1 Connections
It is important for both safety and performance that
the standard cables supplied are not modified.
1.1 Interconnect Cables
If options are available with your equipment and installation,
DIN interconnect sockets should be used in preference to RCA
Phono sockets. One end of each Naim interconnect cable is
marked with a band to establish its correct orientation. The
band denotes the end that connects to the signal source.
Interconnect plugs and sockets should be kept clean and free
from corrosion. The easiest way to clean them is to switch off
the equipment, pull the plugs out of their sockets, and push
them back in again. Contact cleaners and “enhancers” should
not be used as the film they deposit may degrade the sound.
1.2 Loudspeaker Cables
Although any high quality loudspeaker cable is suitable, we
recommend that Naim loudspeaker cable is used. Naim
loudspeaker cable is directional and should be oriented so
that the printed arrow points towards the speakers. The
loudspeaker connectors supplied are designed to comply with
European safety legislation and must be used.
Contact your local retailer or distributor for further advice on
loudspeaker cables and connectors.
2 Mains Power Connection
Where fused plugs are used 13 amp fuses should
be fitted. Fuses of a lower rating will fail after
a period of use. Do not wire voltage dependent
resistors or noise suppressors into mains plugs.
They degrade the mains supply and the sound.
2.1 Mains Plug Wiring
In some territories a mains plug may need to be fitted to the
supplied mains lead. As the colours of the wires in the mains
lead may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying
the terminals in the plug proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured
GREEN-AND-YELLOW
must be
connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked by the
letter
E
or by the safety earth symbol or coloured
GREEN
or
GREEN
and
YELLOW
.

Naim Audio products are conceived with performance as the top priority.
Careful installation will help ensure that their full potential is achieved.
This manual covers the n-Vi all-in-one home theatre system. It begins
with some general installation notes and statutory safety warnings.
More product specific information begins in Section 4.
The wire which is coloured
BLUE
must be connected to the
terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter
N
or
coloured
BLACK
.
The wire which is coloured
BROWN
must be connected to
the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter
L
or
coloured
RED
.
2.2 Equipment Fuses
Mains powered Naim Audio equipment is fitted with a mains
input fuse on the rear panel adjacent to the mains input
socket. Replace it if necessary only with the spare fuse
supplied or with identical fuses. Repeated failure of this
fuse points to an equipment or system fault that should be
investigated by your retailer or at the factory by Naim itself.
2.3 Non-rewirable Mains Plugs
If a non-rewirable plug is cut from a mains lead (for whatever
purpose) the plug MUST be disposed of in a way to render it
totally useless. Considerable shock hazard exists if the cut-off
plug is inserted into a mains outlet.
2.4 Mains Circuits and Cables
A hi-fi system usually shares a mains circuit with other
household equipment some of which can cause distortion of
the mains waveform. A separate mains circuit (ideally with a
30 or 45 Amp rating) may reduce such distortion and improve
system performance. Advice on the installation of a separate
mains circuit should be sought from a qualified electrician.
Do not substitute alternative mains leads and plugs to
those supplied. They are selected to offer the best possible
performance.
