7. TONE DEFEAT
The TONE DEFEAT switch by-passes the tone control section of the
NAD C340. 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.
8. 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 anti-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
output (Pre Out).
9. 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 output (Pre Out).
On the remote control handset, press the MUTE Button to
temporarily switch off the sound to the speakers and headphones.
Mute mode is indicated by the active input LED flashing. Press
MUTE again to restore sound. Mute does not affect recordings
made using the Tape outputs but will affect the signal going to the
Pre-amp output (Pre Out).
TO MAKE A RECORDING
When any source is selected, its signal is also fed directly to any
tape machine connected to the TAPE 1 or TAPE 2 OUTPUTS for
recording.
TAPE TO TAPE COPYING
You can copy between two tape machines connected to your NAD
C340. Put the source tape in the recorder connected to Tape 1 and
the blank tape into the recorder connected to Tape 2. By selecting
TAPE 1 Input you can now record from Tape 1 to Tape 2 and
monitor the signal coming from the original tape.
