DELETING A STORED PRESET
You can empty a Preset by deleting the stored information:
· Select the Preset to be emptied.
· Press and hold the Memory button (No. 4) and Display button
(No.7) for two seconds. The preset number and the text
"DELETE" will flash in the display.
· Press only the display button again (within default time of 8
seconds) to confirm you want to delete this preset. The text
"DELETED" and "--" as the Preset number appear in the
display for a couple of seconds.
LABELLING A PRESET
When a station is transmitting RDS information, your NAD C730
will automatically show the station initials. Although the Tuner
automatically shows the frequency of any other AM or non-RDS
Preset station, it also allows you to type in the station name to
make it easier to identify which station is stored in the Memory
Preset. To enter a name:
1) Select the Preset you want to attach a name to.
2) Press and hold the Display button (No. 7) for two seconds. The
first space in the Station Data area of the Display Panel will
flash.
3) Press either the Tune/Preset
or
(No. 9) button to
scroll and select the first character (see Character list below
for reference).
4) Press Display to move one place to the right to enter the next
desired character.
5) Use the Tune/Preset buttons again to select the next character
in the name.
6) Repeat steps 3 to 5 until name is complete or all eight places
have been filled (up to 8 characters).
7) Press Memory once to finish the labelling procedure. Press
Memory again to store the completed name.
There are 37 characters available including a blank space.
NOTE:
This function is only available for non-RDS stations. RDS
stations will always display their transmitted name and cannot be
over-written.
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 on the
rear panel for recording.
TAPE TO TAPE COPYING
You can copy between two tape machines connected to your NAD
C730. Put the source tape in the recorder connected to Tape 2 and
the blank tape into the recorder connected to Tape 1. By selecting
TAPE 2 Input, you can now record from Tape 2 to Tape 1 and
monitor the signal coming from the original tape.
REMOTE CONTROL HANDSET (FIG 4)
The Remote Control handset handles all the key functions of the
NAD C730 and has additional controls to remotely operate NAD
Tuners, Cassette and CD machines. It will operate up to a distance
of 16ft (5m). Alkaline batteries are recommended for maximum
operating life. Two AAA (R 03) batteries should be fitted in the
battery compartment at the rear of the Remote Control handset.
When replacing batteries, check that they have been put in the right
way round, as indicated on the base of the battery compartment.
Please refer to previous sections of the manual for a full
description of individual functions.
When a command from the remote control is received, the Stand-
by/protection indicator will blink. Note that the indicator may also
blink when receiving commands not necessarily for the C730 but
for other components in the system.
1. STANDBY/ON BUTTON
When the amplifier is switched On, pressing the green On/Off
button on the remote handset will put the NAD-370 into Standby
mode and the Power indicator will turn amber. The amber Power
indicator shows that power is being supplied to the NAD-370, but
the system is currently in the Standby Mode. Press again to switch
the amplifier On from Stand-by mode.
2. POWER ON & OFF
Besides the On/Off toggle function of the green button (No. 1), the
NAD C730 remote also has a separate On and Off button. This can
be particularly useful to keep components within a system "in-
sync": This way all components will switch to stand-by when Off is
pressed or switch to operating mode when On is pressed, instead
of some components switching On when the amplifier is switched
to Stand-by. (Note that the other components have to be capable
of responding to the separate On and Off commands as well).
Press the ON button to switch the unit from Stand-by to the
operating mode; The Stand-by indicator (Fig. 2; No. 2) will turn
from amber to green and the indicator for the last selected input
will blink and light up. Press the OFF button to switch the unit to
the Stand-by mode: The Stand-by indicator will light up amber.
3. SPEAKERS A & B
These buttons are inoperative on the C730
4. MUTE
Press the MUTE Button (No. 4) to temporarily switch off the sound
to the speakers and headphones. Mute mode is indicated by
"MUTE" flashing in red in the display area. 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).
5. INPUTS
The input selector buttons (No. 5) perform the same functions as
the buttons labelled the same on the front panel. There are a few
differences and extra functions with the remote control handset
however:
The TUNER AM & FM buttons select the Tuner input and
respectively the AM or FM waveband. The receiver will tune to the
last station selected on either AM or FM band.
NOTE:
The Video 2 and Video 3 input selector buttons are
inoperative.

13. INPUT SELECTORS
These buttons select the active input to the NAD C730 and the
signal sent to the loudspeakers, the Tape outputs and the PRE OUT
sockets. The buttons on the remote control handset duplicate
these buttons, with the exception of the tuner input; see below.
The display indicates which input has been selected.
DISC Selects a line-level source connected to the DISC sockets as
the active input.
CD Selects the CD (or other line-level source) connected to the
CD sockets, as the active input.
VIDEO Selects the VCR (or stereo TV/Satellite/Cable receiver)
connected to the VIDEO sockets, as the active input.
AUX Selects a line-level source connected to the AUX sockets, as
the active input.
TUNER Selects the tuner as the active input. The receiver will
return to the last selected preset or frequency. The remote control
handset has separate buttons for AM and FM; pressing either one
will select the tuner as the active input and revert to the last station
tuned to on respectively the AM or FM band.
TAPE 2 Selects Tape 2 as the active input.
TAPE 1 Monitor Selects the output from a tape recorder when
playing back tapes or monitoring recordings being made through
the Tape 1sockets. Press the Tape 1 button once to select it and
again to return to the normal input selection.
Tape 1 is a tape Monitor function which does not override the
current input selection. For example, if the CD is the active input
when TAPE 1 is selected, then the CD signal will continue to be
selected and sent to both the TAPE 1, and TAPE 2 OUTPUT sockets,
but it is the sound from recorder connected to Tape 1 that will be
heard on the loudspeakers. When Tape 1 Monitor is selected,
"TAPE 1" is indicated in the alphanumeric section of the display
for 3 seconds before it defaults to indicating the active input again.
The red box next to the preset number section in the display
indicating "TAPE MONITOR" will remain lit until Tape 1 is
disengaged again.
NOTE:
The remote control handset with the C730 supplied is of a
universal NAD type, designed to operate several NAD models. Some
buttons on this handset are inoperative as the functions aren't
supported by the C730. The Video 2, Video 3 input selector
buttons, tuner Bank button, speakers A and Speakers B buttons on
the remote control handset are inoperative in the case of the C730.
NOTE:
Make certain that the volume control is turned to
minimum (fully anti-clockwise) before connecting or
disconnecting headphones. Listening at high levels can damage
your hearing.
14. BASS & TREBLE CONTROLS
The NAD C730 is fitted with BASS and TREBLE tone controls to
adjust the tonal balance of your system.
The 12 o'clock position is "flat" with no boost or cut and a detent
indicates this position. Rotate the control clockwise to increase
the amount of Bass or Treble. Rotate the control anti-clockwise to
decrease the amount of Bass or Treble. The Tone controls do not
affect recordings made using the Tape outputs but will affect the
signal going to the Pre-amp output (Pre Out).
15. TONE DEFEAT
The TONE DEFEAT switch by-passes the tone control section of the
NAD C730. 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.
16. 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).
STORING, RECALLING
AND LABELLING PRESETS
Up to 30 presets in total can be stored in the C730's memory bank;
these can be any mix of either AM or FM stations. When scrolling
through the presets, empty preset places will be skipped; it is thus
possible to go from preset No. 4 to No. 7 without having seen No.
5 and 6. With the presets you can also store whether you want
Blend (No. 3) and FM Mute/Mode (No. 5) to be activated as well
every time you recall the preset.
TO STORE A PRESET
· Tune to the radio station you wish to enter into a Preset (refer
to this chapter's section 9). If the station is transmitting RDS
information, the RDS indicator will light up and station initials
or name will be shown in the Display Panel. If a non-RDS
station is found, then just the frequency will be shown.
· Select Blend (No. 3) or FM Mute/Mode (No. 5) if desired.
· To store that station as a Preset, press Memory (No. 4). The
Preset number and the red "MEMORY" indicator are flashing
in the Display Panel. The lowest available empty preset number
will be shown. If no other buttons are pressed within 8
seconds, the tuner will revert to its previous state.
· Press Memory again to store the preset. If you wish to assign a
different preset number, press either the Preset/Tune
or
button to select the desired preset number. You can over-
write an existing preset. If the preset number already has been
assigned, "MEMORY" will stop blinking, but the preset will
continue to blink. When you have selected the desired preset
number, press Memory again to store the station.
NOTES:
You can enter a new station into an unused Preset or
over-write an existing programmed Memory Preset. By doing this
you will replace all the data previously held on that Preset number.
When Memory is pressed during normal operation, the Preset
number and the red "MEMORY" indicator will flash in the Display
Panel. If no other buttons are pressed within 8 seconds, the tuner
will revert to its previous state. The Memory Presets have a memory
back-up, so they will remain stored for several weeks even if the
Tuner is switched off or unplugged from the mains supply.
RECALLING A PRESET
· To select a Preset station, check if Preset mode is engaged (the
display indicates "PRESET"). If not, press the Preset/Tune
Mode button (No. 8); "PRESET" will now light up in the
display.
· Press either the Preset/Tune
or
buttons (No. 9)
until the right Preset is found and shown in the Display Panel.
Any unused Presets will be skipped; this avoids having to scroll
through empty presets.
