During normal operation the standby indicator will
light to show when a signal is being received from the
Remote Control.
CAUTION: When in Standby, power is still supplied
to your NAD-712. You should switch it off using the
front panel Power switch when it is not being used for
long periods of time.
2. PHONES
A 1/4" stereo jack socket is supplied for headphone
listening and will work with conventional headphones
of any impedance. Inserting a headphone jack into
this socket automatically switches off the loudspeak-
ers. The volume and tone and balance controls are
operative for headphone listening. Use a suitable
adapter to connect headphones with other types of
connectors, such as 3.5mm stereo 'personal stereo'
jack plugs.
Warning: Make certain that the volume control is
turned to minimum (fully anti-clockwise) before con-
necting headphones.
Listening at high levels can damage your hearing.
3. EXTRA SPEAKERS
Pressing EXTRA SPEAKERS will switch the sec-
ondary set of loudspeakers on or off. The main
speaker outputs (Speaker A) are always active unless
headphones are being used.
BALANCE AND TONE FUNCTIONS
4. BASS & TREBLE CONTROLS
The NAD-712 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).
5. 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 out-
puts but will affect the signal going to the Pre-amp
output (Pre Out).
INPUT, AND MONITOR SELECTORS
6. TAPE 1 MONITOR, TAPE 2, VIDEO, LD,
AUX, CD
These buttons select the active input to the NAD-
712 and the signal sent to the loudspeakers, the Tape
outputs and the PRE OUT sockets.
LED's inside each button will indicate which input is
currently selected.

TAPE 1 MONITOR Selects the signal from output
of the Tape 1 tape machine for tape playback. This is
a Tape Monitor function and does not override the
current input selection. For example, if the CD is the
active input when TAPE 1 MONITOR is selected,
then the CD signal will continue to be sent to the
TAPE 1, and TAPE 2 OUTPUT sockets whilst, the
sound from Tape 1's Output will be heard on the loud-
speakers.
To show which input is active in when in Tape
Monitor mode, its indicator light will stay lit.
TAPE 2 Selects Tape 2 as the active input.
VCR Selects the VIDEO
TV/Satellite/Cable receiver) connected to VIDEO as
the active input.
LD Selects the Laser Disc (or other line-level
source) connected to LD as the active input.
AUX Selects other line-level sources connected to
AUX as the active input.
CD Selects the CD as the active input.
MONO AND VOLUME
7. 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).
8. MONO
Pressing the MONO button switches the NAD-712
amplifier and tuner sections between Stereo and
Mono. Use the mono switch when the source signal is
present only on one of the input channels (left or right)
or when receiving weak and hissy stereo FM signals.
TUNER AND DISPLAY PANEL
9. DISPLAY PANEL
The Display Panel is active all the time. It displays
the frequency of the station that the tuner section is
currently set to. In STORE and PRESET Modes the
display will flash, alternately showing the current
Preset number and station frequency.
When the NAD-712 is put into Mute mode from the
Remote Control handset a flashing 'MUTE' will be
displayed on the left hand side of the display.
