Only qualified service personnel should make any such attempt. CAUTION - POWER LINES: ANY OUTDOOR ANTENNA MUST BE LOCATED AWAY FROM ALL POWER LINES. OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING If an outside antenna is connected to your tuner or tuner-preamplifier, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984, provides information with respect 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. (1) Use No. 10 AWG (5.3mm2 ) copper, No. 8 AWG (8.4mm2 ) aluminium, No. 17 AWG (1.0mm2 ) copper-clad steel or bronze wire, or larger, as a ground wire. (2) Secure antenna lead-in and ground wires to house with stand-off insulators spaced from 4-6 feet (1.22 ­ 1.83 m) apart. (3) Mount antenna discharge unit as close as possible to where lead-in enters house. (4) Use jumper wire not smaller than No.6 AWG (13.3mm2 ) copper, or the equivalent, when a separate antenna-grounding electrode is used. See NEC Section 810-21 (j).

VIDEO 1 (AUDIO) Inputs for the audio playback from a VCR or other video device such as a stereo TV, satellite or cable TV receiver or a Laser Disc. Using twin phono-tophono leads, connect to the left and right `Audio Out' of the VCR/TV/LD/satellite receiver to these inputs. These audio inputs are used in conjunction with the composite (line) video inputs marked VIDEO 1. VIDEO 1 is used for playback only, use VIDEO 2 if you want to connect a VCR for recording and playback through the AV 711. NOTES ON INSTALLATION. Your AV 711 should be placed on a firm, level surface. Avoid placing the unit in direct sunlight, near sources of heat and damp or in poorly ventilated positions. Switch the unit to off before making any connections. The phono connectors on your AV 711 are colour coded for convenience. Red and white are Right and Left audio, yellow is composite (line) video and NAD-Link. Use high quality leads and connectors for optimum performance and reliability of connection. Audio phono leads will function correctly for video signals, although it is recommended to use dedicated video leads where possible. Ensure that leads and connectors are not damaged in any way and all connectors are firmly pushed home. For best performance use quality speaker leads of at least 16 gauge thickness. If the unit is not going to be used for some time, disconnect the plug from the AC socket. Should water get into your AV 711, shut off the power to the unit and remove the plug from the AC socket. Have the unit inspected by a qualified service technician before attempting to use it again. Do not remove the cover, there are no user-serviceable parts inside. Use a dry soft cloth to clean the unit. If necessary, lightly dampen the cloth with soapy water. Do not use solutions containing benzol or other volatile agents. 6. VIDEO 2 (AUDIO) Connections for the audio recording and playback to a VCR or other video recorder. Using twin phonoto-phono leads, connect to the left and right `Audio Out' of the VCR to the VIDEO 2 IN connectors for playback. Connect the left and right `Audio In' of the VCR to the VIDEO 2 OUT connectors for recording. These audio inputs are used in conjunction with the composite (line) video inputs marked VIDEO 2 IN and the video outputs marked VIDEO 2 OUT. 7. SUB WOOFER OUT Additional line output for connection to a sub-bass speaker system with its own power amplifier. 8. AM ANTENNA An AM loop antenna is supplied with the AV 711 and is required for AM reception. Open the clip terminal lever and insert the wire from the antenna. Closing the lever will lock the wire in place (Fig. 2). If your AV 711is a U.S.A. or Canadian model, while pressing down the lever, insert the wire. Release the lever to lock the wire in place. Test various positions for the antenna, but always ensure the loop is placed vertically for best reception. Placing the antenna close to large metal items such as metal shelves or radiators may interfere with reception. REAR PANEL CONNECTIONS 1. CD INPUT Input for CD player (analogue audio signal) or other line-level signal source. Use a twin phono-to-phono lead to connect the CD player left and right `Audio Outputs' to this input. 9. FM ANTENNA A ribbon wire FM antenna is included and should be connected to the FM connector at the rear of the unit (Fig. 1). The ribbon aerial should be mounted on a vertical surface and placed so that it forms a `T'. Experiment with placement of the antenna to find the position that gives the best signal strength and lowest background noise. An inadequate FM signal normally results in high levels of hiss, especially in stereo, and interference from external electrical sources. In areas of poor FM reception, the tuner section's performance can be improved by using an externally mounted FM antenna. A qualified aerial installer will be able to advise and fit a recommended aerial for your reception conditions. 2 AUX INPUT Input for audio components.
