4. Adjust the appropriate controls to obtain the
desired settings.
5. Switch on Process to Tape (14); the LED in the
button lights up.
6. Set digital recorder in Record mode and start
recording.
NOTE: If you want to make a straight copy without
making any alterations, skip step 2 to 5. Check also
that the Polarity button (25) is switched off in that case.
MAKING COPIES FROM A DIGITAL TO AN
ANALOGUE RECORDER:
Again, in principle the procedure is the same as mak-
ing a recording from any other source:
1. Select the Digital Tape input (12).
2. Select the desired DSP mode, Polarity and Mono.
3. Switch DSP In (15); the LED in the button lights
up.
4. Adjust the appropriate controls to obtain the
desired settings.
5. Switch on Process to Tape (14); the LED in the
button lights up.
6. Set the recording level controls on the analogue
recorder and start recording. During recording, do not
alter the DSP function settings as this will affect the
recording.
NOTE: If you want to make a straight copy without
making any alterations, skip step 2 to 5. Check also
that the Polarity button (25) is switched off in that case.
5. REMOTE CONTROL
Apart from providing access to almost all features
and functions found on the front panel, the remote con-
trol handset offers a few extra useful functions. The
functions which can be found both on the front panel
and the remote control handset have already been
explained in the various sections above. This sections
concentrates only on the additional features. The num-
bers refer to the Remote Control drawing (figure 3)
unless stated otherwise.
INSERTING BATTERIES
1. On the back of the remote control handset, open
the battery compartment by inserting a fingernail in the
indent, press on the lip of the battery compartment and
lift at the same time.
2. Insert two long-life AA, R6P, R6 or LR6 sized bat-
teries into the compartment with the polarity for each
battery aligned as indicated in the compartment; press
the minus (-) end of the battery firmly against the
spring, then lower the battery inside the compartment.
3. Replace lid.
FRONT PANEL (2)
By using the remote control to change any of the set-
tings for the DSP (Labeled Bass; Mid; Treble), volume
and balance functions, the position of the correspond-
ing controls on the front panel will bear no relation to
the actual setting chosen. The actual setting of a func-
tion is displayed by the LED bar in the display (26 on
the front panel drawing) as the remote control is used
to change that function.
Press Front Panel button (2) to re-set all settings to
match the position of the corresponding controls on the
front panel. Alternatively, touching one of the controls
or buttons on the front panel (apart from the High Gain
button; 21 on the front panel drawing) will also cause
for all settings to default to the front panel control set-
tings.
CLEAR (7)
With the Clear (7) button it is possible to reset
Balance to centre position and all settings for a DSP
function to “neutral”, disregarding the setting of the
DSP function on the front panel, remote control or
selected Memory Bank. To re-set all settings to neutral,
press Clear (7).
NOTE: The Clear function does not operate if the last
control used is Front Panel (2). Touch any of the + or -
controls (11 & 12) for an instant before using Clear.
MEMORY BANKS: STORE (5) & MEMORY (6)
The NAD Model 118 pre-amp has an elaborate mem-
ory which will allow you to store your preferred balance
and DSP settings. The NAD Model 118’s Memory
Banks are non-volatile; even if the unit has been
unplugged from the mains for some time the pre-pro-
grammed Memory Banks settings will be retained.
Programming and recalling Memory banks can only be
done with the remote control. There are two types of
Memory Banks:
MEMORY BANKS FOR EACH INDIVIDUAL
INPUT (INPUT MEMORY BANKS)
These allow you to store your preferred settings for
any DSP function and balance for each individual input.
For instance, for the tape input you might choose to
have balance set slightly towards to the left and add a
bit of bass and treble; whereas you prefer the tuner
input to have balance slightly towards to the right with
less treble and midrange. Refer to table overleaf.
MEMORY BANKS FOR THE DSP MODES AND
BALANCE (DSP MEMORY BANKS)
These allow you to store your preferred settings for
each DSP mode and balance, regardless of the select-
ed input. For instance, you might want to use the Width
& Spread DSP function with the same setting for any
selected input. Refer to table below.
TO PROGRAM A MEMORY BANK
Using the table above you can see which Memory
Banks can be programmed and which buttons on the
remote control have to be used for programming.
Programming can be done from the remote control only
using the Store (5), Memory (6) and any of the eight
Digital and Analogue input select (13) buttons.
1. Select the desired input for which you want a set-
ting to be memorised (only if you want to program an
Input Memory Bank).
2. Select the desired DSP function and adjust the
settings using the remote control (not the front panel
controls) to the setting to be memorised. Do the same
for the Balance control setting.
3. Press Store (5), release and, using the table
above, choose and press the other appropriate button
