8Balance : The BALANCE control adjusts the relative levels of the left and right speakers. The 12 o’clock position provides equal level to the left and right channels. A detent indicates this position.

Rotating the control clockwise moves the balance towards the right. Rotating the control anti-clockwise moves the balance to the left. The BALANCE control does not affect recordings made using the Tape outputs but will affect the signal going to the Speakers.

9Volume : The VOLUME control adjusts the overall loudness of the signals being fed to the loudspeakers. It is motor driven and can be adjusted from the remote control handset. The VOLUME control does not affect recordings made using the Tape outputs but will affect the signal going to the Speakers.

On the remote control handset, press the MUTE button to temporarily switch off the sound to the speakers and headphones. Mute mode is indicated by the active input LED flashing. Press the MUTE button again to restore sound. Mute does not affect recordings made using the Tape outputs but will affect the signal going to the Speakers.

REAR PANEL CONNECTIONS (FIGURE 2)

1Disc 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.

NOTES

When a 3.5mm stereo plug is inserted into the Front Panel MP socket, the indicator above the socket will illuminate, and the DISC line-level source will be disconnected.

It is recommended to mute the volume or switch to a different input before plugging/unplugging the external Media Player cable.

2CD 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 C315BEE only accepts analogue signals from your CD player.

3Video 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 Outputs’ of the unit to these inputs. Note: These are audio inputs only.

4AUX 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.

5Tuner 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.

6Tape 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 IN sockets for playback and tape monitoring. Connect the left and right ‘Audio Input’ of the tape machine to the TAPE OUT sockets for recording.

TO MAKE A RECORDING

When any source is selected, its signal is also fed directly to any tape machine connected to the TAPE OUTPUT for recording.

7Speakers : 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 C315BEE. 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 (FIGURE 3)

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.

8AC line cord : Plug the AC power cord into a live AC wall socket. Make sure all connections have been made before connecting to mains.

9POWER Switch : The POWER switch supplies the master AC mains power for the C315BEE. When this switch is in the ON position the C315BEE is in standby as shown by the amber Status Condition L.E.D. above the power switch on the front panel. If you intend not to use the amplifier for long periods of time, switch the POWER switch to the OFF position.

REMOTE CONTROL HANDSET AMP 1 (FIGURE 4)

The Remote Control handset handles all the key functions of the NAD C315BEE and has additional controls to remotely operate NAD CD machines. It will operate up to a distance of 16ft (5m). Alkaline batteries are recommended for maximum operating life. One CR2025 battery should be fitted in the battery compartment at the back of the Remote Control handset (see Figure 4).

Please refer to previous sections of the manual for a full description of individual functions.

When a command from the remote control is received, the Standby/ protection indicator will blink.

1POWER ON & OFF : The NAD C315BEE remote has a separate On and Off button. This can be particularly useful to keep components within a system “insync”: This way all components will switch to stand-by when Off is pressed or switch to operating mode when On is pressed, instead

of some components switching On when the amplifier is switched to Stand-by. (Note that the other components have to be capable of responding to the separate On and Off commands as well). Press the ON button to switch the unit from Stand-by to the operating mode; The Stand-by indicator (Fig. 1; No. 2) will turn from amber, to red, then to green. Press the OFF button to switch the unit to the Stand-by mode: The Stand-by indicator will light up amber.

2MUTE : Press the MUTE Button to temporarily switch off the sound to the speakers and headphones. Press MUTE again to restore sound. Mute does not affect recordings made using the Tape output but will affect the signal going to the Speakers.
