CD5 XS

10  CD5 XS Introduction and Installation

The CD5 XS CD Player can be operated either from its internal power supply only or, for 
improved performance, with an additional external Naim Flatcap or Hi-Cap power supply. 
Connection of the power supply is illustrated in Diagram 14.2. CD player control and 
operation is described in Sections 16, 17 and 18.

The CD5 XS should be installed on a dedicated equipment stand intended for the purpose. Do 
not stand the player directly on top of another item of Naim Audio equipment. Care should be 
taken to ensure that the player is level.

The CD5 XS is fitted with both analogue and S/PDIF digital output options selectable using a 
rear panel switch.

A transit screw on the underside of the CD5 XS case should be removed before use and must 
be replaced if the unit is to be re-packed and shipped. This transit screw must not be used in 
any other Naim product. Do not invert the player once the transit screw is removed.

The player (and external power supply if used) should be installed in its final location before 
connecting cables or switching on. Ensure that power amplifiers are switched off and the 
preamplifier volume is turned down before the player (or external power supply) is switched 
on. The player power button is located on the rear panel. The Flatcap power supply power 
button is located on its rear panel. The Hi-Cap power supply power button is located on its 
front panel.
