CD Player Control and Operation
16 CD Player Control and Operation
The operation and control of all Naim CD players is based on a common user interface. This
section of the manual describes the user interface, drawing attention to differences between
players where they occur.
The CD player control buttons are duplicated on the remote control handset which may also
provide some extra functions. The handset also provides CD programming facilities. See
Sections 17 and 18 for more information.

16.2 Player Control Modes
CD players have an optional control mode. This provides an
alternative interface in which fast forward and fast reverse

16.3 Player Display and Indicators
The alphanumeric display indicates track and index numbers,

is programmed the time displayed reflects the duration of the
programme. Depending on the model in question, some or all
of the indicators described below will be found adjacent to the
display:

HDCD decoding is not implemented on the CD5si.

16.4 Output Socket Selection

socket. Proceed as follows to select the RCA Phono sockets.
With the player stopped, press and hold the remote handset
disp
function (handset in CD mode) or, if fitted, the player
disp button until the CD player
prog

operations of the
