NOTE: In some cases, poor operation may be
caused by slight corrosion or fingerprint oil on the bat-
tery contacts. Remove both cells, rub the metal con-
tacts at both ends of each cell with a clean cloth or a
pencil eraser, and reinstall the cells, being careful to
orient them according to the diagram in the battery
compartment.
If the remote control will not be used for several
months (or longer), remove the batteries to protect the
handset from battery corrosion.
OPERATION OF REMOTE CONTROL
The letters of each section or in brackets refer to the
remote control drawing.
The remote control operates by emitting a digitally
coded beam of infrared light through the LED in the top
end of the handset. Aim the top-end towards the NAD
Model 523 disc player while pressing the buttons on
the handset. There must be a clear line-of-sight path
from the handset to the IR sensor located in the play-
er's display window.
NOTE: If either the LED in the top-end of the handset
or the display window of the player is obstructed by
papers or other objects, the player may not respond to
remote commands. Remote-control operation may also
be impaired if the front of the player is exposed to
direct sunlight or a bright incandescent light.
The remote control contains features that are not on
the player itself: A numeric keypad for direct entry of
track numbers. The keypad buttons (0 to 10; +10) (A)
are also required when programming the player for
automatic play using the MEMORY button (B). The
CLEAR button (C) deletes the last selected entry from
memory Play. The RANDOM button (D) allows for ran-
dom play of all discs.
The remaining remote-control buttons have the same
effect as the corresponding buttons on the player's
front panel apart from the PLAY button: On both the
remote control and the front panel, Play commences
playback from Stop or Pause. Unlike the PLAY button
on the front panel however, pressing the PLAY button
on the remote control whilst a disc is playing engages
Pause.
A. TRACK SELECT KEYPAD (0 to 10; +10).
Jumps directly to the beginning of a numbered track
and commences play. To play or select Track 5, simply
press 5. To play or select Track 23 press +10, +10, 3.
B. MEMORY (ENTRY OR ERASE).
The player can be programmed for automatic play-
back of up to 40 tracks in any order. These tracks may
be selected from a single disc or from any combination
of up to five discs. The track list is entered through the
remote control. Press MEMORY to engage the pro-
gram mode. Press MEMORY again when you want to
exit from Memory Play mode and erase your track list
from the player's memory. Switching power off also
erases a programmed track list.
Store your desired track sequence in the memory as
follows:

1. If MEMORY is illuminated in the display, press
MEMORY on the remote control to erase the previous
program.
2. If you want to program tracks from only one disc,
select that disc using one of the DISC 1 to 5 or NEXT
buttons on either the front panel or the remote control
before you engage the MEMORY mode. If your pro-
gram will include tracks from two or more discs, the
current disc number is unimportant.
3. Press MEMORY on the remote control to engage
the program mode. MEMORY will appear in the dis-
play.
4. To program tracks from only the current disc, use
the Track Select keys to enter the list of track numbers.
For example to program tracks 3, 5,14, 9,12, and 7 (in
that order) for automatic play, press the buttons as fol-
lows:

To program a sequence of tracks from two or more
discs, you must specify the disc number as well as the
track number. To include all tracks of one of the discs
first specify the disc number and press 0 on the track
numeric keypad. For example, to play the following
series of tracks: Disc 3 Track 5, Disc 1 Track 10, Disc 2
all Tracks, Disc 5 Track 7, Disc3 Track l4, press the
buttons as follows:
MEMORY

After each correct selection entry the display will
show the total amount of programmed selections for
approximately two seconds. In the example above the
display will show P - 05 to indicate that 5 selections
have been memorised.
NOTE: Each track counts as one selection. However,
selecting all tracks of a disc by pressing 0 on the track
numeric keypad after specifying the disc number
counts as one selection.
