For over 45 years, NAD has been making great-sounding products at affordable prices. This is especially true for CD players. For CD players in particular, the veterans among the NAD developers know exactly what they need to do to get even more out of an audio CD. Because in a CD player, many things come together: Mechanics as well as analog and digital technology. So every parameter has an effect on the sound result and demands the utmost attention during development.
For example, to avoid interference from external vibrations and to allow the drive to be inserted accurately, a solid case and the most precise mechanical manufacturing possible are necessary. This is the only way to achieve maximum running smoothness and minimize the number of read errors. Molds made of low-resonance plastic and steel are therefore used for the best performance. The drive is mounted on rails made of hardened steel, and the entire construction of the player is held in place by over 30 joints to ensure maximum stability.
A Wolfson 24-bit D/A converter chip ensures absolutely linear conversion of the precisely clocked PCM data stream into an analog waveform. Operational amplifiers buffer the output signal without adding distortion or noise. The use of multi-level circuit boards and SMD technology allows a sophisticated circuit design with very short signal paths. Each component is powered by a dedicated power supply so that analog and digital circuits, drive and display are supplied separately with the appropriately regulated voltage. The result of the painstaking design is an absolutely natural, dynamic and detailed sound.
In addition to the sound, the upscale features make the NAD C 538 a special experience. All control options on the front, such as play, pause, skip and scan, can also be found on the handy remote control. In addition, further functions such as Random, Program or Repeat can be found on the remote control. The dimmable display shows all necessary information about the number of tracks, play time, remaining time, etc.
The C 538 can also play CD-R discs. Thus, for example, MP3 CDs compiled on the computer can be played with up to 10 hours of playback time. Perfect for every party! For connection to an external D/A converter or AV receiver, the C 538 is equipped with an optical and a coaxial digital connection. Even though the numbers for music downloads and streams continue to rise, the CD player is still the number 1 music source in quite a few households.

- Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
- Do not install near heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other devices (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
- Do not defeat the safety purpose of a polarized or grounded plug. A polarized plug has two blades, one wider than the other. A grounded plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wider blade or third prong is provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, have an electrician replace the obsolete outlet.
- Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched, particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and where it exits from the device.
- Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
- Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer or sold with the device. When using a cart, be cautious when moving it to avoid tipping over and causing injury.
- Unplug this device during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
- Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the device has been damaged in any way, such as damage to the power cord or plug, liquid spills, objects falling into the device, exposure to rain or moisture, malfunctioning, or if the device has been dropped.
CAUTION
The C 538 uses a laser system. To ensure proper use of this product, please read the entire user manual carefully and keep it for future reference. If the device requires maintenance, contact an authorized service center. Using controls, adjustments, or procedures other than those specified in this document may result in hazardous laser radiation. To prevent direct exposure to laser beams, do not open the housing. The laser beam is visible when the housing is open.
DO NOT LOOK INTO THE BEAM.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception (which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on), the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the device and receiver.
- Connect the device to an outlet on a different circuit from that to which the receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
WARNING
- The device must not be exposed to dripping or splashing liquids, and liquid-filled objects such as vases must not be placed on the device.
- To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, the device should not be exposed to rain or moisture.
- If controls, adjustments, or procedures other than those specified in this document are used, hazardous radiation may be emitted.
- The power plug serves as the disconnect device and should always remain easily accessible during normal use. To completely disconnect the device from the power supply, the power plug should be fully removed from the power outlet.
- Batteries must not be exposed to excessive heat, such as direct sunlight, fire, or similar conditions.
- No open flames, such as lit candles, should be placed on the product.
- Environmental aspects of battery disposal must be considered.
- The device should only be used in temperate climates.
- The power cord used in this device is designed for use with 125 VAC in the USA and Canada only. If the device is used in another country or with a different mains voltage or connected to a higher input voltage, the power cord must be replaced with one of suitable rating and in compliance with local regulations.
- After modifications not approved by NAD Electronics, the device may no longer be used.
