NAD 414 RDS STEREO AM/FM TUNER

NOTES ON INSTALLATION.

Your NAD 414RDS should be placed on a firm, level surface. Avoid placing the unit in direct sunlight, near sources of heat and damp or in poorly ventilated positions.

It comes with phono leads for connection to your amplifier. Ensure that leads and connectors are not damaged in any way and all connectors are firmly pushed home.

If the unit is not going to be used for some time, disconnect the plug from the AC socket.

Should water get into your NAD 414RDS, shut off the power to the unit and remove the plug from the AC socket. Have the unit inspected by a qualified service technician before attempting to use it again.

Do not remove the cover, there are no user-serviceable parts inside.

Use a dry soft cloth to clean the unit. If necessary, lightly dampen the cloth with soapy water. Do not use solutions containing benzol or other volatile agents.

QUICK START

1. Use the phono-to-phonoload to connect the NAD 414RDS left & right outputs to the Tuner Input of your amplifier.
2. Plug in the AC power cord.
3. Connect AM and FM antenna.
4. Press the POWER button to turn on the NAD 414RDS.
5. Press the AM or FM button to select AM or FM reception.
6. Use TUNE/PRESET to select a station

REAR PANEL CONNECTIONS.

1. FM ANTENNA

A ribbon wire FM antenna is included and should be connected to the FM connector at the rear of the unit (see fig 1 - Australian versions should use the 'balun' adapter supplied). The ribbon aerial should be mounted on a vertical surface and placed so that it forms a 'T'.

Experiment with placement of the antenna to find the position that gives the best signal strength and lowest background noise. The signal strength meter in the Display Panel will help to indicate the better antenna positions.

An inadequate FM signal normally results in high levels of hiss, especially in stereo, and interference from external electrical sources. In areas of poor FM reception, the tuner section's performance can be improved by using an externally mounted FM antenna. A qualified aerial installer will be able to advise and fit a recommended aerial for your reception conditions.

2. AM ANTENNA

An AM loop antenna is supplied with the NAD 414RDS and is required for AM reception. To connect the AM antenna, first press the keys on the Antenna terminals downwards. Insert the bare antenna wires into the two terminal holes and push the connector keys upwards again to secure the connection.

Test various positions for the antenna but always ensure the loop is placed vertically for best reception. Placing the antenna close to large metal items such as metal shelves or radiators may interfere with reception. (see fig 2)

3. OUTPUT

The 414's analogue audio output. Using twin phono-to-phon leads, connect to the left (white) and right (red) outputs to the Tuner' input or other linelevel input such as Aux' input of your amplifier. Do not connect this cable to the amplifier's PHONO input jacks.

4. NAD-LINK IN OUT

The NAD-Link connector is used to pass commands from other units fitted with NAD-Link connectors. This allows centralised control of a complete system, and also allows some of the basic functions of the NAD 414RDS to be controlled using a NAD-linked amplifier's remote control or gives system control from more than one room. To function with other units, connect the Tuners 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.

5. AC LINE CORD.

Connect this power cord to an AC mains wall outlet

Plug the AC power cord into a live AC wall socket or to an AC convenience outlet at the rear of your amplifier.

FRONT PANEL CONTROLS.

FINDING AND STORING AM & FM STATIONS USING AUTOTUNE.

You can use the SEARCH mode to automatically look for stations, and then use the STORE mode to enter them into the NAD 414RDS memory.

First select the AM or FM band using the AM or FM button. If you want to search for the main stations available in your area, then the NAD 414RDS will search only for strong signals (three or more bars on the Signal Strength Display) and all weak stations will be muted and passed over. If you want to include all signals in the search, no matter how weak, switch the FM Muting off by pressing the FM MUTE button. FM Mute On/Off is shown in the Display Panel.

Now press AUTOTUNE and turn the TUNE/PRESET knob clockwise to search up the frequency band or anti-clockwise to search down the frequency band.

When the tuner finds a broadcast signal of adequate strength (shown by at least three bars of the tuning strength meter and the >TUNE< indicator illuminating) then the automatic search stops at that station. If the station is transmitting RDS information, the RDS indicator will light up and station initials and frequency will be shown in the Display Panel. If a non-RDS station is found, then just the frequency will be shown.

To store that station as a Preset, press MEMORY. The Memory indicator will be displayed and the Preset section will flash in the Display Panel.

Press BANK to select which of the three Banks of Presets you want to store the station into. Turn the TUNE/PRESET knob to select which Preset number you wish to assign to the station (shown as a flashing number in the Display Panel) and then press MEMO-RY again. The Memory light in the Display Panel will go out and the station is now stored in your NAD 414RDS memory.

You can enter a new station into an unused Preset or over-write an existing programmed Memory Preset. By doing this you will replace all the data previously held on that Preset number.

To exit the Memory mode without storing a station, leave all the controls untouched; the Memory mode will automatically cancel itself after 8 seconds. The Memory Presets are held in non-volatile memory, so they will remain stored, even if the Tuner is switched off or unplugged from the mains supply.

SELECTING A PRESET STATION.

To select a Memory Preset station, press the PRESET Button and then select which Bank of Presets you want to use by pressing the BANK button. Turn the TUNE/PRESET knob until the right Preset is found and shown in the Display Panel. Any unused Presets will be skipped and it is not possible to select a Bank unless it has at least one Preset stored into it.

If you want to automatically search the whole bank for a suitable programme, press SCAN. The NAD 414RDS will then scan through all the Preset stations in the current Bank, playing each for 6 seconds. When a suitable programme is heard, press SCAN again to cancel the scanning mode.

DELETEING A STORED STATION.

You can empty a Preset by deleting the stored information. First select the Memory Preset to be emptied and then press the MEMORY button, hold it down and press FM MUTE/MODE. The Memory Preset will then be deleted and '—' appears as the Preset number. You can store a new station into a used Preset, by simply going through the Preset storing process and placing a new station over the existing one.

FINDING AND STORING AM & FM STATIONS USING MANUAL TUNING.

You can also manually TUNE stations and store them into the NAD 414RDS memory.

First select the AM or the FM band using the AM or FM button. Select FM Mute On or Off as required.

Then turn the TUNE/PRESET knob clockwise to search up the frequency band or anti-clockwise to search down the frequency band.

When the tuner is properly locked onto a station then the >TUNE< indicator will illuminate. If you have difficulty tuning between two stations on adjacent frequencies, switch the IF BAND0 to 'Narrow'. This will make it easier for your NAD 414RDS to lock onto the required station.

If the station is transmitting RDS information, the RDS indicator will light up and station initials and frequency will be shown in the Display Panel. If a non-RDS station is found, then just the frequency will be shown.

Store the station into memory in the same way as described in 'Finding And Storing AM & FM Stations Using Autotune.'

STORING A STATION NAME.

When a station is transmitting RDS information, your NAD 414RDS will automatically show the station initials and frequency when its Preset is used. Although the Tuner automatically shows the frequency of any other non-RDS Preset station, it also allows you to type in the station name to make it easier to identify which station is stored in the Memory Preset.

To enter a name, first select the Preset you want to attach a name to. Then press CHARACTER and the first space in the Station Data area of the Display Panel will flash. Turn the TUNE/PRESET knob to select the first character (see Character list for reference). Pressing MEMORY will store the first character and move forward to the next space on the line. Use the TUNE/PRESET knob again to select the next character in the name and press MEMORY to store it. Continue until the station name is complete (up to 8 characters). Press CHARACTER again to store the completed name.

This function is only available for non-RDS stations. RDS stations will always display their transmitted name and this cannot be over-written using CHARACTER.

There are 54 characters available including a blank space.

(show Character set per T-450RDS manual)

USING RDS.

An increasing number of FM radio stations are transmitting additional services and information digitally encoded into the normal FM signal. This Radio Data System (RDS) makes it easier to find the right station by displaying its name and frequency. It can also display the type of programming the station is transmitting, whether it transmits traffic information, and can also display additional text information, such as the title of current track being played.

RDS also makes it easier to find the other stations that may be of interest. Using the SCAN function lets you search for the strongest signal version of the station you are listening to, find other stations with similar types of programme or find other stations that carry traffic information.

There are six RDS Services and although your NAD 414RDS is able to display and use all of these, not every radio station transmits the full six. Some may only send the Programme Service Name and Identification.

The six RDS services are:-

PS Programme Service Name

Shows the station's initials

PTY Programme Type

Shows the type of programme being transmitted. Can be used to search for other similar programmes being transmitted by other stations

TP Traffic Programme

Shows whether the station supplies traffic information. Can be used to search for other stations transmitting traffic information.

AF Alternate Frequencies

Used to search for other frequencies that the current station is being transmitted on.

RT Radio Text

Displays additional information about the current programme such as the programme's name or the name of the current track being played.

CT Clock Time

When an RDS station broadcasting CT information is received, a clock will appear on the display within 1 minute from the time the station is received.

DISPLAYING RDS INFORMATION.

When an RDS station is received, the RDS indicator will show in the Display Panel and your NAD 414RDS will use the Programme Service Name (PS) data to display the station's initials and frequency in the Station Data section of the Display Panel.

You can see the other RDS information by pressing the DISPLAY button.

Pressing DISPLAY once will switch to Programme Identification and display the station's full name, description and frequency.

If no Programme Identification is being transmitted then 'No Text' will be displayed instead.

Pressing DISPLAY again will show the Radio Text information, if transmitted.

If no Radio Text information is being transmitted then either 'No Update' or the current time will be dis

played instead.

It takes two or three seconds for the Radio Text information to be fully transmitted. If the RDS section of the tuner is waiting to be updated then 'WAIT' will appear in the Display Panel.

Pressing DISPLAY three times will display the frequency that your NAD 414RDS is tuned to.

For non-RDS stations, the DISPLAY button will switch between displaying the user-entered station name (if any) and the frequency.

USING RDS TO SEARCH FOR STATIONS AND INFORMATION.

RDS offers a facility to automatically search for other stations that are transmitting similar programming, or are provide traffic information or are stronger transmissions of the same station on alternative frequencies.

To use RDS to search for stations transmitting similar types of programme type, press the PTY TP AF Button once. The current station's programme type will be displayed for two seconds in the Station Data section of the Display Panel (see list below). Press SCAN while this is displayed and your NAD 414RDS will automatically search for other RDS stations transmitting the same programme type. Each matching station is heard for six seconds and its frequency flashes, then Scan goes on to the next station that is transmitting the same programme type. Press SCAN again to stop the scanning process on a particular station.

If you want to search for a particular programme type then press the PTY TP AF Button once and then use the TUNE/PRESET knob to choose the programme type. Press SCAN to find any matching programmes.

To use RDS to search for stations transmitting traffic information (usually after news bulletins), press the PTY TP AF Button twice and press SCAN. Your NAD 414RDS will search out the first RDS station that includes traffic information in their broadcasts. ^TP^ indicates an RDS station that includes traffic information, 'TP' indicates an RDS station that does not give out traffic information or a non-RDS station.

To use RDS to search for a stronger signal for the current station, press PTY TP AF Button three times

and press SCAN. Your NAD 414RDS will search out the strongest signal for the current station.

This is normally used on In-Car systems to automatically switch to the strongest version of a national radio station when travelling. But it can be used to check that you are tuned to the optimum signal for that particular station.
