CDX2
9 Installation and Operation
The CDX2 CD Player can be operated either from its internal power supply or, for
improved performance, from an external Naim XPS Power Supply. Connection of the
power supply is illustrated in Diagram 10.2
The CDX2 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.
A transit screw on the underside of the CDX2 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. The transit screw location is illustrated in Diagram
13.1. Do not invert the player once the transit screw is removed.
9.1 disc loading
Disc loading is illustrated in Section 13.2. 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. The illustration in Section 14 will help identify the
correct puck for the CDX2.

If an HDCD encoded compact disc is loaded the CDX2 will
automatically recognise and decode it. The display will read

9.3 front panel control mode selection
The CDX2 has an optional front panel control mode. This
multi-function mode provides an alternative front panel
interface in which fast forward, fast reverse and pause are
selected by pressing and holding next,
respectively.
To select multi function mode press and hold

9.4 player display and indicators
The alphanumeric display indicates track and index numbers,
time in minutes and seconds, or various system messages
(Error, Track programming info, etc). The full stop on the right
of the display window illuminates when the player receives a
signal from the remote handset. If a track play list is
programmed the time displayed reflects the duration of the
program. On the far left of the display are five indicators.
HDCD: Illuminates to show that an HDCD encoded disc
is playing.
pause: Flashes to show that pause has been selected
from the remote handset.
Note: If the CDX2 is paused for more than 10 minutes it will
enter a "static pause" mode in which the transport laser
deactivates and the disc stops spinning - so reducing wear
on the transport. The player can be left in static pause
indefinitely. The pause indicator will illuminate fully rather
than flash when the player is in static pause mode.
time: Illuminates to indicate display of total disc time or
elapsed time of the track being played.
repeat: Illuminates to show that repeat has been selected
from the remote handset.
prog: Illuminates to indicate that a program has been
stored. Further information on play list
programming can be found in Sections 15 and 16.
