Rear Panel - NAD C717 Owner's Manual

ATTENTION!
Please make all the connections to your C 717 with the unit unplugged. It is also advisable to power down or unplug all associated components while
making or breaking any signal or AC power connections.
1 ac power cord: Plug the AC power cord into a live AC wall socket.
Make sure all connections have been made before connecting to mains.
Connect only to the prescribed AC Outlet, i.e., 120V 60 Hz or 230V 50 Hz.
2 Subw (Subwoofer) out: Connect this output to a powered
("active") subwoofer or to a power amplifier channel driving a passive
system).
3 SpeakerS: Connect the left and right terminals to the corresponding
loudspeakers. Each output's "+" (red) terminal and "-" (black) terminal
must be connected to the corresponding "+" and "-" terminals of the
loudspeaker. Use extra care to ensure that no stray wires or strands cross
between posts or terminals at either end.
NOTES
• Use stranded wire of at least 16-gauge (AWG); specialized speaker cable
may be valuable (consult your NAD audio specialist). Connections to the
C 717 can be made with banana-type plugs, or using bare wire, or pins,
by loosening the terminal's plastic nut, making a clean, neat connection,
and re-tightening carefully. To minimize the danger of short-circuits,
ensure that only 1/2-inch of exposed wire or pin is employed in
connecting.
• This unit is designed to produce optimum sound quality when connected to
speakers with impedances within the C 717's operating range. Please check
that speakers are rated to be 6 ohms minimum per speaker.
4 Scart/rgb out: Connect the C 717's "SCART/RGB OUT" to the SCART/
RGB video input of a compatible video monitor/TV. Be sure to observe
the correct orientation of the SCART/RGB plug. Make sure also to set
"VIDEO OUT" to "RGB" at the SETUP menu for stable video availability at
SCART/RGB OUT.

5 optical digital out: Connect the OPTICAL DIGITAL OUT port
to the corresponding S/PDIF digital input of a receiver, computer
soundcard or other digital processors.
6 video out: Connect to the corresponding composite video input of
a compatible monitor/television, projector, A/V receiver or processor
using quality dual-RCA cable designed for video signals.
7 component video out: Connect the C 717's "COMPONENT VIDEO
OUT" to the component video input of a compatible video monitor/TV.
Be sure to observe consistency in connecting the appropriate Y, Cb/Pb,
Cr/Pr jacks to the corresponding sources/inputs. Do not rely purely
on the color coding of the jacks, which may not always be consistent
among brands. The routing of the component video output is fixed.
NOTES
• Make sure to set "VIDEO OUT" to "COMPONENT" at the SETUP menu for
video to be available at Component Video OUT. Refer also to the item
about VIDEO OUT under the USING THE C 717's INTERNAL DVD PLAYER
- SETUP MENU section of the OPERATION page.
• "COMPONENT VIDEO OUT" will only display the internal DVD video
signals.
8 vcr in/out: VCR may be used with recording components such as a
cassette deck. Connect analog stereo audio from such source components
into the C715' s VCR IN. Connect the C 717' s VCR OUT to the source
components' record-input. Note that VCR may freely be used for play-only
components, in which case the OUT jacks would remain unconnected.
NOTES
• There will be no output at VCR OUT when VCR is active source input.
This prevents feedback through the recording component thereby
preventing possible damage to your speakers.
• VCR IN/OUT is for audio signal only.
