NOTES ON INSTALLATION.
Your NAD 510 should be placed on a firm, level
surface. Avoid placing the unit in direct sunlight, near
sources of heat and damp or in poorly ventilated posi-
tions.
The CD player comes with phono leads for connec-
tion to your amplifier or receiver. Switch the unit off
before making any connections. Ensure that leads
and connectors are not damaged in any way and all
connectors are firmly pushed home.
If the unit is not going to be used for some time,
disconnect the plug from the AC socket. Should water
get into your NAD 510, shut off the power to the unit
and remove the plug from the AC socket. Have the
unit inspected by a qualified service technician before
attempting to use it again.
Do not remove the cover, there are no user-ser-
viceable parts inside.
Use a dry soft cloth to clean the unit and the CD
Tray. If necessary, lightly dampened the cloth with
soapy water. Do not use solutions containing benzol
or other volatile agents.
As with most digital circuits, the processor inside
your CD player may radiate a small amount of electri-
cal 'noise' which could interfere with reception of very
weak radio or TV signals. If this occurs, move the CD
player away from the other devices or switch it off
when viewing or listening to broadcasts.
WARNING TO UK USERS. If this appartus is not
fitted with a UK three-pin plug, do not attempt to

Instead, cut the plug from the mains lead and attach
a fused UK three-pin plug using the following safety
advice on wiring.
IMPORTANT. The wires in this mains lead are
coloured BLUE and BROWN;
