Disc Drawer - NAD S500 Manuel D'installation

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 window lights
up when power is ON, and "NO DISC" is shown if there is no disc in
the drawer. The blue LED above the ON/OFF button lights up briefly
when ON/OFF is activated, but it goes out again immediately.
The blue LED lights up permanently only to indicate the S500 is in
stand-by mode if the unit is turned off from an NAD system remote
control with STANDBY button. If this option is used, the S500 may
be switched on again by pressing the STANDBY button of the system
remote, or by pressing and releasing the ON/OFF button on the front
of the S500 to switch it off, and then press it again to switch it on.
Please note that the remote control which comes with the S500 does
not feature a STANDBY button.
If the unit is not going to be used for some time, disconnect the plug
from the AC socket.

2. DISC DRAWER

To play a disc, press the STOP/OPEN button to open the disc drawer.
Place the CD within the large circular recess in the drawer, with its
transparent 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, but
not discs identified as CD-V, CD-I, CD-ROM, PHOTO CD, or DVD.
3. 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 the word "PLAY" in the display. In the
pause mode, the word "PAUSE" is displayed instead.
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 controls to cue the pickup to a different
starting point before pressing PLAY/PAUSE again.
4. STOP/OPEN
Press this button to open the disc drawer, and press it again to close
the drawer. If this button is pressed once while a disc is being played,
the playback will stop and the pickup will re-set to the beginning of
the disc. A second press opens the drawer.
When the disc drawer is open, the drawer-closing mechanism can
also be activated by pressing PLAY/PAUSE.
CAUTION: DO NOT try to close the drawer by pushing it in by hand,
no matter if the player is ON or OFF. The disc drawer is opened and
closed by an internal motor, which may be damaged if forced.
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/PAUSE to close the drawer, this display
is skipped, and play commences immediately at Track 1.
5. SKIP BACK & SCAN BACK
The and functions are combined in one SKIP/SCAN Back
button. One press skips back to the beginning of the previous track.
Press twice to skip back two tracks and so on.
If you try to SKIP Back past the first track on the disc, then "ERR"
will appear in the display, then play the first track.
The SCAN Back function is activated by pressing the same
button, but keeping it depressed for more than 2 seconds. This
causes the laser to scan backwards continuously, first slowly, after a
few seconds rapidly, until the button is released. This function works
only while the player is in PLAY or PAUSE. After a STOP command, or
after loading a new disc, you must press PLAY/PAUSE before the scan
circuit will work.
If the scan is initiated while the player is in PAUSE, the scan is silent.
If the scan is initiated during PLAY, 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 stops scanning and resumes PLAY or PAUSE when you let
go of the button.
6. SKIP FORWARD & SCAN FORWARD
The and functions are combined in one SKIP/SCAN
Forward button. During play, pressing SKIP Forward
the laser to the beginning of the next track and resume play there.
Thus, to sample each song on a disc, press PLAY/PAUSE and then tap
SKIP Forward after you've heard a few seconds of each track.
If you try to SKIP Forward past the last track on the disc, then "ERR"
will appear in the display, then play the last track.
The SCAN Forward function is activated by pressing the same
button, but keeping it depressed for more than 2 seconds. This
causes the laser to scan rapidly forward through the music. The
behaviour of this function is similar to SCAN Back
If you scan forward to the end of the disc while playing the final
track, the scan will stop and the Time display will keep showing the
final end time. (There is no "wrap-around" mode.) When you let go
of the button, the player switches to STOP mode.
