1 STANDBY BUTTON: The Standby Button turns ON and set to standby
the C 355BEE. This button will only function when the Power/Standby/
Protection LED is either amber representing the standby state, or green
representing the ON state.
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 the Standby Button to
resume normal operation.
3 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.

4 SOFT CLIPPING INDICATOR: The green Soft Clipping LED shows that
the Soft Clipping mode is engaged. Refer also to "IDENTIFICATION OF
CONTROLS - REAR PANEL, item 14 Soft Clipping" for more information.
5 TONE DEFEAT: The TONE DEFEAT switch bypasses the tone control
section of the NAD C 355BEE. If the Tone Controls are not normally
used and left in the 12 o'clock position, then it is advisable to switch
out the Tone Control section altogether by using this switch. In the 'out'
position, the Tone Control circuits are active; pushing the TONE DEFEAT
switch 'in' bypasses the Tone Control section.
6 HEADPHONE SOCKET: A 1/4" stereo jack socket is supplied for
headphone listening and will work with conventional headphones
of any impedance. The headphone socket will work in parallel to the
selected speakers. To listen to headphones only, de-select Speakers
A and/or B. The volume, tone and balance controls are operative for
headphone listening. Use a suitable adapter to connect headphones
with other types of sockets, such as 3.5mm stereo 'personal stereo' jack
plugs.
WARNING
Make certain that the volume control is turned to minimum (fully
counter-clockwise) before connecting or disconnecting headphones.
Listening at high levels can damage your hearing.
7 A SPEAKERS B: The Speakers A and B buttons engage or disengage
the speakers connected respectively to the Speakers A and Speakers B
terminals on the rear panel. Press "A" to switch ON or OFF the speakers
connected to the speaker A terminals. Press B to switch ON or OFF the
speakers connected to the speaker B terminals. The indicator directly
over the buttons shows the status of Speakers A and B.
