NOTE:
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.
2 Power/Standby/Protection LED - Upon switching the power on, the LED will light up red for a few seconds before the protection circuit is deactivated. In cases of serious abuse of the amplifier, such as overheating, excessively low loudspeaker impedance, short circuit etc. the amplifier will engage its Protection circuitry, indicated by the LED turning from green to red, and the sound being muted. In such a case, turn the amplifier off, wait for it to cool down and/or check the speaker connections, making sure the overall loudspeaker impedance doesn't go below 4 ohms. Once the cause for the protection circuitry to engage has been removed, press Power again to resume normal operation.
3 BLEND The Blend button toggles between engaging or disengaging the Blend feature; when engaged, "BLEND" lights up in the VFD.
4 DISPLAY When the AM/FM tuner is the selected input, sequentially pressing DISPLAY shows the currently tuned station's RDS data, toggling between the current station's Radio Text and Station Name displays
5 MEMORY Use to store tuned stations to the C720BEE's 40 preset- memory locations.
6 FM MUTE/MODE - In the normal Mute position, only the stations with a strong signal can be listened to, and the noise between stations is muted. Pressing the [FM Mute/Mode] button allows distant (and potentially noisy) stations to be received.
7 PRESET - Press either PRESET buttons to step up or down between radio presets; 30 FM and 10 AM station presets are available. NOTE that this function "wraps": Pressing the PRESET buttons will step from Preset 30 to Preset 1, or vice versa. "Unused" presets are skipped over. (NOTE that Presets must previously have been stored)
8 TUNE - Press either TUNE button momentarily to step up or down between FM or AM frequencies. Press and hold TUNE buttons for more than 2 seconds to search up or down; the C720BEE's tuner will stop at the next sufficiently strong signal it encounters. NOTE that this function, too, "wraps," and will continue searching up or down from one end of the AM or FM band to the other.
NOTE that: TUNE button increments the FM band by 0.05 MHz steps (twice the precision of most tuners). On the AM band, TUNE increments the AM band by 10 kHz or 9 kHz steps. To change the step amount, select AM and then hold in the FM MUTE/MODE and AM keys simultaneously.

The display also has an eight character alphanumeric section, which will display the active input, station name, Radio Text or frequency.
11 RECORD OUT/ZONE 2 SELECTOR - This selector switch doubles as both a record source selector and a second zone source. Control is also achieved by use of the
12 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
