REFERENCE TROUBLESHOOTING . SPECIFICATIONS. We encourage you to take a few minutes now to read right through this manual. Investing a little time here at the outset might save you a good deal of time later, and is by far the best way to ensure that you make the most of your investment in the T 775, and get the most from this powerful and flexible home-theater component One more thing: We urge you to register your T 775 ownership on the NAD Worldwide Web site: http://NADelectronics.com/warranty For warranty information contact your local distributor.

INTRODUCTION Though the T 775 is among the most technically sophisticated AMV Receiver, we worked hard to make it one ofthe most musically transparent home- theater components available as well this is what we mean by NADS "Music First design philosophy. Here are just few examples + TheT 775 uses NAD$ proprietary Power Drive" amplifier technology for all channels to preserve accurate linear reproduction regardiess ofthe loudspeaker This uniquely efficient power-supply topology provides the realworld benefits of high dynamic power that remains uncompromised by low-impedance speakers. The result is dynamic, detailed ‘un-receiver-ike' sound in stereo and multi-channel modes alke. NADS exclusive Soft Clipping"” circuitry further enhances sound quality and dynamic potential. + High-performance components used throughout the AW Receivers analog audio circuits maximize quality from al sources, including multi- channel analog sources such as DVD-Audio and SACD. + Audio pre-out jacks make potential expansion as flexible as possible + Asecond set of speaker terminals (Speakers 8) for remote listening, + Zone pre-amp and video feed with assignable 12 V DC trigger control + An RS-232 port for advanced zone control and software update through a Windows® compatible PC + Gold-surfaced connectors are employed throughout to ensure maximum signal integrity. E.A.R.S. AND DIGITAL SURROUND Akey element ofthe T 7755 unique musical aptitude is NAD'S proprietary Enhanced Ambience Recovery System (EARS). In sharp contrast to many “ambience-synthesis’ music-surround modes, EARS exploits the T 7755 substantial DSP power to route the ambient content that is‘encrypted"in virtually al natural-acoustic recordings to the appropriate main, center and surround speakers, without resorting to artificilly generated reflections or regeneration. EARS natural ambience yield a subtle but exceptionally effective surround mode that naturally enhances the spatial presentation in à fashion suitable for serious music listening Dolby Pro Logic 1x Music and DTS Neo: 6 Music modes can also create enjoyable experience from 2-channel sources. On the digital side, the T 775 combines extraordinarily high-speed DSP processing employing one ofthe most advanced high-speed DSP ‘engines" available, with fully 24-bit, 192 KHz-sampling-capable D/A converters for all channels À single, high-precision master clock synchronizes all digital circuits to eliminate the timing errors (‘jitter") that otherwise compromise sonics. The result is legitimately state-of-the-art surround decoding from Dolby Digital and DTS sources, and 6.1/7.1-channel reproduction, with genuinely superior sound quality in all modes

Despite the effort NAD has invested in the T 775 A/ Receiver's sonic performance, we expended no less in making it powerfuly easy to use Its design is uniquely simple for so sophisticated a component, and the HTR 3 universal remote control is equally understandable, as are the T 775‘ own front-panel and on-screen displays. ts simple yet powerful system of‘presets’ permits you to fine-tune your listening setup for different conditions, sources, or listeners, and to recall these multiple parameters with a single key press. INTEGRATION The T 775 AW Receiver offers extensive, flexible system-integration options through its configurable DC trigger outputs and input, and its standard- protocol IR communications links. The DC trigger outputs can be assigned to either Local and/or Zone locations. ABOUT THET 775 ZONE TheT 775 AW Receiver is equipped with three configurable Zones that make full use of video and pre-amp level audio outputs. The ZR4 remote control wil allow you complete access to Zone 2 applications including access to volume On/Off and all sources inputs. Zone 3 and Zone 4 could be configured and managed at the appropriate Zone OSD menu using the front panel navigations keys as well as the corresponding keys on the HTR 3 remote control. RS 232 Flexible system configuration is possible with the RS-232 interface and NAD$ proprietary Windows® compatible software.We are also certified partners with AMX and Crestron and fully support these external devices. This interface allows complete remote control of the T 775 from any remote location via the PC. Complete remote control functionality is available to the user by interface software. See your NAD audio specialist for further information. UPGRADABILITY The T 775 AW Receiver permits flexible system growth via indiidually accessible pre-out and main-in jacks for all channels. We have made the more likely scenario of software upgrades easy to accomplish via the high speed RS-232 port on the rear panel ofthe T 775. Owners who register their T 775 on our international web site www.NADelectronics.com will be advised of updates. Some of these may be free of charge and some may require royalty payments depending on the type of upgrade. The advanced user will be able to perform these upgrades by downloading files from our web site, via e-mail and installing them by connecting the T 775 to a PC. Alternatively the dealer from whom you purchased yourT 775 should be able to assist in performing these upgrades

ABOUT THE HTR 3 SYSTEM REMOTE CONTROL

Packed with your T 775 is the NAD HTR 3 remote control, a full-system remote especially designed for easy use and understanding. Be sure to read the section "Using the HTR 3 Remote Control’ to familarize yourself with the remote layout and operations before proceeding to setup your AW Receiver. You may opt to use your HTR 3 as your primary way to command your entire AV system. The HTR 3 can be employed to operate additional NAD or other-brand components such as a DVD/CD player, television, satellite/HDTV tuner, VCR, or virtually anything else that operates via standard infrared remote.

Packed with your T 775 A/ Receiver you will find + An AM loop antenna + AFMribbon-wire antenna with balun + Aremovable AC cable (if you wish, any IEC-standard AC cable of suitable wattage may be substituted) + The HTR 3 remote control with 4 (four) AAA batteries + The ZR4 zone remote control with 3V CR2025 battery +__ This owners manual

Please save the box and all of the packaging in which your T 775 arrived. Should you move or athenaise need to transport yourT 775, this is by fer the safest container in which to do so. Weve seen too many otherwise perfect components damaged in transit for lack of a proper shipping carton, so please: Save that boul INITIAL SETUP Before you make the fist connection to your T 775, you should have the arrangement of your listening room/home theater components and fumiture mapped out, at least initial, Unfortunately a discussion of the vital questions of loudspeaker placement and listeningAiewing positions is beyond our scope here. Suffice itto say that these two questions will influence your systems ultimate performance every bit as powerfully as your selection of electronics and speakers. Your NAD audio specialist dealer will be happy to advise you and to recommend reference materials CHOOSING À LOCATION Choose a location that is well ventilated (with at least several inches to both sides and behind), and that will provide à clear line of sight, within 25 feet/8 meters, between the T 775 front panel and your primary listeningAiewing position—this will ensure reliable infrared remote control communications The T 775 generates a modest amount of heat, but nothing that should trouble adjacent components Itis perfectly possible to stack the T 775 on top of other components, but the reverse usually should be avoided. Nonetheless it is generally preferable that the T 775 stand alone. itis especially important that sufficient ventilation be provided. If you are contemplating on locating the T 775 within a cabinet or other furniture, consult your NAD audio/video specialist for advice on providing adequate airflow. QUICK START Packed with your T 775 is à Quick Start Guide that will guide you through typical setup configurations in combination with your ancillary devices. The Quick Start Guide also features the contents of your 1775 package as well as start up procedures The T 775 is defaulted to the following settings: Source Audio Input Video Input Source 1 HDMI IN/ Audio 1 IN HDMI IN Source 2 Optical 2 IN/ Audio 2 IN Component Video 2 IN Source 3 Coaxal 3 IN/ Audio 3 IN SVideo 31IN Source 4 Audio 4 IN Video 41IN iPod Audio 5 IN $-Video IN Source 7 74 Input Component Video 3 IN Front input Optical Front nput/ Audio Front Input S-Video Front IN Media Player Audio MP input Tuner For Video output, select the highest video quality format available on your TV/Monitor and utilize this for your Monitor OUT connection from the T 775 to the TV/Monitor. In most cases, this would be HDMI but for other TV/Monitar without HDMI input, the best connection in order of best video quality would be Component Video, S-Video and Composite video input. To modify the above default settings and for a better understanding of source setting and combinations, please refer to the section on ‘Source Setup'ofthe Setup Menu discussion: NOTE Digital input will always take precedence over analog audio input even ifboth are present.

Hum and noise may sometimes prove a challenge in complex, multi-channel audio systems. Note these considerations to help prevent hum and noise problems: + Powerall your systems audio component from AC outlets originating from the same circuit of your house wiring. As far as possible, power all audio components from the same outlet, or adjacent outlets on the same circuit. it may be useful to power video displays (and computers) from outlets on another circuit, especially ifthat circuit is supplied from the other leg” ofthe house wiring, + Do not bundie analog audio cables with AC power cables, or with coaxial digitaaudio cables. it is best ifthey cross at right angles ifthey must be in close proximity. + Employhigh-quality, well-shielded audio cable throughout, and ensure that all connections are secure. + A penci-eraser can be used to burnish copper- and gold-plated contacts to ensure good, low resistance contact specialized contact-cleaners can also be useful. Avoid unnecessary unplugging and re-plugging since the gold (or coppen contact plating of typical cable connectors, even very high-quality ones, is very thin and easily wo Track down hum/noise problems ane component at a time, working backwards from the AW Receiver. Thatis a. Connect the speakers to the AW Receiver only, and check for hum. b.. Then connect one component only (a CD player for example) alone, with no other components connected and check for hum. € Connect additional components, one at a time, to the AW Receiver and check for hum. At each stage, Ifhum/noise appears, examine the audio cabling and AC-power routing ofthe new component. In some cases, moving the new component's AC cord to a different outlet, or installing à groundft (3-to-2-prong adapter) on its power cord, will eliminate the hum.

LISTENING MODE Listening Mode Mode : DTA he T 775 offers distinct listening modes, tallored for different types of

recording or program material. With a two-channel (Stereo) source, following listening modes can be selected STEREO All output is directed to the front left/right channels. Low frequencies are directed to the subwoofer if one is present in the Speaker settings. Select Stereo'when you wish to listen to a stereo (or monaural) production, such as music CD or FM broadcast, without surround enhancement. Stereo recordings whether in PCM/digital or analog form and whether surround- encoded or not encoded, are reproduced as recorded. Multi-channel digital recordings (Dolby Digital and DTS) are reproduced in‘tereo Downmix" mode via the front left/right channels only as Lt/t (left/right-total) signals. DIRECT he analog or digital sources are automatically played in their native channels are reproduced directly This mode recreates the original sound most faithfully thereby producing outstandingly high quality audio. formats. All the source's audi PRO LOGIC io-channel recordings, whether stereo or surround-encoded, are reproduced with Dolby Pro Logic surround processing, yielding output to lefright surround channels (assuming are present in the current'Speaker Configuration). The surround front | channel is monophonie, but it is reproduced in both surround speakers. right, center and disc

DOLBY PRO LOGIC IIx Dolby Pro Logic Iix processes both stereo and 5.1 signals into a 6.1 or 7.1 channel output. At Dolby Pro Logic I, you can choose PLIIx Movie or PLIx Music modes to tailor your listening experience to the source material Dolby Pro Logic Iix surround processing yields more stable imaging and full bandwidth sound to the rear channels in Movie mode offering sound that is more similar to Dolby Digital decoding. For two channel signals, Pro Logic 1x Music mode also features three additional user controls - Dimension, Center Width, and Panorama See also section about'Adjusting Listening Modes’below. The following chart shows the channels available assuming they are enabled in the'Speaker Configuration menu: Listening Mode Active Decoded Output Channels Two-Channel Sources 6.1 Speaker System 7.1 Speaker System Front (left &right), Front [left & right), Center, Surround (left & right, Back Surround, Subwoofer Center, Surround (left & right and Back Surround {left and igh) and subwoofer Dolby Pro Logic x Music Dolby Pro Logic x Movie DTS NEO:6 To-channel recordings, whether stereo or surround-encoded, are reproduced with Neo: 6 surround with output ta front left/right, center and discrete left/right surround channels plus subwoofer (assuming these are n the current'Speaker Configuration). The T 775 provides two DTS Neo 6 variations - NEO: Cinema and NEO:6 Music. See also section about ‘Adjusting Listening Modes’ below. EARS Two-channel recordings, whether stereo or suround-encoded, are reproduced with proprietary NAD surround processing with signals output to the front left/ght, center and discrete left/right surround channels, plus subwoofer (assuming these are present in the current'Speaker Configuration). EARS does not employ the surround back speakers (if any). EARS extracts the natural ambience present in nearly all well-produced stereo recordings. it does not synthesize any ambience or other sonic elements and thus remains truer to the sound ofthe original musical performance than most other music-surround options. Select EARS for listening to stereo music recordings and broadcasts. EARS produces a subtle but highly natural and believable ambience from early all'natural-acoustic' stereo recordings. Typicall, these include classical jazz, and folk genres as well as numerous examples from others. I virtues include realistic stable “front-stage' sonic imaging and spacious but unexaggerated ambient “virtual acoustics’"that remain faithful to the original recording. ENHANCED STEREO All recordings are reproduced in stereo via the maximum speaker complement configured in the current'Speaker Configuration! Enhanced stereo can be useful for maximum volume from all channels or for multi- speaker background music (cocktail party) listening. For this mode, Front Center, Surround and Back speakers can be turned ON/OFF as desired.

AUDYSSEY MultEQ XT ROOM ACOUSTICS CORRECTION Sound reflecting from room boundaries can disturb the spatial illusion of surround sound, and can also distort the tonal balance ofthe system. Professional Acoustical Engineers often add wall treatments and even move walls and relocate speakers to improve system performance, but for the average Home Theatre, this is either too expensive or just not a practical solution. Audyssey MultEQ XT, using multiple measurements from the actual listening positions, and processing this information using very sophisticated digital signal processing, is able to ‘precondition"the signal to effectively make the walls disappear. This creates a family size‘ sweet spot where the sound and spatial cues are very accuratel} reproduced MultEQ XT is designed to tame room acoustics without changing the sonic character of your loudspeakers. While it will make the most of whatever loudspeakers you have, it will not make poor speakers sound Ike good ones! Connect the Audyssey microphone jack into the front panel's MP/MIC input and the Audyssey Auto Calibration wizard will guide you through a simple step-by-step configuration. Once setup and calibrated, the next greatest improvement in performance is obtained by eliminating the acoustic interference caused by room boundaries interacting with your speakers

MEASUREMENT IS THE FIRST STEP

The sound at each listening position (up to 8 positions) is calibrated using the same microphone used during the setup phase A special test tone is sent to each speaker and the data is memorized by the T 775. The duration of calibration may take some time depending on the number of speakers as well as the number of measuring points. After all positions are measured, the DSP calculates the ideal system respanse for your particular room and speaker setup. Isome inconsistencies or discrepancies are detected during the Audyssey calibration, the process maybe interrupted orthe problem is shown in the particular setup window. À notice screen is correspondingly displayed. After following and undertaking the displayed instructions, re-start the Audyssey calibration again. When the measurements are finalized, Audyssey calculates the ideal system response for your particular room and speaker setup. NOTE The test tone emitted during measurement is loud. This maybe bothersome for you and may affect your other household members as well and even your neighbor. NEXT A TARGET CURVE MUST BE CHOSEN Because loudspeaker designers assume that their products will be used in ‘ypical domestic rooms, they are Voiced’to work in this environment. It is assumed that the room will add some bass reinforcement and will absorb some treble energy. Thus ifwe effectively remove the walls with room correction, and set the speakers for flat response you may find this sounds 00 bright in the treble and too weak in the bass region: OPERATION

DTS-HD Master Audio is a technology that delivers master audio sources recorded in a professional studio to isteners without any loss of data, preserving audio quality. DTS-HD Master Audio adopts variable data transfer rates, facilitating data transfer to the maximum rate of 24.5 Mbps in the Blu-ray disc format, 18.0 Mbps in the HD-DVD format, which by far exceeds that of a standard DVD. These high data transfer rates enable lossless transmission of 96 kHz/24-bit 7.1-channel audio sources without deteriorating the quality of the original sound. DTS-HD Master Audio is an irreplaceable technology that can reproduce sound falthfully as intended by the creator of music or movies. DTS - ES EXTENDED SURROUND " (DTS ES) channel digital format which greatiy improves the 360° his is a new mu spatial sensation ofthe Surround impression thanks to the greater space expansion of the surround signals, providing high compatibility with the conventional DTS format. n addition to the 5.1 channels, the expanded DTS-ES Surround also offers the back surround (also sometimes called the “surround centre’) in reproduction, providing a total of 6.1 channels. The expanded DTS-ES Surround includes two formats, with two different methods of surround signal recording, as follows DTS-ES" DISCRETE 6.1 Since the signals ofthe 6.1 Surround channels (including the back channel) are completely independent, itis possible to achieve the sensation that the acoustic image is moving about freely among the background sounds, 360 degrees surrounding the listener. Although maximum quality is achieved with sound tracks recorded using this system and reproduced using the DTS-ES decoder, when played with a conventional DTS decoder, the back surround channel is automatically downmixed in the surround right and surround left channels ofthe surround system, in such a way that none of the signal components are lost.

DTS - ES" MATRIX 6.1

n this format, the additional signals ofthe back channel receive a matrix encoding and are inputted into the right and left surround channels. During reproduction they are decoded to the right, left and back surround channels Since this bit-stream format is 100% compatible with conventional DTS signals, the DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 format effect can also be achieved from sources with DTS-ES 5.1 signals. Natural), is also possible to reproduce from a DTS 5.1 channel decoder, signals recorded in DTS-ES 6.1 Inen a DTS-ES decoder processes a discrete DTS-ES 6.1 or in Matrix 6.1 these formats are automatically detected and the Optimum Surround mode is selected. However, some DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 sources may be detected as DTS. In this case the DTS-ES Matrix mode should be selected manually in order to reproduce them.

This mode applies the conventional 2-channel signals such as digital PCM or analog stereo signals to the high precision digital matrix decoder used for DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 to achieve 6.1-channel surround playback. DTS Neo: 6 surround includes two modes for selecting the optimum decoding ofthe signal sources: DTS NEO: 6 CINEMA : This method is ideal for the reproduction of movies. The decoding takes place by emphasizing the separation in order to achieve the same atmosphere with 2-channel as with 6.1- channel sources. DTS NEO: 6 MUSIC : Mainly recommended for music reproduction.

ABOUT DEEP COLOR AND XVYCC

DEEP COLOR TheT 775 has the support for 30-, 36-, and 48-bit RGB or‘deep color’ à specification that extends color depths beyond the capability ofthe human eye to perceive them. Deep color expands the colors on the display resulting to a vividness and accuracy that has never been before seen in display technology. Deep Color eliminates the on-screen color banding for tonal transitions that are smooth and graduations of color that are very subtle. enables increased contrast ratio, and may represent many times more shades of gray between black and white xvYCC Extended-gamut YCC, or xwYCC as it is called, is a color space used in video electronics that supports 1.8 times as many colors as the sRGB color space. Color space is the range of colors based on the three primary colors (red, green and blue, or RGB). An xwYCC display, along with Deep Color, can display the complete range of colors that can be viewed by the human eye and give a crystal clear picture that is full of clarity IMPORTANT NOTICE For xvYCC and Deep Color signal transfer possible, the source and TV/Monitor must be xvYCC and Deep Color compatible. leither source or TV/Monitor does not support xvYCC and Deep Color, then you cannot full enjoy the wide color gamut and high bit depth that xwYCC and Deep Color offer.

Each ofthe 8 Device Selector keys at the top ofthe handset can call up a new'page’ of remote control codes to be transmitted by the remaining 44 keys. You may ‘teach' codes from any infrared-remote controlled component, regardiess of brand, to any or all of these. Obviously, the most logical system is that you teach the codes from your DVD player to the [DVD] Device Selector‘page' your television codes to the [TV] “page” and so on, but there is no required scheme: You may load any commands to any key on any page (see “Learning Codes From Other Remotes’ below) The HTR 3 is already preprogrammed with a full complement of commands for the T 775 AW Receiver on its AMP] Device Selector page, and as well as with library commands to operate most NAD-brand DVD or CD components on the corresponding Device Selector “pages! These default commandés are permanent: Even if you teach the HTR 3 new commandé to take their place, the underlying library commandés remain in place and can easily be recalled should you add an NAD companent to your system later (see“Delete Mode’ below) Note: For use with the T 775, it should not be necessary to re-program any keys on the HTR 3 [AMP] page. However, in order for the HTR 3 to control your specific NAD-brand components you may need to load one or more different code-libraries (see“Loading Code Libraries! below

CONTROLLING THE T 775

The HTR 3 is divided into two main sections. Eight Device Selector keys at the top—[AMP], [DVD] [TV] and so on—set the handset' remaining keys to a‘page" of commands to control a particular component. À Device Select key determines only what component the HTR 3 will command: it does not perform any function on the AM Receiver All ofthe remaining keys are function keys that can “learn' control codes from virtually any infrared remote controller allowing you to teach the codes of your equipment, regardless of brand, to the HTR 3 However, the HTR 3 is already preprogrammed to operate the T 775. All ofthe function keys on the [AMP] Device Selector*page" perform T 775 functions. (The HTR 3 can also command many other NAD components, from its [DVD] [CD,] [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-labeling corresponds to the labeling ofthe function keys. Most centrall, the black [AMP] Device Selector'page" correspandé to the black as well as white input-select labeling above the numeric keys: When the HTR 35 [AMP] Device Selector page is active, these keys select the AW Receiver inputs. Similarly, the purple [DVD] Device Selector"page” corresponds to several purple labels, the green [TV] page to green labels, and so on

Begin by positioning the HTR 3“nose-to-nose"with the source remote so the two devices‘infrared windows are about 2 inches apart + Enter Leaming Mode: On the HTR 3, simultaneously press-and-hold for 3 seconds both a Device Selector key and the [RES] key (just below the DISP key) untl the Learn LED at the center ofthe HTR 3 turns steady green. + Pressthe 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 will flicker amber for a second or two, then turn solid green. The command is leamed. + Press the HTR 35 Device Selector key again to exit the learning mode IFthe Learn LED does not flicker amber you may need to vary the distance between the remotes. If the Learn LED turns red rather than green, that particular command of that source remote command could not be learned: Example: Learning DVD Pause" Position the HTR 3 and your DVD player remote as described above. + Onthe HTR3, simultaneously press-and-hold [DVD] and [RES]: the Learn LED turns steady green: + Press the HTR 35 Pause [I] key the Learn LED turns amber. + Press-and-hold the corresponding Pause key of your DVD players remote control; the HTR 3 Learn LED flickers amber and then turns solid green. The command is learned. + Press [DVD] 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 will turn red PUNCH THROUGH The HTR 35“punch-through"function allows you to retain a function key from one Device Select'page" to another, so that, for example, the AMP [SURR MODE] function might still control the T 775 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: IVOL] will operate the T 7755 master volume regardless ofthe currently selected device. The [SURR] ICENTER ] and [SUB] Channel Volume control 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 Leaming Mode. Example: Punch-through AMP [SURR MODE] key to the DVD ‘page' + Onthe HTR3, simultaneously press-and-hold [DVD] and [RES]: the Learn LED turns steady green. + Press [SURR MODE}; the Learn LED turns amber. + Press [AMP] twice: the Learn LED turns green + Press [DVD] again to exit the learning mode.

COPY A COMMAND FROM ANOTHER KEY

You may copy à command from any HTR 3 key to any other. To copy à key function, after entering the Learning Mode, and pressing the desired key to be copied to, simply press the device key from which you wish to copy, having fist pressed its Device Selector key ifitresides on anotherpage! The status LED will turn green; press the Device Selector key again to exit Learning Mode. Example: Copy the Pause command from the CD page to the AMP [HI] button: + On the HTR3, simultaneously press-and-hold [AMP] and [RES]; the Learn LED turns steady green + Press Pause [II]; the Learn LED turns amber. + Press [CD}; press Pause [11]; the Learn LED turns green + Press [AMP] again to exit the learning mode. NOTE The copy and punch-through functions are similar. However, if you copy a command and then subsequently delete, or over-write the original (source-key) command, the copied-to keys command remains unchanged. you 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 à macro to automate a simple command sequence, such as, “Turn on the DVD player and then press PLAY! 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 of its function keys (these exclude the Device Selector keys). NOTE Macros are independent of the currently selected device. RECORDING MACROS To record a macro, simultaneous|y 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 will also light up. Press the sequence of function keys to be recorded into the macro, being sure to first press the requisite Device Selector key or each function (you may switch devices while recording the macro as many times as necessary), allowing you to create macro containing command 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 off. NOTE Each macro can store a maximum of 64 command steps. f you exceed this number, the macro will be stored automatically after the 64th command is added. Example: Record a Macro to the [0] key to Turn on the T 775, Select‘input 1” (Source 1), and Commence Playback of connected Source 1 device (as in DVD player) + Onthe HTR 3, simultaneously press-and-hold [MACRO] and [0] (numeric zero); the Learn LED turns steady green. + Press [AMP}; press [ON]; press [1] ('nput or Source 1°); press [DVD]; press +] (Plaÿ) -the Learn LED blinks as each step is added! + 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 [MACRO] its key ilumination lights for 5 seconds. While it remains lit, press an HTR 3 key to which à macro has previously been stored. The corresponding macro will run; as each step executes, its parent" Device Selectar key flashes lights briefly: when execution is finished, the [MACRO] key illumination 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 emnitter can activate the target components. NOTE When a macro executes, a 1 second delay is automatically inserted between its commands. If you 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-illumination can be set to remain lit for 0-9 seconds, The default value is 2 seconds. To setthe illumination timeout, simultaneously press-and-hold for 3 seconds both the HTR 35 [DISPI and the [0-9] key, with the digit corresponding to the desired timeout duration: the Learn LED will flash twice to confirm the new setting. When set to zero, the illumination will not turn on at all. NOTE Key ilumination is the biggest drain on the HTR 35 batteries. À short key-illumination timeout will extend battery life appreciably;turning it off altogether (set t to 0 seconds) will lengthen it still further.

FACTORY RESET The HTR 3 can be reset toits factory state, deleting all learned commands, copied and punched- through keys, macros, and other setup information, reverting all keys to their pre-programmed library. commandé. To perform à factory reset simultaneously press-and-hold for 10 seconds the HTR 35 [ON] and IRTNI keys:the Learn LED will start to flash green. Release [ON and [RTNI 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 DELETE MODE The HTR 3 can store leamed, copied, and'default library” commands on any single key (The default library commands are the pre-programmed NAD codes, such as the native T 775 commands on the IAMP]'page/) You can delete command by layers back'down'to the default library command on any key, removing learned commandé, 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, simultaneously press-and-hold for 3 seconds both the desired keys Device Selector key and the [RTN] key, until the Learn LED turns green. Press the function key whose command you wish to delete; the Learn LED flashes; the number of times indicates which type of function has become active - see the table below. Press the active Device Selector key again to exit Delete Mode.

USING THE ZR 4 REMOTE CONTROL

The ZR 4 remote control is a discrete compact remote for controlling the T 775 from various rooms other than the main room. The ZR 4 remote allows full separate control of the source selection irrespective to the main room. This means the zone input may be completely different, audio and video, from the main input and thus corresponding volume levels as well Ifone wishes to enjoy the same source as the main room, the ZR 4 remote has a [LOCAL] button to allow simultaneous listening, but with full separate volume levels. To mute the Zone Volume level, press MUTE'on the ZR 4. fthe’Zone Controls OSD menu is ON, the Zone ‘Volume level section will displayMute’ The T 775% front fluorescent display will show activity of the zone control so that main room occupants are aware of the zone remote activity. Furthermore ifthere is no main room activity, only the zone indicator will be active in the T 7755 fluorescent display. NOTE The ZR 4 remote control will only control Zone 2 applications. Zone 3 and Zone 4 could be configured and managed at the appropriate Zone OSD menu using the front panel navigations keys as well as the corresponding keys on the HTR 3 remote control. The HTR 35 CUSTOM" device is also defaulted to Zone 2 remote control codes.
