1 SPEAKERS: Connect the left and right terminals to the corresponding
loudspeakers. Make sure that the “+” (red) terminal and “-” (black) 
terminal are connected to the corresponding “+” and “-” terminals of the 
loudspeaker. Use extra care to ensure that no stray wires or strands cross 
between posts or terminals at either end. 
NOTES
•	 Use	stranded	wire	of	at	least	16-gauge	(AWG);	specialized	speaker	cable	
may	be	valuable	(consult	your	NAD	audio	specialist).	Connections	to	the	
C	715	can	be	made	with	banana-type	plugs,	or	using	bare	wire,	or	pins,	
by	loosening	the	terminal’s	plastic	nut,	making	a	clean,	neat	connection,	
and	re-tightening	carefully.	To	minimize	the	danger	of	short-circuits,	
ensure	that	only	1/2-inch	of	exposed	wire	or	pin	is	employed	in	
connecting.
• This unit is designed to produce optimum sound quality when
connected	to	speakers	with	impedances	within	the	receiver’s	operating	
range.	Please	check	that	speakers	are	rated	to	be	6	ohms	minimum	per	
speaker.
2 FM, AM ANTENNA INPUT: Connect the supplied lead-type FM
antenna to the FM antenna input. Extend the lead. Experiment freely 
with your antenna placement and orientation until you get the clearest 
sound and lowest background noise. Fix the antenna in the desired 
position by using thumb tacks, push pins or any suitable means.
The AM loop antenna supplied with the C 715 (or a suitable
replacement) is required for AM reception. open the clip terminal 
lever; insert the wire making sure to match the color-coded (white 
and black) ends of the wire to that of the terminal and close the 
lever ensuring that the lever locks the wire in place. Testing different 
positions for the antenna may improve reception; vertical orientation 
will usually produce the best results. Antenna proximity to large metal 
objects (appliances, radiators) may impair reception, as will attempts to 
lengthen the wire to the loop.
3 OPTICAL DIGITAL OUT: Connect the oPTICAl DIGITAl oUT port to
the corresponding S/PDIF digital input of a compatible device such as 
CD recorders, receivers, computer soundcard or other digital processors.
4 TAPE IN/OUT: Connections for analog recording and playback to an
audio tape recorder of any type. Using twin RCA-to-RCA leads, connect 
the left and right “Audio output” of the tape machine to the C 715’s 
TAPE IN sockets for playback and tape monitoring. Connect the left and 
right “Audio Input” of the tape machine to C 715’s TAPE oUT sockets for 
recording.
NOTE
	
There	will	be	no	output	at	TAPE	OUT	when	TAPE	is	selected.		Likewise,	
there	will	be	no	output	at	VIDEO	OUT	when	VCR	is	the	active	source	
input.	This	prevents	feedback	through	the	recording	component	thereby	
preventing	possible	damage	to	your	speakers.
5 VCR IN/OUT: VCR may be used with recording components such
as a cassette deck. Connect analog stereo audio from such source 
components into the C715’s VCR IN. Connect the C 715’s VCR oUT to 
the source components’ record-input. Note that VCR may freely be used 
for play-only components, in which case the oUT jacks would remain 
unconnected.
6 AUX IN: Input for additional line level input such as another CD player.
Use a twin RCA-to-RCA lead to connect the auxiliary unit’s left and right 
“Audio output” to this input.
7 SUBWOOFER OUT: Connect this output to a powered (“active”)
subwoofer (or to a power amplifier channel driving a passive system).
8 AC LINE CORD: Plug the AC power cord into a live AC wall socket.
Make sure all connections have been made before connecting to mains.

ATTENTION!
	
Please	make	sure	that	the	C	715	is	powered	off	or	unplugged	before	making	any	connections.	It	is	also	advisable	to	power	down	or	unplug	all	associated	
components	while	making	or	breaking	any	signal	or	AC	power	connections.
