User manual NAD C300

[. . . ] Do not use this unit near water; for example, near a bath tub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement or near a swimming pool. The unit should be installed so that its location or position does not interfere with its proper ventilation. For example, it should not be situated on a bed, sofa, rug or similar surface that may block the ventilation openings; or placed in a built-in installation, such as a bookcase or cabinet, that may impede the flow of air through its ventilation openings. The unit should be situated from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves or other devices (including amplifiers) that produce heat. [. . . ] 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. 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. Use a twin RCAto-RCA lead to connect the Tuner left and right `Audio Outputs' to this input. 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. 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. 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. The LED will light up red initially and within seconds will turn green. POWER/PROTECTION LED Upon switching Power on, the LED will light up red for a few seconds before the protection circuit is de-activated. The LED will then turn green and the amplifier is ready for normal operation. In cases of serious abuse of the amplifier, such as overheating, excessively low loudspeaker impedance, short circuit, etc. The amplifier will engage its Protection circuitry, indicated by the LED turning from green to red and the sound being muted. In such a case, turn the amplifier off, wait for it to cool down and/or check the speaker connections, making sure the overall loudspeaker impedance doesn't go below 4 ohms. Once the cause for the protection circuitry to engage has been removed, press Power again to resume normal operation. HEADPHONE SOCKET A 1/4" stereo jack socket is supplied for headphone listening and will work with conventional headphones of any impedance. [. . . ] TAPE TO TAPE COPYING You can copy between two tape machines connected to your NAD C300. Put the source tape in the recorder connected to Tape 2 and the blank tape into the recorder connected to Tape 1. By selecting TAPE 2 Input you can now record from Tape 2 to Tape 1 and monitor the signal coming from the original tape.
