User manual NAD 616

[. . . ] Note to CATV system installer: This reminder is provided to call the CATV installer's attention to Section 820-40 of the NEC , which provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable should be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical. Some models are designed for use only with the power supply voltage of the region where they are sold. The lightning flash with arrowhead, within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user of the presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure; that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. Avoid placing near transmitters: they can generate high frequencies which may cause malfunctioning of the deck. [. . . ] Refer to the chapter "How to get the best performance from your NAD 616 cassette deck, section "Dubbing" for more information. The button allows you to scroll through the different settings: OFF > B > C > OFF > B, etc. Select the Dolby NR position with which you wish to make a recording before starting a recording. Refer to chapter "How to get the best performance from your NAD 616 cassette deck", section "Dolby B & C Noise Reduction systems" for more details. Play Trim is a special play-back equalisation circuit to restore accurate play-back response from prerecorded, old and worn tapes, tapes recorded in another deck or tapes which weren't recorded properly (too much or too little bias). This control will allow you to adjust the deck's circuitry to ensure proper Dolby NR tracking for a correct high frequency response. Refer to chapter "How to get the best performance from your NAD 616 cassette deck", section "The Play Trim control" for more detailed information. Various functions of the deck are displayed, Recording, Normal and Reverse Play, Normal and High speed dubbing, Pause, Dolby NROff/B/C, Record level, Tape Counter, etc. With this button you can engage the "Auto Reverse"; Once the end of a tape is reached, the transport will automatically switch from Normal Play to Reverse Play or vice-versa. If a tape is present in both transports the deck will play one tape first until the end of Reverse Play has been reached and then switched to the other transport. This way you can automatically re-play a tape up to eight times, or both tapes four times. reverse Mode will default to ON after the deck has been switched off. To re-set the tape counter (in the display) to "0000", make sure the tape count for the right transport is shown (indicated by a little A or B left of the counter) and change if necessary by pressing A/B (7). Select the appropriate DOLBY NR (14) position (Dolby NR Off, Dolby B NR or Dolby C NR, shown in display) to suit the particular tape you wish to play back. Refer to the section "Dolby B & C noise reduction systems " for more information. The Play icon or Reverse Play icon in the display will light up to indicate the play status. If the recording sounds dull, turn the PLAY TRIM control (18) up (clock-wise) to restore accurate highs. If the recording sounds edgy or sibilant, turn the PlayTrim down to obtain smoother treble. Both transports have their own set of transport controls such as Normal and Reverse Play, Stop, Fast Forward and Rewind, located next to the cassette compartments. As these controls perform identical functions the numbering for these is the same, but with a suffix of a or b, relating to either transport a or b. Both transports can play tapes in normal and reversed direction (Normal and Reverse Play), avoiding the need to take the tape out of the compartment and turning it around to play the other side. To avoid confusion, it is recommended that you always insert the cassette with the first side facing forwards. [. . . ] When Auto Reverse (15) mode hasn't been selected ( in the display) the recording will finish at the end of the cassette for both Normal and Reverse direction. When Auto Reverse (15) has been selected ( in the display) the recording will stop once the end of the second side of the cassette has been reached (reverse direction). If the recording was already started in the reverse direction, than only that side of the cassette will be recorded. NOTE: If you only wish to record side 1 of a cassette make sure that the Auto Reverse facility (15) NOTE: Turn down the amplifier or receiver when dubbing in Hi-Speed mode; as the tape speed is twice as fast there is much more high frequency energy than with normal speed and can potentially harm loudspeakers and headphones.
