Quick Setup Guide
SAVE THE PACKAGING
Please save the box and all the packaging in which your C 316BEE arrived.
Should you move or otherwise need to transport your C 316BEE, 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!
CHOOSING A LOCATION
Choose a location that is well ventilated (with at least several inches to
both sides and behind), and that will provide a clear line of sight, within
23 feet/7 meters, between the C 316BEE’s front panel and your primary
listening/viewing position. This will ensure reliable infrared remote control
communications. The C 316BEE generates a modest amount of heat, but
nothing that should trouble adjacent components. It is perfectly possible to
stack the C 316BEE atop other components, but the reverse usually should
be avoided.
It is especially important that sufficient ventilation be provided. If you are
contemplating locating the C 316BEE within a cabinet or other furniture,
consult your NAD audio/video specialist for advice on providing adequate
airflow.
NOTES ON INSTALLATION
•
Place your C 316BEE 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 C 316BEE 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 C 316BEE, 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.
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 speaker wire.
