The C 715 delivers a range of genuinely useful options for stereo listening using powerful digital signal processing and superbly accurate digital-audio circuitry. however, we have also been careful to ensure that the C 715 is as musically transparent and spatially accurate as possible, incorporating much of what we've learned from a quartercentury's experience designing audio and home-theatre components. As with all our products, NAD's "Music First" design philosophy guided the C 715's design, such that it can confidently promise you both state-of-theart and audiophile-quality music listening for years to come. We encourage you to take a few minutes now to read right through this manual. Investing a little time here at the outset might save you a good deal of time later, and is by far the best way to ensure that you make the most of your investment in the C 715. one more thing: We urge you to register your C 715 ownership on the NAD Worldwide Web site: SVENSKA NEDERLANDS DEUTSCH ITALIANO ESPAÑOL FRANÇAIS ENGLISH INTRODUCTION GETTINGSTARTED ENGLISH FRANÇAIS ESPAÑOL ITALIANO DEUTSCH NEDERLANDS SVENSKA UNPACKING AND SETUP WHAT'SINTHEBOX Packed with your C 715 you will find: · An AM loop antenna. · A FM lead-type antenna. · A F-type DAb antenna. · The SR 7 remote control with 2 (two) AAA batteries. · This owner's manual. SAVETHEPACKAGING Please save the box and all of the packaging in which your C 715 arrived. Should you move or otherwise need to transport your C 715, this is by far the safest container in which to do so. We've seen too many otherwise perfect components damaged in transit for lack of a proper shipping carton, so please: Save that box! CHOOSINGALOCATION Choose a location that is well ventilated (with at least several inches to both sides and behind), and that will provide a clear line of sight, within 23 feet/7 meters, between the C 715's front panel and your primary listening/viewing position. This will ensure reliable infrared remote control communications. The C 715 generates a modest amount of heat, but nothing that should trouble adjacent components. It is perfectly possible to stack the C 715 on top of other components. DEALING WITH HUM AND NOISE hum and noise sometimes may prove a challenge in audio systems. Note these considerations to help prevent hum and noise problems: · Power all your system's audio component from AC outlets originating from the same circuit of your house wiring. As far as possible, power all audio components from the same outlet, or adjacent outlets on the same circuit. It may be useful to power video displays (and computers!) from outlets on another circuit, especially if that circuit is supplied from the other "leg" of the house wiring. · Do not bundle analog audio cables with AC power cables, or with coaxial digital-audio cables. It is best if they cross at right angles if they must be in close proximity. · Employ high-quality, well-shielded audio cable throughout, and ensure that all connections are secure. · A pencil-eraser can be used to burnish copper- and gold-plated contacts to ensure good, low-resistance contact; specialized contactcleaners can also be useful. Avoid unnecessary unplugging and re-plugging since the gold (or copper) contact plating of typical cable connectors, even very high-quality ones, is very thin and easily worn. Track down hum/noise problems one component at a time, working backwards from the C 715. That is 1 Connect the speakers to the C 715 only, and check for hum. 2 Then connect one component only (a CD player, for example) alone, with no other components connected and check for hum. 3 Connect additional components, one at a time, to the C 715 and check for hum. At each stage, if hum/noise appears, examine the audio cabling and ACpower routing of the new component. In some cases, moving the new component's AC cord to a different outlet, or installing a ground-lift (3-to-2prong adapter) on its power cord, will eliminate the hum. QUICK START In case you simply cannot wait to experience the performance of your new NAD C 715 CD Receiver, we provide the following "Quick Start" instructions to get you underway. Please make all the connections to your C 715 with the unit unplugged. It is also advisable to power-down or unplug all associated components while making or breaking any signal or AC power connections. PLAYACD · Connect your left and right front speakers to the C 715's "l" and "R" outputs. Make sure to connect red to red ("+") and black to black ("-") with care to avoid stray wires or strands crossing between terminals. If your system includes a powered subwoofer, connect the C 715's "SUbWooFER oUT" jack to its line input. · Plug the AC mains plug into the AC outlet; the lED on the front panel will be illuminated amber indicating the C 715 is in standby mode ready to accept commands from either the front panel power switch or the SR 7 remote. · To start CD playback, toggle [SoURCE] button in the front panel until "CD" mode or press directly SR 7's [CD] source key.
