QUICK START

1. Connect the speakers and any other sources to

4. Press the POWER button to turn the NAD-710 on.
5. Press an input selector or the tuner button.
NOTES ON INSTALLATION.
Your NAD-710 should be placed on a firm, level sur-
face. Avoid placing the unit in direct sunlight or near
sources of heat and damp.
Allow adequate ventilation. Do not place the unit on a
soft surface like a carpet. Do not put it in an enclosed
position such a bookcase or cabinet that may impede
the air-flow through the ventilation slots.
Switch the unit off before making any connections.
Use high quality RCA leads and connectors for opti-
mum performance and reliability. Ensure that leads and
connectors are not damaged in any way and all con-
nectors are firmly pushed home. The RCA connectors
on your NAD-710 are colour coded red and white for
Right and Left audio respectively.
For best performance, use quality speaker leads of
16 gauge thickness or more.
If the unit is not going to be used for some time, dis-
connect the plug from the AC socket.
Should water get into your NAD-710, 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-service-
able parts inside.
Use a dry soft cloth to clean the unit. If necessary,
lightly dampened the cloth with soapy water. Do not
use solutions containing benzol or other volatile agents.
REAR PANEL CONNECTIONS.
1. AC POWER CORD
Connect the AC Power cord to a suitable AC outlet
socket.
2. FM ANTENNA
A ribbon wire FM antenna is included and should be
connected to the FM connector at the rear of the unit
using the 'balun' adapter supplied (see fig 1). The rib-
bon aerial should be mounted on a vertical surface and
placed so that it forms a 'T'.
Experiment with placement of the antenna to find the
position that gives the best signal strength and lowest
background noise.
An inadequate FM signal normally results in high lev-
els of hiss, especially in stereo, and interference from
external electrical sources. The tuner section's perfor-
mance can be improved by using an externally mount-
ed FM antenna. A qualified aerial installer will be able
to advise and fit a recommended aerial for your recep-
tion conditions.

NAD 710 STEREO AM/FM RECEIVER
3. AM ANTENNA
An AM wire antenna is supplied with the NAD-710
and is required for AM reception. To connect the AM
antenna, press the key on the AM Antenna terminal
downwards. Insert the bare antenna wire into the AM
terminal hole and push the connector key upwards
again to secure the connection (see fig 2).
Test various positions for the antenna wire for best
reception. Placing the antenna close to large metal
items such as metal shelves or radiators may interfere
with reception .
Connecting the Ground (G) terminal to a true-ground
(such as an electrical ground terminal, a cold water
supply pipe or a copper-plated rod driven several feet
into the ground) may also improve reception.
To improve reception of distant AM stations, use a
longer wire (up to 30 meters) preferably placed horizon-
tally, high up and outside. A qualified aerial installer will
be able to advise on a recommended aerial for your
reception conditions.
4. CD INPUT
Input for a CD or other line-level signal source. Use a
twin RCA-to-RCA lead to connect the left and right ana-
logue Audio Outputs of a CD player to this input.
5. 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 or a
SCART/RCA Adapter, connect to the left and right
'Audio Out' of the unit to these inputs.
Note: These are audio inputs only.
6. 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.
7. TAPE 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 connectors for
playback and tape monitoring. Connect the left and
right 'Audio Input' of the tape machine to the TAPE
OUT connectors for recording.
8. SPEAKERS
Outputs for speakers with an impedance of 4
more.
The 'RIGHT+' terminal should be connected to the
'+' terminal on your right-hand loudspeaker and the
'RIGHT-' connected to the loudspeaker's '-' terminal.
Connect the terminals marked 'LEFT+' and 'LEFT-'
to the left-hand speaker in the same way.
Always use heavy duty stranded wire or specialist
speaker cables to connect the loudspeakers to your
NAD-710.
The high-current binding post terminals can be used
as a screw terminal for cables terminating in spade or
pin connectors, or for cables with bare wire ends.
