NAD 711 Owner's Manual page 7

If your listening involves moderate power levels you
may leave the Soft Clipping switch off. If you are likely
to play at high levels that exceed the amplifier's
power capability, then switch Soft Clipping on.
11. VIDEO 1 (VIDEO)
Connection for the Line (Composite) video signal
input for VIDEO 1. Using a phono lead, connect the
'Video Out' of the VCR, TV, Laser Disc or
satellite/cable unit. VIDEO 1 can be used for video
playback only. Use VIDEO 2 if you want to connect a
VCR for recording and playback through the AV 711.
12. VIDEO 2 (VIDEO)
Connection for the Line (Composite) video signal
input for VIDEO 2. Using a phono lead, connect the
'Video Out' of the VCR to VIDEO 2 IN for playback.
Connect VIDEO 2 OUT to the 'Video In' of the VCR to
copy video signals from VIDEO 1.
13. MONITOR OUT
Composite (line) video output for connecting a TV
or Video Monitor to view video sources connected to
VIDEO 1 or VIDEO 2. Using a phono lead, connect
the 'Video Line In' on the TV or monitor to the MONI-
TOR OUT. This output can also be used as an
additional recording output if required. Video monitor-
ing must then be done via the output of the video
recorder.
14. FRONT SPEAKERS
These speaker outputs are switched on and off by
using the SPEAKERS button on the front panel.
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.
Always use heavy duty (16 gauge or thicker)
stranded wire to connect loudspeakers to your
AV 711.
Unscrew the speaker terminal's plastic bushing.
Insert the pin or bare cable end into the hole of the
terminal and then secure the cable by tightening
down the terminal's bushing (Fig. 3).
To avoid any danger of bare metal from the
speaker cables touching the back panel or another
connector, ensure that there is only !/2" (1.27cm)
of bare cable or pin and no loose strands of
speaker wire.
CAUTION: This unit is designed to produce opri-
mum sound quality when speakers with impedances
within the set ranges are connected. Please check
the following information and choose spweakers with
the necessary impedances for the connections.
FRONT SPEAKERS: 4 ohms min. per speaker
CENTER SPEAKER: 8 ohms min.
REAR SPEAKERS: 4 ohms min. per speaker
15. CENTER SPEAKER
This connects the center loudspeaker that is used
when the AV 711 is operated in Dolby Pro Logic or
Dolby 3 stereo mode. Connect the 'Center +' to the '+'
terminal on your center loudspeaker and the 'Center
–' to the loudspeaker's '–' terminal.
Strip 15mm of insulation from the end of the speak-
er cable and twist the bare wires so that there are no
loose strands. These terminals operate in the same
way as the Front Speaker terminals. These speakers
operate in conjunction with the Front Speakers and
are switched on and off by using the SPEAKERS but-
ton on the front panel.
16. REAR SPEAKERS
This connects the rear loudspeakers that are used
when the AV 711 is operated in Dolby™ Pro Logic or
Hall modes. Connect the right rear 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. Strip 8mm of insulation from the end of the
speaker cable and twist the bare wires so that there
are no loose strands. Push down the clip terminal
lever and insert the wire. Releasing the the lever will
lock the wire in place. These speakers operate in
conjunction with the Front Speakers and are switched
on and off by using the SPEAKERS button on the
front panel.

17. NAD-LINK IN OUT
The NAD-Link connector is used to pass
commands from the remote control to and from other
units fitted with NAD-Link connectors. This allows
centralised control of a complete system or gives
system control from more than one room. To function
with other units, connect the AV 711's NAD-Link OUT
to NAD-Link IN on the other unit. NAD-Link
connectors can be daisy-chained, IN to OUT, so that
a whole system can be controlled from the remote
control facilities of one unit.
A single NAD-Link connection from a hi-fi system in
a second room will allow remote control of Multi
Room systems.
18. AC OUTLETS (US & CANADIAN
VERSIONS ONLY)
The AC power cords of other units in the audio
system can be connected directly to the AV 711's
unswitched AC outlets. If another stereo component
is plugged into the UNSWITCHED AC outlet, power
will be supplied whether your AV711 is on or off.
The unswitched AC outlets should be used with
units with a COMBINED power consumption of no
more than 120 Watts.
19. AC POWER CORD CONNECTOR
After you have completed all connections to the
amplifier, plug the AC line cord into a "live" wall sock-
et or into a heavy-duty extension cord which can be
connected to a wall socket.
