1 STANDBY: With the rear panel POWER switch set to ON position,
press this button to switch ON the C 316BEE from standby mode.
The Standby LED indicator will turn from amber to blue. Pressing the
STANDBY button again turns the unit back 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 will light up amber when the C 316BEE
is in standby state. When the C 316BEE is at ON state, this indicator will
illuminate blue. When infrared command from the AMP 1 is received,
this indicator will also flash momentarily.
In cases of serious abuse of the C 316BEE, such as excessively low
loudspeaker impedance and short circuit, the C 316BEE will engage its
Protection circuitry, indicated by the Standby LED turning from blue to
red and the sound being muted.
In such a case, switch OFF the C 316BEE OFF via the rear panel POWER
switch, wait for it to cool down and/or check the speaker connections,
making sure the overall loudspeaker impedance doesn't go below 4
ohms. Once the cause for the protection circuitry to engage 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.

4 INPUT SELECTORS: These buttons select the active input to the NAD
C 316BEE and the signal sent to the loudspeakers or headphones. The
buttons on the remote control handset duplicate these buttons. When
selected, the corresponding input LED indicator above the particular
input button will illuminate blue.
TAPE: Selects Tape as the active input.
TUNER: Selects the tuner (or other line-level source) connected to the
tuner sockets as the active input.
AUX: Selects a line-level source connected to the AUX sockets as the
active input.
VIDEO: Selects the VCR (or stereo TV/Satellite/Cable receiver)
connected to the VIDEO sockets as the active input.
CD: Selects the CD (or other line-level source) connected to the CD
sockets as the active input.
DISC: Selects a line-level source connected to the DISC sockets.
5 MP SOCKET: Using a 3.5mm stereo plug, connect into this socket the
audio output of a Media Player.
NOTES
• If an external Media Player is connected to the front MP socket (using
a 3.5mm stereo plug) while listening to a DISC line-level source, the
external Media Player will be directly selected with the DISC line-level
source immediately disconnected.
• It is recommended to mute the volume or switch to a different input
before plugging/unplugging the external Media Player cable.
6 REMOTE SENSOR: Point the AMP 1 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.
Distance: About 23ft (7m) from the front of the remote sensor.
Angle: About 30o in each direction of the front of the remote sensor.
