This product should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer’s instructions have been adhered to. 11 Power Sources - This product should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your product dealer or local power company.

• Main Power Disconnect; When the power switch is in the Off position, the SACD/CD-Player is not completely

disconnected from the main power. The primary method of isolating the SACD/CD-Player from the mains supply is to disconnect the mains plug. Ensure that the mains plug remains accessible at all times. When installing the product, ensure that the plug is easily accessible.

• Non-use Period; Unplug the AC power cord from the AC outlet if the unit will not be used for a long period

of time such as several months or more.

• CLASS 1 Products; The M5 shall be connected to a MAINS socket outlet with a protective earthing connection. 12 Power-Cord Protection - Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the product. 13 Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the product, be sure the antenna or cable 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 70, provides information with regard 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.

NOTE TO CATV SYSTEM INSTALLER

• This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s attention to Section 820-40 of the NEC which

provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.

14 Lightning - For added protection for this product during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the product due to lightning and power-line surges. 15 Power Lines - An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal. 16 Overloading - Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock. 17 Object and Liquid Entry - Never push objects of any kind into this product through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock.

NOTES

Connect the optical digital cable (not supplied) firmly so that the configurations of both the cable and the connector match. The +12V TRIGGER IN jack is a 3.5mm monotype miniature phone jack with the centre pin the +12V signal-sense. We recommend that you use a good quality cable with shield when attaching the 3.5mm monotype plug so as to prevent false triggering of the SACD/CD-player due to electromagnetic interference from nearby electronic equipment. The +12V-IN TRIGGER allows you to have an external +12V signal to turn ON the NAD M5 from standby. This +12V signal must be a continuous +12V signal in order to keep the M5 in the ON state. Once you remove the +12V signal the M5 will return to standby. Check the specifications of the trigger input terminal the other components to ensure these are compatible with the M5. All +12V-TRIGGER inputs and outputs on other NAD components with a +12V-TRIGGER feature are fully compatible with the NAD M5’s +12V-TRIGGER IN. Before making any connections to any +12V-TRIGGER IN make sure all components are disconnected from the AC mains. If in doubt over the connections, installation and/or operation of the +12V-TRIGGER IN connection, consult your NAD dealer or sales representative. Failure to observe the above may result in damage to the NAD M5 and/or any ancillary components attached to it. The IR IN jack is connected to the output of an IR (infrared) repeater (Xantech or similar), or the IR output of another component to allow control of the M5 from a remote location. Ask your dealer or custom installer for further details The AES/EBU DIGITAL OUTPUT is a professional standard digital output. The signal is available from the XLR/Cannon connector marked AES/EBU, permitting the ultimate in high quality digital transmission with the best associated equipment. The serial data output is taken after error correction but before digital-to-analog conversion and filtering. The output is transformer-isolated from the built-in D-to-A circuits. The BALANCED Right and Left Outputs connects to an integrated amplifier or preamplifier that uses balanced XLR input connectors, such as the NAD M3. The wiring standard used for these connectors is; Pin 1 Chassis Earth (GROUND), Pin 2 Hot (+ OUT), and Pin 3 Signal Ground (- OUT) The RS-232 connector is a standard DB-9 RS-232 configuration.Use an "off-the-shelf" DB-9 RS-232 serial cable to connect between your Windows®PC's DB-9 RS-232 connector and the M5's RS-232 connector. For multi-channel SACD surround sound, connect the 5.1 CHANNEL AUDIO OUT for 2-channel and multi-channel SACD media to your 5.1 surround sound preamplifier. For CD, MP3, and WMA PCM media connect the 2 CHANNEL AUDIO OUT to your stereo system. PCM media is only available on both Analog Audio OUT and DIGITAL OUT.
