NAD C 320BEE owner manual Rear Panel Connections

Tape 1 is a tape Monitor function which does not override the current input selection. For example, if the CD is the active input when TAPE 1 is selected, then the CD signal will continue to be selected and sent to both the TAPE 2, and TAPE 1 OUTPUT sockets, but it is the sound from recorder connected to Tape 1 that will be heard on the loudspeakers. Apart from the amber LED to indicate Tape 1 is engaged, the green LED for the active input will also stay lit.

NOTE

The remote control handset with the C320BEE supplied is of a universal NAD type, designed to operate several NAD models. Some buttons on this handset are inoperative as the functions aren’t supported by the C320BEE. The Video 2 and Video 3 input selector buttons on the remote control handset are inoperative in the case of the C320BEE.

6Soft clipping indicator - The green Soft Clipping LED shows that the Soft Clipping mode is engaged. Refer also to “Rear Panel Connections, Section 12 Soft Clipping” for more information.

7Tone controls - The NAD C320BEE is fitted with BASS and TREBLE tone controls to adjust the tonal balance of your system.

The 12 o’clock position is ‘flat’ with no boost or cut, and an indent indicates this position. Rotate the control clockwise to increase the amount of Bass or Treble. Rotate the control anti-clockwise to decrease the amount of Bass or Treble. The Tone controls do not affect recordings made using the Tape outputs but will affect the signal going to the Pre-amp output (Pre Out).

8Tone defeat - The TONE DEFEAT switch by-passes the tone control section of the NAD C320BEE. 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.

9Balance - 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).

10Volume - 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 the MUTE button 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).

5AUX input - Input for additional line level input signals such as another CD player. Use a twin RCA-to-RCA lead to connect the auxiliary unit’s left and right ‘Audio Outputs’ to this input.

6Tuner input - Input for a tuner or other line-level signal source. Use a twin RCA-to-RCA lead to connect the tuner left and right ‘Audio Outputs’ to this input.

7Tape 2 In/Out - Connections for analogue recording and playback to an audio tape recorder of any type. Using twin RCA-to-RCA leads, connect to the left and right ‘Audio Output’ of the tape machine to the TAPE 2 IN sockets for playback and tape monitoring.
