Help - First Ever go at turntable with NAC 252 - Failure!

Just got a (working had a demo) Linn Axis 95ML cartridge and NAD PP2E

Changed the 252 input from Tuner (NDS) to Aux 2 - get no sound

Any help appreciated

The demo wasn’t through Naim amps or with a PP2E

Linn Phono into NAD incl ground, NAD Phono out to 252 Aux 2 Phono

I cant be this daft!!

Thanks

You’ll need to activate the input, check the manual. Section 7.2

7.2 Input Socket Assignment

The NAC 252 has six DIN input sockets and two alternative pairs of RCA Phono sockets. The RCA Phono sockets can be assigned individually to the cd and aux 2 input buttons in place of the DIN sockets.

Input assignment setup is accessed through the NAC 252 program mode. To switch into (or exit from) program mode press and hold the prog key on the remote handset (in preamplifier mode). Program mode is indicated by a flashing indicator on the front panel volume control and the record selection indicators extinguishing

Note: If no function is operated within five minutes of entering program mode the NAC 252 will return to normal mode automatically.

Once in program mode press and hold the remote handset 1 key to select or de-select the RCA Phono socket input for cd, and the remote handset 6 key to select or de-select the RCA Phono socket input for aux 2. The corresponding front panel input buttons can similarly be used to select or de-select the RCA Phono socket inputs. The appropriate input button indicator will flash three times on selection of the RCA Phono option and once on selection of the DIN option.

To exit from program mode press and hold the prog key on the handset until the record select indicators are restored and the volume indicator stops flashing.

Thanks - sorted !

Its not quite NDS quality but pretty decent - enjoying all my old vinyl!

Need a RCA-DIN lead - its a hassle changing DIN to Phono when swapping NDS to Axis

From experience, Naim do a variety of such leads :wink:
