Front Panel Controls - NAD 710 Owner's Manual

SPADE CONNECTORS.
These should be slotted under the terminal's screw
bushing, which is then fully tightened. Ensure the con-
nector is tightly secured and there is no danger of bare
metal from spade connectors touching the back panel
or another connector, as this may cause damage.
BARE WIRES AND PIN CONNECTORS.
Bare wires and pin connectors 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.
Avoid any danger of bare metal from the speaker
cables touching the back panel or another connector.
Ensure that there is only 1/2" (1cm) of bare cable or pin
and no loose strands of speaker wire.

FRONT PANEL CONTROLS.

1. POWER
Press the POWER switch to turn the receiver On.
The Display Panel will illuminate. Press the POWER
switch again to turn the receiver Off.
The NAD-710 uses non-volatile memory to store pre-
set information for the tuner so that these are not lost
when the unit is switched off or unplugged.
2. BASS & TREBLE CONTROLS
The BASS and TREBLE tone controls adjust the
tonal balance of your system.
The 12 o'clock position is 'flat' with no boost or cut
and a detent indicates this position. Rotate the controls
clockwise to increase, or anti-clockwise to decrease,
the amount of Bass or Treble. The Tone controls do not
affect recordings made using the TAPE or PORTABLE
Outputs.
3. TONE DEFEAT
The TONE DEFEAT switch by-passes the tone con-
trol section of the NAD-710. If you normally leave the
Tone Controls in the 12 o'clock position, then it is
advisable to switch out the tone control section alto-
gether by depressing the TONE DEFEAT switch. By-
passing the Tone Control electronics ensures a slightly
improved audio quality and an unaltered frequency
response.
4. INPUT SELECTORS
These buttons select the active input to the NAD-710
and the signal sent to the loudspeakers, the TAPE and
PORTABLE OUTPUTS. Press the button to latch it in
and select the input. It will be released when a different
input is selected.
VIDEO
Selects the VCR (or stereo TV/Satellite/Cable receiv-
er) connected to the VCR sockets as the active input.
AUX
Selects a line-level source connected to the AUX
sockets as the active input.
CD
Selects the CD (or other line-level source) connected
to the CD sockets, as the active input.
TUNER
Selects the NAD-710's Tuner Section as the active
input.
5. PORTABLE/INPUT CONNECTORS
Your NAD-710 has additional front panel
PLAY/RECORD connectors to playback or record
using a second system temporarily connected to the
receiver. 3.5mm stereo mini-jack sockets are provided
so that personal or portable stereo systems can be
easily connected to your receiver. Standard Hi-Fi com-
ponents that have RCA sockets can also be connected
to these PLAY/RECORD sockets using a suitable
3.5mm/twin RCA adapter.
Press the PORTABLE button In to select the front
panel Portable Input, and Out to return to normal oper-
ation.
The PORTABLE input will mix with any other input
signal selected. So for example, by pressing CD and
then selecting PORTABLE, you can use the NAD-710
to mix between two CD players (one connected CD
and the other connected to PORTABLE).
6. TAPE MONITOR
Selects the output from a tape recorder when playing
back tapes or monitoring recordings being made
through the rear TAPE sockets. Press the TAPE MONI-
TOR button once to select it, and again to return to the
normal input selection.
This is a Tape Monitor function and will not cancel
the current input selection. For example, if the CD is
the active input when TAPE MONITOR is selected, CD
will remain selected and its signal sent to the TAPE
and PORTABLE output sockets. However the sound
heard through the loudspeakers will be coming back
from recorder connected to your receivers TAPE IN
sockets.
TO MAKE A RECORDING.
When any source is selected, the signal is also fed
directly to any tape machine connected to the TAPE or
PORTABLE output, ready for recording.
TAPE-TO-TAPE COPYING.
You can copy between two tape machines connected
to your NAD-710. Put the source tape in the recorder
connected to PORTABLE and the blank tape into the
recorder connected to TAPE. By selecting the
PORTABLE input and then TAPE MONITOR you can
now record from Portable to Tape and monitor the sig-
nal being recorded.
Note: Copying may be violating the copyright or prop-
erty rights of the recordings owner.
VOLUME AND MONO.
7. MONO
Pressing the MONO button in switches the NAD-710
amplifier and tuner sections between Stereo and Mono
Modes. Use Mono mode when the signal is present on
only one of the two stereo input channels (left or right)
or when receiving weak and hissy stereo FM signals.
Pressing the button out returns to Stereo operation.
