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:
5. INPUT SELECTORS
These buttons select the active input to the NAD C370 and the
signal sent to the loudspeakers, the Tape outputs and the Pre-Out
sockets. The buttons on the remote control handset duplicate
these buttons, with the exception of the tuner input; see below.
Green indicators just above each button show which input is
currently selected.
DISC Selects a line-level source connected to the DISC sockets as
the active input.
CD
Selects the CD (or other line-level source) connected to the
CD sockets, as the active input.
VIDEO
Selects the VCR (or stereo TV/Satellite/Cable receiver)
connected to the VIDEO sockets, as the active input.
AUX Selects a line-level source connected to the AUX sockets, as
the active input.
TUNER Selects the tuner (or other line-level source) connected
to the Tuner sockets, as the active input. The remote control
handset has separate buttons for AM and FM; pressing either one
will select the C370's tuner input.
TAPE 2 Selects Tape 2 as the active input.
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 C370 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 C370. The Video 2 and Video 3 input
selector buttons on the remote control handset are inoperative in
the case of the C370.
6. INFRA-RED REMOTE CONTROL COMMAND
RECEIVER
The infrared sensor, located behind this circular window, receives
commands from the remote control. There must be a clear line-
of-sight path from the remote control to this window; if that path
is obstructed, the remote control may not work.
NOTES: When a command from the remote control is received,
the Stand-by/protection indicator will blink. Note that the
indicator may also blink when receiving commands not
necessarily for the C370 but for other components in the system.
Direct sunlight, very bright or fluorescent ambient lighting may
affect the operating range and angle for the remote control handset.
7. SOFT CLIPPING™ INDICATOR
The green SOFT CLIPPING™ indicator shows that the Soft
Clipping™ mode is engaged. Refer also to chapter "Rear Panel
Connections", section 13; "Soft Clipping™" for more information.
8. BASS & TREBLE CONTROLS
The NAD C370 is fitted with BASS and TREBLE tone controls to
adjust the tonal balance of your system.
The 12 o'clock position is 'flat' with no boost or cut and a detent
indicates this position. Rotate the control clockwise to increase the
amount of Bass or Treble. Rotate the control counter-clockwise to
decrease the amount of Bass or Treble. The Tone controls do not
affect recordings made using the Tape outputs but will affect the
signal going to the Pre-amp outputs (Pre-Out 1 & 2).
9. TONE DEFEAT
The TONE DEFEAT switch bypasses the tone control section of the
NAD C370. If the Tone Controls are not normally used and left in
the 12 o'clock position, then it is advisable to switch out the Tone
Control section altogether by using this switch. In the 'out'
position, the Tone Control circuits are active, pushing the TONE
DEFEAT switch 'in' bypasses the Tone Control section.
10. 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 counter-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 outputs (Pre-Out 1 & 2).
11. 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 outputs (Pre-Out 1 &2).
12. BRIDGE MODE INDICATOR
The BRIDE MODE indicator lights up (amber) when the C370 is
switched to Bridge Mode. Refer also to chapter "Rear Panel
Connections", section 12, "Bridge Mode" for more information.
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
C370. 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.
