DO NOT cut off the mains plug from this equipment. If the plug fitted is not
suitable for the power points in your home or the cable is too short to reach
a power point, then obtain an appropriate safety approved extension lead
or consult your dealer. If, nonetheless, the mains plug is cut off, REMOVE
THE FUSE and dispose of the PLUG immediately, to avoid possible shock
hazard by inadvertent connection to the mains supply. If this product is
not provided with a mains plug, or one has to be fitted, then follow the
instructions given below:
Batteries bearing any of these symbols indicate
that they should be treated as“separate
collection”and not as municipal waste. It is
encouraged that necessary measures are
implemented to maximize the separate
collection of waste batteries and to minimize the
disposal of batteries as mixed municipal waste.
important
DO NOT make any connection to the larger terminal which is marked with
the letter‘E’or by the safety earth symbol or colored GREEN or GREEN AND
YELLOW.
End-users are exhorted not to dispose waste
batteries as unsorted municipal waste. In order
to achieve a high level of recycling waste batteries, discard waste batteries
separately and properly through an accessible collection point in your
vicinity. For more information about collection and recycling of waste
batteries, please contact your local municipality, your waste disposal service
or the point of sale where you purchased the items.
The wires in the mains lead on this product are colored in accordance with
the following code:
BLUE – NEUTRAL
BROWN – LIVE
As these colors may not correspond with the colored markings identifying
the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
By ensuring compliance and conformance to proper disposal of waste
batteries, potential hazardous effects on human health is prevented and
the negative impact of batteries and waste batteries on the environment
is minimized, thus contributing to the protection, preservation and quality
improvement of the environment.
The BLUE wire must be connected to the terminal marked with the
letter‘N’or colored BLACK.
The BROWN wire must be connected to the terminal marked with the
letter‘L’or colored RED.
noteS on environmental protection
At the end of its useful life, this product must not be disposed
of with regular household waste but must be returned to a
collection point for the recycling of electrical and electronic
equipment. The symbol on the product, user’s manual and
packaging, point this out.
When replacing the fuse, only a correctly rated and approved type should
be used, and be sure to re-fit the fuse cover.

The C 545BEE CD Player is a technologically advanced and highly capable
product — yet we have invested great effort in making it simple and easy
to use. We have been careful to ensure that the C 545BEE is as musically
transparent and spatially accurate as possible, incorporating much of what
we’ve learned from a quarter-century’s experience designing audio and
home-theater components. As with all our products, NAD’s“Music First”
design philosophy guided the C 545BEE’s design in such a way that it can
confidently promise you state-of-the-art audiophile-quality music listening
for years to come.
We encourage you to take a few minutes now to read right through this
manual. Investing a little time here at the outset might save you a good
deal of time later, and is by far the best way to ensure that you make the
most of your investment in the C 545BEE.
One more thing: We urge you to register your C 545BEE ownership on the
NAD Worldwide Web site:
For warranty information contact your local distributor.

Please make all the connections to your C 545BEE with the unit unplugged.
It is also advisable to power down or unplug all associated components
while making or breaking any signal or AC power connections.
Save the packaging
Please save the box and all of the packaging in which your C 545BEE
arrived. Should you move or otherwise need to transport your C 545BEE,
this is by far the safest container in which to do so. We’ve seen too many
otherwise perfect components damaged in transit for lack of a proper
shipping carton, so please: Save that box!

Choose a location that is well ventilated (with at least several inches to
both sides and behind), and that will provide a clear line of sight, within
23 feet/7 meters, between the C 545BEE’s front panel and your primary
listening/viewing position. This will ensure reliable infrared remote control
communications. The C 545BEE generates a modest amount of heat, but
nothing that should trouble adjacent components. It is perfectly possible to
stack the C 545BEE on top of other components.

NOTE ON INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT! Install the C 545BEE 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 C 545BEE 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 C 545BEE away from other devices or switch it off
when viewing or listening to broadcasts.

The C 545BEE can play back CD-R or CD-RW audio discs that have been
recorded on a computer or CD recorder. The quality of CD-R or CD-RW
audio discs varies widely which may affect playability. Some factors that
affect playability:
•
•
•
The quality of the disc itself. Generally speaking, CD-R or CD-RW blanks from
well-renowned companies give better results than unbranded ones.
The quality of CD-recorder or computer CD re/writer. Some recorders
and writers produce better results than others.
The CD-R and CD-RW were created with high-speed writing. In general,
the quality of a CD-R or CD-RW is better when produced at a lower
speed against a higher speed on the same recorder or re/writer.
