If Speakers A and B are both engaged (both indicators over the Speakers A and B buttons are lit), the amplifier's output power is fed to both sets of speakers in parallel. If speakers A and B are disengaged, both sets of speakers are silenced. You can use this setting mode to listen to headphones (No. 3).
NOTES: Always turn the volume down when engaging or disengaging either Speaker A or Speaker B. When using Speakers A and B at the same time, make sure that the total impedance of the speakers connected is more than 8 ohms. Refer to the table below:

One speaker 81 minimum | One speaker 41 minimum |
Two speakers 161 minimum | Two speakers 81 minimum |
5. INPUT SELECTORS
These buttons select the active input to the NAD C 372 and the signal sent to the loudspeakers, the Tape outputs and the

TAPE 1 Monitor Selects the output from a tape recorder when playing back tapes or monitoring recordings being made through the Tape 1 sockets. Press the Tape 1 button once to select it and again to return to the normal input selection.
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 indicator to show Tape 1 is engaged, the green indicator for the active input will also stay lit.
NOTE: The remote control handset with the C 372 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 C 372. The Video 2 and Video 3 input selector buttons on the remote control handset are inoperative in the case of the C 372.
