8. TAPE 2 IN, OUT
Connections for analogue recording and playback to a secondary audio
tape recorder of any type. Using twin RCA-to-RCA leads, connect to
the left and right 'Audio Outputs' of the tape machine to the TAPE 2 IN
connectors for playback. Connect the left and right 'Audio Inputs' of
the tape machine to the TAPE 2 OUT connectors for recording.
9. TAPE 1 IN, OUT
Connections for analogue recording and playback to an audio tape
recorder of any type. Using twin RCA-to-RCA leads, connect to the
left and right 'Audio Outputs' of the tape machine to the TAPE 1 IN
connectors for playback and tape monitoring. Connect the left and
right 'Audio Inputs' of the tape machine to the TAPE 1 OUT
connectors for recording.
10. PRE 1, PRE 2 OUT (UNBALANCED)
Connections for an external power amplifier, processor or active
speakers. Use twin RCA-to-RCA leads to connect to the left and right
'Audio Inputs' of the power amplifier, processor or active speakers to
the PRE 1 or PRE 2 OUT connectors.
The PRE 1 and PRE 2 OUT sockets carry the same signal and may be
used simultaneously for e.g. bi-amping.
The PREOUT output signal is controlled by the S100's volume and
balance control settings. These sockets provide connections to
amplifiers, active speakers and processors requiring an unbalanced
RCA connections.
11. BALANCED OUTPUT
Connections to an external power amplifier or processor that uses
balanced XLR connectors. These are fully balanced XLR outputs,
suitable to drive most balanced hi-fi and professional amplifiers.
The wiring standard used for these connectors is:
Pin 1 Chassis Earth (Ground)
Pin 2 Hot (Live )
Pin 3 Signal Ground (Return)
12. NAD-LINK IN, OUT
The NAD-Link connector is used to pass commands from the remote
control to and from other units fitted with NAD-Link connectors. This
allows centralised control of a complete system or gives system control
from more than one room. To function with other units, connect the
S100's NAD-Link OUT to the NAD-Link IN on the other unit. NAD-Link
connectors can be daisy-chained, IN to OUT, so that a whole system
can be controlled from the remote control facilities of one unit.
A single NAD-Link connection from a hi-fi system in a second room
will allow remote control of Multi Room systems.
FRONT PANEL CONTROLS
1. POWER
Pressing the POWER button turns the unit On and after a few
seconds, the Power indicator LED will extinguish. Pressing the
POWER button again will turn the preamplifier Off.
When the S100 is switched On, pressing the Standby button on the
remote handset will put the S100 into Standby mode and the Power
indicator will light up blue. The blue Standby indicator shows that
power is being supplied to the S100, but the system is currently in
the Standby mode.
All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com
CAUTION: When in Standby mode, power is still supplied to your
S100. You should switch it Off using the front panel POWER button
when it is not being used for long periods of time.
2. REMOTE SENSOR
Sensor for receiving the infrared signals from your remote control
handset. The LED above the sensor flashes to confirm infrared
reception.
3. INPUT SELECTORS
These buttons select the active input to the S100 and the signal sent
to the TAPE outputs, the PRE 1 & PRE 2 OUT and XLR output sockets.
LEDs over each button will indicate which input is currently selected.
PHONO/AUX 2 Selects the source connected to the PHONO/AUX 2
input. With the optional S100 Phono Module installed, a turntable
Phono with either an MM or MC cartridge can be connected.
Without the optional Phono Module installed you can use this input
for any line-level source.
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 VCR sockets as the active input.
AUX 1 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.
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 MONITOR button once to select it
and again to return to the normal input selection.
TAPE 1 MONITOR is a tape monitor function which does not override
the current input selection. For example, if CD is the active input
when TAPE 1 MONITOR 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 the recorder connected to TAPE 1
that will be heard on the loudspeakers.
To show which input is active in when in tape monitor mode, its
indicator light will stay lit.
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 S100.
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 source tape.
Also you can use TAPE 1 as the source and copy to TAPE 2 but TAPE
1 MONITOR Input has to be selected for the duration of the
recording.
CAUTION: WHEN TAPE 2 IS SELECTED, ONLY ONE TAPE MACHINE
SHOULD BE SET IN RECORD MODE. IF BOTH ARE SET IN RECORD
MODE, WITH TAPE 2 SELECTED, A FEEDBACK LOOP RESULTS
WHICH MAY CAUSE A LOUD "WHISTLE" OR "HOWL" ,
POTENTIALLY DAMAGING YOUR AMPLIFIER OR LOUDSPEAKERS.
