REPLACEMENT WITH UNAUTHORIZED PARTS MAY RESULT IN FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR OTHER HAZARDS. If an outside antenna is connected to your tuner or tuner-preamplifier, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984, provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes and requirements for the grounding electrode. a. Use No. 10 AWG (5.3mm2) copper, No. 8 AWG (8.4mm2) aluminium, No. 17 AWG (1.0mm2) copper-clad steel or bronze wire, or larger, as a ground wire. b. Secure antenna lead-in and ground wires to house with stand-off insulators spaced from 4-6 feet (1.22 - 1.83 m) apart. c. Mount antenna discharge unit as close as possible to where lead-in enters house. d. Use jumper wire not smaller than No.6 AWG (13.3mm2) copper, or the equivalent, when a separate antenna-grounding electrode is used. see NEC Section 810-21 (j). EXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDING AS PER NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE INSTRUCTIONS CONTAINED IN ARTICLE 810 - RADIO AND TELEVISION EQUIPMENT. NOTE TO CATV SYSTEM INSTALLER: This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer's attention to Article 820-22 of the National Electrical Code that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the ground cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.

Connect the left and right `Audio Input' of the tape machine to the TAPE 1 OUT connectors for recording. NOTES ON INSTALLATION. Your NAD 319 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. Switch the unit off before making any connections. The RCA connectors on your NAD 319 are colour coded for convenience. Red and white are Right and Left audio respectively, and yellow for NAD-Link. The NAD 319 comes with RCA leads for basic connections. Where additional leads are required, use high quality leads and connectors for optimum performance and reliability. Ensure that leads and connectors are not damaged in any way and all connectors are firmly pushed home. For best performance, use quality speaker leads of 16 gauge thickness or more. If the unit is not going to be used for some time, disconnect the plug from the AC socket. Should water get into your NAD 319, shut off the power to the unit and remove the plug from the AC socket. Have the unit inspected by a qualified service technician before attempting to use it again. Do not remove the cover, there are no user-serviceable parts inside. Use a dry soft cloth to clean the unit. If necessary, lightly dampened the cloth with soapy water. Do not use solutions containing benzol or other volatile agents. 6. TAPE 2 IN, OUT Connections for analogue recording and playback to a secondary 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 connectors for playback and tape monitoring. Connect the left and right `Audio Input' of the tape machine to the TAPE 2 OUT connectors for recording. 7. PRE OUT, MAIN IN Connections to an external pre-amplifier, power amplifier or processor, such as a surround-sound decoder. In normal use these should be connected together using the links supplied. To connect your NAD 319 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 connectors. Connect the left and right `Audio Output' of the Preamp or processor to the Main In connectors. Note: The Pre-Out output signal will be affected by the NAD 319's volume and tone control settings. 8. NAD-LINK IN, OUT REAR PANEL CONNECTIONS. 1. CD INPUT Input for a CD or other line-level signal source. Use a twin RCA-to-RCA lead to connect the CD player left and right `Audio Outputs' to this input. The NAD 319 only accepts analogue signals from your CD player. 2. VIDEO INPUT Input for the audio signal from a stereo VCR (or stereo TV/Satellite/Cable receiver) or other line-level audio source. Using twin RCA-to-RCA leads, connect to the left and right `Audio Out' of the unit to these inputs. Note: These are audio inputs only. The NAD-Link connector is used to pass commands from the remote control handset to and from other units fitted with NAD-Link connectors. This allows centralised control of a complete system or gives system control from more than one room. To function with other units, connect the NAD 319's NAD-Link OUT to the NAD-Link IN on the other unit. NAD-Link connectors can be daisy-chained, IN to OUT, so that a whole system can be controlled from the remote control facilities of one unit. A single NAD-Link connection from a hi-fi system in a second room will allow remote control of Multi Room systems. 9. SPEAKERS Speaker terminals for speakers with an impedance of 4 ohms or more. Connect the right speaker to the terminals marked `R +' and `R-' ensuring that the `R+' is connected to the `+' terminal on your loudspeaker and the `R-' is 3. 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. NAD 4 GB connected to the loudspeaker's `-' terminal. Connect the terminals marked `L+' and `L-' to the left speaker in the same way. Always use heavy duty (16 gauge or thicker) stranded wire to connect loudspeakers to your NAD 319. The high-current binding post terminals can be used as a screw terminal for cables terminating in spade or pin connectors or for cables with bare wire ends. SPADE CONNECTORS These should be slotted under the terminal's screw bushing, which is then fully tightened. Ensure the connector is tightly secured and there is no danger of bare metal from spade connectors touching the back panel or another connector, as this may cause damage. BARE WIRES AND PIN CONNECTORS Bare wires and pin connectors 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. Avoid any danger of bare metal from the speaker cables touching the back panel or another connector. Ensure that there is only 1/2" (1cm) of bare cable or pin and no loose strands of speaker wire. So speakers with very low impedances (under 4 ) are not recommended as they may cause the amplifier's thermal cut-out to operate if played at high levels. The Bridge LED on the front panel will illuminate when the amplifier is in Bridge mode. 12. AC LINE CORD. After you complete all connections to the preamplifier, plug the AC line cord into a "live" AC socket. 13.
