To purchase C521BEE spares or accessories, please contact the company via their website or visit an authorised retailer. Individual tracks can be quickly accessed using the SKIP function (Forward and Back), and the SCAN function (Forward and Back) gives an aural precis of individual tracks, giving the listener the opportunity to reach specific sections of the track. The track number is displayed, and for those who regularly transfer CDs to cassette, MiniDisc or CD-R, the button displays the current time elapsed or remaining for complete CDs. A “calendar” type section in the display gives immediate visual information of how many tracks in total there are on the CD. In the case of the NAD C 521BEE, careful attention has been paid so that best use can be made of the ever increasing number of products now available with digital inputs (CD, MD recorders, computer sound cards, outboard D to A converters, etc.). Unusually at this price point, the coaxial output is buffered and isolated by a transformer from the converter itself and the output impedance has been carefully tailored to produce a precise 75 ohms impedance to ensure perfect matching. This attention to detail reduces the timing errors (jitter) that could otherwise distort the digital data stream. On top of that, the remote control handset gives you direct track access and programming facilities, as well, saving the user’s time when they’re storing preferred song titles. Up to 20 tracks can be programmed. It is possible to delete tracks without using the program function by simply using the delete key. Separate power regulators for the digital and analogue sections isolate the two electrically, reducing interference effects.http://adler-hudozhka.ru/pic/cs-29z40mh-service-manual.xml

Furthermore, careful layout of the PCB tracks around the Digital-to-Analogue converter helps to contain RF radiation and interference. The 20 bit high resolution Burr-Brown S-D Digital-to-Analogue converter chip was chosen for its excellent low-level linearity and. While some people will gladly spend to get that last gram of musical pleasure, for the vast majority of music lovers the C 521BEE offers that sweet spot where spending less gets a lot less, and spending more gets only a small incremental improvement. We think that even the most critical music listeners will appreciate the fluid dynamics, spacious sound, and refined harmonic textures the C 521BEE is able to extract from their favorite performances on Compact Disc. Whether your musical taste leans toward the expansive majesty of a full symphony orchestra, the driving beat and raw energy of rock, or the warm intimacy of the a capella voice, the C 521BEE never gets in the way of the musical expression.

NAD 3140 amplifier - power transistors getting hot This one had been sitting in a barn for years. Powered it up and the large power transistors on the heat sink would get hot after a time.and the heat sink would also get quite hot. Went in and recapped almost the entire product save for the (4) large 50V PS caps which appear to check ok.None of the high power or driver transistors mounted to the main heat sink were shorted. Powered on but no audio, and noticed the fuses to Bridge D805 were melted open. I believe they were ok before. Replaced them and they started to light up like fiilaments, so shut down, removed the bridge D805, then checked it, its ok. It seems like something I did maybe is causing this, like a capacitor in backwards, which I am doing alot of lately for some reason. Capacitor still checks ok, so will re-use it. Short is still there though Im guessing R803 is adding in 5.6 ohms or so, that means theres a 10 ohm short someplace. Any ideas out there on what to check next. I am guessing this cap in backwards caused the voltage applied to a component to be reverse and its shorted. Or would this be normal with a reversed cap installed, and putting it in right would be how to fix it.You can write in English language into the forum (not only in Hungarian).

The display is showing 'OPEN' but nothing is happening. I checked the motor drive circuit, it is not getting the logic signals to activate the motor. Unless I manually unload the tray, I cannot see the drive belt or the micro switch, as the front panel will not come out. Can anyone help me as how to open the tray manually. I could not even check the tray motor as the connectors are stuck rock solid. CD already in the drive does play normally though.Turn the Gear mentioned and the Tray will move. I'm certain it's going to be the belt. It always is on this Mech ! P.I had opened the top cover and the clamp earlier, but missed the tray gear peeping from inside. I manually rotated this gear and the tray came out. On powering up, the tray retracted and ejected with the 'CLOSE' and 'OPEN' commands. The problem is fixed, the belt and motor is OK, perhaps the tray mechanism had jammed. Now the CD player is working fine. Many thanks for the 'manual' link. It is always handy to have the service manual. Konzentr8, I tried your suggestion, but it did not work. Appreciate your willingness to help. Thank you ALL. Regds.

This list celebrates the best disc spinners we've had the pleasure of reviewing. MORE: The best 19 stereo amplifiers of What Hi-Fi? 's lifetime The best 30 hi-fi speakers of What Hi-Fi? 's lifetime How to get the best sound from your CD player Philips CD100 (1983) Most early CD players adopted Sony's 16-bit standard, but Philips stuck with its 14-bit system. The Dutch company bridged the gap with an approach called 'oversampling'. Three extra samples of the original signal were created. These were then fed into the DAC at four times the original rate, cleverly matching the resolution of 16-bit in the process. It wasn't the only player to do this. Marantz's CD-63 was a badge-engineered CD100, and both ably captured a track's size and character. For a first generation effort, it wasn't the most striking in terms of appearance. But the sound was naturally smooth, and the error correction first-rate. MORE: 15 of the best piano tracks to test your system Sony CDP-101 (1983) The CDP-101 showed Sony getting to grips with the CD format right from the off. It had things we'd take for granted now. The remote came as standard, and you could fast-speed search both forwards and backwards. Plus it had an LCD display and a headphone output. The launch batch of the CDP-101 delivered a hard and bright performer. It was further tweaked, the sound becoming smoother and more detailed. Factor in Sony's design nous and its robust build, and the CDP-101 was a promising glimpse of the future. Meridian took the shell of Phillip's player and painted it graphite grey. However, the MCD's innards were a different matter. The output stages were rebuilt, and the servo and error-correction systems were tinkered with. This resulted in a player with a sweet and musical sound, tidy with low frequencies and good with scale. Like many early efforts, it had basic features (no remote, for instance), but the sound was its main appeal. Double, if not triple, most other players. Made up of two separate boxes, the upper half was where the disc tray and power supply were located. The bottom half housed the DAC. Similar to the CD100, it featured three 14-bit DACs (with oversampling) per channel. Two worked together for speed and accuracy, while the third smoothed out any errors. It helped produce a soundstage with great depth and space, able to dig out hidden and low-level information with ease. The price was steep, but it was head and shoulders above other players at the time. MORE: Cambridge celebrates 50th anniversary with flagship Edge hi-fi range Philips CD850 (1990) The CD850 quickly replaced the CD840 and, though it was similar, it was much more than just a cynical repackaging. It was a solidly built machine, full of (for its time) advanced technology such as Philip's own PDM (Pulse Density Modulation) bit-stream DAC. It was not the most convenient of players, but it offered an effortless CD sound. The soundstage was wider, deeper and more forward than its peers. It was bold in how it attacked a piece of music, and was capable of handling busy tracks without tripping over itself. It was excellent on its own and even better when partnered with the 203 DAC. The clarity of the 200 was a good match for the warmer sensibilities of the 203 - together they made an impressively musical sound. MORE: Meridian 808V6 Signature Reference CD player Rotel RCD-965BX (1991) The success of Rotel's budget player was down to a number of factors. It was an effortless, natural and convincing performer, and it could slot into the most modest of systems without fuss. It was also unencumbered by too many features - just the bare essentials and not much more. More was found under the hood, with a new bitstream DAC as well as an excellent circuit design. The attention to detail Rotel afforded the RCD-965BX resulted in a unit that wasn't flashy but extracted as much as it could from a piece of music. No player in the budget arena at the time could match its qualities. See all our Rotel CD player reviews Marantz CD-52 MkII SE (1993) There were more versions of the CD-52 than you could shake a stick at. A case could be made for the MkII SE being the best of the lot. The MkII was essentially an audiophile player for the budget market. Inside was a transformer that could carry a higher current, along with several high-spec components in the analogue and output stages. It retained the MkII's core of detail, weight and agile bass. Notable improvements could be felt in the upper midrange and treble - voices and solo instruments hit with much more of an impact. It conjured up a vivid and detailed sound at a sensible price, a trait the company still excels at today. Aesthetically it stood out with its brown and black look. The build was good, with a generous amount of features accessible on the fascia or by remote. It had elegantly designed, not to mention cost-effective, internals. From the single-bit MASH DAC to its Super One Chip LS1, it produced a rich and powerful performance without breaking the bank. The '480 carried over Technics' distinctively smooth, warm and well-detailed sound. Other players were more revealing, but the 480's relaxed performance ensured repeat listens. Arcam Alpha 7 (1996) Based on Arcam's landmark Alpha One, the Alpha 7 left the competition in its wake with a Best Buy win in 1996. The Alpha 7 featured a modular design, so an upgrade path was possible. A new DAC board and a badge change meant the Alpha 7 could be transformed into an Alpha 8. It had a smooth, mature and relaxing sound, which made for treble that was softer than other players. But the sound had good weight to it, which helped some tracks sound big and substantial. The Alpha 7 took the game to similarly priced Japanese efforts and held its own. Not many British-made players achieved such a feat. Hall of Fame: 1990s Meridian 508.24 (1998) Meridian's 508.24 was an evolution of its 20-bit 508 CD player. On the outside, the extra cash bought you a badge change. Otherwise, it had the same connections, motorised transport and almost tablet-sized remote. The real evolution was the 24-bit upgrade. It continued Meridian's tradition of belting out rich and melodious sound. Though previous Meridian players faltered in terms of muscularity, the 508.24 liked to rock. It produced a good sense of energy with fast, controlled bass. Feed it good recordings and the 508.24 was an ideal CD player for those who liked a lush and punchy sound. MORE: 25 of the best tracks for testing bass Marantz CD-7 (1999) Said to be a decade in the making, the Marantz CD-7 was intended to be the ultimate 'statement' player. It wasn't so much a vision of the future, rather an encapsulation of everything the CD format was. It eschewed single-bit conversion for tried and tested multi-bit, and was full of high-grade components, including Philip's premium DAC. Even the player's feet had extensive plating. The CD-7 was capable of real speed and impact. Its weighty sound was substantial, able to drag every bit of nuance from a track. Switching to a lesser player after the CD-7 was a bit of a comedown. Made for those who wanted the best sound no matter the price, it was a two-box combo that defied the established wisdom of keeping delicate circuitry separate. Here, the transport and DAC were in one box with the power supply in the other. When in full flow, the Naim was on another level. Accessing inputs or adjusting the volume could only be done with the remote, and the display was so dimly lit you could barely see what was on it.
