1  SPEAKERS

The VISO THREE is designed to produce optimum sound quality when 
connected to speakers with impedances within its operating range. 
Please make sure that all the speakers are rated 8 ohms minimum per 
speaker.

• 

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 connected to the loudspeaker’s “-” 
terminal. Connect the terminals marked “L+” and “L-” to the left 
speaker in the same way. Use extra care to ensure that no stray wires 
or strands cross between posts or terminals at either end.

NOTE

 

Use stranded wire of at least 16 gauge (AWG). Connections to the VISO 
THREE can be made with banana-type plugs, or using bare wire or pins, by 
loosening the terminal’s plastic nut, making a clean, neat connection, and 
re-tightening carefully. To minimize the danger of short circuit, ensure that 
only 1/2-inch of exposed wire or pin is employed when connecting.

2  FM ANTENNA TERMINAL

• 

Connect the supplied lead-type FM antenna to the FM antenna 
input. Extend the lead. Experiment freely with your antenna 
placement and orientation until you get the clearest sound and 
lowest background noise. 

• 

Fix the antenna in the desired position by using thumb tacks, push 
pins or any suitable means.

3  AM ANTENNA TERMINAL 

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

· 

Open the clip terminal lever; insert the wire making sure to match 
the color-coded (white and black) ends of the wire to that of the 
terminal and close the lever ensuring that the lever locks the wire in 
place. 

• 

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 will 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.

4  AUDIO 1, AUDIO 2

• 

Input for additional line level input signal such as another CD player 
or other line level audio sources.

• 

Use a twin RCA-to-RCA lead to connect these sockets to the source 
device’s left and right analog output.

5  MP

• 

Input for a Media Player or other line level audio input signal. 

• 

Use a twin RCA-to-RCA lead to connect these sockets to the source 
device’s left and right analog output. 

• 

MP is the default port connection of the audio output of the 
separately sold NAD IPD (NAD IPD Dock for iPod) 1, NAD IPD 2 or 
later variant; with NAD IPD’s DATA PORT correspondingly connected 
also to VISO THREE’s rear panel MP DOCK DATA PORT.

NOTE

 

The “NAD IPD 2 Dock for iPod” (NAD IPD 2) model is supplied with your 
VISO THREE. 

6  SUBW (SUBWOOFER) PRE OUT 

Connect this output to a powered (active) subwoofer or to a power 
amplifier channel driving a passive system.
