THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING NAD  
The C 715 DAb CD Receiver is a technologically advanced and highly  
capable product-yet we have invested great effort in making it simple  
and easy to use. The C 715 delivers a range of genuinely useful options  
for stereo listening using powerful digital signal processing and superbly  
accurate digital-audio circuitry. however, we have also been careful to  
ensure that the C 715 is as musically transparent and spatially accurate  
as possible, incorporating much of what we’ve learned from a quarter-  
century’s experience designing audio and home-theatre components. As  
with all our products, NAD’sMusic Firstdesign philosophy guided the  
C 715’s design, such that it can confidently promise you both state-of-the-  
art and audiophile-quality music listening for years to come.  
We encourage you to take a few minutes now to read right through this  
manual. Investing a little time here at the outset might save you a good  
deal of time later, and is by far the best way to ensure that you make the  
most of your investment in the C 715.  
one more thing: We urge you to register your C 715 ownership on the NAD  
Worldwide Web site:

INTRODUCTION  
GETTING STARTED  
UNPACKING AND SETUP  
WHAT’S IN THE BOX  
DEALING WITH HUM AND NOISE  
hum and noise sometimes may prove a challenge in audio systems. Note  
these considerations to help prevent hum and noise problems:  
Packed with your C 715 you will find:  
Power all your system's audio component from AC outlets originating  
from the same circuit of your house wiring. As far as possible, power  
all audio components from the same outlet, or adjacent outlets on the  
same circuit. It may be useful to power video displays (and computers!)  
from outlets on another circuit, especially if that circuit is supplied from  
the other "leg" of the house wiring.  
An AM loop antenna.  
A FM lead-type antenna.  
A F-type DAb antenna.  
The SR 7 remote control with 2 (two) AAA batteries.  
This owner’s manual.  
Do not bundle analog audio cables with AC power cables, or with  
coaxial digital-audio cables. It is best if they cross at right angles if they  
must be in close proximity.  
SAVE THE PACKAGING  
Please save the box and all of the packaging in which your C 715 arrived.  
Should you move or otherwise need to transport your C 715, 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!  
Employ high-quality, well-shielded audio cable throughout, and ensure  
that all connections are secure.  
A pencil-eraser can be used to burnish copper- and gold-plated  
contacts to ensure good, low-resistance contact; specialized contact-  
cleaners can also be useful. Avoid unnecessary unplugging and  
re-plugging since the gold (or copper) contact plating of typical cable  
connectors, even very high-quality ones, is very thin and easily worn.  
CHOOSING A LOCATION  
Choose a location that is well ventilated (with at least several inches to both  
sides and behind), and that will provide a clear line of sight, within 23 feet/7  
meters, between the C 715’s front panel and your primary listening/viewing  
position. This will ensure reliable infrared remote control communications.  
The C 715 generates a modest amount of heat, but nothing that should  
trouble adjacent components. It is perfectly possible to stack the C 715 on  
top of other components.  
Track down hum/noise problems one component at a time, working  
backwards from the C 715. That is  
1
2
Connect the speakers to the C 715 only, and check for hum.  
Then connect one component only (a CD player, for example) alone,  
with no other components connected and check for hum.  
Connect additional components, one at a time, to the C 715 and check  
for hum.  
3
QUICK START  
In case you simply cannot wait to experience the performance of your new  
NAD C 715 CD Receiver, we provide the followingQuick Startinstructions  
to get you underway.  
At each stage, if hum/noise appears, examine the audio cabling and AC-  
power routing of the new component. In some cases, moving the new  
component's AC cord to a different outlet, or installing a ground-lift (3-to-2-  
prong adapter) on its power cord, will eliminate the hum.  
Please make all the connections to your C 715 with the unit unplugged.  
It is also advisable to power-down or unplug all associated components  
while making or breaking any signal or AC power connections.  
FACTORY DEFAULT SETTINGS  
Sometimes power spikes and drop-outs may from time to time cause some  
inadvertent functionality. The procedure below will set the C 715 to factory  
default settings  
PLAY A CD  
Connect your left and right front speakers to the C 715’slandR”  
outputs. Make sure to connect red to red (“+”) and black to black (“-”)  
with care to avoid stray wires or strands crossing between terminals.

will be illuminated amber indicating the C 715 is in standby mode ready  
to accept commands from either the front panel power switch or the  
SR 7 remote.  
Please note that setting the C 715 to factory default will delete all AM, FM  
and DAb presets.

ATTENTION!  
Please make sure that the C 715 is powered off or unplugged before making any connections. It is also advisable to power down or unplug all associated  
components while making or breaking any signal or AC power connections.  
1
SPEAKERS: Connect the left and right terminals to the corresponding  
loudspeakers. Make sure that the “+(red) terminal and-(black)  
terminal are connected to the corresponding+and-terminals of the  
loudspeaker. Use extra care to ensure that no stray wires or strands cross  
between posts or terminals at either end.

TAPE IN/OUT: Connections for analog recording and playback to an  
audio tape recorder of any type. Using twin RCA-to-RCA leads, connect  
the left and rightAudio outputof the tape machine to the C 715’s  
TAPE IN sockets for playback and tape monitoring. Connect the left and  
rightAudio Inputof the tape machine to C 715’s TAPE oUT sockets for  
recording.  
NOTES  
Use stranded wire of at least 16-gauge (AWG); specialized speaker cable  
NOTE  
There will be no output at TAPE OUT when TAPE is selected. Likewise,  
may be valuable (consult your NAD audio specialist). Connections to the  
C 715 can be made with banana-type plugs, or using bare wire, or pins,  
by loosening the terminal’s plastic nut, making a clean, neat connection,  
and re-tightening carefully. To minimize the danger of short-circuits,  
ensure that only 1/2-inch of exposed wire or pin is employed in  
connecting.  
This unit is designed to produce optimum sound quality when  
connected to speakers with impedances within the receiver’s operating  
range. Please check that speakers are rated to be 6 ohms minimum per  
speaker.  
there will be no output at VIDEO OUT when VCR is the active source  
input. This prevents feedback through the recording component thereby  
preventing possible damage to your speakers.

VCR IN/OUT: VCR may be used with recording components such  
as a cassette deck. Connect analog stereo audio from such source  
components into the C715’s VCR IN. Connect the C 715’s VCR oUT to  
the source componentsrecord-input. Note that VCR may freely be used  
for play-only components, in which case the oUT jacks would remain  
unconnected.  
2
FM / AM / DAB ANTENNA INPUT: Connect the supplied lead-type  
FM antenna to the FM antenna input. Extend the lead. Experiment freely  
with your antenna placement and orientation until you get the clearest  
sound and lowest background noise. Fix the antenna in the desired  
position by using thumb tacks, push pins or any suitable means.  
AUX IN: Input for additional line level input such as another CD player.  
Use a twin RCA-to-RCA lead to connect the auxiliary unit’s left and right  
“Audio outputto this input.

8
SUBWOOFER OUT: Connect this output to a powered (“active”)  
subwoofer (or to a power amplifier channel driving a passive system).  
The AM loop antenna supplied with the C 715 (or a suitable  
replacement) is required for AM reception. open the clip terminal  
lever; insert the wire making sure to match the color-coded (white  
and black) ends of the wire to that of the terminal and close the  
lever ensuring that the lever locks the wire in place. Testing different  
positions for the antenna may improve reception; vertical orientation  
will usually produce the best results. Antenna proximity to large metal  
objects (appliances, radiators) may impair reception, as will attempts to  
lengthen the wire to the loop.  
AC LINE CORD: Plug the AC power cord into a live AC wall socket.  
Make sure all connections have been made before connecting to mains.  
Connect the supplied F-type DAb antenna to the DAb antenna input.

AUTO TUNE  
Until now, analogue radio signals such as FM or AM have been subject to  
numerous kinds of interference on their way from the transmitter to your  
radio. These problems were caused by mountains, high-rise buildings  
and weather conditions. With Digital Audio broadcast (DAb), you can now  
receive CD-like quality radio programs without any annoying interference  
and signal distortion. you get far more robust reception and virtually hiss  
or crackle free sound with DAb as long as you are within a good coverage  
area.  
For quick scanning of available broadcast services, you can scan new  
channels automatically by pressing SR 7’s [AUTo TUNE] key.  
Press and hold [AUTo TUNE] for more than 2 seconds to activate
