CD555

4 CD555 Introduction and Installation

The CD555 CD Player can only be operated from a Naim CD 555PS Power Supply. Connection 
of the power supply is illustrated in Section 5.2. CD player control and operation is described 
in Sections 16, 17 and 18.

The CD555 should be installed on a dedicated equipment stand intended for the purpose. 
To improve sound quality the player has hard metallic feet which may blemish any delicate 
surface on which it is placed. 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.

Seven transit screws on the underside of the CD555 case should be removed before use and 
must be replaced if the unit is to be moved or re-packed and shipped. Transit screw locations 
are shown, and notes on their removal are provided, below. The transit screws must not be 
used in any other Naim product. Do not invert the player while removing the transit screws or 
once the transit screws are removed.

The player and power supply should be installed in their final locations before connecting 
cables or switching on. Ensure that power amplifiers are switched off and the preamplifier 
volume is turned down before the power supply is switched on. The power button is located 
on the front panel.

The player and power supply are heavy and care should be taken when lifting or moving 
them. Make sure that the surface on which they are to be placed can support their weight.

4.1 Transit Screws

Seven transit screws must be removed from the underside of 
the CD555 before use and be replaced if the player is to be 
carried any distance, packed or shipped. The transit screw 
locations are illustrated in the diagram below. CD555 transit 
screws must not be used with any other Naim product.

The player must not be inverted either during or after transit 
screw removal.

 

To gain access to the transit 
screws, position one side of 
the player over the edge of 
a table, remove (or replace) 
the screws that become 
accessible and then repeat 
as necessary with other 
sides of the player to access 
the remaining screws. If 
the transit screws are to be 
replaced the three different 
types must be used in their 
correct locations.
