Getting Started; Notes On Installation - NAD C275BEE Owner's Manual

QUICK START
In case you simply cannot wait to experience the performance of your
new NAD C 275BEE Stereo Power Amplifier, we provide the following
QUICKSTART instructions to get you underway.
Please make all the connections to your C 275BEE 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 Connect your speakers to the SPEAKER A terminals of C 275BEE.
2 Connect your Preamplifier' s PRE OUT to the C 275BEE rear panel' s INPUT port.
3 Make sure to set the following conditions: your Preamplifier's volume
level set to minimum; C 275BEE's +12V Trigger IN switch set to "OFF"
position and INPUT SELECT switch at "FIX" position.
4 Connect the AC cord to the C 275BEE's AC Mains input and then plug
into an AC outlet.
5 Switch the POWER switch on the rear panel to the "ON" setting in order
to turn the C 275BEE to standby mode. The Standby LED indicator
embedded around the bezel of the STANDBY button will illuminate
amber.
6 Press the STANDBY button to turn ON the C 275BEE. The Standby LED
indicator will turn from amber to blue.
SAVE THE PACKAGING
Please save the box and all of the packaging in which your C 275BEE
arrived. Should you move or otherwise need to transport your receiver,
this is by far the safest container in which to do so. We've seen too many
otherwise perfect components damaged in transit for lack of a proper
shipping carton, so please: Save that box!

NOTES ON INSTALLATION

Your NAD C 275BEE should be placed on a firm, level surface. Avoid
placing the unit in direct sunlight or near sources of heat and damp. Allow
adequate ventilation. Do not place the unit on a soft surface like a carpet.
Do not place it in an enclosed position such a bookcase or cabinet that
may impede the air-flow through the ventilation slots. Make sure the unit is
switched off before making any connections.
The RCA sockets on your NAD C 275BEE are colour coded for convenience.
Red and white are Right and Left audio respectively.
Use high quality leads and sockets for optimum performance and reliability.
Ensure that leads and sockets are not damaged in any way and all sockets
are firmly pushed home.
For best performance, use quality speaker leads of 16 gauge (1.5mm)
thickness or more. If the unit is not going to be used for some time,
disconnect the plug from the AC socket.
Should water get into your NAD C 275BEE, shut off the power to the unit
and remove the plug from the AC socket. Have the unit inspected by a
qualified service technician before attempting to use it again.
DO NOT REMOVE THE COVER; THERE ARE NO USER-SERVICEABLE
PARTS INSIDE.
Use a dry soft cloth to clean the unit. If necessary, lightly dampen the cloth with
soapy water. Do not use solutions containing benzol or other volatile agents.
INTRODUCTION
BARE WIRES AND PIN CONNECTORS
WARNING: The terminals marked with this symbol
are hazardous live. External wiring connected to these
terminals requires installation by an instructed person or
the use of ready-made leads or cords.
Bare wires and pin sockets should be inserted into the hole in the shaft
of the terminal. Unscrew the speaker terminal's plastic bushing until the
hole in the screw shaft is revealed. Insert the pin or bare cable end into
the hole and secure the cable by tightening down the terminal's bushing.
Ensure bare wire from the speaker cables does not touch the back panel or
another socket. Ensure that there is only 1/2" (1cm) of bare cable or pin and
no loose strands of speakers wire.
