RECORD only the recording circuits will be activated.
By subsequently pressing PLAY recording will start.
Now the “Record” annunciator together with the play
icon in the display will light up to indicate the record-
ing status.
• Insert a tape as described in the section “tape
replay” above.
• Set the DOLBY NR (17) selector to the desired
type of noise reduction (no noise reduction; OFF, B or
C). Do not change the Dolby NR setting whilst the
deck is recording. Refer to the chapter “How to get
the best performance from your NAD 613 cassette
deck”, section “The Dolby NR noise reduction sys-
tems B & C” for more detailed information.
• Press the RECORD (10) button together with the
PAUSE (7) button; the red annunciator and pause
icon in the display will light up.
• Adjust the recording level using the rotary
RECORD LEVEL (12) control and BALANCE (13)
control.
Refer to chapter “How to get the best performance
from your NAD 613 cassette deck”, section
“Recording level” for more information.
• Start the recording by pressing the PLAY (6) but-
ton.
If you wish to interrupt a recording whilst keeping
the recording circuits and display active, press the
PAUSE (7) button. When you are ready to resume
recording press PLAY (6). This technique is useful for
omitting announcements or commercials when
recording from radio or television.
• To stop recording, press the STOP (5) button.

11. RESET.
Press this button to reset the tape counter to
“0000”. The counter can be re-set at any point while a
tape is playing to mark a particular place on the tape.
The counter is re-set to 0000 after power has been
turned of as well.
12. RECORD LEVEL.
The recording level for both channels can be con-
trolled with this control. The two horizontal bars in the
display give you an exact indication of the record
level during recording. The bars also work during
play-back. These recording level meters are
equipped with an automatic “Peak hold” facility which
will display the highest peak for one second, even if
the peak itself lasted only a fraction of a second to
facilitate accurate read-out. Refer to chapter “How to
get the best performance from your NAD 613 cas-
sette deck”, section “Recording level” for more
detailed information.
13. BALANCE.
The recording balance between left and right chan-
nel can be adjusted using this control. Normally this
control is set at the 12 o’clock position.
Refer to chapter “How to get the best performance
from your NAD 613 cassette deck”, section
“Recording level” for more information.
14. BIAS.
The Bias tuning control allows you to compensate
for almost any brand-to-brand difference in tape sen-
sitivity and frequency response. Turning the control
clockwise will decrease treble (more Bias), turning it
counter clockwise increases treble response (less
Bias). Normally this control should be at the “0” posi-
tion (centre detent). Refer to chapter “Getting the best
performance from your NAD 613 cassette deck” sec-
tion “Bias control” for more information.
15. PLAY TRIM.
Play Trim is a special play-back equalisation circuit
to restore accurate play-back response from pre-
recorded, old and worn tapes, tapes recorded in
another deck, tapes which weren’t recorded properly
(too much or too little bias). This control will allow you
to adjust the deck’s circuitry to ensure proper Dolby
NR tracking for a correct high frequency response.
Refer to chapter “Getting the best performance
from your NAD 613”, section “The Play Trim control”
for more detailed information.
16. REPEAT.
The NAD 613 is equipped with two repeat modes;
repeat the entire side of a cassette or repeat a pre-
selected block 5 times. The REPEAT button scrolls
through three different settings: OFF
FULL
BLOCK
OFF
FULL, etc. (indicated in the dis-
play). Select FULL (either from stop or during play-
back) to repeat the entire cassette.
To repeat a pre-selected block:
• Select BLOCK by pressing REPEAT twice.
BLOCK lights up in the display.
• Press the PLAY button (6) to start play-back.
BLOCK now flashes in the display.

ning of the block. You can press PLAY again to
change the beginning of the block. BLOCK contunues
to flash in the display.

wish to repeat, press the REWIND
button (8).
The block indicator stops flashing and remains lit until
the pre-selected block has been repeated five times
or STOP is pressed.
