User manual NAD C340

[. . . ] 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. [. . . ] To connect your NAD C340 to external processor or pre-amplifier first remove these links. Use a twin RCA-to-RCA lead to connect to the left and right `Audio Output' of the pre-amp or processor to the Main-In sockets. NOTE: Always turn the amplifier off before connecting or disconnecting anything from to Pre-Out and Main-In sockets. SOFT CLIPPING When an amplifier is driven beyond its specified power output, a hard, distorted sound can be heard on very loud sounds. This is caused by the amplifier cutting off or `hard clipping' the peaks of sound that it was not designed to reproduce. the NAD Soft Clipping circuit gently limits the output of the system to minimise audible distortion if the amplifier is overdriven. If your listening involves moderate power levels you may leave the Soft Clipping switch to Off. If you are likely to play at high levels, that could stretch the amplifier's power capability, then switch Soft Clip On. The Soft Clipping LED on the front panel will illuminate when the amplifier is in Soft Clip mode. Connect the right speaker to the terminals market `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. 5mm , or thicker) stranded wire to connect loudspeakers to your NAD C340. 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. NAD LINK IN, OUT The NAD-Link connector is used to pass commands from other units fitted with NAD-Link connectors. This allows centralised 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 NAD-Link to be controlled with the amplifier's remote control. To function with such other units, connect the C340's NAD-Link Out to the NAD-Link In on the other unit. NAD-Link connectors can be daisy-chained, IN to OUT, so that a whole system can be controlled from the remote control facilities of one unit. [. . . ] Anslut en kabel från TAPE 2 OUT på C340 till däckets LINE IN kontakter, och en andra kabel till däckets LINE OUT kontakter till TAPE 2 IN kontakter. Anslut ett par signalkablar till höger och vänster "Audio Input" kontakt på effektförstärkaren eller processorn till "PRE OUT" kontakterna. Anslut ett par signalkablar till höger och vänster "Audio output" kontakt på effektförstärkaren eller processorn till "PRE OUT" kontakterna. Anslut höger högtalare till terminalerna märkta "R+" och "R-" och försäkra dig om att "R+" är ansluten till högtalarens pluspol och "R-" är ansluten till högtalarens minuspol. [. . . ]
