To Make A Recording; Remote Control Handset - NAD C320BEE Owner's Manual

10 Main in - Connections to an external pre-amplifier or processor, such
as a surround-sound decoder. In normal use these should be
connected to the Pre-Out sockets (No. 9) with the links supplied. To
connect your NAD C320BEE to external processor or pre-amplifier
first remove these links. Use a twin RCA-to-RCA lead to connect to
the left and right 'Audio Output' of the pre-amp or processor to the
Main-In sockets.
NOTE
Always turn the amplifier off before connecting or disconnecting
anything from to Pre-Out and Main-In sockets.
11 Speakers - Speaker terminals for speakers with an impedance of 4
ohms or more. Connect the right speaker to the terminals market 'R
+' and 'R-' ensuring that the 'R+' is connected to the '+' terminal on
your loudspeaker and the 'R-' is connected to the loudspeaker's '-'
terminal. Connect the terminals marked 'L+' and 'L-' to the left
speaker in the same way.
Always use heavy duty (16 gauge; 1.5mm, or thicker) stranded wire
to connect loudspeakers to your NAD C320BEE. The high-current
binding post terminals can be used as a screw terminal for cables
terminating in spade or pin sockets or for cables with bare wire ends.
BARE WIRES AND PIN CONNECTORS
Bare wires and pin sockets should be inserted into the hole in the shaft
of the terminal. Unscrew the speaker terminal's plastic bushing until the
hole in the screw shaft is revealed. Insert the pin or bare cable end into
the hole and secure the cable by tightening down the terminal's
bushing. Ensure bare wire from the speaker cables does not touch the
back panel or another socket. Ensure that there is only 1/2" (1cm) of
bare cable or pin and no loose strands of speakers wire.
12 Soft Clipping™ - When an amplifier is driven beyond its specified
power output, a hard, distorted sound can be heard on very loud
sounds. This is caused by the amplifier cutting off or 'hard clipping'
the peaks of sound that was not designed to reproduce. The NAD
Soft Clipping circuit gently limits the output of the system to
minimise audible distortion if the amplifier is overdriven.
If your listening involves moderate power levels you may leave the
Soft Clipping switch to Off. If you are likely to play at high levels, that
could stretch the amplifier's power capability, then switch Soft
Clipping On.
The Soft Clipping™ LED on the front panel will illuminate when the
amplifier is in Soft Clipping mode.
13 AC line cord - Plug the AC power cord into a live AC wall socket.
Make sure all connections have been made before connecting to
mains.
14 12V trigger output - The 12V TRIGGER OUTPUT is used for
controlling external equipment that is equipped with a 12V trigger
input. This output will be 12V when the C320BEE is on and 0V when
the unit is either off or in standby. This output can drive a load up to
100ma at 12V.

TO MAKE A RECORDING

When any source is selected, its signal is also fed directly to any tape
machine connected to the TAPE 2 or TAPE 1 OUTPUTS for recording.
TAPE TO TAPE COPYING
You can copy between two tape machines connected to your NAD
C320BEE. Put the source tape in the recorder connected to Tape 2 and
the blank tape into the recorder connected to Tape 1. By selecting TAPE
2 Input you can now record from Tape 2 to Tape 1 and monitor the
signal coming from the original tape.

REMOTE CONTROL HANDSET

The Remote Control handset handles all the key functions of the NAD
C720BEE and has additional controls to remotely operate NAD Cassette
and CD machines. It will operate up to a distance of 16ft (5m). Alkaline
batteries are recommended for maximum operating life. Two AAA (R 03)
batteries should be fitted in the battery compartment at the back of the
Remote Control handset. When replacing batteries, check that they
have been put in the right way round, as indicated on the base of the
battery compartment.
Please refer to previous sections of the manual for a full description of
individual functions.
When a command from the remote control is received, the
Standby/protection indicator will blink.
1 POWER ON & OFF - The NAD C320BEE remote has a separate On and
Off button. This can be particularly useful to keep components within
a system "insync": This way all components will switch to stand-by
when Off is pressed or switch to operating mode when On is pressed,
instead of some components switching On when the amplifier is
switched to Stand-by. (Note that the other components have to be
capable of responding to the separate On and Off commands as
well). Press the ON button to switch the unit from Stand-by to the
operating mode; The Stand-by indicator (Fig. 2; No. 2) will turn from
amber, to red, then to green. Press the OFF button to switch the unit
to the Stand-by mode: The Stand-by indicator will light up amber.
2 INPUTS - The input selector buttons perform the same functions as the
buttons labelled the same on the front panel.
3 Numeric Keys - The numeric keys allow for direct input of tracks for
CD-players, and direct channel/preset access for the tuner.
4 MASTER VOLUME - Press the MASTER VOLUME
buttons to respectively increase or decrease the loudness level.
Release the button when the desired level is reached. The motorised
Volume Control on the front panel will indicate the level set. The
Master Volume buttons do not affect recordings made using the Tape
outputs but will affect the signal going to the Pre-amp outputs.
5 MUTE - Press the MUTE Button to temporarily switch off the sound to
the speakers and headphones. Mute mode is indicated by the MUTE
icon in the VFD. Press MUTE again to restore sound. Mute does not
affect recordings made using the Tape output but will affect the signal
going to the Preamp outputs.
6 TUNER CONTROL - TUNE or
