GB INSTALLATION NAD 613 CASSETTE DECK European models: U.S.A. and Canadian models: AC 230V, 50Hz AC 120V, 60Hz The recorder may be installed on any stable surface that is not subjected to vibration or intense magnetic fields. It should not be placed directly on a loudspeaker, a television set, or a large power amplifier where it might pick up hum from the amplifier's power transformer. if you wish to install the recorder next to an amplifier on the same shelf, place the recorder on the left so that its cassette compartment will be located away from the amplifier. WARNING TO UK USERS. If this appartus is not fitted with a UK three-pin plug, do not attempt to insert the attached plug into a UK mains socket. Instead, cut the plug from the mains lead and attach a fused UK three-pin plug using the following safety advice on wiring. IMPORTANT. The wires in this mains lead are coloured BLUE and BROWN; BLUE: NEUTRAL BROWN: LIVE The colours of these mains lead wires may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug. In this case the BROWN wire must be connected to the terminal which is marked L(ive) or coloured RED. The BLUE wire must be connected to the terminal marked N(eutral) or coloured BLACK. No connection should be made to the terminal marked E or coloured green or green and yellow THE CASSETTE TAPES A. Store the cassette tapes in their jewel case, away from dust. Never store tapes in direct sunlight or very hot places. B. Always use cassette tapes of a good quality. Besides mediocre results, poor quality tapes can cause excessive head wear. C. Never touch the exposed tape itself or take it out of its cassette casing. D. In most cases the cassette tape has a five to eight second leader tape at both the beginning and end of a cassette tape. As you cannot record on this leader tape, be sure to commence recording beyond this tape. REAR PANEL CONNECTIONS & CONTROLS. The numbers in the text refer to the connections in figure "REAR PANEL CONNECTIONS" This cassette deck can be connected to almost all pre-amplifiers, integrated amplifiers or receivers. Ensure the plugs are fully inserted and the recording and playback cables are connected properly. PRECAUTIONS To ensure that maximum performance of the NAD 613 cassette deck is maintained over time, please bear the following precautions in mind: 1. INPUT. Connect a cable from the deck's "LINE IN" jacks at the rear panel to the TAPE OUT or REC jacks of your amplifier. Connect the left channel of the deck to the left channel of the amplifier and connect the right channel of the deck to the right channel of the amplifier. Normally, the red plug is used for the right channel, the black or white plug for the left channel. Please refer to figure 1. THE DECK A. Make sure the heads and transport are cleaned regularly. Please refer to page 8. B. Demagnetise both heads and tape guidance from time to time. Please refer to page 8. C. The bearings and other moving parts have been treated with special lubricants and are therefore maintenance-free. Additional lubrication can actually cause malfunctioning. D. Do not position the deck near equipment with strong magnetic fields, such as loudspeakers or televisions, etc. E. Place the deck on a solid, flat surface. F. Avoid dirt, dust, sand, etc. from entering the deck. G. Avoid placing near transmitters: they can generate high frequencies which may cause malfunctioning of the deck. H. Ensure the cassette deck compartment lid is closed when the deck is not in use. Open it only for taking a cassette in or out, or for cleaning the heads and tape guides. I. Do not place the deck directly on top of a (power) amplifier or receiver. The deck may pick up hum from the amplifier's power transformer. Some amplifiers can also generate a fair amount of heat, even when on stand-by. WARNING : BEFORE PLUGGING IN THE UNIT FOR THE FIRST TIME, READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY. 2. OUTPUT. Connect a cable from the deck's "LINE OUT" jacks at the rear panel to the TAPE IN, PLAY, or MONITOR jacks of your amplifier. Connect the left channel of the deck to the left channel of the amplifier and connect the right channel of the deck to the right channel of the amplifier. Normally, the red plug is used for the right channel, the black or white plug for the left channel. Please refer to figure 1. 3. NAD LINK. The "NAD Link IN" connector allows the NAD 613 to be operated by external remote control signals passed from another NAD remote control component featuring NAD Link, e.g. AV 716 receiver. NAD Link works in a "daisy chain" fashion, connections going from one unit to the next one. Many NAD receivers and AV components come supplied as standard with an NAD system remote control which sports buttons for most used tape transport functions (Play, Record, Fast Forward, Rewind, Stop, etc.). It is recommened that the NAD 613 is the second unit in the daisy chain after the "master" unit, usually a receiver. Connect a cable from the master unit Link Out (e.g. the AV 716) to the NAD Link IN jack on the 613. Some models are designed for use only with the power supply voltage of the region where they are sold. NAD 4 GB The "NAD Link OUT" connector allows remote control commands to be relayed from the 613 to other products equipped with a NAD Link (or compatible) input. For example, you can operate a CD player, a tuner and this cassette deck from a single system remote control. Connect a cable from the recorder's NAD Link OUT socket to the NAD Link IN jack on another product. and manually wind the tape spool until any slack is taken up. · Switch on the unit by pressing the POWER (1) switch. After use, the unit can be switched off by pressing the button again. · Press the OPEN (3) button to release the cassette compartment door and insert the tape with the thick edge -where the tape is exposed- downwards. The cassette tape is held in a carrier within the door assembly. Refer to figure 2. · Press the cassette compartment door shut until a light "click" is heard. The tape is now in position. · The tape can be removed by again using the OPEN (3) button. 4. POWER. Connect the AC mains cable to a convenient wall socket or to an AC convenience outlet at the rear of your amplifier or receiver. FRONT PANEL CONTROLS The numbers in the text refer to the controls in figure "FRONT PANEL CONTROLS". Please note the button doesn't work during tape travel. · Reset the tape counter (in the display) to "0000" by pressing the RESET (11) button. · Select the appropriate DOLBY NR (17) position (Dolby NR Off, Dolby B NR or Dolby C NR) to suit the particular tape you wish to play back. Refer to the chapter "How to get the best performance from your NAD 613 cassette deck" section "Dolby NR noise reduction systems B & C" for more information. · Press the PLAY (6) button to engage tape transport. The play icon in the display will light up to indicate the play status. · If the recording sounds dull, turn the PLAY TRIM control (15) up (clock-wise) to restore accurate highs.
