NAD C426 - Manual (Page 6)

IDENTIFICATION OF CONTROLS
FRONT PANEL
1 STANDBY LED: This indicator will light up amber when the C 426
is in standby state. When the C 426 is at ON state, this indicator will
illuminate blue. This indicator will extinguish itself when the power
cable is unplugged from the AC supply.
2 STANDBY BUTTON: Press this button to turn ON the C 426. The
Standby LED indicator will turn from amber to blue and illuminate the
VFD. Pressing the STANDBY button again turns the unit back to standby
mode.
3 FM/AM: Toggle [FM/AM] button to select AM or FM band.
4 FM MUTE/MODE: The front panel [FM MUTE/MODE] button is a dual-
purpose control. In the normal position, “FM ST” and “FM MUTE” icons on
the VFD are lit; only the stations with a strong signal can be listened to,
and the noise between stations is muted.
Pressing the [FM MUTE/MODE] button again (“FM ST” and “FM MUTE”
icons on the VFD are extinguished) allows distant and potentially noisy
stations to be received. Noise is reduced if the FM station signal level
is less than the FM Stereo threshold (since mono FM is inherently less
noise prone) though at the sacrifice of the stereo effect.
The “FM MUTE” status can be stored for individual presets.
5 BLEND: The NAD BLEND feature will allow you to reduce the amount of
noise and hiss but still retain some level of stereo separation, instead of
mono. The [BLEND] button toggles between engaging and disengaging
the BLEND feature. When engaged, “BLEND” is illuminated in the VFD;
“BLEND” is extinguished when not engaged.
The “BLEND” status can be stored for individual presets.
6 DISPLAY: Use this multifunction button to toggle between RDS PS,
RDS RT and station frequency in FM tuner mode. Refer also to the item
about VIEW RDS TEXT at the LISTENING TO AM/FM RADIO section of the
OPERATION page
.
In combination with [MEMORY] button, [DISPLAY] button is also used in
deleting stored presets.
Refer also to the item about DELETE A PRESET at
the LISTENING TO AM/FM RADIO section of the OPERATION page .
7 MEMORY: Press this button to store tuned AM or FM stations to the
C 426’s 40 preset-memory locations. One can store a mix of any AM or
FM stations to the 40 available presets.
In combination with [DISPLAY] button, [MEMORY] button is also used in
deleting stored presets.
Refer also to the item about DELETE A PRESET at
the LISTENING TO AM/FM RADIO section of the OPERATION page .
8 PRESET/TUNE: Toggle [PRESET/TUNE] button to switch between
“Preset” and “Tune” mode. Select TUNE mode (“TUNE” scrolls through the
VFD) or PRESET mode (“PRESET” scrolls through the VFD).
9 REMOTE SENSOR: Point the TNR 1 remote control at the remote
sensor and press the buttons. Do not expose the remote sensor of the
C 426 to a strong light source such as direct sunlight or illumination.
If you do so, you may not be able to operate C 426 with the remote
control.
Distance: About 23 ft (7 m) from the front of the remote sensor
Angle: About 30° in each direction of the front of the remote sensor
10 VACUUM FLUORESCENT DISPLAY (VFD): Provide visual information
on the settings, conditions, status and other information relevant to the
currently tuned station.
