NAD C 326BEE Owner's Manual page 7

7 input SelectorS: These buttons select the active input to the NAD
C 326BEE and the signal sent to the loudspeakers, headphones and the PRE
OUT sockets. 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.
mp (media plaYer): Selects a line-level source connected to the MP
sockets as the active input.
If an external Media Player is connected to the front MP socket (using
a 3.5mm stereo plug) while listening to a MP line-level source, the
external Media Player will be directly selected with the MP line-level
source immediately 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.
tuner: Selects the tuner (or other line-level source) connected to the
tuner sockets as the active input.
diSc: Selects a line-level source connected to the DISC sockets.
aux: Selects a line-level source connected to the AUX sockets as the
active input.
video: Selects the VCR (or stereo TV/Satellite/Cable receiver)
connected to the VIDEO sockets as the active input.
tape monitor: Selects the output from a tape recorder when playing
back tapes or monitor recordings being made through the TAPE OUT
sockets in the rear panel. 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 the TAPE OUT sockets, but it is the
sound from the recorder connected to TAPE IN that will be heard on the
loudspeakers. Apart from the blue LED to indicate Tape Monitor is engaged,
the blue LED for the active input will also stay lit.
IDENTIFICATION OF CONTROLS
8 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.
9 tone controlS: The NAD C 326BEE 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 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).
10 balance: The BALANCE control adjusts the relative levels of the left
and right speakers. 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).
11 volume: The VOLUME control adjusts the overall loudness of the
signals being fed to the loudspeakers 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).
