Quick Setup Guide

SAVE THE PACKAGING

Please save the box and the packaging that came with your C 3050. Should 
you move or need to transport your C 3050, this is the safest container 
to use. We’ve seen too many otherwise perfect components damaged in 
transit for lack of a proper shipping carton. So please, save that box!

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 3050’s front panel and your primary 
listening/viewing position. This will ensure reliable infrared remote control 
communications. The C 3050 generates a modest amount of heat, but 
nothing that should trouble adjacent components. It is perfectly possible 
to stack the C 3050 atop other components, but the reverse usually should 
be avoided. 

It is especially important that sufficient ventilation be provided. If you 
are contemplating placing the C 3050 within a cabinet or other furniture, 
consult your NAD audio/video specialist for advice on providing adequate 
airflow.

NOTES ON INSTALLATION
• 

Place your C 3050 on a firm, level surface.

• 

Avoid placing the unit in direct sunlight or near sources of heat and damp.

• 

Do not place the unit on a soft surface like a carpet. 

• 

Allow adequate ventilation.

• 

Make sure the unit is switched off before making any connections.

• 

Use high quality leads and sockets for optimum performance and reliability.

• 

Ensure that leads and sockets are not damaged in any way and all 
sockets are firmly pushed home.

• 

Should water get into your C 3050, 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. 

• 

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.

DO NOT REMOVE THE COVER. THERE ARE NO USER-SERVICEABLE 
PARTS INSIDE.

BARE WIRES AND PIN CONNECTORS

WARNING:

 The terminals marked with this symbol are hazardous 

live.  External wiring connected to these terminals requires 
installation by an instructed person or the use of ready-made leads 
or cords.

Bare wires and pin sockets should be inserted into the hole in the shaft 
of the terminal. Unscrew the speaker terminal’s plastic bushing until the 
hole in the screw shaft is revealed. Insert the pin or bare cable end into 
the hole and secure the cable by tightening down the terminal’s bushing. 
Ensure bare wire from the speaker cables does not touch the back panel or 
another socket. Ensure that there is only 1/2” (1cm) of bare cable or pin and 
no loose strands of speaker wire.

FACTORY RESET

Factory reset is recommended if your C 3050 is malfunctioning or has 
hanged up.

C 3050 can be factory reset or restored to factory default settings using the 
following method.

With the C 3050 at operating mode, switch OFF the rear panel POWER 
switch.

Press and hold the front panel POWER button and while doing so, 
switch ON the rear panel POWER switch.  Do not release hold of the 
POWER button.

Hold down the POWER button for more than 30 seconds or until the VU 
meter illuminates twice (white with yellow background). This indicates 
that the factory reset is initiated.  Release hold of POWER button.

The front panel Power LED indicator will turn off and then cycle to solid 
amber.  C 3050 factory reset is completed when the front panel Power 
LED indicator turns solid amber and the VU meter not illuminated or 
turned off.

IMPORTANT

 

Releasing the front panel POWER button at any time before the VU 
meter illuminates twice will cancel the factory reset and leave the

 

C 3050 Upgrade Mode. Just start again the procedure for Factory Reset.
