12 CD5 XS In Use

12.1 Signal Output Selection

The CD5 XS can provide either analogue or S/PDIF format 
digital signal output. The analogue output is carried by either a 
single DIN socket or a pair of RCA phono sockets. The digital 
output is carried by a single 75Ω BNC socket.

Digital and analogue outputs may not be used simultaneously. 
Selection is achieved by using the rear panel mounted switch. 
The CD5 XS must be switched off before the output selection 
switch is operated. Ensure the correct cables are connected 
before switching the  
CD5 XS back on.

Note:

 Your local retailer will be able to offer advice on digital 

output cables.

12.2 Disc Loading

To load a compact disc pull open the CD drawer using the 
handle on the left hand side of the player. Place the disc on 
the platter followed by the magnetic puck. Do not use a puck 
from any other Naim CD player. Different Naim CD players use 
dissimilar pucks.

Note:

 If an HDCD® encoded compact disc is loaded the CD5 XS 

will automatically recognise and decode it. The display will read 
HDCD for a few seconds after play is pressed.

12.3 Power Supply Upgrade

The CD5 XS analogue output stage can be upgraded through 
the addition of an external Flatcap or Hi-Cap Power Supply. 
The external supply works with the internal power supply of 
the CD5 XS to offer both a greater number of separate supplies 
and more sophisticated voltage regulation. The Power Supply 
is connected to the CD5 XS via a five pin DIN cable. Switch off 
both the power supply and CD5 XS when making connections. 
Remove the link plug and connect the supply cable ensuring 
that the connectors are securely attached. Switch on both the 
CD5 XS and the power supply from their respective power 
buttons.

12.4 Player Maintenance

It is important for reliable operation of the CD5 XS to ensure 
that the surfaces of the transport platter and the underside of 
the puck are free of dust or debris which can prevent the disc 
from sitting properly and cause it to slip. To clean the transport 
platter, take a piece of Blu-Tack and lightly apply it to the top 
surface of the magnetic metal hub, picking up any material 
attached to it. Brush the plastic outer edge lightly with your 
finger or a soft brush to ensure that it is dust and particle free. 
Similarly, clean the puck with Blu-Tack, to remove debris from 
its underside.

Do not, under any circumstances, use any solvents or fluids for 
the cleaning process.
