A NOTE ON INSTALLATION

Install the 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.

PLAYING COMPACT DISCS

A SIMPLE APPROACH

1. Connect a stereo cable from the L (left) and R

(right) Line Output jacks to the corresponding CD

inputs on your amplifier.

2. Plug in the AC power cord.

3. Press the green POWER button to turn on the

player.

4. Press OPEN to open the disc drawer.

5. Place a CD, label side up, in the tray's circular

recess. Be certain that the disc is centered 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

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 re-set the

pickup to the beginning of the disc.

REAR PANEL CONNECTIONS (fig.1)

1. LINE OUTPUT.

Connect a cable from these jacks to your amplifier.

Plug one end of a stereo audio cable 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.

2. 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 (fig.2)

1. POWER ON/OFF.

Press this green button to switch on the power to

the disc player. Press again and release to switch

the power off.

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

accommodate a `damping disc' placed on a CD,

nor two CDs stacked together. It plays audio CDs,

but not discs identified as CD-V, DVD, CD-I, CD-

ROM, or PHOTO CD.

3. DISPLAY.

The display provides information about playback

status and about the laser 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 time elapsed

since the beginning of the current track. Using the

TIME button you can switch the display to show the

playing time remaining to the end of the disc.

When you load a different disc and use the OPEN

button to close the disc drawer, the display shows

the number of tracks and the total playing time of all

the tracks on the disc.

Status A right-pointing arrowhead

, located

near the left edge of the time display, glows during

PLAY. Two vertical bars

indicate that the player

is in PAUSE. In STOP mode the display reverts to

showing the number of tracks and total playing time

of the disc.

`no disc' glows in the display when no disc is

present or when you load a disc that cannot be

read (because it is dirty or is upside-down).

REPEAT ONE glows in the upper-left corner during

repeat-play of a single track. REPEAT ALL glows

during repeat-play of the entire program or disc.

REMAIN glows in the top centre area of the display

if you have pressed the TIME button to show the

remaining time in the track, disc.

Remote receiver. An infrared sensor, located the

right-hand portion of the display window, receives

commands from the remote control. There must be

a clear line-of-sight path from the remote control to

NAD 522 COMPACT DISC PLAYER

this window; if that path is obstructed, the remote

control may not work.

4. OPEN.

Press this button to open the disc drawer, and

press it again to close the drawer. If this button is

pressed while a disc is being played, the playback

will stop, the pickup will re-set to the beginning of

the disc, and the drawer will open.

When the disc drawer is open, the drawer-closing

mechanism can also be activated by pressing PLAY

or by gently pushing the drawer inward.

CAUTION: The disc drawer is opened and closed

by an internal motor. Do not close the drawer by

hand with the power off.

When the drawer closes, the player scans the disc's

`table of contents' and displays the number of

tracks and total playing time on the disc. If you

press PLAY to close the drawer this display is

skipped, and play commences immediately at

Track 1.

5. PLAY/PAUSE.

This dual-function button alternates between

starting and stopping playback. Press to start play

or to resume play after Pause. During play, press

this button to stop playback temporarily, keeping

the laser at its current position on the disc.

The PLAY mode is identified by a right-pointing

arrowhead

in the display. In the PAUSE mode

is identified by two vertical bars

To resume playback at the exact point where it

stopped, press PLAY/PAUSE again. If you don't

want to resume play at the same point, you may

use the SKIP and SCAN controls to cue the pickup

to a different starting point before pressing PLAY

again.

6. TIME.

The TIME button has two modes, as follows:

TIME: the elapsed time since the beginning of the

current track, in minutes and seconds. (This is the

`default' setting, selected automatically when the

player is turned on.)

REMAIN (track number blank): the total playing time

that remains until the end of the disc and the total

number of remaining tracks (including the current

track). During program play the remaining time in

the program is shown.

7. STOP.

This button stops play, cancels any repeat-play

cycle, and re-sets the pickup to the beginning of

the disc. The display reverts to showing the number

of tracks and total playing time on the disc.

8. REPEAT.

This button engages an endless-repeat cycle.

Press the Repeat button once to select the

REPEAT ONE mode, in which only the current track

is repeated over and over again. Pressing the

Repeat button once again selects the REPEAT ALL

mode, in which the entire disc is played from

beginning to end, over and over again. Press the

Repeat button a third time to cancel the repeat

cycle and return to normal operation.

9. RANDOM.

Pressing RANDOM will play all the tracks on the CD

in a random order. Press RANDOM either from the

Stop or the Play mode and the 522 will play the

tracks on the CD in random order until all the tracks

have been played.

Press RANDOM button again to cancel Random

play and return the 522 to the normal Play mode.

When the 522 is in Random mode `RANDOM' will

be shown in the Display Panel.

10. SCAN BACK

The SCAN

button causes the optical pickup to

scan backward through the recording at high

speed. This button works only while the player is in

PLAY or PAUSE. After a STOP command, or after

loading a new disc, you must press PLAY before

the scan circuit will work.

If the scan is initiated while the player is in PAUSE

the scan is silent, approximately 15-20 times faster

than playing speed. If the scan is initiated during

PLAY it is much slower (approximately three times

playing speed), and the music will be heard in

fragmentary form at reduced volume as the player

scans through it. Use this `audible scan' to cue the

player precisely to the spot where you want to

resume play.

If you scan back to the beginning of the disc while

playing Track 1, the player automatically reverts to

normal playback.

11. SCAN FORWARD

The SCAN

button causes the optical pickup to

scan rapidly forward through the music. The

behavior of this function is similar to SCAN

If you scan forward to the end of the disc while

playing the final track, the scan will stop and the

Time display will show the table of contents. (There

is no `wrap-around' mode.)

12. SKIP BACK

The SKIP

button causes the laser to jump

backward to the beginning of each numbered track

on the disc. The first press skips back to the

beginning of the current track. Press SKIP

twice to skip back to the previous track.

Continuous pressure will cause the player to skip

tracks repeatedly, concluding at the beginning of

the disc (Track 1).

Pressing SKIP

once during play causes the

pickup to jump back to the beginning of the current
