thank You for chooSing nad.  
The C 545BEE CD Player is a technologically advanced and highly capable  
product — yet we have invested great effort 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’sMusic First”  
design philosophy guided the C 545BEE’s design in such a way that it can  
confidently 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:  
For warranty information contact your local distributor.

QUICK START  
In case you simply cannot wait to experience the performance of your new  
NAD C 545BEE, we provide the followingQuick Startinstructions to get  
you underway.  
An audio cable connector  
The CD 8 remote control with two AA batteries  
A detachable AC power cord  
This owner’s manual  
Please make all the connections to your C 545BEE with the unit unplugged.  
It is also advisable to power down or unplug all associated components  
while making or breaking any signal or AC power connections.  
Save the packaging  
Please save the box and all of the packaging in which your C 545BEE  
arrived. Should you move or otherwise need to transport your C 545BEE,  
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!

Connect a twin RCA-to-RCA lead from the L (left) and R (right) Line  
Output jacks to the corresponding CD inputs on your amplifier.  
Connect the AC cord to the C 545BEE’s AC Mains input and then plug  
into an AC outlet. The Standby LED indicator embedded around the

both sides and behind), and that will provide a clear line of sight, within  
23 feet/7 meters, between the C 545BEE’s front panel and your primary  
listening/viewing position. This will ensure reliable infrared remote control  
communications. The C 545BEE generates a modest amount of heat, but  
nothing that should trouble adjacent components. It is perfectly possible to  
stack the C 545BEE on top of other components.

NOTE ON INSTALLATION  
IMPORTANT! Install the C 545BEE Compact Disc player on a level,  
vibration-free surface. Severe vibration or operation in a tilted position  
may cause the player to mis-track. The player may be stacked with other  
stereo components, as long as there is adequate ventilation around it. If  
the C 545BEE is placed in close proximity to 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 545BEE away from other devices or switch it off  
when viewing or listening to broadcasts.

CD-R AND CD-RW AUDIO DISCS  
Pressing [STOP] key at any time during the programming procedure will  
put to a STOP to the sequence and clear all the currently programmed  
tracks or files. VFD will revert back to displaying the total number of  
tracks and total playback time for audio CD and total number of files for  
MP3/WMA.  
The C 545BEE can play back CD-R or CD-RW audio discs that have been  
recorded on a computer or CD recorder. The quality of CD-R or CD-RW  
audio discs varies widely which may affect playability. Some factors that  
affect playability:  
The quality of the disc itself. Generally speaking, CD-R or CD-RW blanks from  
well-renowned companies give better results than unbranded ones.  
The quality of CD-recorder or computer CD re/writer. Some recorders  
and writers produce better results than others.  
The CD-R and CD-RW were created with high-speed writing. In general,  
the quality of a CD-R or CD-RW is better when produced at a lower  
speed against a higher speed on the same recorder or re/writer.

handling diScS  
cleaning diScS  
Do not touch the playback side of the disc. Hold the disc by the edges so that  
fingerprints do not get on the surface. Never stick paper or tape on the disc.  
Fingerprints and dust on the disc can cause poor picture quality and sound  
distortion. Before playing, clean the disc with a clean cloth. Wipe the disc  
from the center out.  
Storing diScS  
After playing, store the disc in its case. Do not expose the disc to direct  
sunlight or sources of heat and never leave it in a parked car exposed to  
direct sunlight.  
Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol, benzine, thinner, commercially  
available cleaners, or anti-static spray intended for older vinyl records
