How to tune and use the FM radio on a NAD 711 amplifier?

Question

Accepted Answer

To tune and use the FM radio on your NAD 711 amplifier, start by connecting the supplied FM antenna to the back of the unit, on the FM connector. This ribbon antenna should be mounted on a vertical surface in a "T" shape for better reception. Experiment with its placement to find the position that offers the best signal and the least background noise.

Turn on the NAD 711 and press the FM button to switch to FM tuner mode. The digital display will show the frequency of the tuned station and the currently selected surround mode (by default, HALL mode is recommended for stereo FM radio).

You have two methods to find an FM station:

Automatic search: Press and hold the TUNE button (+ or -) for more than half a second. The tuner will automatically search for frequencies and stop when it detects a station with sufficient power. The TUNED indicator will appear on the screen.
Manual tuning: Quickly and repeatedly press the TUNE buttons (+ or -) to increase or decrease the frequency in 50 kHz steps and precisely tune in a known station.

To enhance your listening experience, use the FM MUTE/MODE button. In normal mode (FM MUTE ON), the tuner mutes the sound during the search if no station is detected, making it easier to locate strong stations. If you are looking for weak stations, press FM MUTE/MODE to switch to Mute Off/Mono mode, which also disables the stereo function and reduces background noise. When a stereo FM station is received, the STEREO indicator will automatically display.

The NAD 711 offers 30 presets divided into three banks (A, B, C) of ten stations each. To save a found station, press the MEMORY button immediately after finding it. The MEMORY and PRESET indicators will blink for 8 seconds. Press BANK to choose the bank (A, B, or C) where you want to save it, then use TUNE (+ or -) to select the preset number (1 to 10). Press MEMORY a second time to confirm the save.

To recall a stored station, press the PRESET button. The last used preset will be displayed. Press BANK to select the bank containing your station, then use TUNE (+ or -) to scroll through the available presets until you find the desired one. Finally, adjust the volume to a comfortable level using the main volume control.
