OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING If an outside antenna is connected to your tuner or tunerpreamplifier, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 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 leadin 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 820-40 of the National Electrica l 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.

Use a dry soft cloth to clean the unit. If necessary, lightly dampen the cloth with soapy water. Do not use solutions containing benzyl or other volatile agents. 2 AM Antenna - An AM loop antenna is supplied with the NAD C 422 and is required for AM reception. To connect the AM antenna, first press the keys on the Antenna terminals downwards. Insert the bare antenna wires into the two terminal holes and push the connector keys upwards again to secure the connection (see fig 2). Test various positions for the antenna but always ensure the loop is placed vertically for best reception. Placing the antenna close to large metal items such as metal shelves or radiators may interfere with reception. 6 AC Line cord - Plug the AC power cord into a live AC wall socket or to an AC convenience outlet at the rear of your amplifier. SVENSKA 5 PORTUGUÊS REAR PANEL CONNECTIONS 1 FM Antenna - A ribbon wire FM antenna is included and should be connected to the FM connector at the rear of the unit using the supplied "balun" adapter (see fig 1). The ribbon aerial should be mounted on a vertical surface and placed so that it forms a "T". Experiment with placement of the antenna to find the position that gives the best signal strength and lowest background noise. An inadequate FM signal normally results in high levels of hiss, especially in stereo, and interference from external electrical sources. In areas of poor FM reception, the tuner section's performance can be improved by using an externally mounted FM antenna. A qualified aerial installer will be able to advise and fit a recommended aerial for your reception conditions. NOTE The C 422's 12V Trigger will work within a range of 6 to 15 V DC level and typically draws less than 10mA of current. Check the specifications of the Trigger output terminal on the remote component to ensure it is compatible with the C 422's 12Vtrigger input. NAD components equipped with 12V output triggers are fully compatible with the C 422's 12V input trigger. Before making any connections to any 12V trigger input or output, make sure all components are disconnected from the AC mains. Failure to observe the above may result in damage to the C 422 or any ancillary components attached to it. If in doubt over the connections, installation and operation of the 12V trigger output consult your NAD dealer. ITALIANO ESPAÑOL Plug in the AC power cord. Connect C 422's output to amplifier. Connect AM and FM antenna. Press the POWER button (No. 1) to turn on the NAD C 422. Press the AM/FM button (No. 6) to select AM or FM reception. Press Preset/Tune button so that "PRESET" isn't lit in display; the tuner is now in Tune mode. 7 Use TUNE/PRESET or to select a station. 1 2 3 4 5 6 5 12V Trigger in - This input allows the C 422 to be switched remotely to Stand-by and On by ancillary equipment such as an amplifier or preamp, AV processor, etc. which are also equipped with a 12V trigger output. For switching Stand-by/Power On of the C 422 by an external component, connect the12V-trigger input of the C 422 to the remote component's DC output jack. The plug required is a standard 3.5mm Mini-Jack plug ("mono"): The tip is the live or + connection, the shaft of the input jack is the 12V-trigger ­ or ground connection. NEDERLANDS QUICK START Use the RCA-to-RCA lead to connect the NAD C 422 left & right outputs to the Tuner Input of your amplifier. NOTE The NAD C 422 has a built-in receiver for commands from a remote control and doesn't need to rely on IR IN to be remotely operated. It is advisable not to connect IR IN if the other units that have their own built-in remote control command receiver and are positioned together, in direct view from the remote control handset. If you are unsure, try operating the products without IR IN first; if the unit responds to the remote control command, it will not be necessary to connect IR IN. DEUTSCH FRANÇAIS 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 C 422, 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. 4 IR in - The IR IN connector is used to pass commands from other units fitted with IR OUT connectors. This allows centralized control of a complete system, and also allows some of the basic functions of other NAD components (such as a CD player or cassette-deck) also equipped with IR IN to be controlled with an NAD system remote control. To function with such other units, connect the C 422's IR IN to the IR OUT on the other unit. IR IN connectors can be daisychained, IN to OUT, so that a whole system can be controlled from the remote control facilities of one unit.
