SAVE THE PACKAGING

Please save the box and all the packaging in which your C 538 arrived. 
Should you move or otherwise need to transport your C 538, 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!

CHOOSING A LOCATION

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 
25 feet/8 meters, between the C 538’s front panel and your primary 
listening/viewing position. This will ensure reliable infrared remote control 
communications. The C 538 generates a modest amount of heat, but 
nothing that should trouble adjacent components. It is perfectly possible 
to stack the C 538 on top of other components.

NOTE ON INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT! 

Install the C 538 Compact Disc player on a level, vibration-free surface. 
Severe vibration or operation in a tilted position may cause the player 
to not track correctly. The player may be stacked with other stereo 
components, if there is adequate ventilation around it. If the C 538 is placed 
near 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 538 away from other 
devices or switch it off when viewing or listening to broadcasts.

QUICK START

In case you simply cannot wait to experience the performance of your 
new C 538, the following “Quick Start” instructions is provided to get you 
underway.

Please make all the connections to your C 538 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.

PLAY A CD

Connect compatible connectors from DIGITAL AUDIO OUT and LINE 
OUT ports of C 538 to corresponding audio input sources on your 
amplifier.  

Ensure that the supplied power cord’s female connector end is firmly 
secured to C 538’s AC Mains input socket and the male plug connected 
to the mains power source.

Press the front panel Standby button to turn ON the player.

Press [OPEN/CLOSE] to open the disc drawer.

Place a CD, label side up, in the tray’s circular recess. Be certain that the 
disc is centered within the recess.

Press [PLAY/PAUSE]. The drawer closes automatically, and the disc 
begins to play.
