IDENTIFICATION OF CONTROLS
REAR PANEL
+12V TRIGGER IN
•
With this input triggered by a 12V DC supply, the C 389 can be
switched ON remotely from standby mode by compatible devices
such as amplifiers, preamplifiers, receivers, etc. If the 12V DC supply
is cut off, the C 389 will return to standby mode.
•
Connect this +12V Trigger input to the remote device's
corresponding +12V DC output jack using a mono cable with
3.5mm male plug. The controlling device must be equipped with a
+12V trigger output to use this feature.
NOTE
If there is a stereo jack connected to +12V TRIGGER IN, the C 389 cannot
be powered ON/OFF using the front panel Standby button or SR 10's
ON/OFF buttons. The stereo jack has to be unplugged to resume normal
powering up of the unit via front panel Standby button or SR 10's ON/
OFF buttons.
7 HDMI eARC
•
Connect to TV that supports HDMI Control (CEC) and Enhanced
Audio Return Channel (eARC) functions. HDMI CEC or eARC
functions are possible if external devices that also support these
features are interconnected with C 389 via HDMI connection.
•
Use HDMI cable to connect HDMI eARC to corresponding HDMI
eARC port of TV. Use HDMI cable that has Ultra High Speed HDMI
Certification Label to enjoy support for larger bandwidth and high
bitrate format.
•
With eARC connection established, C 389 will output audio signal
from TV.
IMPORTANT
• Ensure that the audio setting/format of eARC-connected devices to
C 389 is set to PCM only.
• Only audio output signal from TV is supported by HDMI eARC port.
• There is no video output at HDMI eARC port of C 389.
8 OPTICAL 1-2/COAXIAL 1-2
•
Connect to the corresponding optical and coaxial digital output
of sources such as CD or BD/DVD players, digital cable box, digital
tuners and other applicable components.
9 PHONO
•
Input for a Moving Magnet (MM) phono cartridge only. Connect the
twin RCA-to-RCA lead from your turntable to this input if you are
using a Moving Magnet cartridge.
•
If your turntable includes a ground/earth lead, it can be connected
to the Ground Terminal (refer to item 17 below).
10 LINE 1-2 IN
•
Input for line level sources such as CD player, tuner or any
compatible devices. Use a twin RCA-to-RCA lead to connect the
source device's left and right "Audio Output" to these line input
ports.
11 PRE OUT
•
Use dual RCA-to-RCA cable to connect PRE-OUT to the
corresponding analog audio input of compatible devices such
as amplifiers, receivers or other applicable devices. This makes it
possible to use the C 389 as a pre-amplifier to such devices.

12 SUB OUT 1, 2
•
Connect SUBW 1 and/or 2 to the low level input of corresponding
powered subwoofer.
•
Anything below your crossover setting (accessible via BluOS
Controller App with optional MDC2 BluOS D installed) will be sent
out via SUB OUT. Default crossover setting is 80Hz.
13 SPEAKERS
•
The C 389 has two sets of SPEAKER connections that are identical in
function (parallel connection).
•
Connect C 389's Right speaker terminals marked "R +" and "R-" to
the corresponding "+" and "-" terminals of your designated right
speaker. Repeat the same for C 389's Left speaker terminals and
corresponding left speaker.
•
Double check the speaker connections before powering up the
C 389.
IMPORTANT NOTES
• The blue terminals must never be connected to ground (earth).
• Never connect the blue terminals together or to any common ground
device.
• Do not connect the output of this amplifier to any headphone adapter,
speaker switch or any device that uses common ground for left and
right channels.
14 POWER
•
Supplies the AC mains power to C 389.
•
When the POWER switch is set to ON position, the C 389 goes to
standby mode as shown by the amber status condition of the front
panel Power indicator.
•
Press the front panel Standby button or SR 10's remote control's
[ON] button to switch ON the C 389 from standby mode.
•
If you do not intend to use the C 389 for long periods of time (such
as when on vacation), switch off the POWER switch.
•
With POWER switched off, neither the front panel Standby button
nor SR 10 remote control's [ON] button can activate the C 389.
15 AC MAINS INPUT
•
The C 389 comes supplied with two separate mains power cords.
Select the mains power cord appropriate for your region.
•
Before connecting the plug to the mains power outlet, ensure that
it is firmly connected to the C 389's AC Mains input socket.
•
Always disconnect the mains power plug from the mains power
outlet before disconnecting the cable from the C 389's AC Mains
input socket.
16 FUSE HOLDER
•
Only qualified NAD service technicians can have access to this fuse
holder. Opening this fuse holder may cause damage thus voiding
the warranty of your C 389.
17 GROUND TERMINAL
•
Ensure that the C 389 is plugged-in to a grounded AC wall outlet.
•
If necessary, use this ground terminal to connect to ground a
phono or turntable source for PHONO input.
•
If a separate earth ground is necessary, use this terminal to ground
your C 389. The C 389 can be connected to ground by connecting
a ground lead wire or similar to this terminal. After insertion, tighten
the terminal to secure the lead.
