If an indoor antenna is used (either built into the set or installed separately),
never allow any part of the antenna to touch the metal parts of other electrical
appliances such as a lamp, TV set etc.
CAUTION
POWER LINES
Any outdoor antenna must be located away from all power lines.
OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING
If an outside antenna is connected to your tuner or tuner-preamplifier, be sure
the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against volt-
age surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984, provides information with respect to proper
grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to
an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna dis-
charge unit, connection to grounding electrodes and requirements for the
grounding electrode.
a. Use No. 10 AWG (5.3mm2) copper, No. 8 AWG (8.4mm2) aluminium, No. 17
AWG (1.0mm2) copper-clad steel or bronze wire, or larger, as a ground wire.
b. Secure antenna lead-in and ground wires to house with stand-off insulators
spaced from 4-6 feet (1.22 - 1.83 m) apart.
c. Mount antenna discharge unit as close as possible to where lead-in enters
house.
d. Use jumper wire not smaller than No.6 AWG (13.3mm2) copper, or the equiva-
lent, when a separate antenna-grounding electrode is used. see NEC Section
810-21 (j).
EXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDING AS PER NATIONAL ELECTRICAL
CODE INSTRUCTIONS CONTAINED IN ARTICLE 810 - RADIO AND TELEVI-
SION EQUIPMENT.
NOTE TO CATV SYSTEM INSTALLER: This reminder is provided to
call the CATV system installer's attention to Article 820-22 of the
National Electrical Code that provides guidelines for proper grounding
and, in particular, specifies that the ground cable ground shall be con-
nected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of
cable entry as practical.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION
AND OPERATION
NOTE ON INSTALLATION
Install the Compact Disc player on a level, vibra-
tion-free surface. (Severe vibration, or operation in a
tilted position, may cause the player to mis-track.)
The player may be stacked with other stereo compo-
nents, as long as there is adequate ventilation around
it.
If the player is placed in close proximity to a radio
tuner (AM or FM), a VCR, or a television set, the
operation of its digital circuits may produce static that
would interfere with reception of weak broadcast sig-
nals. If this occurs, move the CD player away from
other devices or switch it off when viewing or listening
to broadcasts.
PLAYING COMPACT DISCS
A SIMPLE APPROACH
1. Connect a stereo cable from the L (left) and R
(right) Line Output jacks to the corresponding CD
inputs on your amplifier.
2. Plug in the AC power cord.
3. Press the green POWER button to turn on the
player.
4. Press OPEN to open the disc drawer.
5. Place a CD, label side up, in the tray's circular
recess. Be certain that the disc is centered within the
recess.
6. Press PLAY/PAUSE. The drawer closes auto-
matically, and the disc begins to play.
7. At any time you may press SKIP
or
to
select different tracks on the disc.
8. Press PLAY/PAUSE if you want to stop play
temporarily while keeping the pickup at its current
position on the disc. Press PLAY/PAUSE again when
you want to resume playback. Press STOP if you
want to end play and re-set the pickup to the begin-
ning of the disc.
REAR PANEL CONNECTIONS (fig.1)
1. LINE OUTPUT
Connect a cable from these jacks to your amplifier.
Plug one end of a stereo audio cable into the L
(upper) and R (lower) output jacks. Connect the other
end of the cable to your stereo amplifier's CD input,
or to any other `line-level' input jacks (such as the
AUXiliary inputs). Do NOT connect this cable to the
amplifier's PHONO input jacks.
2. DIGITAL OUTPUT
The digital playback signal is available at this out-
put jack. The serial data output is taken after the error
correction but before the digital-to-analogue conver-
sion and filtering. The output is transformer-isolated
from the built-in D-to-A circuits. It may be connected
to any digital signal processor that conforms to the
Sony/Philips (SPDIF) standard.
To use the digital output, connect a cable from this
jack to the "CD Digital" or equivalent input on a digital
processor. For best results, the cable should be a 75
ohm coaxial cable of the type used for video signals,
with an RCA phono plug at each end. (To distinguish
them from similar phono-plug cables used for ana-
logue audio signals, video and digital signal cables
often are colour-coded with yellow plugs.)
3. AC LINE CORD
Connect this power cord to an AC mains wall outlet
or to an AC convenience outlet at the rear of your
amplifier.
FRONT PANEL CONTROLS (fig.2)
1. POWER ON/OFF
Press this green button to switch on the power to
the disc player. Press again and release to switch the
power off.
2. DISC DRAWER
To play a disc, press the OPEN button to open the
disc drawer. Place the CD within the large circular
recess in the drawer, with its transparent playing sur-
face facing down. The label must face UP.
CD-3 discs (3-inch CD `singles') can be played
without the aid of an adapter. Place the disc in the
drawer, centered in the smaller circular recess, with
its label facing UP.
NOTE: This player was not designed to accommo-
date a `damping disc' placed on a CD, nor two CDs
stacked together. It plays audio CDs, but not discs
identified as CD-V, DVD, CD-I, CD-ROM, or PHOTO
CD.
3. DISPLAY
The display provides information about playback
status and about the laser pickup's location on the
disc. The displayed track/time information is obtained
by reading inaudible `sub-codes' in the disc.
TRACK NUMBER. Each disc is segmented into
numbered tracks when the recording is made; typical-
ly each numbered track will correspond to a different
song, symphonic movement, etc. These track num-
bers are identified on the CD package and are encod-
ed in the disc by its manufacturer.
In some CDs, at the manufacturer's option, tracks
may be sub-divided into sections identified by Index
numbers. This player does not display Index num-
bers.
TIME. Normally this display shows the time elapsed
since the beginning of the current track. Using the
TIME button you can switch the display to show the
playing time remaining to the end of the disc.
When you load a different disc and use the OPEN
button to close the disc drawer, the display shows the
number of tracks and the total playing time of all the
tracks on the disc.
STATUS. A right-pointing arrowhead
, located
near the left edge of the time display, glows during

PLAY. Two vertical bars
indicate that the player
is in PAUSE. In STOP mode the display reverts to
showing the number of tracks and total playing time
of the disc.
`no diSC' glows in the display when no disc is pre-
sent or when you load a disc that cannot be read
(because it is dirty or is upside-down).
REPEAT ONE glows in the upper-left corner during
repeat-play of a single track. REPEAT ALL glows dur-
ing repeat-play of the entire program or disc
REMAIN glows in the top centre area of the display
if you have pressed the TIME button to show the
remaining time in the disc.
RANDOM. When the C520 is in Random mode
"RANDOM" will be shown in the Display Panel.
CALENDAR DISPLAY TRACK LISTING. Displays
a list of tracks available on the disc. As each track is
played its number is blanked out on the Track Listing,
giving a simple indication of how much of the disc has
been played and how much remains. The display
shows up to 16 numbered tracks.
REMOTE RECEIVER. An infrared sensor, located
at the right-hand portion of the display window,
receives commands from the remote control. There
must be a clear line-of-sight path from the remote
control to this window; if that path is obstructed, the
remote control may not work.
4. OPEN
Press this button to open the disc drawer, and
press it again to close the drawer. If this button is
pressed while a disc is being played, the playback will
stop, the pickup will re-set to the beginning of the
disc, and the drawer will open.
When the disc drawer is open, the drawer-closing
mechanism can also be activated by pressing PLAY
or by gently pushing the drawer inward.
CAUTION: The disc drawer is opened and closed
by an internal motor. Do not close the drawer by hand
with the power off.
When the drawer closes, the player scans the
disc's `table of contents' and displays the number of
tracks and total playing time on the disc. If you press
PLAY to close the drawer this display is skipped, and
play commences immediately at Track 1.
5. PLAY/PAUSE
This dual-function button alternates between start-
ing and stopping playback. Press to start play or to
resume play after Pause. During play, press this but-
ton to stop playback temporarily, keeping the laser at
its current position on the disc.
The PLAY mode is identified by a right-pointing
arrowhead
in the display. The PAUSE mode is
identified by two vertical bars
.
To resume playback at the exact point where it
stopped, press PLAY/PAUSE again. If you don't want
to resume play at the same point, you may use the
SKIP and SCAN controls to cue the pickup to a differ-
ent starting point before pressing PLAY again.
6. TIME
The TIME button has two modes, as follows:
TIME: the elapsed time since the beginning of the
current track, in minutes and seconds. (This is the
`default' setting, selected automatically when the
player is turned on.)
REMAIN: the total playing time that remains until
the end of the disc and the total number of remaining
tracks (including the current track).
7. STOP
This button stops play, cancels any repeat-play
cycle, and re-sets the pickup to the beginning of the
disc. The display reverts to showing the number of
tracks and total playing time on the disc.
8. REPEAT
This button engages an endless-repeat cycle.
Press the Repeat button once to select the REPEAT
ONE mode, in which only the current track is repeat-
ed over and over again. Pressing the Repeat button
once again selects the REPEAT ALL mode, in which
the entire disc is played from beginning to end, over
and over again. Press the Repeat button a third time
to cancel the repeat cycle and return to normal opera-
tion.
9. RANDOM
Pressing RANDOM will play all the tracks on the
CD in a random order. Press RANDOM either from
the Stop or the Play mode and the C520 will play the
tracks on the CD in random order until all the tracks
have been played.
Press RANDOM button again to cancel Random
play and return the C520 to the normal Play mode.
When the C520 is in Random mode `RANDOM' will
be shown in the Display Panel.
10. SCAN
SCAN BACK
The SCAN
button causes the optical pickup to
scan backward through the recording at high speed.
This button works only while the player is in PLAY or
PAUSE. After a STOP command, or after loading a
new disc, you must press PLAY before the scan cir-
cuit will work.
If the scan is initiated while the player is in PAUSE
the scan is silent, approximately 15-20 times faster
than playing speed. If the scan is initiated during
PLAY it is much slower (approximately three times
playing speed), and the music will be heard in frag-
mentary form at reduced volume as the player scans
through it. Use this `audible scan' to cue the player
precisely to the spot where you want to resume play.
If you scan back to the beginning of the disc while
playing Track 1, the player automatically reverts to
normal playback.
SCAN FORWARD
The SCAN
button causes the optical pickup to
scan rapidly forward through the music. The behavior
