5. INPUT SELECTORS
These buttons select the active input to the NAD C 162 and the signal
sent to the Tape outputs and the PRE OUT 1 & 2 sockets. The buttons
on the remote control handset duplicate these buttons, with the
exception of the tuner input; see below. An LED over each input selector
button indicates which input has been selected.
PHONO selects the turntable connected to either the PHONO MM or
MC sockets as the active input. Pressing the DISC button on the SR 5
remote selects the phono 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 pre-amplifier)
connected to the VIDEO sockets, as the active input. Pressing the
VIDEO 2 button on the SR 5 remote selects the VIDEO input.
AUX Selects a line-level source connected to the AUX sockets, as the
active input.
TUNER Selects the tuner (or other line-level source) connected to the
Tuner sockets, as the active input. The remote control handset has
separate buttons for AM and FM; pressing either one will select the
C 162's tuner input.
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 1
sockets. 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 2, and TAPE 1 OUTPUT
sockets, but it is the sound from recorder connected to Tape 1 that will
be heard. Apart from the amber LED to indicate Tape 1 is engaged, the
green LED for the active input will also stay lit.
NOTE
The remote control handset with the C 162 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 C 162. The Video 2 and Video 3 input selector buttons on the
remote control handset are inoperative in the case of the C 162.
6. BASS & TREBLE CONTROLS
The NAD C 162 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.
7. TONE DEFEAT
The TONE DEFEAT switch by-passes the tone control section of the NAD
C 162. 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.

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.
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 2 or TAPE 1 OUTPUTS for recording.
TAPE TO TAPE COPYING
You can copy between two tape machines connected to your NAD
C 162. 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
The Remote Control handset handles all the key functions of the NAD
C 162 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.
