IDENTIFICATION OF CONTROLS
FRONT PANEL
8 INPUT SELECTORS: These buttons select the active input to the NAD
C 355BEE and the signal sent to the loudspeakers, the Tape outputs
and the PRE OUT sockets. The buttons on the remote control handset
duplicate these buttons. Green LEDs just above each button will
indicate which input is currently selected.
DISC/MP (Media Player) : Selects a line-level source connected to the
DISC sockets as the active input. When a 3.5mm stereo plug is inserted
into the MP socket, the indicator above the socket will illuminate, and
the DISC line-level source will be disconnected. It is recommended
to mute the volume or switch to a different input before plugging/
unplugging the external Media Player cable.
CD : Selects the CD (or other line-level source) connected to the CD
sockets as the active input.
VIDEO : Selects the VCR (or stereo TV/Satellite/Cable receiver)
connected to the VIDEO sockets as the active input.
AUX : Selects a line-level source connected to the AUX sockets as the
active input.
TUNER : Selects the tuner (or other line-level source) connected to the
tuner 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 monitoring recordings being made through the
Tape Monitor sockets. Press the Tape Monitor button once to select it
and again to return to the normal input selection.
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 amber LED to indicate Tape Monitor is engaged, the
green LED for the active input will also stay lit.
NOTE
The remote control handset with the C 355BEE supplied is of a universal
NAD type, designed to operate several NAD models. Some buttons on
this handset are inoperative as the functions aren't supported by the
C 355BEE. The Video 2 and Video 3 input selector buttons on the remote
control handset are inoperative in the case of the C 355BEE.

9 TONE CONTROLS: The NAD C 355BEE is fitted with BASS and TREBLE
tone controls to adjust the tonal balance of your system. The 12 o'clock
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 anti-clockwise to decrease the amount of
Bass or Treble. The Tone controls do not affect recordings made using
the Tape outputs but will affect the signal going to the Pre-amp output
(PRE OUT 1 or PRE OUT 2).
10 BALANCE: The BALANCE control adjusts the relative levels of the left
and right speakers. The 12 o' c lock 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 anti-
clockwise moves the balance to the left. The BALANCE control does not
affect recordings made using the Tape outputs but will affect the signal
going to the Pre-amp output (PRE OUT 1 or PRE OUT 2).
11 VOLUME: The VOLUME control adjusts the overall loudness of the
signals being fed to the loudspeakers. It is motor driven and can be
adjusted from the remote control handset. The VOLUME control does
not affect recordings made using the Tape outputs but will affect the
signal going to the Pre-amp output (PRE OUT 1 or PRE OUT 2).
On the remote control handset, press the MUTE button to temporarily
switch OFF the sound to the speakers and headphones. Mute mode
is indicated by the Power/Standby/Protection LED flashing. Press the
MUTE button again to restore sound. Mute does not affect recordings
made using the Tape outputs but will affect the signal going to the Pre-
amp output (PRE OUT 1 or PRE OUT 2).
