User manual NAD S70

[. . . ] To ensure long-term, trouble free operation, avoid the remote control being exposed to shocks and water. Should water enter the case of the remote control, remove the battery as explained in this manual and have it inspected by a qualified service technician before attempting to use it again. Using a fresh battery, the NAD S70 will operate up to a distance of 20ft (7m) and within an angle of 45° either way from a straight line from the front panels of your NAD Silver Series system. Make sure there is a clear line-of-sight between the components of your system and the window on the front of the S70. [. . . ] · In the System Set-up Menu, activate the clock by pressing the button next to "CLOCK"; a tick mark will appear to indicate that the clock has been activated. · Press the button next to "CLOCK" for 2 seconds · The Clock Set-up Menu allows for adjusting the clock. Use the 24-hour format to enter the correct time (for example, 2:15PM would be 14:15) by pressing the buttons next to "HR+" (to adjust hours upwards), "HR-" (adjust hours downwards), "MIN +" (adjust minutes upwards), "MIN -" (adjust minutes downwards). · Press the button next to "EXIT" to return to System Set-up Menu. · Press the button next to "EXIT" to return to Main Menu. NOTE: If you choose to de-select (no tick-mark) from the System Set-up Menu you will have to adjust the clock again next time you activate it. Adjusting display contrast The NAD S70's display contrast can be adjusted to optimise legibility from a wide viewing angle. The factory setting will be suitable in almost all cases but under exceptional circumstances or if the battery is becoming very weak it may be 18 necessary to adjust contrast. · From the Main Menu, press the button next to "SYSTEM". · Press the button next to ">>" to increase contrast or "<<" to decrease contrast. · When the optimum contrast level has been set, press the button next to "EXIT" to return to Main Menu. USING THE NAD S70 REMOTE CONTROL The NAD S70 is a "menu-driven" remote control, where many of its buttons vary in function, depending on which Menu was selected. The display next to these buttons indicates which functions are available. The Volume Control, Mute and On/Off buttons will always perform the same function, regardless of whichever Menu was selected. The display will always turn itself off, 25 seconds after the last button has been pressed, to prolong battery life. Pressing any button, other than the volume buttons, will activate the display again. On/Off Press this button to switch components from the Operating to the Stand-by mode and vice versa. As this is a toggle command, switching between Stand-by and Operating mode, you may consider to switch all components to operating mode so that using On/Off button on the S70 all components are synchronised in status: Press the power button on the front panel of each remote controlled Silver Series component so that all are turned on and in Operating mode. By connecting NADLink between all components, they will remain in synchronisation with each other, even if one of the components is just out of the S70's range. The On/Off function is always available, regardless of whichever Menu the S70 is in. Mute & Display back light Press the Mute Button to temporarily switch off the sound from the amplifier or pre-amplifier. The Mute button also engages the back-lighting for the display so that the S70 can easily be used in dark environments. The light will turn itself off automatically after 15 seconds to conserve battery power. [. . . ] NOTES: Make sure that the S70 is located well within range of all components, otherwise the Timer function will function erratically or not at all. The Timer function is available only if Clock function has been selected (indicated by tick-mark) in the System Set-up Menu. Refer to chapter "Set-up of the S70 Remote Control" above for information on activating and setting the clock. NAD-LINK Many NAD components feature NAD-Link. The RCA sockets on the back panel of these components, marked "NAD-Link In" and "Out" allow for remote control command communication between the components when connected with each other. [. . . ]
