NOTES ON INSTALLATION
Your NAD C 372 should be placed on a firm, level surface. Avoid placing
the unit in direct sunlight or near sources of heat and dampness. Allow
adequate ventilation. Do not place the unit on a soft surface like a
carpet. Do not place unit in an enclosed position, such a bookcase or
cabinet, that may impede the air-flow through the ventilation slots.
Make sure the unit is switched off before making any connections.
The RCA sockets on your NAD C 372 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 in.
For best performance, use quality speaker leads of 16 gauge (1.5mm)
thickness or more. 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 372, 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 (FIGURE 1)
1. DISC INPUT
Input for additional line level input signals such as CD, Mini Disc player
or the output signal from a step-up amplifier for a turntable. Use a twin
RCA-to-RCA lead to connect the auxiliary unit's left and right 'Audio
Outputs' to this input.
2. 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 372 only accepts analogue signals from your CD
player.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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. Connect the left and right 'Audio Input' of the tape
machine to the TAPE 2 OUT sockets for recording.
7. 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 1 OUT sockets for
recording.
8. PRE OUT 1
In normal use the PRE OUT 1 is connected to the Main-In sockets
(No. 9) with the links supplied. The NAD C 372 allows for the
connection of multiple power amplifiers. If you are using a single,
external stereo power amplifier, disconnect the links to the Main-In
sockets. The C 372's internal power amplifier is now disconnected.
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.
NOTES: Always turn the C 372 and associated external power
amplifiers off before connecting or disconnecting anything to the PRE-
OUT 1, 2 and MAIN-IN sockets. The PRE-OUT 1&2 output signals will be
affected by the NAD C 372's volume and tone control settings.
9. MAIN IN
Connections to an external pre-amplifier or processor, such as a
surround-sound decoder. In normal use these are connected to the Pre-
Out 1 sockets (No. 8) with the links supplied. To connect your NAD
C 372 to external processor or pre-amplifier first remove these links. Use
a twin RCA-to-RCA lead to connect to the left and right 'Audio Output'
of the pre-amp or processor to the Main-In sockets.
NOTES: Always turn the C 372 and associated external power
amplifiers off before connecting or disconnecting anything to the PRE-
OUT 1, 2 and MAIN-IN sockets.
The PRE-OUT 1&2 output signals will be affected by the NAD C 372's
volume and tone control settings.
10. PRE OUT 2
The PRE OUT 2 sockets can be used to drive an additional power
amplifier. The VOLUME Pre-Out 2 control (No. 11) 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.
