NOTES ON INSTALLATION
Your NAD C 352 should be placed on a firm, level surface. Avoid placing
the unit in direct sunlight or near sources of heat and dampness. Allow
adequate ventilation. Do not place the unit on a soft surface like a
carpet. Do not place unit in an enclosed position, such a bookcase or
cabinet, that may impede the air-flow through the ventilation slots.
Make sure the unit is switched off before making any connections.
The RCA sockets on your NAD C 352 are colour coded for convenience.
Red and white are Right and Left audio respectively, and yellow for NAD
Link. Use high quality leads and sockets for optimum performance and
reliability. Ensure that leads and sockets are not damaged in any way
and all sockets are firmly pushed in.
For best performance, use quality speaker leads of 16 gauge (1.5mm)
thickness or more. If the unit is not going to be used for some time,
disconnect the plug from the AC socket.
Should water get into your NAD C 352, shut off the power to the unit
and remove the plug from the AC socket. Have the unit inspected by a
qualified service technician before attempting to use it again. Do not
remove the cover, there are no user-serviceable parts inside. Use
a dry soft cloth to clean the unit. If necessary, lightly dampen the cloth
with soapy water. Do not use solutions containing benzol or other
volatile agents.
REAR PANEL CONNECTIONS (FIGURE 1)
1. IR IN, OUT
The IR IN/OUT connector is used to pass commands from other units
fitted with IR IN/OUT connectors. This allows centralized control of a
complete system, and also allows some of the basic functions of other
NAD components (such as a tuner, CD player or cassette-deck) also
equipped with IR IN/OUT to be controlled with the amplifier's remote
control. To function with such other units, connect the C 352's IR OUT
to the IR IN on the other unit. The IR connectors can be daisy-chained,
IN to OUT, so that a whole system can be controlled from the remote
control facilities of one unit.
NOTES: It is advisable not to connect IR IN/OUT if these units that have
their own built-in remote control command receiver and are positioned
together, in direct view from the remote control handset. If you are
unsure, try operating the products without IR IN/OUT first; If the unit
responds to the remote control command, it will not be necessary to
connect IR IN/OUT. Never loop the last unit back to the first NAD unit in
the IR IN/OUT chain. Unplug all units from the mains before connecting
or disconnecting IR IN/OUT.
2. DISC INPUT
Input for additional line level input signals such as CD, Mini Disc player
or the output signal from a step-up amplifier for a turntable. Use a twin
RCA-to-RCA lead to connect the auxiliary unit's left and right 'Audio
Outputs' to this input.
3. CD INPUT
Input for a CD or other line-level signal source. Use a twin RCA-to-RCA
lead to connect the CD player's left and right 'Audio Outputs' to this
input. The NAD C 352 only accepts analogue signals from your CD player.
4. VIDEO INPUT
Input for the audio signal from a stereo VCR (or stereo TV/Satellite/Cable
receiver) or other line-level audio source. Using twin RCA-to-RCA leads,
connect to the left and right 'Audio Out' of the unit to these inputs.
Note: These are audio inputs only.
5. AUX INPUT
Input for additional line level input signals such as another CD player.
Use a twin RCA-to-RCA lead to connect the auxiliary unit's left and right
'Audio Outputs' to this input.
6. TUNER INPUT
Input for a Tuner or other line-level signal source. Use a twin RCA-to-RCA
lead to connect the Tuner left and right 'Audio Outputs' to this input.
7. TAPE 2 IN, OUT
Connections for analogue recording and playback to an audio tape
recorder of any type. Using twin RCA-to-RCA leads, connect to the left
and right 'Audio Output' of the tape machine to the TAPE 2 IN sockets
for playback and tape monitoring. Connect the left and right 'Audio
Input' of the tape machine to the TAPE 2 OUT sockets for recording.
8. TAPE 1 IN, OUT
Connections for analogue recording and playback to a secondary audio
tape recorder of any type. Using twin RCA-to-RCA leads, connect to the
left and right 'Audio Output' of the tape machine to the TAPE 1 IN sockets
for playback and tape monitoring. Connect the left and right 'Audio
Input' of the tape machine to the TAPE 1 OUT sockets for recording.
9. PRE OUT 1
In normal use the PRE OUT 1 is connected to the Main-In sockets (No. 9)
with the links supplied. The NAD C 352 allows for the connection of
multiple power amplifiers. If you are using a single, external stereo
power amplifier, disconnect the links to the Main-In sockets. The
C 352's internal power amplifier is now disconnected. Use a twin RCA-
to-RCA lead to connect to the left and right ‘Audio Input’ of the Power
amp to the PRE OUT 1 sockets.
10. PRE OUT 2
Connections to an external power amplifier or processor, such as a
surround-sound decoder. In normal use these should be connected to
the Main-In sockets (No. 11) with the links supplied. To connect your
NAD C 352 to external processor or amplifier sections first remove these
links. Use a twin RCA-to-RCA lead to connect to the left and right
‘Audio Input’ of the Power amp or processor to the Pre Out 2 sockets.
NOTE: The Pre-Out 2 output signal will be affected by the NAD C 352’s
volume and tone control settings. Always turn the amplifier off before
connecting or disconnecting anything to the Pre-Out 2 and Main-In
sockets.
