Nakamichi 730 - Nakamichi 730 Receiver Controls and Features

Controls and Features
The 730 Receiver incorporates touch sensors.
Most of the functions of the 730 can be
controiled by simply touching the appropriate
sensor. Lamps immediately under the sensors
glow to indicate the control status of the 730.
An internal memory retains the contro! status
when the receiver is switched off or disconnect-
ed from an AC outlet. Thus, if the receiver is
tuned to a specific FM station at a specific
volume when you turn it off, it will still be at
that station and volume the next time you turn
it on. Please note that the touch sensors rely on
some residual moisture on the tips of your
fingers. If your hands are extremely cold — as
they might be during the winter months when
you first come in from outdoors—you may
need to rub or otherwise moisten your finger-
tips.
(1) Power Sensor:
Activates the 730 when the master power
-switch (on the rear panel) is in the “ON”
Position. When power is on, the orange indi-
cator lamp immediately beneath the sensor will
glow. A second touch of the power sensor will
turn the 730 off.
(2) Headphone Jacks A and B:
Accept stereo headphones with impedance be-
tween 8 and 250 ohms. Inserting a headphone
plug into jack A will automatically cut off
Output to the speakers. You can use head-
phones and speakers simultaneously by insert-
ing the headphone plug into jack B.
(3) Volume Contro! Sensors:
The outer two volume sensors raise or lower the
volume quickiy. Touching either of the outer
sensors and the center sensor simultaneously
will raise or lower the volume slowly.
(4) Volume Indicator
(5) Volume Scale
(6) Audio Mute Sensor:
The audio mute decreases the volume by 14 dB
when you touch this sensor. Thus, you can
lower the volume temporarily to connect or
disconnect headphones, answer a telephone
call, or change FM stations. To disengage the
audio mute, touch the sensor a second time.
The audio mute indicator light will go out and
the volume level will return to normal.
(7) Function Sensor Group:
By touching the appropriate sensor, you can
select a turntable (“Phono”), either of two tape
decks ("Tape 1° and ‘Tape 2”), FM, or an
auxiliary input (‘Aux’) as the source.

(8) Volume Preset Control:
Sliding the control to the left of its center
detented position decreases the volume and
applies loudness contour compensation. Sliding
the control to the right of the center detent
decreases the volume. You can use the volume
Preset control to supplement the main volume
control. By presetting a certain amount of
loudness compensation or attenuation, you can
establish a comfortabie listening levet at 10”
on the volume scale.

(9) Balance Control:
Sliding the control to the left of its center
detented position moves the stereo image
toward the left speaker by decreasing the
loudness of the right speaker. Sliding the
control to the right of the center detent has the
opposite effect. You can use the balance
contro! to adjust the stereo image for room
conditions and for imbalances in the program
material.
