12. BALANCED OUTPUTS
Connections to an external power amplifier or
processor that uses balanced XLR connectors.
These actively driven XLR outputs are suitable to
drive most balanced hi-fi and professional amplifiers.
The wiring standard used for these connectors is:
Pin 1 Chassis Earth (Ground)
Pin 2 Hot (Live )
Pin 3 Signal Ground (Return)
13. NAD-LINK IN, OUT
The NAD-Link connector is used to pass com-
mands from the remote control to and from other
units fitted with NAD-Link connectors. This allows
centralised control of a complete system or gives sys-
tem control from more than one room. To function
with other units, connect the NAD 116'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.
14. AC POWER CORD
After you complete all connections to the preampli-
fier, plug the AC line cord into a "live" AC socket.
FRONT PANEL CONTROLS.
POWER AND HEADPHONE FUNCTIONS.
1. POWER
Pressing the POWER switch turns the unit On and
after a few seconds the Power indicator LED will illu-
minate green. Pressing the POWER switch again will
turn the amplifier Off.
When the NAD 116 is switched On, pressing the
Standby button on the remote handset will put the
NAD 116 into Standby mode and the Power indicator
will turn amber. The amber Standby indicator shows
that power is being supplied to the NAD 116, but the
system is currently in the Standby Mode.
CAUTION: When in Standby, power is still supplied
to your NAD 116. You should switch it off using the
front panel Power switch when it is not being used for
long periods of time.
2. 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 loudspeak-
ers. The volume and tone and balance controls are
operative for headphone listening. Use a suitable
adapter to connect headphones with other types of
connectors, such as 3.5mm stereo 'personal stereo'
jack plugs.
WARNING: Make certain that the volume control is
turned to minimum (fully anti-clockwise) before con-
necting headphones.
Listening at high levels can damage your hearing.
INPUT SELECTORS.
3. INPUT SELECTORS
These buttons select the active input to the NAD
116 and the signal sent to the amplifier, the Tape out-
puts and the PRE OUT sockets.
LED's inside each button will indicate which input is
currently selected.
TUNER: Selects the tuner (or other line-level
source) connected to the Tuner sockets as the active
input.
AUX: Selects a line-level source connected to the
AUX sockets as the active input.
VIDEO: Selects the VCR (or
TV/Satellite/Cable receiver) connected to the VCR
sockets as the active input.
CD: Selects the CD (or other line-level source) con-
nected to the CD sockets,as the active input.
PHONO: Selects the turntable Phono cartridge
connected to either the MM or MC sockets as the
active input.
TAPE FUNCTIONS.
4. TAPE 1
Selects the output from a tape recorder when play-
ing 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.
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 1, and TAPE 2 OUTPUT sock-
ets, but it is the sound from recorder connected to
Tape 1 that will be heard on the loudspeakers.
To show which Input is active in when in Tape
Monitor mode, its indicator light will stay lit.
TAPE 2: Selects Tape 2 as the active input.
TO MAKE A RECORDING
When any source is selected, its signal is also fed
directly to any tape machine connected to the TAPE
1 or TAPE 2 OUTPUTS for recording.
TAPE TO TAPE COPYING
You can copy between two tape machines connect-
ed to your NAD 116. Put the source tape in the
recorder connected to Tape 2 and the blank tape into
the recorder connected to Tape 1. By selecting TAPE
2 Input you can now record from Tape 2 to Tape 1
and monitor the signal coming from the original tape.
Also you can use Tape 1 as the source and copy to
Tape 2 but Tape 1 monitor input has to be selected
for the duration of the recording.
CAUTION: WHEN TAPE 2 IS SELECTED, ONLY
ONE TAPE MACHINE SHOULD BE SET IN
