Under normal operation, connect the right speaker to the terminals market 'R +' and
In Bridge Mode, connect the single speaker to the terminals marked 'R +' and 'L+' ensuring that the 'L+' is connected to the '+' terminal on your loudspeaker and the 'L+' is connected to the loudspeaker's
Always use heavy duty (16 gauge; 1.5mm, or thicker) stranded wire to connect loudspeakers to your NAD C 372. The
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.
NOTE: Make sure the speaker impedance is 4 ohms or more when connecting only one pair of speakers; make sure the speaker impedance for all speakers is more then 8 ohms when connecting two sets of speakers. In Bridge Mode, the impedance of the loudspeaker should also be 8 ohms or higher.
17. SWITCHED AC OUTLET
The AC power cord of another component may be plugged into this accessory outlet. Components plugged into this outlet will be switched On and Off by the POWER button on the front panel or by the ON and
NOTE: The total power consumption of any components connected to the AC outlets may not exceed 100 Watts.
18. IEC AC MAINS (POWER) INPUT
The C 372 comes supplied with a separate AC Mains cable. Before connecting the cable to a live wall socket ensure that it is firmly connected to the NAD C 372's AC Mains input socket first. Always disconnect the AC Mains cable plug from the live wall socket first, before disconnecting the cable from the C 372 Mains input socket.

2. POWER / STAND-BY / PROTECTION INDICATOR
Upon switching the power on, the LED will light up amber in standby state. While one of the input select buttons is pressed, the LED will turn red for a moment, then turn green for ON state. 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.

3. HEADPHONE SOCKET
A 1/4" stereo jack socket is supplied for headphone listening and will work with conventional headphones of any impedance. The headphone socket will work in parallel to the selected speakers. To listen to headphones only,
The volume, tone and balance controls are operative for headphone listening. Use a suitable adapter to connect headphones with other types of sockets, such as 3.5mm stereo 'personal stereo' jack plugs.
NOTE: Make certain that the volume control is turned to minimum (fully
4. SPEAKERS A & B
The Speakers A and B buttons engage or disengage the speakers connected respectively to the Speakers A and Speakers B terminals on the rear panel. Press A to switch the speakers connected to the speaker A terminals On or Off. Press B to switch the speakers connected to the speaker A terminals On or Off. The indicator directly over the buttons shows the status of speakers A and B.
