NAC282 and assigning CD to DIN

The instructions provided with the NAC282 are not intuitive. What exactly is the procedure (the exact and precise sequence of buttons to push on the remote) to assign the CD entry from RCA to DIN or the reverse?

Please do not copy and paste the instruction page in question, I have read it several times, I just cannot achieve this. For now, I am on RCA and it plays wonderfully, but my CD player is not a NAIM, but I am contemplating the CD5 from NAIM, and would like to connect to DIN.

Thanks

Before anyone says it’s simple, I also would like to understand button sequence. Never got my head round it

Hope you get the button sequence

It is really not intuitive. I am anxious to read a precise sequence of buttons.

I found this which sounds very straight forwards ?

The NAC 282 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
282 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 282 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.

Thank you.

Not sure I follow completely, but fear I may be a lost cause.

So far, the best explanation I have had! Will try this for sure.

I managed to follow it when first setting up my 282 to RCA

I dont have an issue with the Naim instructions - its pretty explanatory to me. I swapped RCA-DIN-RCA several times when i first got the 282 to acquaint myself with the functionality - ditto the AV bypass.

I just did that swap on my 282 a month ago from RCA to DIN, on top of my head is hold on the program key + digit 1 key for few seconds, the CD input on the front panel will change, 3 blink for RCA and 1 blink for DIN. I could be wrong because I am half sleep right now :sleeping: but something like that, I am sure you can sort it out sooner or later :slightly_smiling_face:

Always thought a small video of things like this showing how to do connections would be helpful, always better to see rather been told.

Better left on RCA. :+1:
