Select desired file to playback. FRANÇAIS MONO • Use “Mono” listening mode when the audio source format is mono. The mono information is replicated on both left and right channels.
OPERATION USING THE M12 ENGLISH EQ SPEAKER SETUP FRANÇAIS The M12 has the following Tone Control levels – Treble, Bass and Balance. Bass and Treble controls only affect the low bass and high treble leaving the critical midrange frequencies free of coloration. The Balance control adjusts the relative levels of the left and right speakers. ESPAÑOL h : Slide to adjust treble, bass or balance level. : Slide to turn ON or OFF Tone Controls.
OPERATION When a Slot line item is selected, the following menu options will manifest. Analog Gain: -12dB to 12dB. Gain adjustment allows all sources to play back at the same volume level so you don’t need to adjust the volume every time a new source is selected. It is generally preferable to reduce the level of the loudest source rather than making louder the softer sources. ENGLISH USING THE M12 Enabled: Source input can be enabled (ON) or disabled (OFF).
OPERATION OTHER FEATURES ENGLISH IR CHANNEL The M12 has the capability to operate via Alternate IR channel. This is practically useful if you have two NAD products that can be operated by similar remote control commands. With alternate IR Channel, two different NAD products can be controlled independently in the same zone by setting each one to a different IR channel. FRANÇAIS IR Channel Assignment The M12 and the HTRM 2 remote control must be set to the same channel.
OPERATION ENGLISH USING THE HTRM 2 REMOTE CONTROL The NAD HTRM 2 is ready to operate the M12 right out of the box, but it is really eight remotes in one. Each of the 8 Device Selector keys at the top of the handset can call up a new “page” of remote control codes to be transmitted by the remaining keys. You may “teach” codes from any infrared-remote controlled component, regardless of brand, to any or all of these.
OPERATION USING THE HTRM 2 REMOTE CONTROL ENGLISH FRANÇAIS LEARNING CODES FROM OTHER REMOTES COPY A COMMAND FROM ANOTHER KEY Begin by positioning the HTRM 2 “nose-to-nose” with the source remote so the two devices’ infrared windows are about 2 inches apart. • Enter Learning Mode: On the HTRM 2, simultaneously press-and-hold for 3 seconds both a Device Selector key and the [RES] key until the Learn LED (located between HTRM 2’s ON and OFF buttons) turns steady green.
OPERATION To perform a factory reset simultaneously press-and-hold for 10 seconds the HTRM 2’s [ON] and [RTN] keys; the Learn LED will start to flash green. Release [ON] and [RTN] before the second flash is complete; the Learn LED will turn red, indicating the remote has been reset. To clear a macro, perform the above steps without entering any functions. NOTE When a macro executes, a 1 second delay is automatically inserted between its commands.
OPERATION USING THE HTRM 2 REMOTE CONTROL ENGLISH FRANÇAIS ESPAÑOL LOADING CODE-LIBRARIES SEARCH MODE The HTRM 2 can store a different library of default NAD codes for each of its Device Selector “pages.” If the original default library does not control your NAD CD player, tape deck, BD player, or other component, follow the procedure below to change the code-library.
OPERATION ENGLISH USING THE HTRM 2 REMOTE CONTROL BATTERY INSTALLATION FRANÇAIS 1 Use the flat or rounded end of a pointed tool to push open the pin of the battery cover. ESPAÑOL 2 Open the battery hatch. DEUTSCH ITALIANO 3 Insert the supplied four AA batteries. NEDERLANDS 4 Push the battery hatch until it clicks close. РУССКИЙ SVENSKA 5 Restore the battery cover.
