NAD C 352 Balance, Volume, Powerdrive, Recording To Make a Recording, Tape to Tape Copying, Mute

9. BALANCE

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).

10. 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 Pre- amp output (Pre Out).

POWERDRIVE

To meet the diverse requirements of high current drive and high dynamic power, our patented PowerDrive amplifier circuit will build further on our reputation for amazingly effective power. By adding a second high-voltage rail to our well regulated high-current power supply, we get an "overdrive" that can nearly double the continuous power on a short term dynamic power basis. This is a further development and refinement of our renowned Power Envelope circuit, utilized by NAD in the 80's and 90's. PowerDrive differs from Power Envelope in that it offers greater amplifier stability and low impedance drive capability, resulting in less distortion when driving real speakers with real program material.

RECORDING

TO MAKE A RECORDING

When any source is selected, its signal is also fed directly to any tape machine connected to the TAPE 2 or TAPE 1 OUTPUTS for recording.

TAPE TO TAPE COPYING

You can copy between two tape machines connected to your NAD C 352. Put the source tape in the recorder connected to Tape 2 and the blank tape into the recorder connected to Tape 1. By selecting TAPE 2 Input you can now record from Tape 2 to Tape 1 and monitor the signal coming from the original tape.

REMOTE CONTROL HANDSET (FIGURE 3)

The Remote Control handset handles all the key functions of the NAD C 352 and has additional controls to remotely operate NAD Tuners, Cassette and CD machines. It will operate up to a distance of 16ft (5m). Alkaline batteries are recommended for maximum operating life. Four

AAA(R 03) batteries should be fitted in the battery compartment at the back 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.

When a command from the remote control is received, the Standby/ protection indicator will blink. Note that the indicator may also blink when receiving commands not necessarily for the C 352 but for other components in the system.

POWER ON AND OFF BUTTONS

The NAD C 352 remote has a separate On and Off button. This can be particularly useful to keep components within a system "in sync": This way all components will switch to stand-by when Off is pressed or switch to operating mode when On is pressed, instead of some components switching On when the amplifier is switched to Stand-by. (Note that the other components have to be capable of responding to the separate On and Off commands as well). Press the ON button to switch the unit from Stand-by to the operating mode; The Stand-by indicator (Fig. 2; No. 2) will turn from amber, to red, then to green and the indicator for the last selected input will blink and light up. Press the OFF button to switch the unit to the Stand-by mode: The Stand-by indicator will light up amber.

MUTE

Press the MUTE Button to temporarily switch off the sound to the speakers and headphones. Mute mode is indicated by the active input indicator on the front panel flashing. Press MUTE again to restore sound. Mute does not affect recordings made using the Tape outputs but will affect the signal going to the Preamp output (Pre Out).

INPUTS

The input selector buttons perform the same functions as the buttons labelled the same on the front panel.

MASTER VOLUME

Press the MASTER VOLUME or buttons to respectively increase or decrease the loudness level. Release the button when the desired level is reached. The motorised Volume Control on the front panel will indicate the level set. The Master Volume buttons do not affect recordings made using the Tape outputs but will affect the signal going to the Preamp output (Pre Out).

TUNER CONTROL

(for use with NAD Tuner)

TUNE or scans respectively higher or lower station frequencies for both AM and FM.

PRESET or selects respectively higher or lower number station preset.

CD PLAYER CONTROL (for use with NAD CD Player)

engages Pause engages Stop

engages Play, toggles between Play and Pause or engages Track skip; Press once to respectively go to the next track or to return to start of current or previous track.

engages CD drawer Open/Close; Press once to open the CD drawer then once again to close the CD drawer and start playback. The TAPE/TUNER - CD switch applies tape controls to the transport keys when in the TAPE/TUNER position, and applies CD controls to the transport keys when in the CD position.
