1. Installing and Connecting
1.1 Stand your NAC-N 172 XS on an appropriate, stable surface. Make sure it is well ventilated.
1.2 Check that the mains supply specified on the NAC-N 172 XS rear panel is appropriate for your territory. Connect the NAC-N
172 XS to the mains using the supplied cable but do not switch it on until all other connections have been made.
1.3 Identify the rear panel Signal Ground Switch and select the chassis option unless your NAC-N 172 XS is connected in a hi-fi
system incorporating another earthed source component (all Naim CD players, for example), or mains hum is audible through
the speakers when it is switched on.
1.4 If the optional DAB/FM Radio Module is fitted, a suitable aerial should be connected to the DAB/FM aerial socket.
1.5 Connect one of the NAC-N 172 XS preamp outputs to a power amplifier input. If the option is available with the power
amplifier, DIN sockets should be used in preference to RCA phono sockets. If a subwoofer is to be used, connect it to
the second NAC-N 172 XS preamp output using a Naim subwoofer cable. Contact your local Naim retailer or distributor if
necessary for more information on subwoofer cables.
1.6 To play audio from internet radio stations, UPnP™ servers, Spotify®Connect, or other Naim streamer units the NAC-N 172
XS must be connected to the internet via a network router. Either connect the NAC-N 172 XS network socket to your network
router using an Ethernet cable, or connect the supplied Wi-Fi antenna to the rear panel Wi-Fi aerial socket.
1.7 For NAC-N 172 XS to play audio from Bluetooth®streaming devices, the supplied Bluetooth antenna must be attached to the
rear panel Bluetooth aerial socket.
1.8 If your NAC-N 172 XS is to play audio files stored on a USB storage device, connect it, using an appropriate cable if necessary,
to the front panel USB socket.
1.9 If any external audio sources are to be used with your NAC-N 172 XS, connect them using the appropriate cables to one or
more of the rear panel analogue or digital inputs.
2. Switching On and Getting Started
2.1 Once all connections have been made, switch on your NAC-N 172 XS using its rear panel on/off switch.
The NAC-N 172 XS will display a welcome screen and select its Analogue 1 input or, if it has been previously used, the last
input selected.
2.2 For initial setup purposes your NAC-N 172 XS is best controlled from its remote handset. Use the navigation (56) keys to
select inputs or menu items and the ok/list key to confirm selections. To return to a previous menu use the left (3) key.
2.3 The NAC-N 172 XS interface language can be changed. Enter Setup Mode and select Language.

audio stream. To pair a NAC-N 172 XS with a Bluetooth device select the Bluetooth input and press the handset play/pause key
( ). The NAC-N 172 XS will become available for pairing in the Bluetooth device setup menu. Once successfully paired
with the Bluetooth device, the NAC-N 172 XS will be available to the audio apps on the device. NAC-N 172 XS will switch
automatically to its Bluetooth input when in receipt of a Bluetooth stream. The NAC-N 172 XS Bluetooth input setup menu
offers further Bluetooth configuration options including “open” pairing.
3.6 Your NAC-N 172 XS can play TIDAL streams via the Naim App. When in receipt of a TIDAL stream the NAC-N 172 XS will
automatically select its TIDAL input. Playback can be controlled using the the Naim app, the handset or the front panel
controls. TIDAL streaming requires a TIDAL subscription.
3.7 The NAC-N 172 XS can play and broadcast audio streams from and to other Naim streaming products connected to the same
network. Enable the Multiroom input in the Inputs setup menu to receive and play multiroom streams. Select the Rooms setup
menu to select available streamers for broadcast.
3.8 When a USB memory device is connected to the front panel USB socket and the USB input is selected, your NAC-N 172 XS will
display a menu structure that reflects the device. Use the handset navigation (563) and ok/list keys to browse and select
