User manual NAD 711

[. . . ] If an indoor antenna is used (either built into the set or installed separately), never allow any part of the antenna to touch the metal parts of other electrical appliances such as a lamp, TV set etc. The graphic symbol of a lightning flash with an arrow point within a triangle signifies that there is dangerous voltage within the unit and it poses a hazard to anyone removing the cover to gain access to the interior of the unit. If an outside antenna is connected to your tuner or tuner-preamplifier, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. 70-1984, provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes and requirements for the grounding electrode. [. . . ] As an additional convenience feature, your AV 711 memorizes which surround mode you have used with the given input selection. When you next select that input, your AV 711 will automatically choose the same Surround mode again. If you normally use Dolby Pro Logic mode on the Video 1 and Video 2 inputs, Dolby 3 Stereo mode on the Video 1 input, Hall mode on FM, and By-Pass (Stereo) on the others, pressing the Input Selector will automatically default to the right Surround mode without having to separately press the Surround Mode button. The Display Panel shows the frequency of the tuned station and which Preset and Preset bank (if any) is selected. It will search through the tuning frequencies and stop when it finds a broadcast station. Pressing the CENTER button pages through the three options: NORMAL, PHANTOM and WIDEBAND. For Dolby Pro Logic use NORMAL, WIDEBAND, PHANTOM and for Dolby 3 Stereo use NORMAL, WIDEBAND. NORMAL mode is used when the center speaker is smaller than the front left and right speakers. This mode produces a true center image with the very low frequencies (below 70Hz) filtered out. WIDEBAND mode is used when the center speaker is the same type as the front left and right speakers. The 30 Presets can be AM or FM stations and are stored in three Preset Banks, which can contain up to 10 Preset stations. Press BANK to switch between the three banks (A, B or C) of tuner presets. For convenience you could use two Banks for FM stations and one Bank for AM, although a mix of FM and AM stations can be stored in any single Bank of presets. Using the remote control; press the BANK button and choose the bank group, and then press the PRESET (+ or ­ button). In normal (FM MUTE ON) operation, during the tuning process the tuner will mute when there is little or no signal present, giving silence until a station with a reasonably strong signal is found. Pressing FM MUTE/MODE will switch off the mute function so that very weak stations can be located. When a stereo FM signal is being received, your AV 711 will automatically switch to Stereo FM operation, which will be shown by STEREO indicator in the Display Panel. The Preset number will then disappear from the Display Panel and the Preset will be emptied. Press SLEEP to make the AV 711 automatically switch off after a preset number of minutes. Pressing the SLEEP button once will set the sleep time to 90 minutes, after which the AV 711 will automatically switch off into Standby mode. This will reduce the sleep time in 10 minute increments, as shown in the Display Panel. You can use the Manual tune to select a known station's frequency or Search mode to automatically look for stations that are transmitting in your area, and then use the MEMORY button to store them into the AV 711's memory. [. . . ] Surrounds will normally be in phase with each other if they have been correctly connected. There is no absolute rule regarding the relative phase between the front speakers and the surround speaker pair or the Sub-Woofer (if used). Connecting these using the red + connector from the amplifier to the red + connector on the speakers should produce correct results. But in some rooms reversing the connections may produce a noticeable increase in bass response or an improvement in overall stereo imagery, so you may wish to experiment with revers- As well as the standard audio sources, this system has also a VCR, a Laser Disc player or a games console connected as A/V sources.
