narcom 2 remote handset
NARCOM 2 is a multi-functional remote control handset designed to be used with Naim Audio CD
players, integrated amplifiers, pre-amplifiers and preset tuners. The handset control configuration is
based around three types of keys:
System Component Keys, Global Keys and Soft Keys.
1 System Component Keys
These keys switch the operation of the “Soft Keys” into modes appropriate to each system component
(preamp, CD or tuner).
preamp:
Switches the action of the Soft Keys to that appropriate for an integrated or pre-amplifier.
cd:
Switches the action of the Soft Keys to that appropriate for a CD player.
tuner:
Switches the action of the Soft Keys to that appropriate for a preset tuner.
2 Global Keys
These keys operate specific component functions regardless of the System Component Key setting.

position.
mute:
Reduces the amplifier output volume to zero. A second press restores
the volume. The
mute
button on the amplifier will illuminate when mute

bal (left and right):
Adjusts the output channel balance.
Some Naim amplifiers have control of balance available only from the
remote handset. On these products the balance will automatically “centre”
as it reaches the mid point. Balance centring is indicated by a flashing
volume control indicator. To resume adjustment once the balance has
centred,
bal
key must be released and re-pressed.

while recording in order to check the “off-tape” signal. The source to be
recorded is chosen by the input selector buttons in the normal way.
