FRONT PANEL CONTROLS 1. Standby Button: The Standby Button turns on and to standby the C325BEE. This button will only function when the Power/Standby/Protection LED is either amber representing the standby state, or green representing the on-state. NOTE The remote control handset supplied with the C325BEE is of a universal NAD type, designed to operate several NAD models. Some buttons on this handset are inoperative, as the functions aren’t supported by the C325BEE.

NOTE Make certain that the volume control is turned to minimum (fully anti-clockwise) before connecting or disconnecting headphones.

Listening at high levels can damage your hearing. 4 Infra-red remote control command receiver - The infrared sensor, located behind this circular window, receives commands from the remote control. There must be a clear line-of-sight path from the remote control to this window; if that path is obstructed, the remote control may not work. NOTE Direct sunlight or very bright ambient lighting may affect the operating range and angle for the remote control handset. 5 Input selectors These buttons select the active input to the NAD C325BEE and the signal sent to the loudspeakers, the Tape outputs and the PRE OUT sockets. The buttons on the remote control handset duplicate these buttons, with the exception of the tuner input; see below. Green LEDs just above each button will indicate which input is currently selected. DISC/MP (Media Player) Selects a line-level source connected to the DISC sockets as the active input. When a 3.5mm stereo plug is inserted into the MP socket, the indicator beside the socket will illuminate, and the DISC line-level source will be disconnected. CD Selects the CD (or other line-level source) connected to the CD sockets as the active input. VIDEO Selects the VCR (or stereo TV/Satellite/Cable receiver) connected to the VIDEO sockets as the active input. AUX Selects a line-level source connected to the AUX sockets as the active input. TUNER Selects the tuner (or other line-level source) connected to the Tuner sockets as the active input. The remote control handset has separate buttons for AM and FM; pressing either one will select the C325BEE’s tuner input. TAPE 2 Selects Tape 2 as the active input. TAPE 1 Monitor Selects the output from a tape recorder when playing back tapes or monitoring recordings being made through the Tape 1 sockets. Press the Tape 1 button once to select it and again to return to the normal input selection.

3 Headphone socket - A 1/4” stereo jack socket is supplied for headphone listening and will work with conventional headphones of any impedance. Inserting a headphone jack into this socket automatically switches off the loudspeakers. The volume, tone and balance controls are operative for headphone listening. Use a suitable adaptor to connect headphones with other types of sockets, such as 3.5mm stereo ‘personal stereo’ jack plugs.

DEUTSCH For best performance, use quality speaker leads of 16 gauge (1.5mm) thickness or more. If the unit is not going to be used for some time, disconnect the plug from the AC socket.

NEDERLANDS The RCA sockets on your NAD C325BEE are colour coded for convenience. Red and white are Right and Left audio respectively.

Use high quality leads and sockets for optimum performance and reliability. Ensure that leads and sockets are not damaged in any way and all sockets are firmly pushed home.

2 Power/Standby/Protection LED - Upon switching the power on, the LED will light up red for a few seconds before the protection circuit is deactivated. The LED will then turn green, representing normal operation. In cases of serious abuse of the amplifier, such as overheating, excessively low loudspeaker impedance, short circuit etc. the amplifier will engage its Protection circuitry, indicated by the

LED turning from green to red, and the sound being muted. In such a case, turn the amplifier off by the rear panel POWER button, wait for it to cool down and/or check the speaker connections, making sure the overall loudspeaker impedance doesn’t go below 4 ohms. Once the cause for the protection circuitry to engage has been removed, switch ON the rear POWER button and then the Standby Button to resume normal operation.

ESPAÑOL NOTES ON INSTALLATION Your NAD C325BEE should be placed on a firm, level surface. Avoid placing the unit in direct sunlight or near sources of heat and damp.

Allow adequate ventilation. Do not place the unit on a soft surface like a carpet. Do not place it in an enclosed position such a bookcase or cabinet that may impede the air-flow through the ventilation slots. Make sure the unit is switched off before making any connections.

SVENSKA TAPE 1 is a tape Monitor function which does not override the current input selection. For example, if the CD is the active input when

TAPE 1 is selected, then the CD signal will continue to be selected and sent to both the TAPE 2, and TAPE 1 OUTPUT sockets, but it is the sound from recorder connected to Tape 1 that will be heard on the loudspeakers. Apart from the amber LED to indicate Tape 1 is engaged, the green LED for the active input will also stay lit.

FRANÇAIS NOTE The remote control handset with the C325BEE supplied is of a universal NAD type, designed to operate several NAD models. Some buttons on this handset are inoperative as the functions aren’t supported by the C325BEE. The Video 2 and Video 3 input selector buttons on the remote control handset are inoperative in the case of the C325BEE.

6 Soft clipping indicator - The green Soft Clipping LED shows that the Soft Clipping mode is engaged. Refer also to “Rear Panel Connections, Section 12 Soft Clipping” for more information.

Using twin RCA-to-RCA leads, connect to the left and right ‘Audio Outputs’ of the unit to these inputs. Note: These are audio inputs only. 5 AUX input - Input for additional line level input signals such as another CD player. Use a twin RCA-to-RCA lead to connect the auxiliary unit’s left and right ‘Audio Outputs’ to this input. 6 Tuner input - Input for a tuner or other line-level signal source. Use a twin RCA-to-RCA lead to connect the tuner left and right ‘Audio Outputs’ to this input. 7 Tape 2 In/Out - Connections for analogue recording and playback to an audio tape recorder of any type. Using twin RCA-to-RCA leads, connect to the left and right ‘Audio Output’ of the tape machine to the TAPE 2 IN sockets for playback and tape monitoring. Connect the left and right ‘Audio Input’ of the tape machine to the TAPE 2 OUT sockets for recording.

9 Balance - The BALANCE control adjusts the relative levels of the left and right speakers. The 12 o’clock position provides equal level to the left and right channels. A detent indicates this position.

Rotating the control clockwise moves the balance towards the right. Rotating the control anti-clockwise moves the balance to the left. The BALANCE control does not affect recordings made using the Tape outputs but will affect the signal going to the Pre-amp output (Pre Out).

8 Tape 1 In/Out - Connections for analogue recording and playback to an audio tape recorder of any type. Using twin RCA-to-RCA leads, connect to the left and right ‘Audio Output’ of the tape machine to the TAPE 1 IN sockets for playback and tape monitoring. Connect the left and right ‘Audio Input’ of the tape machine to the TAPE 1 OUT sockets for recording.

10 Volume - The VOLUME control adjusts the overall loudness of the signals being fed to the loudspeakers. It is motor driven and can be adjusted from the remote control handset. The VOLUME control does not affect recordings made using the Tape outputs but will affect the signal going to the Pre-amp output (Pre Out).

9 Pre out - Connections to an external power amplifier or processor, such as a surround-sound decoder. In normal use these should be connected to the Main-In sockets (No. 10) with the links supplied. To connect your NAD C325BEE to external processor or amplifier sections first remove these links. Use a twin RCA-to-RCA lead to connect to the left and right ‘Audio Input’ of the Power amp or processor to the Pre Out sockets.

SVENSKA On the remote control handset, press the MUTE button to temporarily switch off the sound to the speakers and headphones.

Mute mode is indicated by the active input LED flashing. Press the MUTE button again to restore sound. Mute does not affect recordings made using the Tape outputs but will affect the signal going to the Pre-amp output (Pre Out).

BARE WIRES AND PIN CONNECTORS Bare wires and pin sockets should be inserted into the hole in the shaft of the terminal.

Unscrew the speaker terminal’s plastic bushing until the hole in the screw shaft is revealed. Insert the pin or bare cable end into the hole and secure the cable by tightening down the terminal’s bushing. Ensure bare wire from the speaker cables does not touch the back panel or another socket. Ensure that there is only 1/2” (1cm) of bare cable or pin and no loose strands of speakers wire.

1 POWER ON & OFF - The NAD C325BEE remote has a separate On and

Off button. This can be particularly useful to keep components within a system "insync": This way all components will switch to stand-by when Off is pressed or switch to operating mode when On is pressed, instead of some components switching On when the amplifier is switched to Stand-by. (Note that the other components have to be capable of responding to the separate On and Off commands as well). Press the ON button to switch the unit from Stand-by to the operating mode; The Stand-by indicator (Fig. 2; No. 2) will turn from amber, to red, then to green. Press the OFF button to switch the unit to the Stand-by mode: The Stand-by indicator will light up amber.

12 Soft Clipping™ - When an amplifier is driven beyond its specified power output, a hard, distorted sound can be heard on very loud sounds. This is caused by the amplifier cutting off or ‘hard clipping’ the peaks of sound that was not designed to reproduce. The NAD Soft Clipping circuit gently limits the output of the system to minimise audible distortion if the amplifier is overdriven.

If your listening involves moderate power levels you may leave the Soft Clipping switch to Off. If you are likely to play at high levels, that could stretch the amplifier’s power capability, then switch Soft Clipping On. The Soft Clipping™ LED on the front panel will illuminate when the amplifier is in Soft Clipping mode.

2 INPUTS - The input selector buttons perform the same functions as the buttons labelled the same on the front panel.

13 AC line cord - Plug the AC power cord into a live AC wall socket. Make sure all connections have been made before connecting to mains.

3 Numeric Keys - The numeric keys allow for direct input of tracks for

CD-players, and direct channel/preset access for the tuner.

14 12V trigger output - The 12V TRIGGER OUTPUT is used for controlling external equipment that is equipped with a 12V trigger input. This output will be

12V when the C325BEE is on and 0V when the unit is either off or in standby. This output can drive a load up to 100ma at 12V.

4 MASTER VOLUME - Press the MASTER VOLUME or buttons to respectively increase or decrease the loudness level.

Release the button when the desired level is reached. The motorised Volume Control on the front panel will indicate the level set. The Master Volume buttons do not affect recordings made using the Tape outputs but will affect the signal going to the Pre-amp outputs.

15 POWER Switch: The POWER switch supplies the master AC mains power for the C325BEE. When this switch is in the ON position the C325BEE is in standby as shown by the amber Status Condition L.E.D. above the power switch on the front panel. If you intend not to use the amplifier for long periods of time, switch the POWER switch to the OFF position.
