OF EUROPEAN UNION FOR EUROPEAN CUSTOMERS ONLY
Batteries bearing any of these symbols indicate that they should be treated
as “separate collection” and not as municipal waste. It is encouraged that
necessary measures are implemented to maximize the separate collection of
waste batteries and to minimize the disposal of batteries as mixed municipal
waste.
End-users are exhorted not to dispose waste batteries as unsorted municipal waste. In
order to achieve a high level of recycling waste batteries, discard waste batteries separately
and properly through an accessible collection point in your vicinity. For more information
about collection and recycling of waste batteries, please contact your local municipality,
your waste disposal service or the point of sale where you purchased the items.
By ensuring compliance and conformance to proper disposal of waste batteries, potential
hazardous eects on human health is prevented and the negative impact of batteries and
waste batteries on the environment is minimized, thus contributing to the protection,
preservation and quality improvement of the environment.

At the end of its useful life, this product must not be
disposed of with regular household waste but must be
returned to a collection point for the recycling of electrical
and electronic equipment. The symbol on the product, user’s
manual and packaging, point this out.

INTRODUCTION
GETTING STARTED
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

OUT ports of C 538 to corresponding audio input sources on your
