TV set etc. ATTENTION CAUTION CAUTION POWER LINES Any outdoor antenna must be located away from all power lines. OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING If an outside antenna is connected to your tuner or tunerpreamplifier, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984, provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes and requirements for the grounding electrode. a. Use No. 10 AWG (5.3mm2) copper, No. 8 AWG (8.4mm2) aluminium, No. 17 AWG (1.0mm2) copper-clad steel or bronze wire, or larger, as a ground wire. b. Secure antenna lead-in and ground wires to house with stand-off insulators spaced from 4-6 feet (1.22 - 1.83 m) apart. c. Mount antenna discharge unit as close as possible to where leadin enters house. d. Use jumper wire not smaller than No.6 AWG (13.3mm2) copper, or the equivalent, when a separate antenna-grounding electrode is used. see NEC Section 810-21 (j). EXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDING AS PER NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE INSTRUCTIONS CONTAINED IN ARTICLE 810 - RADIO AND TELEVISION EQUIPMENT. NOTE TO CATV SYSTEM INSTALLER: This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer's attention to Article 820-40 of the National Electrical Code that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the ground cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical. 2 REAR PANEL CONNECTIONS FRONT PANEL CONTROLS REMOTE CONTROL CLASS 1 LASER product LUOKAN 1 LASERPLAITE KLASS 1 LASERAPPARAT THIS DIGITAL APPARATUS DOES NOT EXCEED THE CLASS B LIMITS FOR RADIO NOISE EMISSIONS FROM DIGITAL APPARATUS AS SET OUT IN THE RADIO INTERFERENCE REGULATIONS OF THE CANADIAN DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNICATIONS.

Be certain that the disc is centred within the recess. 6 Press PLAY/PAUSE. The drawer closes automatically, and the disc begins to play. 7 At any time you may press SKIP or to select different tracks on the disc. 8 Press PLAY/PAUSE if you want to stop play temporarily while keeping the pickup at its current position on the disc. Press PLAY/PAUSE again when you want to resume playback. Press STOP if you want to end play and reset the pickup to the beginning of the disc. NOTE ON INSTALLATION Install the NAD C 521BEE Compact Disc player on a level, vibration-free surface. (Severe vibration, or operation in a tilted position, may cause the player to mis-track.) The player may be stacked with other stereo components, as long as there is adequate ventilation around it. If the player is placed in close proximity to a radio tuner (AM or FM), a VCR, or a television set, the operation of its digital circuits may produce static that would interfere with reception of weak broadcast signals. If this occurs, move the CD player away from other devices or switch it off when viewing or listening to broadcasts. REAR PANEL CONNECTIONS 1. LINE OUTPUT Connect a cable from these jacks to your amplifier. Plug one end of a twin RCA-to-RCA lead into the L (upper) and R (lower) output jacks. Connect the other end of the cable to your stereo amplifier's CD input, or to any other "line-level" input jacks (such as the AUXiliary inputs). Do NOT connect this cable to the amplifier's PHONO input jacks. The RCA sockets on your NAD C 521BEE are colour coded for convenience. Red and White are Right and Left audio respectively, and yellow for Digital Out. Ensure that leads and sockets are not damaged in any way and all sockets are firmly pushed home. 2. DIGITAL OUTPUT The digital playback signal is available at this output jack. The serial data output is taken after the error correction but before the digital-toanalogue conversion and filtering. The output is transformer-isolated from the built-in D-to-A circuits. It may be connected to any digital signal processor that conforms to the Sony/Philips (SPDIF) standard. To use the digital output, connect a cable from this jack to the "CD Digital" or equivalent input on a digital processor or recorder. For best results, the cable should be a 75 ohm coaxial cable of the type used for video signals, with an RCA phono plug at each end. (To distinguish them from similar phono-plug cables used for analogue audio signals, video and digital signal cables often are colour-coded with yellow plugs.) 3. AC LINE CORD Connect this power cord to an AC mains wall outlet or to an AC convenience outlet at the rear of your amplifier. FRONT PANEL CONTROLS 1. POWER ON/OFF Press this button to switch on the power to the disc player. Press again and release to switch the power off. The display will light up to indicate the unit is switched on and ready for use. 2. DISC DRAWER To play a disc, press the OPEN button to open the disc drawer. Place the CD within the large circular recess in the drawer, with its transparent playing surface facing down. The label must face UP. CD-3 discs (3-inch CD "singles") can be played without the aid of an adapter. Place the disc in the drawer, centered in the smaller circular recess, with its label facing UP. NOTE: This player was not designed to accommodate a "damping disc" placed on a CD, nor two CDs stacked together. It plays audio CDs and CD-RW, but not discs identified as CD-V, DVD, CD-I, CD-ROM, or PHOTO CD. Refer also to chapter "A note on CD-R and CD-RW audio discs" 3. DISPLAY The display provides information about playback status and about the optical pickup's location on the disc. The displayed track/time information is obtained by reading inaudible "sub-codes" in the disc. TRACK NUMBER Each disc is segmented into numbered tracks when the recording is made; typically each numbered track will correspond to a different song, symphonic movement, etc. These track numbers are identified on the CD package and are encoded in the disc by its manufacturer. In some CDs, at the manufacturer's option, tracks may be sub-divided into sections identified by Index numbers. This player does not display Index numbers. TIME Normally this display shows the t ...
