NOTES ON INSTALLATION

Your NAD C 352 should be placed on a firm, level surface. Avoid placing the unit in direct sunlight or near sources of heat and dampness. Allow adequate ventilation. Do not place the unit on a soft surface like a carpet. Do not place unit 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 C 352 are colour coded for convenience. Red and white are Right and Left audio respectively, and yellow for NAD Link. 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 in.

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 C 352, 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.

REAR PANEL CONNECTIONS (FIGURE 1)

1. IR IN, OUT

The IR IN/OUT connector is used to pass commands from other units fitted with IR IN/OUT connectors. This allows centralized 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 IR IN/OUT to be controlled with the amplifier's remote control. To function with such other units, connect the C 352's IR OUT to the IR IN on the other unit. The IR connectors can be daisy-chained, IN to OUT, so that a whole system can be controlled from the remote control facilities of one unit.

NOTES: It is advisable not to connect IR IN/OUT if these units that have their own built-in remote control command receiver and are positioned together, in direct view from the remote control handset. If you are unsure, try operating the products without IR IN/OUT first; If the unit responds to the remote control command, it will not be necessary to connect IR IN/OUT. Never loop the last unit back to the first NAD unit in the IR IN/OUT chain. Unplug all units from the mains before connecting or disconnecting IR IN/OUT.

2. DISC 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.

3. CD 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 C 352 only accepts analogue signals from your CD player.

4. 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. Note: These are audio inputs only.

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. 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.

9. PRE OUT 1

In normal use the PRE OUT 1 is connected to the Main-In sockets (No. 9) with the links supplied. The NAD C 352 allows for the connection of multiple power amplifiers. If you are using a single, external stereo power amplifier, disconnect the links to the Main-In sockets. The C 352's internal power amplifier is now disconnected. Use a twin RCA- to-RCA lead to connect to the left and right ‘Audio Input’ of the Power amp to the PRE OUT 1 sockets.

10. PRE OUT 2

Connections to an external power amplifier or processor, such as a surround-sound decoder. In normal use these should be connected to the Main-In sockets (No. 11) with the links supplied. To connect your NAD C 352 to external processor or amplifier sections first remove these links. Use a twin RCA-to-RCA lead to connect to the left and right ‘Audio Input’ of the Power amp or processor to the Pre Out 2 sockets.

NOTE: The Pre-Out 2 output signal will be affected by the NAD C 352’s volume and tone control settings. Always turn the amplifier off before connecting or disconnecting anything to the Pre-Out 2 and Main-In sockets.
