The C 390DD requires a grounded AC receptacle or a separate earth 
ground. Use this terminal to properly ground your C 390DD. The 
C 390DD can be connected to ground by connecting a ground lead 
wire or similar to this ground terminal. After insertion, tighten the 
terminal to secure the lead.

NOTES

•  The above illustration shows the C 390DD being connected to ground 

via a metal water pipe. There maybe other grounding conductor points 
in your home. Consult with a licensed electrician to properly locate 
or correctly install a grounding conductor in your home. NAD is not 
responsible for any malfunction, damage or costs associated with the 
installation, connection or grounding of your C 390DD. 

•  The grounding wire is not supplied with your C 390DD.

7  +12V TRIGGER OUT

The +12V TRIGGER OUT is used for controlling external equipment that 
is equipped with a +12V trigger input. 

• 

Connect this +12V TRIGGER OUT to the other equipment’s 
corresp12V DC input jack using a mono cable with 3.5mm 
male plug. 

• 

This output will be 12V when the C 390DD 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 C 390DD 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 C 390DD will return to standby mode.

• 

Connect this +12V Trigger input to the remote device’s 
corresp12V 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. 

8  IR IN

This input is connected to the output of an IR (infrared) repeater 
(Xantech or similar) or the IR output of another component to allow 
control of the C 390DD from a remote location.

9  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 
C 390DD via compatible external controllers. 

• 

Refer to the NAD website for information about RS232 Protocol 
documents and PC interface program.

10  PRE OUT/SUBW (1,2)

• 

These output terminals have dual function. They are used either as 
PRE OUT or SUBWOOFER terminals. 

• 

These terminals are enabled or disabled via the Pre Out/Subwoofer 
sub-menu of the SETUP menu. 

• 

Refer also to the item about PRE OUT/SUBWOOFER at the USING 
THE C 390DD section of the OPERATION page.

11  AC MAINS INPUT

The C 390DD comes supplied with a separate detachable mains power 
cord. Before connecting the plug to the mains power source, ensure 
that it is firmly connected to the C 390DD’s AC Mains input socket first. 

• 

Always disconnect the mains power plug from the mains power 
source first, before disconnecting the cable from the C 390DD’s AC 
Mains input socket.

12 POWER

• 

Supply the AC mains power to the C 390DD. 

• 

When the POWER switch is set to ON position, the C 390DD goes 
to standby mode as shown by the amber status condition of the 
Standby LED. Press the front panel Standby button or AVR 4 remote 
control’s [ON] button to switch ON the C 390DD from standby 
mode.

• 

If you intend not to use the C 390DD for long periods of time (such 
as when on vacation), switch off the POWER switch.

• 

With POWER switched off, neither the front panel Standby button 
nor AVR 4 remote control’s [ON] button can activate the C 390DD.
