Thank you for choosing NAD.

The T 765 A/V Receiver is a technologically advanced and highly capable product — yet we have invested great effort in making it simple and easy to use. The T 765 delivers a range of genuinely useful options for surround sound and stereo listening alike, using powerful digital signal

processing and superbly accurate digital-audio circuitry. However, we have also been careful to ensure that the T 765 is as musically transparent and spatially accurate as possible, incorporating much of what we’ve learned from a quarter-century’s experience designing audio and home-theater components. As with all our products, NAD’s “Music First” design philosophy guided the T 765’s design, such that it can confidently promise you both state-of-the-art surround home-theater and audiophile-quality music listening for years to come.

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 765, and get the most from this powerful and flexible home-theater component.

One more thing: We urge you to register your T 765 ownership on the NAD Worldwide Web site:

http://NADelectronics.com/warranty

For warranty information contact your local distributor.

introduction

ABOUT THE T 765

Though the T 765 is among the most technically sophisticated A/V Receiver, we worked hard to make it one of the most musically transparent hometheater components available as well; this is what we mean by NAD’s “Music First” design philosophy. Here are just few examples:

The T 765 uses NAD’s proprietary Power Drive™ amplifier technology for all channels to preserve accurate, linear reproduction regardless of the loudspeaker. This uniquely efficient power-supply topology provides the real-world benefits of high dynamic power that remains uncompromised by low-impedance speakers. The result is dynamic, detailed, “un-receiver-like” sound in stereo and multi-channel modes alike. NAD’s exclusive Soft Clipping™ circuitry further enhances sound quality and dynamic potential.

High-performance components used throughout the A/V Receiver’s analog audio circuits maximize quality from all sources, including multichannel analog sources such as DVD-Audio and SACD.

Audio pre-out jacks make potential expansion as flexible as possible..

A second set of speaker terminals (Speakers B) 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

A key element of the T 765’s 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 765’s substantial DSP power to route the ambient content that is “encrypted” in virtually all natural-acoustic recordings to the appropriate main, center and surround speakers, without resorting to artificially generated reflections

or regeneration. EARS’ natural ambience yields a subtle but exceptionally effective surround mode that naturally enhances the spatial presentation in a fashion suitable for serious music listening.

Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music and DTS Neo: 6 Music modes can also create enjoyable experience from 2-channel sources.

On the digital side, the T 765 combines extraordinarily high-speed DSP processing employing one of the most advanced high-speed DSP “engines” available, with fully 24-bit, 192 kHz-sampling-capable D/A converters for

all channels. A 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.

EASE OF USE

Despite the effort NAD has invested in the T 765 A/V Receiver’s sonic performance, we expended no less in making it powerfully 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 765’s own front-panel and on-screen displays. Its 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 765 A/V Receiver offers extensive, flexible system-integration options through its configurable DC trigger outputs and input, and its standardprotocol IR communications links. The DC trigger outputs can be assigned to either Local and/or Zone locations.

ZONE

The T 765 A/V Receiver is equipped with three configurable Zones that make full use of video and pre-amp level audio outputs. The ZR 4 remote control will 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’s 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 765 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 765 A/V Receiver permits flexible system growth via individually 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 of the T 765. Owners who register their T 765 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 765 to a PC. Alternatively the dealer from whom you purchased your T 765 should be able to assist in performing these upgrades.

ABOUT THE HTR 3 SYSTEM REMOTE CONTROL

Packed with your T 765 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 familiarize yourself with the remote’s layout and operations before proceeding to setup your A/V Receiver. You may opt to use your HTR 3 as your primary way to command your entire A-V 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

Save the packaging

Please save the box and all of the packaging in which your T 765 arrived. Should you move or otherwise need to transport your T 765, this is by far the safest container in which to do so. We’ve seen too many otherwise perfect components damaged in transit for lack of a proper shipping carton, so please: Save that box!

INITIAL SETUP

Before you make the first connection to your T 765, you should have the arrangement of your listening room/home theater components and furniture mapped out, at least initially. Unfortunately, a discussion of the vital questions of loudspeaker placement and listening/viewing positions is beyond our scope here.

Suffice it to say that these two questions will influence your system’s 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 A LOCATION

Choose a location that is well ventilated (with at least several inches to both sides and behind), and that will provide a clear line of sight, within 25 feet/8 meters, between the T 765’s front panel and your primary listening/viewing position—this will ensure reliable infrared remote control communications. The T 765 generates a modest amount of heat, but nothing that should trouble adjacent components.

It is perfectly possible to stack the T 765 on top of other components, but the reverse usually should be avoided. Nonetheless, it is generally preferable that the T 765 stand alone. It is especially important that sufficient ventilation be provided. If you are contemplating on locating the T 765 within a cabinet or other furniture, consult your NAD audio/video specialist for advice on providing adequate airflow.

QUICK START

Packed with your T 765 is a 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

T 765 package as well as start up procedures. The T 765 is defaulted to the following settings:

The T 765 is optimized for Component Video Output. Composite video and S-video sources may be viewed in their native format or via Component Video OUT.

DEALING WITH HUM AND NOISE

Hum and noise may sometimes prove a challenge in complex, multi-channel audio systems. Note these considerations to help prevent hum and noise problems:

Power all your system's 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 if that circuit is supplied from the other "leg" of the house wiring.

Do not bundle analog audio cables with AC power cables, or with coaxial digital-audio cables. It is best if they cross at right angles if they must be in close proximity.

Employ high-quality, well-shielded audio cable throughout, and ensure that all connections are secure.

A pencil-eraser can be used to burnish copperand gold-plated contacts to ensure good, lowresistance contact; specialized contact-cleaners can also be useful. Avoid unnecessary unplugging and re-plugging since the gold (or copper) contact plating of typical cable connectors, even very high-quality ones, is very thin and easily worn.

Track down hum/noise problems one component at a time, working backwards from the A/V Receiver. That is

a.Connect the speakers to the A/V 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.

c.Connect additional components, one at a time, to the A/V Receiver and check for hum.

At each stage, if hum/noise appears, examine the audio cabling and AC-power routing of the new component. In some cases, moving the new component's AC cord to a different outlet, or installing a ground-lift (3-to-2-prong adapter) on its power cord, will eliminate the hum.

Switch TRIGGER to ‘OFF’ to maintain normal power ON/OFF function procedures. (See section also about “Trigger Setup” under the “Setup Menu” discussions.

2STANDBY LED : This indicator will light up amber when the T 765 is in standby state. When the T 765 main or zones are in the ON state, this indicator will illuminate blue. In the unlikely event that the T 765 switches to protection state, then this indicator will illuminate red. When infrared command from the HTR 3 is received, this indicator will also flash momentarily.

3INFO : Repeatedly toggle this button (press/hold first if in Tuner mode and then toggle) to display both at the Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) and On-Screen Display (OSD) the following – Current Source, Volume level, Listening mode, Audio Source Format, and active Zones with their corresponding Source Inputs. While at Tuner mode, toggle this button to cycle through Preset Name, RDS name and RDS text.

4AM/FM/DB : Toggle this button to select either AM, FM, DAB (Europe version) or XM (North America version) tuner functions.

5TUNER MODE : In FM mode, this button will toggle between FM Stereo and FM mono. Select FM Mono (FM stereo and FM Mute icons at VFD are extinguished) for stations that have too much interference or are too weak. In DAB (Europe version) or XM (North America version) radio, this button enables the digital radio menu in conjunction with the Navigation button and Enter buttons.

6MEMORY : Press this button to store tuned AM, FM and digital radio stations to the T 765’s 40 preset-memory locations. One can store a mix of any AM, FM and digital radio stations to the 40 available presets.

7.NAVIGATION and ENTER buttons : These buttons are used to navigate the T 765 OSD, Tune Scan Forwardand Tune Scan Reverse

, Preset Skip Forward and Preset Skip Reverseas well as navigation of DAB (European version), XM (North American version) tuner functions and iPod.

8VACUUM FLUORESCENT DISPLAY (VFD) : Provides visual information on all of the T 765’s important modes, settings and function for both Main and Zone locations.

9VOLUME : Use this control to adjust the volume level of the main speakers. The default volume level is -20dB. The VOLUME knob is also used to increment / decrement other adjustable parameters like Tone Controls.

10A SPEAKERS B : Press either speaker A or B or both to select the set of speakers you wish to listen to. Speaker A is the main set of 7 multichannel and surround speakers. Speaker B is an auxiliary set for remote locations such as other rooms of your home. For Speaker B selection, all surround sound sources are downmixed to stereo.

Combining Speaker A and Speaker B (SPEAKERS A + B) will also result to the source being downmixed to stereo.

FRONT PANEL

11SOURCE: Press these buttons to toggle through the input selections – Source 1, Source 2, Source 3, Source 4, iPod, Source 7, Front Input, Media Player and Tuner. More Sources could be directly recalled through these buttons upon enabling them at the Setup Menu (See the section ‘Source Setup’ at Setup Menu discussion).

12LISTENING MODE : Use to step through the T 765’s Listening mode as discussed in the section ‘About the T 765’s Listening Modes.’ Depending on the format of the currently selected input (digital or analog, stereo or multichannel), various listening modes are available.

13TONE CONTROLS : Press to adjust TREBLE control using the VOLUME knob over a + 10dB range. Press again to adjust BASS control and a third time for DIALOG control. See also section about ‘Tone Controls’ under ‘Setup Menu’ discussions.

14TONE DEFEAT : Tone Controls are enabled or disabled by pressing this button. Tone controls are bypassed at ‘Tone Defeat’ while at ‘Tone

Active,’ the tone controls are enabled again. See also section about ‘Tone Controls’ under ‘Setup Menu’ discussions.

15FRONT INPUT/MP : Use this button to directly select Front Input and Media Player. Toggle button to switch between Front Input and Media Player input.

16PHONES : Accepts stereo headphone using a standard 1/4-inch stereo phone plug (use a suitable adapter for headphones equipped with a smaller plug). For headphone listening, the Front speakers must be set to “Large” at the ‘Speaker Configuration’ of the Speaker Setup item at the Setup Menu, otherwise headphone bass response will be restricted. Plugging in headphones will automatically switch the T 765 to Stereo, Stereo Downmix or Analog Bypass modes.

17FRONT INPUT jacks : Use these convenience jacks for occasional sources such as a camcorder, tape player, video game console, any analog audio or optical digital audio and composite or S-Video video sources. If your source has a single audio out jack only or is marked ‘mono output’ , plug this into the T 765’s Front ‘R (Mono)’ input. On the other hand, if your source has two output jacks indicative of stereo output, insert both jacks into the T 765’s corresponding Front ‘L’ and ‘R (Mono)’ input to achieve stereo output as well.

18MP/MIC input : Connect your MP3’s standard stereo phone jack to this input. This is the same input where Audyssey microphone jack is connected (See also discussion about ‘Audyssey Setup).

ATTENTION!

Please make sure that the T 765 is powered off or unplugged before making any connections. It is also advisable to power-down or unplug all associated components while making or breaking any signal or AC power connections.

1DIGITAL AUDIO IN (OPTICAL 1-3, COAXIAL 1-3) : Connect to the optical or coaxial S/PDIF-format digital output of sources such as CD or DVD players, HDTV or satellite tuners and other components. Coaxial and Optical digital input association is configurable via the Setup Menu.

DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (OPTICAL, COAXIAL) : Connect the optical or coaxial digital OUT ports to the corresponding S/PDIF digital input of a recording component such as a CD recorder, DAT deck, computer soundcard or other digital processors.

2HDMI (HDMI 1-3, HDMI MONITOR OUT) : Connect HDMI inputs to the HDMI OUT connectors of source components such as DVD player or HDTV satellite/cable box. Connect the HDMI Monitor OUT to a HDTV or projector with HDMI input.

Note

HDMI supports transmission of video signals only. For audio signal, you may feed into any digital inputs of the T 765 your HDMI source’s optical or coaxial digital audio output and correspondingly assign it as your particular HDMI input’s digital audio source.

WARNING

Before connecting and disconnecting any HDMI cables, both the T 765 and the ancillary source must be powered OFF and unplugged from the AC outlet. Failure to observe this practice may cause permanent damage to all equipment connected via HDMI sockets.

3COMPONENT VIDEO 1-3 IN, COMPONENT VIDEO OUT : Connect the Component Video IN 1-3 inputs to Component Video outputs from compatible source components, typically a DVD player and terrestrial or satellite HDTV tuner. Connect Component Video OUT to the Component Video input of a compatible video monitor/TV. Be sure to observe consistency in connecting the Y/Pb/Pr jacks to the corresponding sources/inputs. The routing of the component video inputs is fully configurable via the Setup Menu. The T 765’s component video inputs and outputs are fully wideband and compatible with allowable HDTV formats.

The T 765 is optimized for Component Video Output. Composite video and S-video sources may be viewed in their native format or via Component Video OUT.

REAR PANEL

4MP DOCK : The T 765 is equipped with a data port in the rear panel where an optional NAD iPod dock station can be plugged in. Connect the optional NAD iPod docking station’s plug into the T 765’s ‘MP DOCK’ (data port).

5AUDIO 3 OUT/VIDEO 3 OUT, AUDIO 4 OUT/VIDEO 4 OUT : Connect the T 765’s AUDIO 3 OUT/VIDEO 3 OUT or AUDIO 4 OUT/VIDEO 4 OUT jacks to the analog audio/video input of a recording component

such as a cassette deck, DVD recorder or to an outboard audio/video processor. Connect the T 765’s AUDIO 3 IN/VIDEO 3 IN or AUDIO 4 IN/VIDEO 4 IN jacks to the component’s corresponding output.

The signal present at these T 765 AUDIO/VIDEO OUT jacks is determined by the source last selected via the front panel Source keys or the HTR 3’s input select keys with the exception of Source 3 or Source 4. There will be no output at AUDIO 3 OUT/VIDEO 3 OUT when Source 3 (Audio 3 IN/Video 3 IN) is selected. Likewise, there will be no output at AUDIO 4 OUT/VIDEO 4 OUT when Source 4 (Audio 4 IN/Video 4 in) is the active source input. This prevents feedback through the recording component thereby preventing possible damage to your speakers.

When configured, AUDIO 3 OUT/VIDEO 3 OUT and AUDIO 4 OUT/VIDEO 4 OUT are the same assigned ports for Zone 3 and Zone 4 respectively. See also Zone output description below.

6MONITOR (S-Video, Video) : Connect to video input of the monitor/ television using quality dual-RCA and/or S-Video cables designed for video signals. In general, the S-Video connection is superior and should be used if your TV/monitor provides the corresponding input.

7AUDIO 1 IN/VIDEO 1 IN, AUDIO 2 IN/VIDEO 2 IN, AUDIO 3 IN/VIDEO 3 IN, AUDIO 4 IN/VIDEO 4 IN, AUDIO 5 IN/VIDEO 5 IN, AUDIO 6 IN : These comprise the T 765’s principal input. Connect S-Video, composite video, and analog stereo audio from source components such as DVD players and HDTV/satellite tuners.

AUDIO 3 IN/VIDEO 3 IN, AUDIO 4 IN/VIDEO 4 IN may be used with recording components such as videocassette or DVD-recorders by connecting these components’ record-output to the corresponding T 765 AUDIO 3 IN/VIDEO 3 IN or AUDIO 4 IN/VIDEO 4 IN jacks. AUDIO 3 IN/VIDEO 3 IN or AUDIO 4 IN/VIDEO 4 IN may freely be used for playonly components, in which case their corresponding OUT jacks would

remain unconnected. Refer also to AUDIO 3 OUT/VIDEO 3 OUT, AUDIO 4 OUT/VIDEO 4 OUT discussion above.

AUDIO 6 IN is advisable to connect to dedicated analog output from line-level audio sources like a CD player or Stereo tuner.

87.1 CH INPUT : Connect to the corresponding analog audio outputs of a multichannel source component such as a DVD-Audio or multichannelSACD player or external multichannel decoder (disc copy protected formats only allow analog signal transfer). Typically, these sources will produce 5.1-channel output, in which case the Surround Back jacks are left unconnected. The signals present at these jacks may be heard by selecting Source 5 (External 7.1 audio input is defaulted to this Source).

There is no bass-management or other processing (other than mastervolume control) available to this 7.1 CH. Input. While the multi-channel audio outputs of a DVD-Video player can be connected to these jacks, using the T 765’s own Dolby Digital and DTS decoding and digital-analog converters via a digital connection will usually produce superior results.

9XM MODULE INPUT (North America version only) : Connect XM radio cable to this socket. Follow the instructions that came with your separately sold XM radio. With XM radio, there are more than 100

channels of music, news, sports, comedy, talk and entertainment. You will find that the coverage is continent wide. The music quality is digital with many commercial-free music channels.

The T 765 is compatible only with NAD DAB Adaptor DB 1 so check with your NAD dealer for this module’s availability. With DAB, you can receive CD-like quality programs without any annoying interference and signal distortion.

10RS-232 : Connect this interface via RS-232 serial cable (not supplied) to any Windows® compatible PC to allow remote control of the T 765 through NAD’s proprietary PC software or other compatible external controllers. Please log on to www.nadelectronics.com/software for the latest PC interface control software

NAD is a certified partner of AMX and Crestron and fully supports these external devices. See your NAD audio specialist for more information

11FM, AM ANTENNA INPUT : The supplied wire “dipole” FM antenna will connect to the FM connector using the supplied “balun” adapter. It will usually work best when mounted on a vertical surface such as a wall, with arms fully outstretched forming a horizontal “T” perpendicular to the origin point of the signal.

Connect the supplied AM loop antenna to these terminals. If an external AM antenna is used, make connections to the AM and GND terminals in accordance with the instructions supplied with the antenna. See also section about ‘Listening to Radio.’

12SOFT CLIPPING : Enables NAD’s proprietary Soft Clipping circuitry on all channels. At ON position, Soft Clipping gently limits the output of the T 765 to minimize audible distortion should the A/V Receiver be over-driven. Soft Clipping may simply be left ON at all times to reduce the likelihood of audible distortion from excessive volume settings. However, for critical listening and to preserve optimum dynamics, you may wish to defeat it by setting this switch OFF.

REAR PANEL

13+12 V TRIGGER OUT : There are three configurable +12V TRIGGER OUTPUT. Use a 3.5mm mini-jack connector to pass +12 volts at a maximum current of 50 milliamps to auxiliary equipment such as a multichannel amplifier or subwoofer. The center conductor (hot) of the 3.5mm jack is the control signal. The outside conductor (shield) is the ground return-path.

TRIGGER IN accepts 12V Trigger output of compatible components such as power controllers and home automation devices.

TRIGGER OFF/AUTO. When at AUTO position, the T 765 selects the 12V Trigger Input to turn ON (if so assigned at the ‘Trigger Setup’ menu) and at the same time disables the HTR 3 and front panel’s ON/OFF function. When at OFF position, the trigger input is disabled.

Warning

16AUDIO PRE-OUT : The Audio PREOUT makes it possible to use the T 765 as a pre-amplifier to external power amplifiers for some or all channels. Connect FRONT L, FRONT R, CENTER, SURR R, SURR L, SURRBL, SURR-BR and CENTER to the respective channel input of a power amplifier or amplifiers driving the corresponding applicable speakers.

Unlike the full range channels, there is no power amplifier built-into the T 765 for a subwoofer. Connect the SUBW 1 or SUBW 2 output or both to powered (“active”) subwoofers or to power amplifier channels driving a passive system.

Note

Never connect both the external amplifier and T 765’s speaker outputs to the same set of speakers.

If Auto Trigger IN at Trigger Setup menu is assigned to ‘Main’ or ‘All’ and the TRIGGER switch is set to ‘AUTO’ mode, the Power button in the front panel as well as the corresponding ON/OFF function keys in the HTR 3 remote control will be disabled effectively handing this function to an external controller. Switch TRIGGER to ‘OFF’ to maintain normal power ON/OFF function procedures.

See discussion on ‘Trigger Setup’ at the ‘Setup Menu’ literature for guidelines on how to configure TRIGGER IN/OUT.

14IR IN/OUT : These mini-jacks accept and output remote-controlled codes in electrical format, using industry-standard protocols, for use with “IR-repeater” and multi-room systems and related technologies.

IR IN. This input is connected to the output of an IR (infrared) repeater (Xantech or similar) or the IR output of another component to allow control of the T 765 from a remote location.

IR OUT 2. When connected to the IR IN of an ancillary equipment, direct the ancillary equipment’s own remote control to the T 765’s infrared receiver to command or control the linked unit.

IR IN and IR OUT 3. Connect the T 765’s IR IN to the IR OUT of an ancillary equipment. Connect also the T 765’s IR OUT 3 to another equipment with IR IN feature. With this setup, the T 765 acts as an “IRrepeater” allowing the equipment connected to the T 765’ s IR IN control or command of the other equipment linked to the T 765’s IR OUT 3.

IR OUT 1. In conjunction with IR IN, IR OUT 1 can be used as an “IRrepeater” just like the IR OUT 3 as described above. It can also stand alone as an IR OUT similar to that of IR OUT 2 function.

All NAD products with IR IN/IR OUT features are fully compatible with the T 765. For non-NAD models, please check with your other product’s service specialists as to their compatibility to the T 765’s IR features.

15ZONE 2, ZONE 3, ZONE 4 : Sends zone selected audio and video output sources to the corresponding audio and video input of another separate zone. Use high quality patch cables to reduce noise pickup over long distance runs. For a better understanding of zone settings, study below the section on ‘Zone Controls’ of the ‘Main Menu’ discussion as well as the item on ‘Zone Setup’ under the ‘Setup Menu’ literatures.

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 buttons as well as the corresponding keys on the HTR 3 remote control.

17SPEAKERS A, SPEAKERS B : Connect the respective SPEAKER A’s FRONT L, FRONT R, CENTER, SURR R, SURR L, SURR-BL, SURR-BR and CENTER channels to their corresponding loudspeakers. Make sure the “+” (red) terminal and “-“(black) terminal are connected to the

corresponding “+” and “-“terminals of the loudspeaker. Use extra care to ensure that no stray wires or strands cross between posts or terminals at either end.

Connect left and right channels of Speakers B to the corresponding remote loudspeakers. When Speakers B is activated, the output is converted to ‘Stereo Downmix’ as indicated in the VFD. Combining Speaker A and Speaker B (SPEAKERS A + B) will also result to the source being downmixed to stereo.

The T 765 is designed to produce optimum sound quality when connected to speakers with impedances within its operating range. Please make sure that all the speakers are rated 4Ω minimum per speaker.

Note

Use stranded wire of at least 16 gauge (AWG). Connections to the T 765 can be made with banana plugs (US model only) or by using bare wire or pins. Use the transverse hole through the post for bare-wire or pin connections. By loosening the terminal’s plastic nut, make a clean, neat connection and re-tighten carefully. To minimize the danger of shortcircuit, ensure that only 1/2-inch of exposed wire or pin is employed when connecting.

18AC POWER INLET : Connect to the supplied IEC-standard removable AC power cord or a compatible cord.

19SWITCHED AC OUTLET : This convenience outlet can supply switched power to another component or accessory. It is powered ON and OFF by the front panel POWER SWITCH or by the HTR 3’s ON and OFF keys.

The total draw of all devices connected to this jack must not exceed 120 watts.

20POWER : The POWER switch supplies the master AC mains power for the T 765. When this switch is at ON position, the T 765 is in standby mode as shown by the amber status condition of the standby LED. If you intend not to use the T 765 for long periods of time (such as when on vacation), switch the POWER switch to the OFF position. When the POWER switch is at OFF position, the front panel power button, HTR 3 remote control or ZR 4 cannot activate the T 765.

MAIN MENU

The Main Menu contains the menu options for ‘Listening Mode,’‘DSP Options,’‘Tone Controls,’ ’Zone

Controls’ and access to ‘Setup Menu.’

To navigate through these Main Menu options and their sub-menu selections, please refer to and follow the directions stated in the sections ‘Display the OSD’ and ‘Navigating the OSD and Making Changes.’

Note

The individual configurations set forth at ‘Listening Mode,’ ‘DSP Options’ and ‘Tone Controls’ are carried over whenever they are enabled during A/V Preset setting. Please see the section ‘AV Presets’ for reference.

Listening Mode

The T 765 offers nine distinct listening modes, tailored for different types of recording or program material. With a two-channel (Stereo) source, the 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 “Stereo Downmix” mode via the front left/right channels only as Lt/Rt (left/right-total) signals.

Dolby Pro Logic

Two-channel recordings, whether stereo or surround-encoded, are reproduced with Dolby Pro Logic surround processing, yielding output to front left/right, center and discrete left/right surround channels (assuming these are present in the current ‘Speaker Configuration’). The surround channel is monophobic, but it is reproduced in both surround speakers.

DOLBY PRO LOGIC PLII

Dolby Pro Logic II is a more recent evolution of the original Dolby Pro Logic surround processing that 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.
