NAD has carried forward its highly sensitive RF front end for cleaner reception in fringe areas. Noise is extremely low across the audio spectrum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe C 427 has one of the most intuitive user interfaces in the market, utilizing a 24-position rotary encoder knob to quickly tune stations or select preset stations. All functions are available via the included IR remote control. The rear panel IR input and RS-232 port allow the C 427 to be easily integrated with sophisticated system controllers used in custom installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eIn line with NAD's environmental policy, the company has completely redesigned the power supply for improved efficiency and ultra-low power consumption during standby while still allowing all remote activation and control interfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eLoads of Presets\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eWith 40 presets available, you can store your favorite radio stations. These presets can be any combination of AM and FM stations: 30 presets for FM and 10 for AM, or 25 for FM and 15 for AM, for instance. To avoid having to scroll through 40 presets, the C 427 skips any that have not been programmed (left empty), so you can quickly access all your favorites.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eClean, Convenient Functionality\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eInstead of littering the front panel with buttons and features that are hardly ever used, NAD concentrates on convenience in daily operation with the C 427. The RDS limits itself to the RDS PS and RT function, both of which enhance ease of operation. When you are listening to a station which uses RDS, the RDS PS (Program Service) will automatically indicate the name of the radio station on the display so that you will always know exactly what station you are listening to. With its four-line graphic display, you always see all the available information.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003ePreset information is stored in the C 427's non-volatile memory, which means it will remember all of its preset information even if the unit has been unplugged for a prolonged period of time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\"It's Really Good?\"\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\"After another six months of near daily use, I'm still happy with the C 427.
