NAD M15 HD Owner's Manual page 9

4 AUDIO PRE-OUT
The AUDIO PRE- OUT makes it possible to use the M15 HD as a pre-
amplifier to external power amplifiers for some or all channels.
• Connect FRONT L, FRONT R, CENTER, SURR R, SURR L, SURR-BL and
SURR-BR to the respective channel input of a power amplifier or
amplifiers driving the corresponding applicable speakers.
• Connect the SUBW1 (and/or SUBW2) output to powered ("active")
subwoofers or to power amplifier channels driving a passive system.
• Unlike the full range channels, there is no power amplifier built-into
the M15 HD for a subwoofer.
5 RS 232
NAD is a certified partner of AMX and Crestron and fully supports
these external devices. Check out the NAD website for information
about AMX and Crestron compatibility with NAD. See your NAD audio
specialist for more information.
• Connect this interface using RS-232 serial cable (not supplied) to
any Windows compatible PC to allow remote control of the M15 HD
via compatible external controllers.
• Refer to the NAD website for information about RS232 Protocol
documents and PC interface program.
6 +12V TRIGGER IN (OFF/AUTO)
• When at AUTO position, the M15 HD selects the +12V TRIGGER IN to
turn ON (if so assigned at the "Trigger Setup" menu) and at the same
time disables the HTRM and front panel's ON/OFF function.
• When at OFF position, the trigger input is disabled.
WARNING
If "Auto Trigger In" at Trigger Setup menu is assigned to "Main" or "All"
and the +12V TRIGGER IN switch is set to "AUTO" mode, the standby
button in the front panel as well as the corresponding ON/OFF function
keys in the HTRM remote control will be disabled effectively handling
this function to an external controller. Slide to "OFF" the +12V TRIGGER
IN switch to maintain normal power ON/OFF function procedures.
7 IR IN/IR OUT 1-3
These mini-jacks accept and output remote-controlled codes in
electrical format, using industry-standard protocols, for use with "IR-
repeater" and multi-room systems and related technologies.
• All NAD products with IR IN/IR OUT features are fully compatible
with the M15 HD. For non-NAD models, please check with your
other product's service specialists as to their compatibility to the
M15 HD's IR features.
IR IN
• This input is connected to the output of an IR (infrared) repeater
(Xantech or similar) or the IR output of another compatible device
to allow control of the M15 HD from a remote location.
IR OUT 1, IR OUT 2
• Connect IR OUT 1 (and/or IR OUT 2) to the IR IN jack of a compatible
device.
• Command and control the linked compatible device by directing its
own remote control to M15 HD's infrared receiver.
IR IN and IR OUT 1, IR OUT 2, IR OUT 3
• Connect the M15 HD's IR IN to the IR OUT of a compatible device.
Connect also the M15 HD's IR OUT 1 (and/or IR OUT 2, IR OUT 3) to
the IR IN of a compatible device.
• With this setup, the M15 HD acts as an "IR-repeater" allowing the
device connected to the M15 HD' s IR IN control or command of the
other device linked to M15 HD's IR OUT 1 (and/or IR OUT 2, IR OUT 3).
IDENTIFICATION OF CONTROLS
IR OUT 3
• IR OUT 3 can only function as an "IR-repeater" as described above.
8 +12V TRIGGER OUT
The M15 HD has three +12V TRIGGER OUT ports (OUT 1, OUT2 and OUT3)
that can be configured to supply +12V DC to a linked component or
system. See discussion on "Trigger Setup" at the "Setup Menu" literature for
guidelines on how to configure +12V TRIGGER IN/OUT.
• Use a 3.5mm mini-jack connector to pass +12 volts at a maximum
current of 50 milliamps to an auxiliary equipment such as a
multichannel amplifier or subwoofer. The center conductor (hot) of
the 3.5mm jack is the control signal. The outside conductor (shield)
is the ground return-path.
• This output will be 12V when the M15 HD is ON and 0V when the
unit is either OFF or in standby mode.
+12V TRIGGER IN
With this input triggered by a 12V DC supply, the M15 HD 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 M15 HD 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.
9 MP DOCK
The M15 HD is equipped with a data port in the rear panel where
an optional NAD IPD (NAD IPD Dock for iPod) 1, NAD IPD 2 and later
variants can be plugged in.
• Connect the "MP DOCK (DATA PORT)" jack of the M15 HD to the
corresponding "DATA PORT" socket of the optional NAD IPD model.
• AUDIO 4 IN and S-VIDEO 4 IN are the assigned default ports for the
audio/video output of the separately sold NAD IPD (NAD IPD Dock
for iPod) 1, NAD IPD 2 and later variants.
• Refer also to the "LISTENING TO YOUR iPod PLAYER" segment of the
"OPERATION" section.
NOTE
The NAD IPD Dock for iPod is not supplied with your M15 HD.
10 COMPONENT VIDEO IN 1-3, COMPONENT VIDEO MONITOR OUT
• Connect the Component Video Input to Component Video output
of compatible source components, typically a DVD player, BD
player, digital cable box or other applicable components. Connect
Component Video Monitor Out to the Component Video input of a
compatible video monitor/TV.
• Be sure to observe consistency in connecting the Y/Pb/Pr jacks
to the corresponding sources/inputs. The routing of the three
component video input is fully configurable via the Source Setup
item of the Setup Menu OSD.
• The M15 HD's sets of component video input and output are fully
wideband and compatible with allowable HDTV formats.
11 MONITOR (S-VIDEO, VIDEO)
• Connect to the video input of a monitor/television using quality
dual-RCA and/or S-Video cables designed for video signals.
• In general, the S-Video connection is superior and should be used if
your TV/monitor provides the corresponding input.
