NAD C 268 User Manual

QUICK START
Refer to the supplied C 268 Quick Setup Guide for basic instructions
in setting up your new NAD C 268. The following guidelines must be
observed when setting up your C 268.
1 Before setting up or making connections, ensure that the C 268 and other
devices to be connected to C 268 are unplugged or powered down.
2 Connect your speakers to the LEFT and RIGHT speaker terminals.
Connect the speaker cables to the corresponding speaker terminal
connections (R +/-, L +/-) as reected in the C 268 rear panel. Bare wire
or loose strands from the speaker cables must not touch the rear panel
or other speaker terminals.
3 Connect the line output terminal of your external sources to the
BALANCED and/or SINGLE-ENDED ANALOG AUDIO INPUT ports using
applicable connectors.
IMPORTANT NOTES
• The blue terminals must never be connected to ground (earth).
• Never connect the blue terminals together or to any common ground
device.
• Do not connect the output of this amplier to any headphone adapter,
speaker switch or any device that uses common ground for left and
right channels.
4 Connect corresponding end of the mains power cord to the AC mains
input of C 268 and the plug connected to a mains power source.
WARNING
For optimal performance, the C 268 requires a grounded AC receptacle
or a separate earth ground. Ensure the proper grounding of your system.
5 Maintain default settings of the following control switches’
• LEFT and RIGHT SELECT towards BALANCED or SINGLE-ENDED
(both switches must be of the same setting)
• INPUT SELECT to FIX
• AUTO SENSE LEVEL to MID
6 Set the POWER switch at the rear panel to “ON” setting. The Standby
LED indicator will illuminate amber. Press front panel STANDBY button
to turn ON the C 268. The Standby LED indicator will turn from amber
to blue. Your C 268 is now powered up!
SAVE THE PACKAGING
Please save the box and all of the packaging in which your C 268 arrived.
Should you move or otherwise need to transport your C 268, this is by far
the safest container in which to do so. We’ve seen too many otherwise
perfect components damaged in transit for lack of a proper shipping
carton, so please: Save that box!
NOTES ON INSTALLATION
• Place your NAD C 268 on a rm, level surface.
• Avoid placing the unit in direct sunlight or near sources of heat and
damp.
• Do not place the unit on a soft surface like a carpet.
• Do not place the C 268 in an enclosed position such as a bookcase
or cabinet that may impede the air-ow through the ventilation slots.
Allow adequate ventilation.

• The RCA sockets on your C 268 are color 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 rmly pushed home.
• Should water get into your C 268, shut o the power to the unit and
remove the plug from the AC socket. Have the unit inspected by a
qualied service technician before attempting to use it again.

cloth with soapy water. Do not use solutions containing benzol or other
volatile agents.
