1 StandbY button: With the rear panel POWER switch set to ON
position, press this button to switch ON the C 165BEE from standby
mode. The Standby LED indicator will turn from amber to blue. Pressing
the STANDBY button again turns the unit back to standby mode.
The C 165BEE can also be switched ON from standby mode by pressing
any of the front panel buttons.
2 StandbY led: This indicator will light up amber when the C 165BEE
is in standby state. When the C 165BEE is at ON state, this indicator will
illuminate blue. When infrared command from the SR 8 is received, this
indicator will also flash momentarily.
3 phoneS: A 1/4" stereo jack socket is supplied for headphone listening
and will work with conventional headphones of any impedance.
Inserting a headphone jack into this socket automatically switches off
the output at PRE OUT 1 and PRE OUT 2 in the rear panel. The volume,
tone and balance controls are operative for headphone listening. Use
a suitable adapter to connect headphones with other types of sockets,
such as 3.5mm "personal stereo" jack plugs.
NOTE
Make certain that the volume control is turned to minimum (fully
counterclockwise) before connecting or disconnecting headphones.
Listening at high levels can damage your hearing.
4 remote SenSor: Point the SR 8 remote control at the remote
sensor and press the buttons. Do not expose the remote sensor of the
C 165BEE to a strong light source such as direct sunlight or illumination.
If you do so, you may not be able to operate the C 165BEE with the
remote control.
distance: About 23ft (7m) from the front of the remote sensor.
angle: About 30° in each direction of the front of the remote sensor.
5 input SelectorS: These buttons select the active input to the
NAD C 165BEE. The buttons on the remote control handset duplicate
these buttons. When selected, the corresponding input LED indicator
embedded around the bezel of the particular input button will
illuminate blue.
phono: Selects as the active input the turntable connected to either
the PHONO MM or MC sockets.
cd: Selects the CD (or other line-level source) connected to the CD
sockets as the active input.
tuner: Selects the tuner (or other line-level source) connected to the
tuner sockets as the active input.
mp (media plaYer): Selects a line-level source connected to the MP
sockets as the active input.

aux: Selects a line-level source connected to the AUX sockets as the
active input.
tape 2: Selects Tape 2 as the active input.
tape monitor: Selects the output from a tape recorder when playing
back tapes or monitor recordings that are being made through the Tape
Monitor sockets.
TAPE MONITOR does not override the current input selection. For example,
if CD is the active input when TAPE Monitor is selected, then the CD
signal will continue to be selected and sent to both the TAPE 2 and TAPE
Monitor OUTPUT sockets, but it is the sound from recorder connected to
Tape Monitor that will be heard on the loudspeakers. Apart from the TAPE
MONITOR LED illuminated to indicate it is engaged, the corresponding LED
indicator for the active input will also stay illuminated.
6 tone defeat: Tone Controls are enabled or disabled by pressing this
button. When enabled (TONE DEFEAT LED indicator is illuminated), the
Tone Control circuits are bypassed. The Tone Control circuits are active
when the TONE DEFEAT LED indicator stays extinguished.
7 tone controlS: The NAD C 165BEE is fitted with BASS and TREBLE tone
controls to adjust the tonal balance of your system. The 12 o' c lock position
is "flat" with no boost or cut, and an indent indicates this position. Rotate
the control clockwise to increase the amount of Bass or Treble. Rotate the
control counterclockwise to decrease the amount of Bass or Treble. The
Tone controls do not affect recordings made using the Tape output but will
affect the signal going to the Pre-amp output (PRE OUT).
8 balance: The BALANCE control adjusts the relative levels of the left
and right channels. The 12 o'clock position provides equal level to the
left and right channels. A detent indicates this position. Rotating the
control clockwise moves the balance towards the right. Rotating the
control counterclockwise moves the balance to the left. The BALANCE
control does not affect recordings made using the Tape output but will
affect the signal going to the Pre-amp output (PRE OUT).
9 volume: The VOLUME control adjusts the overall loudness of the
signals being fed to PRE OUT 1, PRE OUT 2 or headphones. Turn
clockwise to increase the volume setting; counter clockwise to lower it.
The VOLUME control does not affect recordings made using the Tape
output but will affect the signal going to the Pre-amp output (PRE
OUT).
