track and play it again. To access the previous track
while in Play you must tap SKIP
succession, once to reach the beginning of the
current track and again to jump to the previous
track.
13. SKIP FORWARD
During play, pressing SKIP
to the beginning of the next track and resume play
there. Thus, to sample each song on a disc, press
PLAY and then tap SKIP
few seconds of each track.
REMOTE CONTROL
A wireless remote control is provided with your
compact disc player, enabling you to operate
playback functions from the comfort of your chair or
from virtually anywhere in the room.
For reliable operation there should be a clear line-
of-sight path from the remote control to the front of
the CD player. If the player does not respond to
remote commands, it may be that this line-of-sight
path is obstructed by clothing, paper, or
furnishings.
Numeric keypad Most of the buttons on the remote
control handset have the same effect as the
corresponding buttons on the front panel of the
disc player. In addition the handset is equipped with
a direct-entry numeric keypad, which causes the
player to jump directly to the beginning of a
numbered track and commence play. Thus to play
Track 5, simply press 5. To play Track 23 press +10,
+10, 3.
Installing and replacing batteries
The remote control requires two 1.5-volt AAA-size
(i.e. UM-4 or IEC RO3) cells. Alkaline cells are
recommended, to obtain maximum operating life.
To open the battery compartment, place your
fingertip in the recess on the rear of the remote
control , push against the flexible edge of the
battery cover and lift the cover upwards. Install
fresh cells, orienting them as shown on the diagram
within the compartment. The coil springs should
contact the (-) end of each cell. Push the battery
compartment cover back and press gently until it
latches.
In some cases, poor operation may be caused by
corrosion or fingerprint oil on the battery contacts.
Remove both cells, rub the metal contacts at both
ends of each cell with a clean cloth or a pencil
eraser, and re-install the cells, being careful to orient
them correctly.
MAINTENANCE
At periodic intervals, open the disc drawer and wipe
with a damp cloth to remove any loose dust.

HANDLING COMPACT DISCS
twice in rapid Handle Compact Discs with care. The playback of
a disc will not be impaired by small dust particles, a
few light fingerprints, or slight scratches. But large
scratches, or a thick layer of oily fingerprints, can
prevent the player from tracking the disc.
(Incidentally, although the tracking laser 'plays' the
will jump the laser disc through its clear side, the actual data surface
is embedded directly beneath the label, protected
only by a very thin coating of lacquer. So a scratch
after you've heard a that cuts through the label may damage the disc
more than a similar scratch on the transparent
'playing' surface. Thus you should treat both
surfaces of the disc with care.)
Severe scratches or fingerprints may cause the
player to mis-track (skipping ahead, or repeating
the same passage). Less severe damage may
produce very brief bursts of high-frequency noise.
The tracking and error-correction circuits of this
NAD CD player are unusually sophisticated,
providing secure tracking of flawed discs that are
unplayable on some other players. Nevertheless,
the discs should not be abused or handled
carelessly.
For best results, grasp the disc only by its edges.
Another safe method is to put a finger in the center
hole, using the thumb at the edge to hold the disc
steady.
Each disc should be kept in its protective storage
case when not in use. To open the standard Philips-
type plastic CD case, grasp the top and bottom of
the case with the fingers and thumb of the left
hand; then grasp the left and right edges of the
case with the fingers and thumb of the right hand,
and pull the case open with the right thumb.
The disc is held in place within the case by an
expansion hub in its center hole. To remove the
disc, press the hub with a finger to release the disc,
then lift it out by gripping its edges between the
fingers and thumb. To replace the disc in the case,
simply align its center hole with the hub and press
the disc onto the hub.
CLEANING DISCS
Soiled discs may be cleaned by wiping with a soft
cloth, either dry or moistened with water. Do NOT
use conventional LP record-cleaning products
(cleaning solutions, sprays, treated cloths, or anti-
static preparations), nor any kind of chemical
solvent (alcohol, benzene, et al). A severely soiled
disc may be washed in a warm-water spray,
possibly with a small amount of a mild kitchen
detergent added, and then wiped dry with a clean,
soft towel.
When cleaning the disc, use only RADIAL strokes
(from center to edge). Never use a circular wiping
motion like that used for cleaning ordinary LP
records, because in wiping the disc there is a risk of
scratching it. A radial scratch will do the least harm
