INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
CONNECT THE TURNTABLE TO THE PP 3i
1Please make sure all ancillary equipment is turned off and that the NAD PP 3i is not yet connected to its dedicated Power Supply.
2Connect the leads from the turntable to the appropriate input sockets on the back of the NAD PP 3i - MC for moving coil, MM for moving magnet cartridge. Make sure you connect the Right channel to the Right input; the Left channel to the Left input. Normally, red connector denotes the Right Channel; white denotes the Left channel.
3Once the turntable leads are connected, set the MC/MM switch on the back of the NAD PP 3i to the correct input setting.
CONNECT THE PP 3i TO AN AMPLIFIER OR RECEIVER
1Connect suitable RCA leads from the NAD PP 3i to the amplifier or receiver. Always use a so-called “Line-Level” input such as CD, AUX, Tuner or Tape. Never connect the lead from the NAD PP 3i to an input marked Phono or turntable.
2Again, make sure to connect the red plug to the Right channel, and the white plug to the Left channel of the amplifier or receiver.
3If the lead from your turntable is equipped with a separate earth (GND) lead, connect this directly to a ground connection on the NAD PP 3i. Use the thumb screw terminal “GND” which provides the grounding.
CONNECT THE POWER SUPPLY TO THE PP 3i
1Connect the dedicated Plug-in Power Supply to the NAD PP 3i (marked 24V).
2Insert the Plug-in Power Supply to a live mains socket; the blue LED on the NAD PP 3i’s front panel will light up. Installation is now complete.
As the power consumption of the NAD PP 3i is negligible, it can always be left switched on. It is recommended however that you disconnect the Plugin Power Supply from the mains if you are not going to use the NAD PP 3i for a prolonged period of time (such as a holiday).
CONNECT THE PP 3i TO A PERSONAL COMPUTER
1Connect the supplied USB cable (or any approved USB cable) between the USB socket of the PP 3i and the USB socket of your PC. Your PC should automatically recognize the PP 3i as a “new device” - the amber LED of the PP 3i will illuminate confirming the connection.
2Place the supplied “Vinyl Studio” CD in your PC’s disc drive and follow the instructions to load the program into your PC.
3Open the program and follow the instructions to get started recording your LP’s to your PC’s Hard Disc Drive or other digital device.
