User manual NAD C162

[. . . ] 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. [. . . ] With the VOLUME PRE OUT 2 control set to the maximum position (at the 0dB position), the output level will be identical to that of the PRE OUT 1 sockets. If you are using a pair of power amplifiers specifically for Bi-amping, use the PRE OUT 2 sockets to connect the power amplifier with the highest gain of the pair. By adjusting the VOLUME PRE OUT 2 control (13) the volume level can be matched exactly to that of the power amplfier connected to the PRE OUT 1 sockets. refer also to chapter "Bi-amping" for more information. 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. The output level can be reduced by up to 12dB; when set to the maximum position (at the 0dB position), the output level will be identical to that of the PRE OUT 1 sockets. refer also to chapter "Bi-amping" for more information. NOTE Always turn the pre-amplifier and associated power amplifiers off before connecting or disconnecting anything to the Pre-Out 1 & 2 sockets. PHONO GROUND CONNECTOR Often, the twin RCA leads from turntables also includes a single wire earth lead. Use the NAD C 162 phono ground connector to connect this lead. Unscrew the terminal to expose the hole, which will accept the lead. Use a twin RCA-to-RCA lead to connect the CD player's left and right `Audio Outputs' to this input. The NAD C 162 only accepts analogue signals from your CD player. 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. 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. NOTE The total power consumption of any components connected to the AC outlets may not exceed 100 Watts. Never connect the mains lead of a power amplifier to either the Switched or Unswitched outlets of the NAD C 162. QUICK START 1 Connect a twin RCA lead to a power amplifier. INFRA-RED REMOTE CONTROL COMMAND RECEIVER The infrared sensor, located behind this circular window, receives commands from the remote control. There must be a clear line-of-sight path from the remote control to this window; if that path is obstructed, the remote control may not work. [. . . ] The VIDEO 1, VIDEO 3, input selectors, and SPK A and SPK B buttons on the SR 5 remote control handset are inoperative when used with the C 162. MUTE Press the MUTE Button to temporarily switch off the sound to the speakers and headphones. Mute does not affect recordings made using the Tape outputs. The motorised Volume Control on the front panel will indicate the level set. [. . . ]
