NAD C 368 Owner's Manual - page 8
MDC CLASSIC UPGRADE SLOTS
The delivery format of digital content is constantly changing in pure digital
systems like the C 368. Each of these formats typically requires specialized
hardware and software, often with licensed IP and content copy protection.
To address continuous technological evolution, NAD has placed all digital
interface circuitry of the C 368 on easily upgradable modules, called
Modular Design Construction (MDC). The C 368 has provision for two slots
where MDC upgrade modules can be installed.
The following optional MDC modules can be integrated with the C 368 -
the DD HDM-1, the DD AP-1 and the MDC BluOS modules. Remove covers
to install the optional Modular Design Construction (MDC) modules.
Consult with your NAD dealer on how to procure the DD HDM-1, the DD
AP-1 and MDC BluOS modules and their installations to the C 368.
DD HDM-1 (DIRECT DIGITAL HDMI)
The DD HDM-1 offers three HDMI input terminals and one HDMI output
with video pass through. With DD HDM-1 installed, the C 368 can be the
heart of a “Video 2.0” system using the mandatory 2 channel linear PCM
soundtrack from Blu-ray or DVD to make a compelling high definition
theater presentation. DD HDM-1 is fully 3D video compatible without
surround sound decoding or video processing.
A HDMI OUT: Connect the HDMI Monitor
OUT to a HDTV or projector with HDMI
input.
B HDMI 1 -3: Connect to the HDMI OUT
connectors of source components such
as DVD player, BD player or HDTV satellite/
cable box.
WARNING!
Before connecting and disconnecting any HDMI cables, both the C 368
and the source must be powered OFF and unplugged from the AC
outlet. Failure to do so may cause permanent damage to equipment
connected via HDMI sockets.
DD AP-1 (DIRECT DIGITAL ANALOG-PHONO)
DD AP-1 uses high quality Analog-to-Digital conversion to make analog
sources compatible with C 368’s pure digital circuitry. The PHONO circuit
has impedance settings for Moving Magnet (MM) and Moving Coil (MC)
with gain automatically set.
The DD AP-1 consists of the following line level input terminals – PHONO,
SINGLE-ENDED (ANALOG) and BALANCED.
A PHONO: Input for either a MM or MC
phono cartridge. Connect the twin
RCA lead from your turntable to this
input.
B SE IN (SINGLE-ENDED): Use a twin
RCA-to-RCA lead to connect these
sockets to the left and right analog
output of a CD player, preamplifier or
processor.
C PHONO GROUND CONNECTOR:
Turntables normally include a single
wire earth lead. Use the C 368 phono
ground connector to connect this lead. Unscrew the terminal and
insert the ground wire into the hole. Tighten the terminal to secure
the lead.
D BALANCED: Connect XLR audio sources to these connectors.
Ensure that proper pin configurations are followed – Pin 1: Ground,
Pin 2: Positive (signal live) and Pin 3: Negative (signal return).
MDC BluOS
BluOS is a music management software developed by NAD’s sister brand,
Bluesound. Integrating MDC BluOS will add BluOS network and internet
music streaming with advanced music management to your C 368.
Refer to the “MDC DD BluOS Mounting Instructions” and” Configuring DD
BluOS” (included with your MDC BluOS package) on how to install and
integrate the MDC BluOS with the C 368.
