Cambridge Audio CD5 User Manual
CD5
Compact disc player
User’s manual
Thank you for purchasing this Cambridge Audio CD player. This model
is part of our commitment to the on-ggoing development of the
Cambridge Audio range. We hope that you will appreciate the results
and enjoy many years of listening pleasure from them.
As with previous Cambridge Audio CD players, the CD5 makes use of a
custom Cambridge Audio servo solution and transport, at the heart of
which is a VLSI (Very Large Scale Integration) circuit which dynamically
adjusts in real time the focusing, tracking and output level of the laser
for the maximum retrieval of digital information. To ensure the very best
performance there are also multiple separate power supplies for the
D/A converter circuitry, audio filters, clocks and other stages, as well as
extensive use of low impedance film capacitors.
The CD5 CD player also now features MP3 playback and allows navigation of MP3 folders on the disc directly from the remote control and front
panel.
Your CD player can only be as good as the system it is connected to.
Please do not compromise on your amplifier, speakers or cabling.
Naturally we particularly recommend amplification from the Cambridge
Audio range, which have been designed to the same exacting standards
as our CD players. Your dealer can also supply excellent quality
Cambridge Audio interconnects to ensure your system realises its full
potential.
Thanks for taking the time to read this manual; we do recommend you
keep it for future reference.

INTRODUCTION
The crossed-out wheeled bin is the European Union symbol for indicating separate collection for electrical and electronic equipment.
This product contains electrical and electronic equipment which
should be reused, recycled or recovered and should not be disposed of with unsorted regular waste. Please return the unit or contact the authorised dealer from whom you purchased this product
for more information.
Plug Fitting Instructions (UK Only)
The cord supplied with this appliance is factory fitted with a 13amp mains plug fitted with a 3 amp fuse inside. If it is necessary to change the fuse, it is important
that a 3 amp one is used. If the plug needs to be changed because it is not suitable
for your socket, or becomes damaged, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug
fitted following the wiring instructions below. The plug must then be disposed of
safely, as insertion into a 13 amp socket is likely to cause an electrical hazard.
Should it be necessary to fit a 3-pin BS mains plug to the power cord the wires
should be fitted as shown in this diagram. The colours of the wires in the mains
lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying
the terminals in your plug. Connect them as follows:
The wire which is coloured BLUE must be
connected to the terminal which is marked
with the letter ‘N’ or coloured BLACK.
The wire which is coloured BROWN must be
connected to the terminal which is marked
with the letter ‘L’ or coloured RED.
The wire which is coloured GREEN/YELLOW
must be connected to the terminal which is
marked with the letter ‘E’ or coloured GREEN.
If your model does not have an earth wire,
then disregard this instruction.
If a 13amp (BS 1363) plug is used, a 3amp fuse must be fitted, or if any other type
of plug is used a 3amp or 5 amp fuse must be fitted, either in the plug or adaptor,
or on the distribution board.
Checking the Power Supply Rating
For your own safety please read the following instructions carefully before attempting
to connect this unit to the mains.
Check that the rear of your unit indicates the correct supply voltage. If your mains
supply voltage is different, consult your dealer.
This unit is designed to operate only on the supply voltage and type that is indicated on the rear panel of the unit. Connecting to other power sources may damage
the unit.
This equipment must be switched off when not in use and must not be used unless
correctly earthed. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove the unit's
cover (or back). There are no user serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel. If the power cord is fitted with a moulded mains plug the
unit must not be used if the plastic fuse carrier is not in place. Should you lose the
fuse carrier the correct part must be reordered from your Cambridge Audio dealer.
The lightning flash with the arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is
intended to alert the user to the presence of un-insulated ‘dangerous
voltage’ within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended
to alert the user to the presence of important operating and mainte-
nance instructions in the service literature relevant to this appliance.
This product complies with European Low Voltage (73/23/ EEC)
and Electromagnetic Compatibility (89/336 /EEC) Directives
when used and installed according to this
instruction manual. For continued compliance only Cambridge
Audio accessories should be used with this product and servicing
must be referred to qualified service personnel.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Please take a moment to read these notes before installing your CD player,
they will enable you to get the best performance and prolong the life of the
product. We advise you follow all instructions, heed all warnings and keep the
instructions for future reference.
The unit is of Class 1 construction and must be connected to a Mains socket outlet with a protective earthing connection.
Only use the specified attachments/accessories with this unit.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A
polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type
plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third
prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your
outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
The unit must be installed in a manner that makes disconnection of the
mains plug from the mains socket outlet (or appliance connector from the
rear of the unit) possible. Where the mains plug is used as the disconnect
device, the disconnect device shall remain readily operable. Protect the
power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the unit.
This unit must be installed on a sturdy, level surface. Do not place
in a sealed area such as a bookcase or in a cabinet. Any space open
at the back (such as a dedicated equipment rack) is fine however.
When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart to avoid
injury from tip-over.
The unit requires ventilation. Do not situate it on a rug or other soft surface
and do not obstruct any air inlets or outlet grilles.
Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves,
or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
WARNING - To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this unit
to rain or moisture. This unit must not be used near or exposed to dripping or
splashing water or other liquids. No objects filled with liquid, such as vases,
shall be placed on the unit. In the event, switch off immediately, disconnect
from the mains supply and contact your dealer for advice.
Ensure that small objects do not fall through any ventilation grille. If this happens, switch off immediately, disconnect from the mains supply and contact
your dealer for advice.
To turn the unit off completely switch off on the rear panel. If you do not
intend to use this unit for a long period of time, unplug it from the mains socket. Unplug this unit during lightning storms.
To clean the unit, wipe its case with a dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use any
cleaning fluids containing alcohol, ammonia or abrasives. Do not spray an
aerosol at or near your CD player.
This unit is not user serviceable, never attempt to repair, disassemble or
reconstruct the unit if there seems to be a problem. Servicing is required
when the unit has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or
plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into it, the unit
has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally or has been
dropped. A serious electric shock could result if this precautionary measure
is ignored.
