n2 narcom 2 remote handset NARCOM 2 is a multi-functional remote control handset designed to be used with Naim Audio CD players, integrated amplifiers, pre-amplifiers and preset tuners. The handset control configuration is based around three types of keys: System Component Keys, Global Keys and Soft Keys. 1 System Component Keys These keys switch the operation of the “Soft Keys” into modes appropriate to each system component (preamp, CD or tuner).
3 Soft Keys These keys operate functions depending on the System Component Key setting. numeric keypad: In preamp mode the numeric keys will switch between the amplifier inputs (1 - cd, 2 - tuner, 3 - tape, 4 - av, 5 - aux 1, 6 - aux 2). In cd mode the numeric keys will select tracks. In tuner mode the numeric keys will select tuner presets or can be used directly to input station frequencies. prog: In preamp mode the prog key function varies depending upon the specific amplifier model in use.
CD Player Maintenance It is very important for reliable operation of Naim CD players to ensure that the surfaces of the transport platter and the inside of the disc clamp are free of dust, fibres or other debris which can prevent the disc from sitting properly, causing it to slip. Although slight, this slippage may make it difficult or even impossible for the machine to find tracks. Do not, under any circumstances, use any solvents or fluids for the cleaning process.
