7. TONE DEFEAT

The TONE DEFEAT switch by-passes the tone control section of the NAD C340. If the Tone Controls are not normally used and left in the 12 o’clock position, then it is advisable to switch out the Tone Control section altogether by using this switch. In the ‘out’ position, the Tone Control circuits are active, pushing the TONE DEFEAT switch ‘in’ bypasses the Tone Control section.

8. 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 anti-clockwise moves the balance to the left. The BALANCE control does not affect recordings made using the Tape outputs but will affect the signal going to the Pre-amp output (Pre Out).

9. VOLUME

The VOLUME control adjusts the overall loudness of the signals being fed to the loudspeakers. It is motor driven and can be adjusted from the remote control handset. The VOLUME control does not affect recordings made using the Tape outputs but will affect the signal going to the Pre-amp output (Pre Out).

On the remote control handset, press the MUTE Button to temporarily switch off the sound to the speakers and headphones. Mute mode is indicated by the active input LED flashing. Press MUTE again to restore sound. Mute does not affect recordings made using the Tape outputs but will affect the signal going to the Pre-amp output (Pre Out).

TO MAKE A RECORDING

When any source is selected, its signal is also fed directly to any tape machine connected to the TAPE 1 or TAPE 2 OUTPUTS for recording.

TAPE TO TAPE COPYING

You can copy between two tape machines connected to your NAD C340. Put the source tape in the recorder connected to Tape 1 and GB the blank tape into the recorder connected to Tape 2. By selecting TAPE 1 Input you can now record from Tape 1 to Tape 2 and

monitor the signal coming from the original tape.
