NAD PP-1 Owners manual

• P lease make sure all ancillary equipment is turned off, and that the NAD PP 1 is not yet connected to its dedicated Power Supply.

INSTALLATION & OPERATION OF NAD PP 1

• Connect the leads from the turntable to the input sockets on the back of the NAD PP 1. Make sure you connect the Right channel to the Right input; the Left channel to the Left input; Normally, a Red connector

denotes the Right Channel; White or Black denotes the Left channel.

• Connect a suitable lead from the NAD PP 1 to the amplifier or receiver. Always use a so-called 'Line-Lever input, such as CD, AIDE, Tuner or Tape. Never connect the lead from the NAD PP 1 to an input marked

Phono or turntable. Again, make sure to connect the Red plug to the Right channel, and the White plug to the Left channel of the amplifier or receiver.

• If the lead from your turntable is equipped with a separate earth lead, connect this directly to a ground connection on the amplifier or receiver. Usually, the metal back panel of an amplifier provides grounding

by means of a small terminal. If this is not available, you can connect the earth cable directly to the back panel, by means of placing the wire under a screw in direct contact with the metal of the back panel;

for instance, the screw holding the lop cover to the back panel. Almost all receivers provide a ground terminal with the antenna input; this terminal is usually marked 'GND' or with the symbol “---|---“. If an

antenna is connected, you can simply add the wire to this terminal.

• Connect the dedicated Plug-in Power Supply to the NAD PP 1 (marked 15V).

• Insert the Plug-in Power Supply to a live mains socket; the green LED on the NAD PP 1's front panel will light up.

• Installation is now complete. As the power consumption of the NAD PP-I is negligible, it can always be left switched on. It is recommended however that you disconnect the Plug-in Power supply from the

mains if you are not going to use the NAD PP 1 for a prolonged pe riod of time (such as a holiday).

Pr blem o

• (LED is not lit) Power Supply not connected to either NAD PP 1 or mains socket

• (LED is lit) Wrong input on amplifier / receiver selected

• Plugs from turntable and / or lead from PP 1 to amplifier / receiver sockets

not property fitted

• Plugs from turntable and / or lead from PP 1 to amplifier / receiver sockets

not properly fitted

Cause

• Plug in dedicated Power Supply

• Select input to which NAD PP 1 is connected

• Check all connections (make sure to turn off all equipment beforehand)

Solution

To play a record:

• Ensure that the volume on the amplifier or receiver is set to a low level.

• Select the input on the amplifier or receiver to which the NAD PP 1 is connected, use amplifier or receiver and turntable as normal, set to desired volume level.

Troubleshooting:

Always turn down the volume to a low level or turn off all equipment before checking.

• No sound

• Sound in one channel only

• Hum or Buzz noise
