TAPE FUNCTIONS

3. TAPE MONITOR

Selects the output from a tape recorder when playing back tapes or monitoring recordings being made through the Tape sockets. Press the TAPE MONITOR button once to select it and again to return to the normal input selection.

TAPE MONITOR is a monitor function which does not override the current input selection. For example, if the CD is the active input when TAPE MONITOR is selected, then the CD signal will continue to be selected and sent to the TAPE REC sockets, but it is the sound from recorder connected to TAPE will be heard from the loudspeakers.

To show which input is active when in tape monitor mode, its indicator light will stay lit.

TO MAKE A RECORDING

When any source is selected, its signal is also fed directly to any tape machine connected to the TAPE REC outputs for recording.

Please note that the S300 has no built-in RIAA phono amplification. If you wish to listen to LP records, it is necessary to add a separate phono preamplifier, such as an NAD PP1. The phono preamplifier may then be connected to the AUX or VIDEO input.

STANDBY Switches the S300 between On and Standby modes. (Caution: Switch the S300 off using the front panel POWER button when it is not being used for long periods of time.)

MUTE Press the MUTE button to temporarily switch off the sound to the speakers. Press MUTE button again to restore sound.

VIDEO 1 Selects VIDEO as the active input.

VIDEO 2 and 3 Not active with S300.

DISC Not active with S300.

CD Selects CD as the active input.

TUNER FM Selects the TUNER input of the S300 and the FM waveband on a separate NAD Tuner.

TUNER AM Also selects TUNER input on the S300 and the AM waveband on a separate NAD Tuner.

AUX Selects AUX as the active input.

TAPE 1 Selects TAPE MONITOR as the active input. Press it to select, press it again to revert to normal input selection.

MASTER VOLUME or respectively increases or decreases the Volume setting. The motorised Volume Control on the front panel will indicate the level set.

Other than the commands relating to the NAD S300 amplifier itself, there are other buttons which will operate most NAD CD players, Tuners and Cassette decks equipped with NAD Link.

BALANCE AND VOLUME

BALANCE

The S300 is designed with no balance control. As most serious listening takes place in the optimum position between the speakers, we have decided to leave out this potentially detrimental control.

4. 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 output.

GB 5. IR

Sensor for receiving the infra-red signals from your remote handset. The LED above the sensor will flash when a signal is being received from the remote handset, even if the signal goes to another NAD unit, e.g. through NAD-LINK.

REMOTE CONTROL HANDSET

The Remote control handset handles all the key functions of the S300 and has additional controls to remotely operate NAD Tuners, Cassette and CD machines. Alkaline batteries are recommended for maximum operating life. Two AAA (LR03) batteries should be fitted in the battery compartment of the Remote control handset. When replacing batteries, check that they have been put in the right way round, as indicated on the base of the battery compartment. Please refer to previous sections of the manual for a full description of individual functions.

NOTE: The remote control handset supplied is the NAD universal remote and can be used on any remote controllable NAD system. Not every function on it is available on your S300.
