[CLM in ND]

A while back I switched on my NAD 412 tuner. I didn't push the button
in all the way so it didn't power up. I turned it on again & all of
the sudden, the AM tuner section was on the European AM scale of 9kHz
increments. What happened? Is there anyway I can correct this? I
opened it up because I thought there was a switch I could flip, but I
couldn't find one. Any help you could give me would be greatly
appreciated.

Hello,

From the service manual:

"To change AM steps from 9kHz to 10kHz and visa versa, press the MODE
and SCAN UP buttons simultaneously for three seconds."

Obviously, you should do this with the tuner turned on. You might have
to power it down for the change to take effect, I'm not sure.

Happy holidays,

Were you possibly accidently pressing some other button
while powering up? This is sometimes a trick they use, where
holding down one of the buttons while powering-up changes
something. You could try holding down each different button
while powering up to see if that changes it. (Or maybe changes
something else, too, so you could look at it as an adventure. :-)

Alternatively, the manual appears to be available on eBay.

Mircacle! I can't thank you enough. I hope you have the best
Christmas & New Year in history. Thanks again. I hope you fall into a
huge pile of money!
