TAPE TO TAPE COPYING
You can copy between two tape machines connected to your NAD
C740. 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.
11. AM/FM
The AM/FM button switches the tuner from the AM band to the FM
band and vice-versa. The Display Panel shows the frequency of the
tuned station and which band is selected. The FM tuning is in
0.025 MHz increments, AM tuning is in 9 kHz or 10 kHz
increments, depending on the version.
12. BANK
Pressing Bank switches between the C740's three Preset Memory
Banks (A, B or C). Each of these banks can hold up to 10 Preset
stations. These Banks can contain a mix of AM or FM stations
each. The Bank selected is shown in the Display Panel. You can
use the banks to sort your Presets, for instance by station type
(Bank A for rock/pop; Bank B for Classical music; Bank C for
Jazz). Refer to the separate chapter "Storing, recalling and naming
Presets" for more information.
The remote control handset also has a Bank button and performs
the same fuction.
13. SEARCH/PRESET
The Search/Preset button scrolls between three different tuning
modes, each successive push of the button engages the next one
of the three modes.
a) Preset mode: In this mode you can use the Tune/Preset button
(No. 19) to select a Preset. When Preset Mode is selected
"PRESET" lights up in the display.
b) Search mode: By pressing the Tune/Preset button (No. 19)
or you can engage automatic tuning respectively up
or down the frequency band . The tuner will search
automatically for the first reasonably strong radio station,
where it will stop. Press the Tune/Preset button again to start
searching again. "SEARCH" lights up in the display. If a stereo
station is received "STEREO" will light up in red in the display,
unless FM Mute/Mode (No. 16) was engaged.
c) Tune mode: By pressing the Tune/Preset button (No. 19)
or you can engage manual tuning respectively up or down
the frequency band for precise tuning to a specific frequency.
Keep either one of the Tune/Preset buttons pressed until you
are in the proximity of the desired frequency (use the
tune upwards in frequency;
each successive tap of the keys, the tuner will take 0.025 MHz
steps on FM so you can accurately tune into the desired
frequency. For AM the tuning steps can be 9 kHz or 10 kHz,
depending on the version of your C740. This tuning mode can
also be useful when trying to receive a radio station which is
too weak for the Search mode. When tuned accurately to a
station, ">TUNED<" will light up in the display.
NOTE: The remote control handset has preset up/down buttons,
which will allow direct selection of the desired preset. Use of these
buttons will automatically switch the tuner section to Preset mode.
NOTE: The Search/Preset buttons are also used in conjunction
with the Memory (No. 15) and Tune/Search (No. 19) buttons to
add and memorise user defined names to Presets. Refer to the
separate chapter "Storing, recalling and naming Presets" for more
information.

for downwards tuning). With
14. BLEND
Weak or remote stereo radio stations are sometimes received with
noise and hiss as the antenna signal is too weak. By switching the
tuner to mono will reduce the amount of noise and hiss but at the
expense of any stereo information. The NAD Blend feature will
allow you to reduce the amount noise and hiss but still retain
some level of stereo separation, instead of mono.
The Blend button toggles between engaging or disengaging the
Blend feature; when engaged, "BLEND" lights up in the display.
15. MEMORY
The Memory is used to store stations into the three Preset Memory
banks or to store user defined names for non-RDS Preset stations.
Used in conjunction with the Search/Preset (No.13) and
Tune/Preset (No. 19) buttons. When Memory is active, the Preset
number flashes and the red 'MEMORY' indicator is shown in the
Display Panel. Refer to the separate chapter "Storing, recalling
and naming Presets" for more information.
NOTE: The 120V versions (North America) do not have RDS
(Radio Data System).
16. FM MUTE/MODE
This button combines two functions; it switches the tuner from
Stereo to Mono and disengages the muting circuitry at the same time.
The muting circuit will mute the tuner in between radio stations
when searching or tuning. This way the tuning noise is avoided.
Very weak radio station signals however may be suppressed by the
muting circuit. if such a very weak station is in stereo it will have
a high level of background hiss. Switching to Mono Mode and
disengaging the muting circuit by depressing the FM MUTE/MODE
button will allow the station to be heard and will cancel most or
all of this background noise.
In normal operation the mute circuit is engaged, the display
indicates "FM MUTE". Press the FM Mute/Mode button to
disengage the muting circuit and switch from stereo to mono
reception. "FM MUTE" in the display will extinguish. Press the FM
Mute/Mode switch again to return to Auto Stereo FM operation.
17. PS/RT (ON RDS VERSIONS ONLY)
With stations carrying RDS information, The PS/RT button scrolls
between three different display modes, each successive push of the
button engages the next one of the three modes:
a) In the default mode, the station's RDS name is displayed,
Program Service (PS; normally the station's calling letters, BBC
R3, for instance).
b) From the default mode, press the button once to view Radio Text
(RT). This can be additional information such as the presenter's
or program's name; what song is playing, etc. This text scrolls
continuously over the 8 alphanumeric display segments. It takes
a few seconds for the tuner to gather the RT information, so
immediately after tuning to a station and selecting to view RT the
display will indicate "WAIT" and default to the station name.
c) Press the button from the display RT mode to display the station
frequency. Press again to return to the default mode (a).
When tuned to a non-RDS station:
The Display button toggles the display to show either the station
frequency or user entered station name. If no user name was
entered the display will just flash once.
NOTE: The 120V versions (North America) do not have RDS
