REAR PANEL CONNECTIONS
1. LINE IN . The NAD 6125 is intended to be connected
to I he Tape REC and PLAY (output and input) jacks at the rear
of any conventional stereo amplifier. Insert the phono plugs at
one end of a stereo connecting
cable fully into the LINE IN
sockets on the 6t25 . At the other end of the cable , insert the
plugs into the TAPE OUT or RECord jacks of the amplifier.
Use the color coding of the plugs to identify the channels ;
for instance , if one of the
plugs at each end of the cable is red,
connect the red plug to the R (right channel) socket of both the
amplifier and the NAD 6125.
2 .
LINE OUT . To play tapes, plug one end of a stereo
connecting
cable into the NAD 6125's LINE OUT jacks, and
plug the other end into the TAPE IN, PLAY, or MONitor input
jacks of the amplifier. Make sure that each plug is inserted
fully into its socket, and observe the color coding of the plugs
to ensure that the stereo channels are connected consistently .
3.
AC POWER CORD. Connect the AC power cord to a
convenient
wall outlet or to an "unswitched " AC convenience
outlet at the rear of your amplifier .
A note on fnstallatlon. The excellent performance of
the NAD
6125 stereo tape recorder depends on an array of
precisely machined parts, fine bearings , smoothly polished
surfaces, sensitive detection of the weak magnetic fields in
tape recordings, and amplification of very small signal volt ages . Consequently the recorder's performance can be
adversely aHected by
external magnetic fields, electrical in
terference, vibration, heat , mOisture, or chemical fumes .
Thus if it is placed directly on top of a power amplifier, the
6125 may pick up a low-frequency hum from the ampli fier's
power transformer.
If you wish to install it next to an amplifier on the same shelf , place the 6125 on the left so that its cas
sette compartment will be located away from the amplifier .
The 6125 should not be placed on a loudspeaker or on a
television set (a source of strong magnetic fields as well as
vibration), nor in direct sunlight, nor very
close to a steam
radiator, nor in a workshop where
metal filings and chemicals
are found . The 6125 will function best at temperatures that are
comfortable for people, and it can be stacked or shelved with
the remaining components in your stereo system.
If you are located near a powerful television or radio
transmitter (including a citizen 's band or short-wave unit) you
may pick up interference,
especially when playing previously
recorded tapes.
If you encounter this type of radio-frequency
interference, you may succeed in reducing it by experimenting
with the
location and orientation of the recorder. If the problem
perSists , your dealer or a service shop may be able to add
approved circuit modifications or extra
internal shielding.
Connecting two recorders. Some stereo amplifiers have
two sets of tape inpuVoutput jacks, with
front-panel switching

to permit using either of two tape decks for recording or
playback and to permit copying tapes from one to the other .
If your amplifier has only one set of connections for a tape
recorder , it is still possible to use two recorders with it. The
most convenient and
flexible method is to purchase an exter
nal sWitch-box (Tandy Radio Shack #42-2105 or equivalent),
which
will provide inpuVoutput connections for up to three
re cor ders and
allow copying among them. The alternative methods described below are less flexible, but they cost
less and yield equally good recordi ngs.
Copying. Connect the "copying" recorder (the machine
on which the new copy
will be recorded) to the amplifier's
TAPE recording /playback jacks as described above. Then
connect to the
amplifier's AUXiliary input a cable from the Line
Output jacks of the
"source" recorder (the machine containing
the tape that you want to copy), and switch the amplifier's
Input Selector to AUX.
If
an AUX input is not available, an alternative procedure
is to disconnect the cable from the amplifier 's tape RECord ing output , and connect the "source" recorder 's Line Output
directly to the copying recorder's Line
Input. With this con
nection you must activate the copying recorder's RECORD function in order to monitor the playback output of the
source machine .
Parallel recording . Two recorde rs can be wired in par
allel
to permit simultaneous recording on both. Obtain two "V
connector" adapters, each having two female phono sockets
and one
male phono plug (e.g ., Tandy Radio Shack #42-2436
or equivalent) . Plug one V-connector inlo the Right channel Tape RECording jack of the amplifier , and connect the Right
channel (red) plugs of two stereo cables to the V-connector 's
two sockets .
Plug the other V-connector into the Left channel
Tape REC jack, and connect the left-channel plugs (usually
black) of the two stereo cables to the V-connector's sockets.
Finally, at the opposite end of the two stereo cables , connect
to the Line
Input jacks of the two recorders .
This hookup
allows you to reco rd freely on either ma
chine, or simultaneously on both, but not to copy tapes from
one to the other .
NOTE: This method of parallel connection works well for
recording, but
not for playback. If you use V-connectors to
combine the Line Output signals from two tape decks , each
machine's output will tend to short-circuit the other's,
yielding
a low playback level and possibly higher distortion. Only one
tape deck's Line Output signals can be fed to the amplifier's
Tape PLAY input jacks.
To hear the playback from the second recorder, connect
its Line Output to the amplifier's AUX input . But observe this
precaution : never switch the amplifier 's
Input Selector to AUX
while recording on the machine whose output is connected to
AUX; doing so would create a feedback oscillation that could
damage your loudspeakers .
