NOTES: It is advisable not to connect NAD-Link if these units that  
have their own built-in remote control command receiver and are  
positioned together, in direct view from the remote control  
handset. If you are unsure, try operating the products without  
NAD-Link first; If the unit responds to the remote control  
command, it will not be necessary to connect NAD-Link.  
NOTE ON INSTALLATION  
IMPORTANT! Before installation, remove the red plastic transit  
screw from the bottom of the unit. Remove by turning 90° counter-  
clockwise and then pulling it out of its position. Never use force to  
remove the screw; refer also to the label attached to the transit  
screw. Retain the transit screw, should you need to transport the CD  
Player over some distance (e.g. when moving house). To avoid  
damage, it is important that the transit screw is replaced.  
Never loop the last unit back to the first NAD unit in the NAD-Link  
chain. Unplug all units from the mains before connecting or  
disconnecting NAD-Link.

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.  
5. TRIGGER IN  
The 12V trigger Input allows the C541i to be switched remotely  
from STANDBY to ON and vice-versa by ancillary equipment such  
as a pre-amp, AV processor etc. The controlling device must be  
equipped with a 12V trigger output to use this feature.

the unit will go to the status directed by Trigger input when  
the switch is set to AUTO.  
2. DIGITAL OPTICAL & COAXIAL OUTPUT  
The digital playback signal is available at this output jack. The  
serial data output is taken after the error correction but before the  
digital-to-analogue conversion and filtering. The output is  
transformer-isolated from the built-in D-to-A circuits. It may be  
connected to any digital signal processor that conforms to the  
Sony/Philips (SPDIF) standard.

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, corrosion or fingerprint oil on the battery contacts  
may cause poor operation. Remove both cells, rub the metal  
contacts at both ends of each cell with a clean cloth or a pencil

DELETE  
The C541i CD Player allows to user to delete unwanted tracks in  
any desired order in either the Program Mode or the Stop Mode.  
To Delete tracks, use the sequence of commands below.  
Developed by Pacific Microsonics in the USA, HDCD® (High  
Definition Compatible Digital®) is a patented encode/decode  
process for delivering the full richness and detail of the recording.  
In Program Mode:  
1. Press DELETE. The display indicates "dE d:01"; the player is  
now ready for first Delete entry. "dE" will change to first  
memory track after 1 second.  
HDCD® encoded CDs sound better because they are encoded with  
20-bits of real musical information, as compared to 16-bits for all  
other CDs. HDCD® overcomes the limitation of the 16-bit CD  
format by using a sophisticated system to encode the additional  
four bits onto the CD while remaining completely compatible with  
the existing CD format.  
2. Use the I <<SKIP & SKIP>> I buttons to select the first  
track you would like to delete. The track number will flash.  
3. Press DELETE again to store the selected track number in  
memory. The selected track number will be deleted in the  
display. The display will advance to next location. This  
showing that the player is ready for your second entry.  
4. Repeat Steps 2 and 3 to select the delete the track numbers  
in memory, up to a maximum of 20 entries but cannot delete  
track above track 25.  
5. To play the stored program, just press PLAY. During playing,  
the SKIP buttons will access only the tracks still listed. The  
deleted songs are not listed.  
6. To clear the memory, press STOP twice, OPEN/CLOSE to  
open the drawer, or switch off the power.  
GB  
The result is a larger dynamic range, a more focused 3-D  
soundstage, and natural vocal and musical timbre. An HDCD-  
encoded disc played on the HDCD-equipped NAD C541i CD player  
produces audibly superior clarity and depth. Enhanced  
performance will also be obtained from standard CDs.  
The NAD C541i CD player will automatically identify an HDCD®  
encoded disc and activate its HDCD® decoder. The red indicator  
will light up when it’s playing an HDCD® encoded disc.  
In Stop Mode:  
CD-R & VD-RW AUDIO DISCS  
1. Press DELETE. The display indicates "dE d:01" with total  
track time. The player is ready for the first Delete entry.  
2. Use the Direct-Entry Numeric keypad buttons to select the  
first track you would like to delete. The selected track  
number will be deleted in the calendar display and the  
updated total playing time is shown on display.  
The C541i can play back CD-R, CDRW audio discs that have been  
recorded on a computer or CD-recorder. The quality of CD-R,  
CD-RW audio discs varies widely which may affect playability.

detergent added, and then wiped dry with a clean, soft towel.  
MAINTENANCE  
At periodic intervals, open the disc drawer and wipe with a damp  
cloth to remove any loose dust.  
When cleaning the disc, use only RADIAL strokes (from centre 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 because  
it affects only a small portion of each circular data track, which can  
be fully compensated by the player’ s error-correction circuits. But  
a circular scratch that follows a data track may damage such a long  
continuous segment of data that it cannot be corrected.  
HANDLING COMPACT DISCS  
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 pre-vent the player from tracking the disc.  
(Incidentally, although the tracking optical pickup “plays” the  
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 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

laser, mounted on a tracking servo-mechanism, to play the disc.  
The laser illuminates the track of microscopic pits representing  
the digital data bits, while photo-diodes detect the reflected  
illumination from the disc and convert it into an electronic signal  
which is then decoded to recover the musical waveform in each  
stereo channel.

Nevertheless, the discs should not be abused or handled  
carelessly. For best results, grasp the disc only by its edges.  
The Compact Disc player is completely safe for children to use.  
The laser operates at very low power and is concealed within the  
player mechanism. Even when the player is disassembled, the  
laser remains sealed within an optical system that causes its light  
to focus only 1 millimeter from the lens and then diverge rapidly,  
reducing its intensity to negligible levels.  
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-
