THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING NAD.
The C 545BEE CD Player is a technologically advanced and highly capable
product — yet we have invested great eort in making it simple and easy
to use. We have been careful to ensure that the C 545BEE is as musically
transparent and spatially accurate as possible, incorporating much of what
we’ve learned from a quarter-century’s experience designing audio and
home-theater components. As with all our products, NAD’s “Music First”
design philosophy guided the C 545BEE’s design in such a way that it can
condently promise you state-of-the-art audiophile-quality music listening
for years to come.
We encourage you to take a few minutes now to read right through this
manual. Investing a little time here at the outset might save you a good
deal of time later, and is by far the best way to ensure that you make the
most of your investment in the C 545BEE.
One more thing: We urge you to register your C 545BEE ownership on the
NAD Worldwide Web site:
