NAD 613 CASSETTE DECK

INSTALLATION

The recorder may be installed on any stable sur-

face that is not subjected to vibration or intense mag-

netic fields. It should not be placed directly on a loud-

speaker, 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 locat-

ed away from the amplifier.

WARNING TO UK USERS. If this appartus is not fit-

ted 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 corre-

spond with the coloured markings identifying the ter-

minals 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 con-

nected to the terminal marked N(eutral) or coloured

BLACK. No connection should be made to the termi-

nal marked E or coloured green or green and yellow

PRECAUTIONS

To ensure that maximum performance of the NAD

613 cassette deck is maintained over time, please

bear the following precautions in mind:

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 main-

tenance-free. Additional lubrication can actually cause

malfunctioning.

D. Do not position the deck near equipment with

strong magnetic fields, such as loudspeakers or tele-

visions, 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.

Some models are designed for use only with the

power supply voltage of the region where they are

sold.

European models:

AC 230V, 50Hz

U.S.A. and Canadian models:

AC 120V, 60Hz

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.

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 amplifi-

er. Normally, the red plug is used for the right chan-

nel, the black or white plug for the left channel.

Please refer to figure 1.

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 chan-

nel. 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.

The "NAD Link OUT" connector allows remote con-

trol 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.

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.
