1STANDBY LED: This indicator will light up amber when the C 426 is in standby state. When the C 426 is at ON state, this indicator will illuminate blue. This indicator will extinguish itself when the power cable is unplugged from the AC supply.

2STANDBY BUTTON: Press this button to turn ON the C 426. The Standby LED indicator will turn from amber to blue and illuminate the VFD. Pressing the STANDBY button again turns the unit back to standby mode.

3FM/AM: Toggle [FM/AM] button to select AM or FM band.

4FM MUTE/MODE: The front panel [FM MUTE/MODE] button is a dual- purpose control. In the normal position, “FM ST” and “FM MUTE” icons on the VFD are lit; only the stations with a strong signal can be listened to, and the noise between stations is muted.

Pressing the [FM MUTE/MODE] button again (“FM ST” and “FM MUTE” icons on the VFD are extinguished) allows distant and potentially noisy stations to be received. Noise is reduced if the FM station signal level is less than the FM Stereo threshold (since mono FM is inherently less noise prone) though at the sacrifice of the stereo effect.

The “FM MUTE” status can be stored for individual presets.

5BLEND: The NAD BLEND feature will allow you to reduce the amount of noise and hiss but still retain some level of stereo separation, instead of mono. The [BLEND] button toggles between engaging and disengaging the BLEND feature. When engaged, “BLEND” is illuminated in the VFD; “BLEND” is extinguished when not engaged.

The “BLEND” status can be stored for individual presets.

6DISPLAY: Use this multifunction button to toggle between RDS PS, RDS RT and station frequency in FM tuner mode. Refer also to the item about VIEW RDS TEXT at the LISTENING TO AM/FM RADIO section of the OPERATION page.

In combination with [MEMORY] button, [DISPLAY] button is also used in deleting stored presets. Refer also to the item about DELETE A PRESET at the LISTENING TO AM/FM RADIO section of the OPERATION page.

7MEMORY: Press this button to store tuned AM or FM stations to the C 426’s 40 preset-memory locations. One can store a mix of any AM or FM stations to the 40 available presets.

In combination with [DISPLAY] button, [MEMORY] button is also used in deleting stored presets. Refer also to the item about DELETE A PRESET at the LISTENING TO AM/FM RADIO section of the OPERATION page.

8PRESET/TUNE: Toggle [PRESET/TUNE] button to switch between “Preset” and “Tune” mode. Select TUNE mode (“TUNE” scrolls through the VFD) or PRESET mode (“PRESET” scrolls through the VFD).

9REMOTE SENSOR: Point the TNR 1 remote control at the remote sensor and press the buttons. Do not expose the remote sensor of the C 426 to a strong light source such as direct sunlight or illumination. If you do so, you may not be able to operate C 426 with the remote control.

Distance: About 23 ft (7 m) from the front of the remote sensor

Angle: About 30° in each direction of the front of the remote sensor

10VACUUM FLUORESCENT DISPLAY (VFD): Provide visual information on the settings, conditions, status and other information relevant to the currently tuned station.
