NOTES ON INSTALLATION.
Your NAD 319 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.
Switch the unit off before making any connections.
The RCA connectors on your NAD 319 are colour
coded for convenience. Red and white are Right and
Left audio respectively, and yellow for NAD-Link.
The NAD 319 comes with RCA leads for basic con-
nections. Where additional leads are required, use
high quality leads and connectors for optimum perfor-
mance and reliability. Ensure that leads and connec-
tors are not damaged in any way and all connectors
are firmly pushed home.
For best performance, use quality speaker leads of
16 gauge 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 319, 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-ser-
viceable parts inside.
Use a dry soft cloth to clean the unit. If necessary,
lightly dampened the cloth with soapy water. Do not
use solutions containing benzol or other volatile
agents.
REAR PANEL CONNECTIONS.
1. CD INPUT
Input for a CD or other line-level signal source. Use
a twin RCA-to-RCA lead to connect the CD player left
and right ‘Audio Outputs’ to this input. The NAD 319
only accepts analogue signals from your CD player.
2. VIDEO INPUT
Input for the audio signal from a stereo VCR (or
stereo TV/Satellite/Cable receiver) or other line-level
audio source. Using twin RCA-to-RCA leads, connect
to the left and right ‘Audio Out’ of the unit to these
inputs. Note: These are audio inputs only.
3. TUNER INPUT
Input for a Tuner or other line-level signal source.
Use a twin RCA-to-RCA lead to connect the Tuner
left and right ‘Audio Outputs’ to this input.
4. AUX INPUT
Input for additional line level input signals such as
another CD player. Use a twin RCA-to-RCA lead to
connect the auxiliary unit’s left and right ‘Audio
Outputs’ to this input.
5. TAPE 1 IN, OUT
Connections for analogue recording and playback
to an audio tape recorder of any type. Using twin
RCA-to-RCA leads, connect to the left and right
‘Audio Output’ of the tape machine to the TAPE 1 IN
connectors for playback and tape monitoring.
Connect the left and right ‘Audio Input’ of the tape
machine to the TAPE 1 OUT connectors for record-
ing.
6. TAPE 2 IN, OUT
Connections for analogue recording and playback
to a secondary audio tape recorder of any type. Using
twin RCA-to-RCA leads, connect to the left and right
‘Audio Output’ of the tape machine to the TAPE 2 IN
connectors for playback and tape monitoring.
Connect the left and right ‘Audio Input’ of the tape
machine to the TAPE 2 OUT connectors for record-
ing.
7. PRE OUT, MAIN IN
Connections to an external pre-amplifier, power
amplifier or processor, such as a surround-sound
decoder. In normal use these should be connected
together using the links supplied. To connect your
NAD 319 to external processor or amplifier sections
first remove these links. Use a twin RCA-to-RCA lead
to connect to the left and right ‘Audio Input’ of the
Power amp or processor to the Pre Out connectors.
Connect the left and right ‘Audio Output’ of the Pre-
amp or processor to the Main In connectors.
Note: The Pre-Out output signal will be affected by
the NAD 319’s volume and tone control settings.
8. NAD-LINK IN, OUT
The NAD-Link connector is used to pass com-
mands from the remote control handset to and from
other units fitted with NAD-Link connectors. This
allows centralised control of a complete system or
gives system control from more than one room. To
function with other units, connect the NAD 319’s
NAD-Link OUT to the NAD-Link IN on the other unit.
NAD-Link connectors can be daisy-chained, IN to
OUT, so that a whole system can be controlled from
the remote control facilities of one unit.
A single NAD-Link connection from a hi-fi system in
a second room will allow remote control of Multi
Room systems.
9. SPEAKERS
Speaker terminals for speakers with an impedance
of 4 ohms or more.
Connect the right speaker to the terminals marked
‘R +’ and ‘R-’ ensuring that the ‘R+’ is connected to
the ‘+’ terminal on your loudspeaker and the ‘R-’ is
