INTRODUCTIONGETTING STARTEDUNPACKING AND SETUPWHAT’S IN THE BOXPacked 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.SAVE THE PACKAGINGPlease 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 farthe safest container in which to do so. We’ve seen too many otherwiseperfect components damaged in transit for lack of a proper shippingcarton, so please: Save that box!CHOOSING A LOCATIONChoose a location that is well ventilated (with at least several inches to bothsides and behind), and that will provide a clear line of sight, within 23 feet/7meters, between the C 715’s front panel and your primary listening/viewingposition. This will ensure reliable infrared remote control communications.The C 715 generates a modest amount of heat, but nothing that shouldtrouble adjacent components. It is perfectly possible to stack the C 715 ontop of other components.QUICK STARTIn case you simply cannot wait to experience the performance of your newNAD C 715 CD Receiver, we provide the following “Quick Start” instructionsto 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 componentswhile making or breaking any signal or AC power connections.PLAY A CD• 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 panelwill be illuminated amber indicating the C 715 is in standby mode readyto accept commands from either the front panel power switch or theSR 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. Press for the disctray to draw open.• Insert the media and press the button to start playback.DEALING WITH HUM AND NOISEhum and noise sometimes may prove a challenge in audio systems. Notethese considerations to help prevent hum and noise problems:• Power all your system's audio component from AC outlets originatingfrom the same circuit of your house wiring. As far as possible, powerall audio components from the same outlet, or adjacent outlets on thesame circuit. It may be useful to power video displays (and computers!)from outlets on another circuit, especially if that circuit is supplied fromthe other "leg" of the house wiring.• Do not bundle analog audio cables with AC power cables, or withcoaxial digital-audio cables. It is best if they cross at right angles if theymust be in close proximity.• Employ high-quality, well-shielded audio cable throughout, and ensurethat all connections are secure.• A pencil-eraser can be used to burnish copper- and gold-platedcontacts to ensure good, low-resistance contact; specialized contact-cleaners can also be useful. Avoid unnecessary unplugging andre-plugging since the gold (or copper) contact plating of typical cableconnectors, even very high-quality ones, is very thin and easily worn.Track down hum/noise problems one component at a time, workingbackwards from the C 715. That is1 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 checkfor hum.At each stage, if hum/noise appears, examine the audio cabling and AC-power routing of the new component. In some cases, moving the newcomponent's AC cord to a different outlet, or installing a ground-lift (3-to-2-prong adapter) on its power cord, will eliminate the hum.FACTORY DEFAULT SETTINGSSometimes power spikes and drop-outs may from time to time cause someinadvertent functionality.
