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. [. . . ] NOTE: always turn the amplifier off before connecting or disconnecting anything to the Pre-Out and Main-In sockets. Connect the right speaker to the terminals market `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. 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. Which are also equipped with a 12V trigger input. 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. [. . . ] 4) to temporarily switch off the sound to the speakers and headphones. Mute does not affect recordings made using the Tape outputs but will affect the signal going to the Preamp output (Pre Out). Release the button when the desired level is reached. The motorised Volume Control on the front panel will indicate the level set. [. . . ]
