1 STANDBY
With the rear panel POWER switch set to ON position, press this
button to turn the C 316BEE ON. The Standby LED indicator will turn
from amber to blue. Pressing the STANDBY button again returns the
unit to standby mode.
The C 316BEE can also be switched ON from standby mode by
pressing any of the front panel buttons.
2 STANDBY LED
This indicator is amber when the C 316BEE is in standby state. When
the C 316BEE is at ON state, the indicator will be blue.
The indicator will flash momentarily when an infrared command
from the AMP 4 remote is received.
The C 316BEE will engage its Protection circuitry (indicated by
the Standby LED turning from blue to red and muting the sound)
should an issue such as excessively low speaker impedance, short
circuit, or other environmental problems occur.
Should such an issue occur, switch OFF the C 316BEE via the rear
panel POWER switch, wait for it to cool down and check the speaker
connections to ensure the overall loudspeaker impedance doesn't
go below 4 ohms. Once the cause has been removed, switch
ON the rear panel POWER switch and then, press the front panel
STANDBY button to resume normal operation.
3 PHONES
A 1/4" stereo jack socket is supplied for headphone listening and will
work with conventional headphones of any impedance.
Inserting a headphone jack into this socket automatically switches
off the loudspeakers.
The volume, tone and balance controls are operative for headphone
listening.
Use a suitable adapter to connect headphones with other types of
sockets, such as 3.5mm "personal stereo" jack plugs.
NOTE
Make certain that the volume control is turned to minimum (fully
counter-clockwise) before connecting or disconnecting headphones.
Listening at high levels can damage your hearing.

These buttons select the active input to the NAD C 316BEE and the
signal sent to the loudspeakers or headphones. The AMP 4 remote
control duplicates these buttons. When selected, the corresponding
input LED indicator will illuminate blue.
Using a 3.5mm stereo plug, connect into this socket the audio
output of a Media Player.
Point the AMP 4 remote control at the remote sensor and press
the buttons. Do not expose the remote sensor of the C 316BEE to a
strong light source such as direct sunlight or illumination. If you do
so, you may not be able to operate the C 316BEE with the remote
control.
The NAD C 316BEE is fitted with BASS and TREBLE tone controls to
adjust the tonal balance of your system. The 12 o'clock position is
"flat" with no boost or cut (an indent indicates this position).
Rotate the control clockwise to increase the amount of Bass or
Treble. Rotate the control counterclockwise to decrease the amount
of Bass or Treble.
