User manual NAD C350

[. . . ] Warning: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this unit to rain or moisture. The lightning flash with an arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. the exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the product. Do not place this unit on an unstable cart, stand or tripod, bracket or table. [. . . ] 5mm , or thicker) stranded wire to connect loudspeakers to your NAD C350. 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. 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 indicator on the front panel will illuminate when the amplifier is in Soft Clip mode. 12V TRIGGER OUT This output allows to remotely switch on or off ancillary equipment such as a tuner, power amplifier, etc. This can also be an AC outlet power strip equipped with a 12V trigger input. The 12V trigger output is activated whenever the unit is in switched to normal operational mode from Stand-by or Off. NOTES: Check the specifications of the Trigger input terminal on the other components to ensure these are compatible with the C350's 12V-trigger output. NAD components equipped with 12V input triggers are fully compatible with the C350's 12V output trigger. Before making any connections to any 12V trigger input or output, make sure all components are disconnected from the AC mains. Failure to observe the above may result in damage to the C350 or any ancillary components attached to it. If in doubt over the connections, installation and operation of the 12V trigger output consult your NAD dealer. SWITCHED AC OUTLET (NORTH AMERICAN VERSIONS ONLY) The AC power cord of another component may be plugged into this accessory outlet. [. . . ] Some buttons on this handset are inoperative as the functions aren't supported by the C350. When a command from the remote control is received, the Standby/protection indicator will blink. Note that the indicator may also blink when receiving commands not necessarily for the C350 but for other components in the system. There are a few differences and extra functions with the remote control handset however: TUNER AM, TUNER FM Selects the Tuner input on the NAD C350 and respectively the AM or FM waveband on a separate remote controllable NAD Tuner.
