Video Input; Aux Input - NAD C300 Manuel D'installation

NOTES ON INSTALLATION
Your NAD C300 should be placed on a firm, level surface. Avoid
placing the unit in direct sunlight or near sources of heat and damp.
Allow adequate ventilation. Do not place the unit on a soft surface
like a carpet. Do not place or it 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 C300 are colour coded for
convenience. Red and white are Right and Left audio respectively.
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 home.
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 C300, 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.

5. 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.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. SPEAKERS
Speaker terminals for speakers with an impedance of 4 ohms or
more. Connect the right speaker to the terminals marked 'R +'
and 'R-' ensuring that the 'R+' is connected to the '+' terminal on
your loudspeaker and the 'R-' is connected to the loudspeaker's '-
' terminal. Connect the terminals marked 'L+' and 'L-' to the left
speaker in the same way.
Always use heavy duty (16 gauge; 1.5mm, or thicker) stranded wire
to connect loudspeakers to your NAD C300. The high-current
binding post terminals can be used as a screw terminal for cables
terminating in spade or pin sockets or for cables with bare wire ends.
BARE WIRES AND PIN CONNECTORS
Bare wires and pin sockets should be inserted into the hole in the
shaft of the terminal. Unscrew the speaker terminal's plastic
bushing until the hole in the screw shaft is revealed. Insert the pin
or bare cable end into the hole and secure the cable by tightening
down the terminal's bushing.
Ensure bare wire from the speaker cables does not touch the back
panel or another socket. Ensure that there is only 1/2" (1cm) of
bare cable or pin and no loose strands of speakers wire.
9. 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.
