for the desired Memory Bank, The Memory Bank for
that particular input or DSP function has now been pro-
grammed.
4. Repeat procedure to program other Input and DSP
Memory banks.
NOTE: A previously programmed Memory Bank set-
ting will be replaced when re-programming.
TO CALL UP A DSP MEMORY BANK:
1. Select the desired DSP function.
2. Press Memory (6). The pre-amp will change all
settings for that DSP function to the pre-programmed
settings.
3. Press Clear (7) to re-set all settings to the "neutral"
setting or Front Panel (2) to re-set all settings to match
the position of the corresponding controls on the front
panel. Refer also to the sections "Clear" and "Front
Panel".
NOTE: When changing to a different DSP setting
after having called up a DSP Memory Bank, the pre-
amp will also engage the programmed DSP Memory
Bank for the newly selected DSP function.

TO CALL UP AN INPUT MEMORY BANK;

1. Select the desired input.
2. Select the desired DSP function.
3. Press Memory (6). The pre-amp will change first to
the settings for that DSP Memory Bank (see above).
Release Memory and press the selected input button
once again. The pre-programmed Input Memeory Bank
for the selected input has now been re-called.
4. Press Clear (7) to re-set all settings to the "neutral"
setting or Front Panel (2) to re-set all settings to match
the position of the corresponding controls on the front
panel. If Clear has been pressed it is possible to re-call
the Memory Bank by pressing the selected input button
once again. Refer also to the sections "Clear" and
"Front Panel".
NOTE: When changing to a different input after hav-
ing called up a Memory Bank the pre-amp will also

6. ADVANCED OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

This section assumes a considerable understanding
of digital and analogue sound processing and record-
ing. Unless you fully understand the functions and their
backgrounds it is recommended not to change any of
the factory default settings as this can affect perfor-
mance and usability of the pre-amp significantly.
DITHER & DIGITAL RECORD OUTPUT SIGNAL
The NAD Model 118 automatically dithers the digital
signal for both the Digital Record and Digital Pre-amp
Output (3 and 2 on the back panel drawing respective-
ly) from the ADC to 18 bit level (the ADC's resolution).
When Process to Tape (14 on the front panel) is not
selected then a digital signal fed to the pre-amp is
passed straight through to the Digital Record Output.
As the analogue ADC is automatically dithered to 18 bit
level the Digital Record Output will also be dithered.
By engaging Process to Tape (14 on the front panel)
but not engaging DSP the digital signal will be dithered
to 16 bit level. This can be desirable when making digi-
tal copies with a 16 bit resolution digital recorder to
avoid truncating errors. It is also possible to set the
default settings so that the digital recording signal will
always be dithered to 16 bit, regardless of the source's
resolution or of Process to Tape being engaged or not.
Refer also to section "Special functions" below.
Factory default setting & special functions
The unit is factory set in the following configuration:
1. ADC sampling frequency 48kHz.
2. Digital pre-out enabled.
3. Volume control enabled.
4. Process to Tape enabled to pass digital signals
straight through or to add dither to 16 bit level.
5. All DSP function Memory Bank settings to neutral;
Balance to centre position.
6. All analogue input gains to -15dB.
To change the configuration for numbers 1 to 4:
1. Press and hold the Digital Disc input selector but-
ton for 2 seconds; all input selector LEDs will start
