MDC CLASSIC UPGRADE SLOTS

The delivery format of digital content is constantly changing in pure digital
systems like the M32. Each of these formats typically requires specialized
hardware and software, often with licensed IP and content copy protection.
To address continuous technological evolution, NAD has placed all digital
interface circuitry of the M32 on easily upgradable modules, called Modular
Design Construction (MDC). The M32 includes one MDC module – the DD
SPDIF which has digital coaxial, optical and AES/EBU input terminals.
There are three optional MDC modules – the DD HDM-1, the DD AP 1 and
the MDC BluOS modules. Remove covers to install the optional Modular
Design Construction (MDC) modules.
Consult with your NAD dealer on how to procure the DD HDM-1, the DD
AP 1 and MDC BluOS modules and their installations to the M32.

DD HDM-1 (DIRECT DIGITAL HDMI)

The DD HDM-1 offers three HDMI input terminals and one HDMI output
with video pass through. With DD HDM-1 installed, the M32 can be the
heart of a "Video 2.0" system using the mandatory 2 channel linear PCM
soundtrack from Blu-ray or DVD to make a compelling high definition
theater presentation. DD HDM-1 is fully 3D video compatible without
surround sound decoding or video processing.
A HDMI OUT: Connect the HDMI Monitor OUT to a
HDTV or projector with HDMI input.
B HDMI 1 -3: Connect to the HDMI OUT
connectors of source components such as DVD
player, BD player or HDTV satellite/cable box.
WARNING!
Before connecting and disconnecting any
HDMI cables, both the M32 and the source must be powered OFF and
unplugged from the AC outlet. Failure to do so may cause permanent
damage to equipment connected via HDMI sockets.
IDENTIFICATION OF CONTROLS

DD AP 1 (DIRECT DIGITAL ANALOG-PHONO)

DD AP 1 uses high quality Analog-to-
Digital conversion to make analog sources
compatible with M32's pure digital circuitry.
The PHONO circuit has impedance settings for
Moving Magnet (MM) and Moving Coil (MC)
with gain automatically set.
The DD AP 1 consists of the following line
level input terminals – PHONO, SINGLE-ENDED
(ANALOG) and BALANCED.
A PHONO: Input for either a MM or MC
phono cartridge. Connect the twin RCA
lead from your turntable to this input.
B SE IN (SINGLE-ENDED): Use a twin RCA-to-RCA lead to connect these
sockets to the left and right analog output of a CD player, preamplifier
or processor.
C PHONO GROUND CONNECTOR: Turntables normally include a single
wire earth lead. Use the M32 phono ground connector to connect this
lead. Unscrew the terminal and insert the ground wire into the hole.
Tighten the terminal to secure the lead.
D BALANCED: Connect XLR audio sources to these connectors. Ensure
that proper pin configurations are followed – Pin 1: Ground, Pin 2:
Positive (signal live) and Pin 3: Negative (signal return).

MDC BluOS

BluOS is a music management software developed by NAD's sister brand,
A
Bluesound. Integrating MDC BluOS will add BluOS network and internet
music streaming with advanced music management to your M32.
Refer to
"MDC DD BluOS Mounting Instructions" and" Configuring DD
BluOS"
for instructions on how to install and integrate the MDC BluOS with
the M32.
