NOTES: The remote control handset supplied with the C720BEE 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 C720BEE. The Video 2 and Video 3 input selector buttons (inside section No.2) on the remote control handset are inoperative in the case of the C720BEE.

Direct sunlight or very bright ambient lighting may affect the operating range and angle for the remote control handset.

LISTENING TO RADIO

The C720BEE's internal AM/FM tuner offers very high quality sound from radio broadcasts. Note that reception and sound quality will always be dependent to a degree on the type of antenna(s) used, as well as proximity to the broadcast origin, geography, and weather conditions.

ABOUT ANTENNAS

The supplied ribbon-wire FM antenna can be connected to the rear-panel FM-antenna input using the 'balun' adapter included, and should be fully extended to form a "T". This folded-dipole antenna will usually work best oriented vertically, with the arms of its "T" full outstretched and arranged perpendicular to the origin of the desired broadcast. There are no 'rules,' however, and experimenting freely with antenna placement and orientation may yield the clearest sound and lowest background noise. In areas of poor FM reception, an exterior FM antenna can improve performance dramatically. If radio listening is important to you, consider consulting an antenna installation professional to optimize your system.

The supplied AM 'loop' antenna will usually provide adequate reception. However, an exterior AM antenna can be used to improve reception; consult an antenna professional for more information.

SELECTING THE RADIO

Press the AM or FM key on the C720BEE front panel, the SR-5's [TUNER] key to select the receiver's radio mode. Each subsequent press of [TUNER] key will toggle the unit between its FM and AM bands.

TUNING STATIONS

Press TUNE on the front panel momentarily to step up or down between FM or AM frequencies. Press and hold TUNE for more than 2 seconds to search up or down; the C720BEE's tuner will stop at the next sufficiently strong signal it encounters. Pressing the either TUNE key momentarily during the search process will stop the search. From the SR-5 press [TUNE]; hold in to automatically search, press momentarily to perform slow manual search.

SR-5 DIRECT FREQUENCY ENTRY

With the SR-5 you can now directly enter the frequency of the radio station. When entering digits, more than two will force the direct entry mode. Pressing ENTER will lock the frequency as seen on the C720BEE's VFD. For example; pressing 1021 will force the direct entry to 102.1.

SETTING RADIO PRESETS

The C720BEE can store as many as 40 of your favorite radio stations for immediate recall; 30 FM stations and 10 AM. To store a radio preset, first tune the desired frequency (see above), then press the front panel MEMORY key. Press either PRESET key to select the preset number to be assigned. Then press the MEMORY key once again.

NOTE: The Radio Presets must be stored from the front panel; this setup function is not accessible from the SR-5 remote.
