The NAD HTR 3 is ready to operate NAD components right out ofthe box, butit is really eight remotes in one. Each ofthe 8 DEVICE SELECTOR keys at the top of the handset can call up à new”page”of remote control codes to be transmitted by the remaining 44 keys. You mayteach' codes from any infrared remote controlled component, regardless of brand, to any or allofthese Obviausly the most logical system is that you teach the codes from your DVD player to the [DVD] DEVICE SELECTORpage” your television codes to the [TV]'page” and so on, but there is no required scheme: You may load any commandks to any key on any page (see“Leaming Codes From Other Remotes' below) The HTR3 is already pre-programmed with a full complement of NAD receiver command on its [AMP] DEVICE SELECTOR page, and as well as with library command to operate most NAD- brand DVD or CD components on the corresponding DEVICE SELECTOR pages’ These default command are permanent: Even if you teach the HTR 3 new commandé to take their place, the underhing library commands remain in place and can easiy be recalled should you add an NAD component to your system later (ee"Delete Mode” below.

GETTING FAMILIAR WITH THE HTR 3

The HTR3 is diided into two main sections. Eight DEVICE SELECTOR keys at the top—{AMP] [DVD] [TV] and s0 on—set the handsets remaining keys to apage” of commands to control à particular component. A DEVICE SELECTOR key determines only what component the HTR 3 will command; it does not perform any function on the component. Al of the remaining Keys are function keys that can'leam' control codes from virtual any infrared remote contraller allowing you to teach the codes of your equipment, regardiess of brand, to the HTR 3. All ofthe function keys on the [AMP] DEVICE SELECTOR page” are pre-programmed to control NAD amplifirs, preamplifiers and receivers The HTR 3 can also command many other NAD components from its DVDI, CDI, TUNER] and [CUSTOM] pages: Itis important to note that certain HTR 3 keys perform different functions depending on the selected DEVICE SELECTOR “page” The color of the DEVICE SELECTOR key-labellng corresponds to the labeling ofthe function keys. Most central the black TAMP] DEVICE SELECTOR page" corresponds to the black as well as white input-select labelling above the numeric keys: When the HTR 35 [AMP] DEVICE SELECTOR page is active: these keys select the amplier or receiver inputs. Similay, the purple DVD] DEVICE SELECTOR “page corresponds to several purple labels, the green [TV] page to green labels, and so on. R3_eng OM_vO2.indd 3 TI8IO7 22:03:2

Begin by positioning the HTR 3“nose-to-nose"with the source remote so the to devices‘infrared windows are about 2 inches apart. + EnterLeaming Mode: On the HTR 3, simultaneously press and-hold for 3 second both a DEVICE SELECTOR key and the (RES) key (just below the DISP key) until he Learn LED atthe center ofthe HTR 3 tums steady green. + Press the HTR 35 function key you wish to teach a command: the Learn LED will turn amber. + Press-and-hold the function key on the source remote: The HTR 35 Learn LED wil icker amber for a second or two, then turn solid green. The command is learned + Pressthe HTR 35 DEVICE SELECTOR key again to exit the learning mode. Ithe Learn LED does not ficker amber you may need to vary the distance between the remotes. Ifthe Learn LED turns red rather than green, that particular command of that source remote command could not be learnedi.In rare instances, there maybe some IR format that is not compatible with the HTR 3. Example: Learning"DVD Pause” Position the HTR 3 and your DVD playeré remote as described above. + OntheHTR3,simultaneousty press-and-hold DVD] and IRESI:the Learn LED turns steady green. + Press the HTR 35 Pause [HI] key:the Learn LED turns amber. + Press-and-hold the corresponding Pause key of your DVD players remote control the HTR 35 Learn LED flckers amber and then turns solid green. The command is learned. + Press IDVD] again to exit the learning mode CANCEL OPERATION You can cancel configuring a key, by pressing the active DEVICE SELECTOR key before the learn process is complete: the Learn LED wil turn red. PUNCH THROUGH The HTR 35”punch-through" function allows you to retain à function key from one Device Select'page”to another, so that for example, the AMP [SUR MODE] function might still control the NAD AW receïver when the DVD DEVICE SELECTOR page is active. NOTE The HTR 35 [VOL] keys are pre-programmed as “punched- through" for all Device Select pages: VOL] will operate the NADS master volume regardes ofthe current} selected device. The [SURR] (CENTER, and [SUB] Channel Volume controls similarly are pre-programmed as punched-through. To set a punch through, after entering the Learning Mode, and pressing the desired key to be punched through, simply press the device key twice of the device to punch through to. The status LED will turn green; press the DEVICE SELECTOR key again to exit Learning Mode. Example: Punch-through AMP [SUR MODE] key to the DVD “page” + OntheHTR3,simultaneousty press-and-hold DVD] and TRESI:the Learn LED turns steay green. + Press ISURR MODE]:the Learn LED turns amber. + Press [AMP] twice;the Learn LED turns green. + Press IDVD] again to exit the learning mode R3_eng OM_vO2.indd 4 TI8IO7 22:03:2

You may copy a command from any HTR 3 key to any other. To copy a key function, after entering the Leaming Mode, and pressing the desired key to be copied to, simply press the device key from which you wish to copy, having first pressed its DEVICE SELECTOR key fit resides on another"page"The status LED willturn green; press the DEVICE SELECTOR key again to exit Learning Mode: Example: Copy the Pause command from the CD page to the AMP [II] button: + Onthe HTR3,simultaneousiy press-and-hold [AMP] and RES]: the Learn LED turns steady green. + Press Pause [I] ;the Learn LED turns amber + Press [CDI press Pause [HI]; the Learn LED turns green + Press [AMP] again to exit the learning mode. NOTE The copy and punch-through functions are similar. However, ifyou copy a command and then subsequentiy delete, or over-wrie the original (source-key) command, the copied-to keys command remains unchanged.Ifyou punch-through to a command and then delete or over- write the original key, the punched-through functions also change accordingly. MACRO COMMANDS A'macro"command is a series of two or more remote codes issued automatically from a single keypress. You might use a macro to automate a simple command sequence, such as, Tum on the DVD player and then press/plaÿ” Or you might compose an elaborate macro to power up an entire system, select a source, choose a Listening Mode, and begin playback—again, all from a single keypress. The HTR 3 can store one macro on each ofits function keys (these exclude the DEVICE SELECTOR keys). NOTE Macros are independent ofthe current} selected device. RECORDING MACROS To record a macro, imultaneousiy press-and-hold for 3 seconds both the [MACRO] key and the HTR 3 function key to which you wish to assign the macro, until the status LED turns green. The macro button wil also light up. Press the sequence of function keys to be recorded inta the ECTOR Key for each function (ou may switch devices while recording macro, being sure to first press the requisite DEVI the macro as many times as necessary) allowing you to create macro containing commands from more than one DEVICE SELECTOR"page” When you have finished entering the desired command sequence, press [MACRO] again to store the macro the Learn LED and [MACRO] key ilumination will turn of. NOTE Each macro can store a maximum of 64 command steps. you exceed this number, the macro will be stored automatically after the 64th command is added. R3_eng OM_vO2indd 5 TI8IO7 22:03:2

Example: Record a Macro to the [0] key to turn ON the NAD Receiver, turn ON the DVD Player Select Input 1 and commence disc playback of connected Input 1 device (as in the DVD player: + OntheHTR3,simultaneously press-and-hold [MACRO] and [OI (numeric zero); the Learn LED turns steady green. + Press [AMP] press [ONI; press [DVD], press [ONI: press AMP] press [1] (nput 1}; press [DVD], press Be (Play). + Press [MACRO] again to exit the macro-record mode. To clear a macro, perform the above steps without entering any functions. EXECUTING MACROS To execute a macro, press and release [MACROÏ its key ilumination lights for 5 seconds. While it remains li, press an HTR 3 key to which a macro has previously been stored. The corresponding macro wil run; as each step executes, its EVICE SELECTOR key flashes brief when execution “parent isfinished, the [MACRO] key ilumination goes out. Pressing any other HTR 3 key while a macro is executing will abort the macro. Remember that you must hold the HTR 3 so that its infrared emitter can activate the target components. NOTE When a macro executes, a 1 second delay is automatically inserted between its command. Iyou need more than a 1 second delay between particular commands—for example, to permit a component to power up completely — you can record “empty” steps into the macro by changing DEVICE SELECTOR “pages” without entering actual command functions.

BUTTON ILLUMINATION TIMEOUT

The HTR 35 key-llumination can be set to remain lit for 0.9 seconds. The default value is 2 seconds, To set the illumination timeout, simultaneousiy press-and-hold for 3 seconds both the HTR 3 (DISP] and the [0-9] key, with the digit corresponding to the desired timeout duration; the Learn LED wil flash twice to confirm the new setting. Wen set to zero, the illumination will not tum on at al NOTE Key illumination is the biggest drain on the HTR 35 batteries. À short key-illumination timeout will extend battery life appreciably; tuming it off altogether (set it to 0 seconds) willlengthen it stil further. ‘ACTORY RESET The HTR 3 can be reset to its factory state, deleting all leamed commands, copied and punched-through keys, macros, and other setup information, reverting all keys to their pre: programmed library commands. To perform a factory reset simultaneously press-and-hold for 10 seconds the HTR 35 [ON] and [RTNI keys; the Learn LED will start to flash green. Release [ONI and [RTN] before the second flash is complete: the Learn LED will turn red, indicating the remote has been reset. NOTE You must release [ON] and [RTN] before the second flash goes out otherwise the unit will not reset: should this occur, repeat the full procedure R3_eng OM_vO2.indd 6 TI8IO7 22:03:2

DELETE MODE The HTR 3 can store learned, copied, and'default library" commands on any single key (The default library commands are the pre-programmed NAD codes, such as the native NAD receiver command on the [AMP] "page". You can delete commands by layers back'down" to the default library command on any key, removing learned commands, punched-through functions, and copied keys: NOTE The default library commandé cannot be deleted, so you need not worry that using Delete Mode might cause irreparable changes. To enter Delete Mode, simultaneous|y press-and-hold for 3 seconds both the desired key's DEVICE SELECTOR key and the IRTNI key, until the Learn LED tums green. Press the function key whose command you wish to delete the Learn LED flashes, the number oftimes indicates which type of function has become active - see the table below. Press the active DEVICE SELECTOR key again to exit Delete Mode NOTE You may delete multiple function-key commands on the same DEVICE SELECTOR “page; but to delete from more than one DEVICE SELECTOR page you must exit Delete Mode and then re-enter it on the required page. Flashes Command Type 1 Defaut Library Command 2 Copied Library Command 3 Leamed Command LOADING CODE-LIBRARIES The HTR 3 can store a different library of default NAD codes foreach ofits DEVICE SELECTOR pages" the original default library does not control your NAD CD player, DVD player or other component, follow the procedure belouw to change the code-library Begin by ensuring that the component you wish the HTR 3 to controls plugged in and powered-up (ON: not merely in standby). To enter the HTR 35 Library Mode, simutaneoushy press-and-hold for 3 seconds both the desired DEVICE SELECTOR Key and the [AVPS] key, until the Learn LED turns green. While keeping the HTR 3 pointed toward the component, enterthe fist appropriate three-digit code-library number from the table below and then press [OFF]. Ifthe component turns off press ENTER] to accept that code-library number and exit the Library Mode. Ifthe component does not tum off, enterthe next three-digit code library number from the table.
