User manual NAD C422

[. . . ] TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRONIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE This product is manufactured to comply with the radio interference requirements of EEC DIRECTIVE 89/68/EEC and 73/23/EEC EXPLANATION OF GRAPHICAL SYMBOLS The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to 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. the exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance. PRECAUTIONS Read the Operating Instructions carefully and completely before operating the unit. All warnings and cautions in the Operating Instructions and on the unit should be strictly followed, as well as the safety suggestions below. [. . . ] Have the unit inspected by a qualified service technician before attempting to use it again. 4 IR in - The IR IN connector is used to pass commands from other units fitted with IR OUT connectors. This allows centralized control of a complete system, and also allows some of the basic functions of other NAD components (such as a CD player or cassette-deck) also equipped with IR IN to be controlled with an NAD system remote control. To function with such other units, connect the C 422's IR IN to the IR OUT on the other unit. IR IN connectors can be daisychained, IN to OUT, so that a whole system can be controlled from the remote control facilities of one unit. NOTES ON INSTALLATION Your NAD C 422 should be placed on a firm, level surface. Avoid placing the unit in direct sunlight, near sources of heat and damp or in poorly ventilated positions. Ensure that leads and connectors are not damaged in any way and all connectors are firmly pushed home. 3 Output - Using twin RCA-to-RCA leads, connect to the left (white) and right (red) audio outputs to the "Tuner" input or other line-level input such as "Aux" input of your amplifier. Do not connect this cable to the amplifier's "Phono" input. Most NAD system remote control handsets with an On/Off toggle button or separate On and Off button will be able to switch the tuner from On to Stand-by and vice-versa. This information is retained for several weeks, even if the unit is switched off completely or unplugged. When switching power On, the C 422 will go back to the station last tuned to before the unit was turned off. This will allow you to make timer recordings using an external timer and recorder. 2 Power Status Indicator - The Power Status Indicator will light up green when Power is on. When the tuner is switched to Stand-by mode (through either a remote control or the 12V trigger input) the indicator will light up amber. 3 Blend - Weak or remote stereo radio stations are sometimes received with noise and hiss as the antenna signal is too weak. By switching the tuner to mono will reduce the amount of noise and hiss but at the expense of any stereo information. The NAD Blend feature will allow you to reduce the amount noise and hiss but still retain some level of stereo separation, instead of mono. The Blend button toggles between engaging or disengaging the Blend feature; when engaged, "BLEND" lights up in the display. 4 Memory - The Memory is used to store stations into the Preset Memory bank and to store user defined names for non-RDS Preset stations. When Memory is pressed during normal operation, the Preset number and the red "MEMORY" indicator will flash in the Display Panel. [. . . ] Press only the display button again (within default time of 5 seconds) to confirm you want to delete this preset. the text "DELETED" and "--" as the Preset number appear in the display for a couple of seconds. LABELLING A PRESET When a station is transmitting RDS information, your NAD C 422 will automatically show the station initials when its Preset is used. Although the Tuner automatically shows the frequency of any other AM or nonRDS Preset station, it also allows you to type in the station name to make it easier to identify which station is stored in the Memory Preset.
