Introduction
This manual includes statutory safety warnings and generic
installation information. Please read this manual before
installing or using your Naim or Naimnet product.
Installation and operational instructions can be found in the
Reference Manual in electronic form on the CD included with
the product, or via download from www.naimaudio.com.
1 Connections
It is important for both safety and performance that any
standard cables supplied are not modified.
1.1 Analogue Audio Interconnect Cables
If options are available with your equipment and installation,
DIN interconnect sockets should be used in preference to
Phono sockets. One end of each Naim audio interconnect
cable is marked with a band to establish its correct orientation.
The band denotes the end that connects to the signal source.
Naim Hi Line interconnect cable will provide the best results.
Audio 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.
2 Mains Power
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 coloured
GREEN-AND-YELLOW
must be connected to
the terminal in the plug marked by the letter
E
or by the safety
earth symbol or coloured
GREEN
or
GREEN
and
YELLOW
.
The wire coloured
BLUE
must be connected to the terminal in
the plug marked with the letter
N
or coloured
BLACK
.
The wire coloured
BROWN
must be connected to the terminal in
the plug marked with the letter
L
or coloured
RED
.
2.2 Equipment Fuses
Mains powered Naim Audio equipment is fitted with a mains
fuse on the rear panel adjacent to the mains input socket.
Replace it if necessary only with the spare fuse supplied or with
an identical fuse. Repeated failure of the fuse points to a fault
that should be investigated by your retailer or Naim Audio.
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.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
In order to comply with current European safety regulations
it is essential that the Naim loudspeaker connectors
supplied with amplifiers and loudspeakers are used.
Do not under any circumstances allow anyone to modify
your Naim equipment without first checking with the
factory, your retailer, or your distributor. Unauthorised
modifications will invalidate your guarantee.
Equipment must not be exposed to dripping or splashing
and no objects filled with liquid, such as vases, should be
placed on the equipment.
For your own safety do not under any circumstances open
Naim equipment without first disconnecting it from the
mains.
Warning: an apparatus with CLASS I construction shall
be connected to a mains socket outlet with a protective
earthing connection.
Where the mains plug or an appliance coupler is used as
the disconnect device, the disconnect device shall remain
readily operable. To disconnect the equipment from the
mains remove the mains plug from the mains outlet.
The following label is attached to all mains powered
equipment:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply
with the relevant EMC and Safety Standards, and, where
applicable, also complies with the limits for a class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation.
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio
frequency and, if not installed and used in accordance
with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to
radio communications. However, there is no guarantee
that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If
this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning
off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and the
receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit
different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult your Naim retailer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for help.
