1  FM ANTENNA TERMINAL

 

Connect the supplied wire “dipole” FM antenna to the FM antenna 
terminal using the supplied “balun” adapter. It will usually work best 
when mounted on a vertical surface such as a wall, with arms fully 
outstretched forming a horizontal “T” perpendicular to the origin 
point of the signal.

AM ANTENNA TERMINAL 

The AM loop antenna supplied with the C 446 (or a suitable 
replacement) is required for AM reception. 

 

Connect the supplied AM loop antenna to these terminals. If an 
external AM antenna is used, make connections to the AM and GND 
terminals in accordance with the instructions supplied with the 
antenna. 

 

Testing different positions for the antenna may improve reception; 
vertical orientation will usually produce the best results. Antenna 
proximity to large metal objects (appliances, radiators) may impair 
reception, as well as attempts to lengthen the wire to the loop. 

 

Refer also to the item about ASSEMBLING THE LOOP ANTENNA at 
the LISTENING TO AM/FM RADIO section of the OPERATION page.

2  DAB ANTENNA TERMINAL (230V version model only)

 

Install the supplied DAB antenna into this DAB terminal.

 

With DAB, you can receive CD-like quality programs without any 
annoying interference and signal distortion.

 

Refer also to the “LISTENING TO DAB RADIO” segment of the 
“OPERATION” section.

3  AUDIO OUT

Connect to the corresponding analog audio input of an amplifier, 
receiver or stereo system.

4  DIGITAL OUT

Using an optical cable (TOSLINK connector), connect DIGITAL OUT to 
the corresponding digital audio input of receivers or digital processors.

5  LOCAL AREA NETWORK (LAN) PORT 

 

LAN connection must be setup for Wired connection to be 
established. Set up a Wired Ethernet broadband router with 
broadband internet connection.

 

Using a standard straight-through Ethernet cable (not supplied), 
connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the LAN port of your wired 
Ethernet broadband router and the other end to C 446’s LAN port.

NOTES

 

NAD is not responsible for any malfunction of the C 446 and/or the 
internet connection due to communication errors or malfunctions 
associated with your broadband internet connection or other connected 
equipment. Contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP) for assistance or 
the service bureau of your other equipment.

 

Contact your ISP for policies, charges, content restrictions, service

6  WIRELESS (WIFI) ANTENNA TERMINAL 

 

Install the supplied wireless antenna into this wireless antenna 
terminal (WiFi).

 

Wireless (WiFi) broadband router with broadband internet 
connection is required for wireless connection to be established.

7  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 446 
via compatible external controllers. 

8  MP DOCK

The C 446 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 C 446 to the 
corresponding “DATA PORT” socket of the optional NAD IPD model. 

 

Connection between the C 446 and NAD IPD is only via their 
respective DATA PORT. NAD IPD audio and S-Video port connections 
should be directed to the external device’s corresponding input 
ports (assigned for NAD IPD).

NOTE

The NAD IPD Dock for iPod is not supplied with your C 446.
