On: Network connection is maintained at standby mode. Off: Network connection is disconnected at standby mode. CEC POWER HDMI CONTROL (CEC) Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) is a set of commands that utilizes HDMIs two- way communication to allow for single remote control of any CEC-enabled devices connected with HDMI. A CEC command will trigger the necessary commands over HDMI for an entire system to auto-configure itself to respond to the command. CEC Power Off: C 399 cannot be powered up or sent to standby mode by a CEC-enabled device. CEC Power On: CEC-enabled device can power ON/OFF the C 399. HDMI ENHANCED AUDIO RETURN CHANNEL (eARC) Enhanced Audio Return Channel (eARC) is an advancement over the previous Audio Return Channel (ARC). eARC simplifies connectivity and provides greater ease of use for multiple components discovery and audio optimization. eARC enables the audio to a TV that originates from cable, satellite, streaming or source devices to be sent to C 399 through a single HDMI cable. This ensures the simplicity of connectivity and that the original audio can be experienced. HDMI eARC works with HDMI High Speed Cables with Ethernet and the new Ultra High Speed HDMI Cable. eARC is the default mode for C 399 and will fallback to ARC if no eARC connection happens. IMPORTANT!
Ensure that the audio setting/format of eARC/ARC-connected devices to C399 is set to PCM only. Only audio output signal from a connected TV is supported by C399s HDMI eARC port. 14 The C 399 has the capability to operate via Alternate IR channel. This is useful if you have two NAD products that can be operated by similar remote control commands. With alternate IR Channel, two different NAD products can be controlled independently in the same zone by setting each one to a different IR channel. IR Channel Assignment The C 399 and the SR 9 remote control must be set to the same channel. To change the IR Channel on the C 399 While at IR Channel menu, use [a/s] to select through Channel 0 to Channel7. Stop at the preferred IR Channel setting and press [d] to complete the selection. C 399 IR Channel is defaulted to Channel 0. To change the IR Channel on the SR 9 remote control Include a channel number before the library code. For SR 9, library code 10 is the default library table for AMP device. To select this AMP library table for Channel 0, retain the library code 10 (or 010). If you want to load the AMP library table on Channel 1 prefix the library code with 1 to indicate association with Channel 1. Load then the AMP library table using the code 110. Repeat the same for MP
(130) and TUNER (140). SAMPLE SETUP OF TWO NAD PRODUCTS ON THE SAME ZONE C 399 and T758 are both defaulted to Channel 0. If [OFF] button is pressed on the SR9 remote control (or AVR 4 remote control for the T 758), both products will go to standby mode. Press [ON] and both products will power up from standby mode. To prevent both products from simultaneously going in and out of standby mode along with other common commands, set each one to a different IR channel. In this setup, we will keep T 758 and AVR 4 remote control defaulted to Channel 0. As for C 399, we will assign it to Channel 1; the same applies to SR 9. Set C 399 and SR 9 to Channel 1 via the following procedure. C 399 While at IR Channel menu, use the [a/s] to go to Channel 1 setting. Press
[d] to select Channel 1. SR 9 Press and hold [AMP] in the DEVICE SELECTOR section of the SR 9. While holding down the device button [AMP], press 1, 1 and 0 using SR 9s numeric buttons. Press [ENTER] while still holding down the device button [AMP]. The AMP device selector will flash once to indicate that the library input is successful. With both C 399 and SR 9 set to Channel 1, the C 399 can now be remotely controlled independent of the T 758. NOTE Performing Factory Reset for C 399 or SR 9 will restore their respective IR channel setting to Channel 0. AUTO STANDBY C 399 AS A BLUETOOTH SINK OPERATION USING C 399 H S I L G N E Set Bluetooth Mode to Sink. Initiate pairing of your Bluetooth device with C 399 by following below procedure. 1 Ensure that the Bluetooth antenna is connected to the BT antenna terminal at the rear panel. 2 Using your iOS or Android device, go to Settings Bluetooth and then scan for Bluetooth devices.

Pair or connect your C 399 and the Bluetooth device. 3 Upon successful pairing of your Bluetooth device and the C 399, front panel display will show the connected Bluetooth device ID (Js S21 in this example). Auto Standby feature is an integral feature of C 399 that conforms to European ecodesign regulations. The C 399 can be setup to automatically go to standby mode if there is no user interface interaction and no active source input within 20 minutes. On: C 399 switches to standby mode at lowest power consumption
(less than 0.5W) if there is no user interface interaction and no active source input within 20 minutes. Off: C 399 remains at operating mode even if there is no user interface interaction and no active source within 20 minutes. BLUETOOTH MODE Bluetooth Mode defines the two roles of the C 399 as either a Bluetooth Sink or a Bluetooth Source. Sink: Audio stream is received from a Source on the same Bluetooth network environment. Source: Audio is streamed or sent to another device (Sink) on the same Bluetooth network environment. IMPORTANT!
1 Bluetooth Mode option is not available if the optional MDC2 BluOS-D is installed. 2 With no MDC2 BluOS-D installed and Auto Sense setting of Bluetooth source set to On, C 399 will go to Network Standby mode under the following condition. With a Bluetooth device connected or disconnected, C 399 will go to Network Standby mode if there is no user interface interaction and no active source input within 20 minutes. C 399 will wake up from Network Standby mode by pressing front panel Standby button or OFF button of SR9 remote control or playback of Bluetooth connected device. Power consumption at Network Standby mode is 0.6W. 3 With no MDC2 BluOS-D installed and Auto Sense setting of Bluetooth source set to Off, C 399 will go to Standby mode if there is no user interface interaction and no active source input within 20 minutes. 15 OPERATION USING C 399 C 399 AS A BLUETOOTH SOURCE E N G L I S H 4 Having settled on a Bluetooth Source device, toggle a SOURCE s to select the source media you would like streamed to the connected Bluetooth device.
