NOTES ON INSTALLATION
Your NAD C 162 should be placed on a firm, level surface. 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 place or it in an enclosed position such a bookcase or
cabinet that may impede the air-flow through the ventilation slots.
Make sure the unit and other components of your system are switched
off before making any connections.
The RCA sockets on your NAD C 162 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 home.
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 162, 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
1. MC INPUT
Input for a Moving Coil phono cartridge. Connect the twin RCA lead
from your turntable to this input if you are using a Moving Coil
cartridge.
2. MM INPUT
Input for a Moving Magnet phono cartridge. Connect the twin RCA
lead from your turntable to this input if you are using a Moving Magnet
cartridge.
3. MC-MM SWITCH
Use this switch to select the phono input you are using.
4. 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. After insertion, tighten the terminal to secure the lead.
5. 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 162 only accepts analogue signals from your CD
player.
6. 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.
7. 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.
4
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. 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 1OUT sockets for
recording.
11. PRE OUT 1
The NAD C 162 allows for the connection multiple power amplifiers. If
you are using a single stereo power amplifier, use the PRE OUT 1
sockets.
If you are using a pair of power amplifiers specifically for Bi-amping, use
the sockets to connect the power amplifier with the lowest gain of the
pair. 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.
12. PRE OUT 2
The PRE OUT 2 sockets can be used to drive an additional power
amplifier. The VOLUME PRE OUT 2 control (13) can be used to reduce
the output level of the pre-amplifier to the power amplifier by up to -
12dB. 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.
13. VOLUME PRE OUT 2
The VOLUME Pre Out 2 control allows for adjustment of the output level
of the PRE OUT 2 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.
