4 7.1 CH INPUT:
Connect to the corresponding analog audio outputs
of a multichannel source component such as a DVD-Audio or
multichannel-SACD player or external multichannel decoder (disc copy
protected formats only allow analog signal transfer). Typically, these
sources will produce 5.1-channel output, in which case the Surround
Back jacks are left unconnected. The signals present at these jacks may
be heard by selecting Source 7 (External 7.1 audio input is defaulted to
this Source).
There is no bass-management or other processing (other than master-
volume control) available to this 7.1 channel input. While the multi-
channel audio output of a BD player or DVD player can be connected
to these jacks, using the M15 HD’s own Dolby Digital and DTS decoding
and digital-analog converters via a digital connection will usually
produce superior results.
5 AUDIO PRE-OUT:
Connect FRONT L, FRONT R, CENTER, SURR R, SURR
L, SURR-BL and SURR-BR to the corresponding channel input of a power
amplifier or amplifiers driving the applicable speakers.
Unlike the full range channels, there is no power amplifier built-into
the M15 HD for a subwoofer. Connect the SUBW 1 or SUBW 2 output or
both to powered (“active”) subwoofers or to power amplifier channels
driving a passive system.
6 RS-232:
Connect this interface via RS-232 serial cable (not supplied) to
any Windows® compatible PC to allow remote control of the M15 HD
through NAD’s proprietary PC software or other compatible external
controllers. Please log on to www.nadelectronics.com/software for the
latest PC interface control software. NAD is a certified partner of AMX
and Crestron and fully supports these external devices. See your NAD
audio specialist for more information.
7 IR IN/OUT:
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.
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 M15 HD from a remote location.
IR OUT 1, IR OUT 2, IR OUT 3, IR OUT 4:
IR OUT 1, IR OUT 2, IR OUT 3
and IR OUT 4 have dual-features – they can act as an infrared command
repeater or as stand alone IR OUT. As a stand alone IR OUT, connect
IR OUT 1 (or IR OUT 2-4) to the IR IN of an ancillary equipment. Direct
the ancillary equipment’s own remote control to the M15 HD’s infrared
receiver to command or control the linked unit.
Connect the M15 HD’s IR IN to the IR OUT of an ancillary equipment.
Connect also the M15 HD’s IR OUT 1, IR OUT 2, IR OUT 3 or IR OUT 4 to
another equipment with IR IN feature. With this setup, the M15 HD acts
as an “IR-repeater” allowing the equipment connected to the M15 HD’s
IR IN control or command of the other equipment linked to the M15
HD’s IR OUT 1, IR OUT 2, IR OUT 3 or IR OUT 4.
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.
8 +12V TRIGGER IN (OFF/AUTO):
When at AUTO position, the M15 HD
selects the 12V Trigger Input 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.
+12V TRIGGER OUT:
There are three config12V TRIGGER
OUTPUT. Use a 3.5mm mini-jack connector to pass +12 volts at a
maximum current of 50 milliamps to 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.
+12V TRIGGER IN accepts 12V Trigger output of compatible
components such as power controllers and home automation devices.
See discussion on “Trigger Setup” at the “Setup Menu” literature for
guidelines on how to configure TRIGGER IN/OUT.
WARNING
If Auto Trigger IN at Trigger Setup menu is assigned to “Main” or “All”
and the TRIGGER 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 handing this function
to an external controller. Switch TRIGGER to “OFF” to maintain normal
power ON/OFF function procedures.
9 MP DOCK:
The M15 HD is equipped with a data port in the rear panel
where an optional NAD IPD 1 (NAD IPD 1 Dock for iPod), 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. Refer also to the section about LISTENING TO
YOUR iPod PLAYER under the OPERATION main heading.
NOTE
The external “NAD IPD Dock for iPod” (NAD IPD) model is not supplied
with your M15 HD.
10 COMPONENT VIDEO 1-3 IN, COMPONENT VIDEO OUT:
Connect
the Component Video IN 1-3 input to the Component Video output
of compatible source components, typically a DVD/BD player and
terrestrial or satellite HDTV tuner. Connect Component Video 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 source/input. The routing of the component video input
is fully configurable via the Setup Menu. The M15 HD’s 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.
12 DIGITAL AUDIO IN (OPTICAL 1-4, COAXIAL 1-4):
Connect to the
optical or coaxial S/PDIF-format digital output of sources such as CD
or DVD/BD players, HDTV or satellite tuners and other components.
Coaxial and Optical digital input association is configurable via the
Setup Menu.
