WHAT’S IN THE BOX
Packed with your C 538 you will nd
• Audio cable connector
• Detachable power cord
• CD 8 remote control with 2 (two) AAA batteries
• Quick Setup Guide
SAVE THE PACKAGING
Please save the box and all the packaging in which your C 538 arrived.
Should you move or otherwise need to transport your C 538, this is by far
the safest container in which to do so. We’ve seen too many otherwise
perfect components damaged in transit for lack of a proper shipping
carton, so please: Save that box!
CHOOSING A LOCATION
Choose a location that is well ventilated (with at least several inches to
both sides and behind), and that will provide a clear line of sight, within
25 feet/8 meters, between the C 538’s front panel and your primary
listening/viewing position. This will ensure reliable infrared remote control
communications. The C 538 generates a modest amount of heat, but
nothing that should trouble adjacent components. It is perfectly possible
to stack the C 538 on top of other components.
NOTE ON INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT!
Install the C 538 Compact Disc player on a level, vibration-free surface.
Severe vibration or operation in a tilted position may cause the player
to not track correctly. The player may be stacked with other stereo
components, if there is adequate ventilation around it. If the C 538 is placed
near 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 signals. If this occurs, move the C 538 away from other
devices or switch it o when viewing or listening to broadcasts.
QUICK START
In case you simply cannot wait to experience the performance of your
new C 538, the following “Quick Start” instructions is provided to get you
underway.
Please make all the connections to your C 538 with the unit unplugged. It is
also advisable to power-down or unplug all associated components while
making or breaking any signal or AC power connections.

1 Connect compatible connectors from DIGITAL AUDIO OUT and LINE
OUT ports of C 538 to corresponding audio input sources on your
