USING THE NAD HTR-1 UNIVERSAL REMOTE CONTROL WITH THE NAD T761 AV RECEIVER
The NAD HTR-1 Universal Remote control packed with your NAD T761 AV receiver has been pre-configured to
operate all controls. Besides operating the receiver, the HTR-1 can replace up to eight remote controls for different
devices. It has a database of remote control commands built-in for a large range of different brands and devices.
In case your particular brand or model isn’t featured in the database, the HTR-1 can also “learn” remote commands
from the original remote control of the device. Refer to the HTR-1 instruction manual on how to program.
The table below indicates the locations and functions available; the numbers refer to the drawing in the NAD HTR1 manual. Refer to the T761 instruction manual for explanation of specific functions.
Make sure the “AMP” mode has been selected when using the HTR-1 Universal Remote Control to operate your
receiver.

INTRODUCTION
The NAD HTR-1 Universal Remote Control can replace up to eight different individual remote controls, offering
command of the most important and often used controls, thus significantly reducing “remote control clutter”:
Amplifier, Tuner, CD, DVD, VCR, TV, Cable, Custom.
If the NAD HTR-1 came packed with an NAD product, such as an AV receiver, all commands will already have been
programmed in and is ready for use with the product. Where appropriate, the correct generic remote control
commands for other NAD products, such as CD players for instance, have also been programmed in.
The HTR-1 comes with a large database of remote control commands for other brands, making it easy to configure
to suit the particular mix of brands and models in your system. The database contains remote control commands for
over four hundred brands. In the unlikely case you are not able to find the remote control commands for a specific
brand, the HTR-1 also allows you to “learn” remote commands from the original remote control so that that device
can still be remotely operated with the NAD HTR-1.
GENERAL
Alkaline batteries are recommended for maximum operating life. Three AAA (R 03) batteries should be fitted in the
battery compartment at the rear of the Remote Control handset. When replacing batteries, check that they have
been put in the right way round, as indicated on the base of the battery compartment.
The keys on the HTR-1 are backlit for ease of operation in darkened environments. Backlighting is automatically
activated as soon as any key is pressed. To preserve batteries, it switches itself off automatically five seconds after
the last key press.
When you find that operating range and angle are rapidly decreasing and that the key backlighting is getting
dimmer, it may be time to replace the batteries. The NAD HTR-1 has a non-volatile memory so that, even if the
batteries are removed for a prolonged period of time, it will retain all settings and commands as programmed. The
HTR-1 will operate up to a distance of 16ft (5m). Direct sunlight or very bright ambient lighting may affect the
operating range and angle.
NOTE
There must be a clear line-of-sight path from the remote control to each of the devices’ infrared receiver (usually
located behind a display window on the front panel); if that path is obstructed, the remote control may work
erratically or not at all.
USING THE NAD HTR-1
The HTR-1 will replicate the most common commands for the device selected. For instance, “CHANNEL UP” will
advance preset or channel selection for either Tuner, TV or Cable device; but will move cursor up with DVD selected
as device. Once the remote control has been configured to suit your system (refer to chapters “Setting up Preprogrammed Remote commands” and “Learning Remote Commands”) it is ready for use. The numbers refer to
the drawing.
The table below specifies what commands are available for all devices in the factory default setting. The devices
Amp, Tuner, CD and DVD come standard with remote control commands suitable for most NAD remote controlled
products.
NOTE
The key listing below specifies what each key will do from the factory default setting for the various devices.
Refer to the original instruction manual for the devices in your system to check how these respond to specific
commands.
Not all commands on the HTR-1 may be available for the devices it is used with or there may be commands
not available on your specific device. The key listing below assumes factory default setting or settings from
database but not remote commands learned from an original remote control
SELECTING WHICH DEVICE TO OPERATE
Each of the four device keys allows operation of two different devices, up to eight different devices can be
controlled. The devices that can be controlled are labelled on the key itself and directly over it.
SELECTING PRIMARY DEVICES
To access one of the four primary devices (the ones as labelled on the key itself: AMP, TUNER, CD, DVD), simply
press the required key.
Primary Device keys: AMP; TUNER; CD; DVD (No. 3).
SELECTING SECONDARY DEVICES
To access one of the secondary devices, first press the “SHIFT” key (No. 9) (STATUS LED, No. 1, lights up), and within
the default time of 5 seconds, press the required device key (VCR, TV, CABLE, CUSTOM). The Device key will light
up with Status LED briefly to confirm, after which both will extinguish.
After selecting a primary or secondary device by pressing the key(s) as described above, the other keys on the
remote control will be set to operate the chosen device. For instance, with TUNER selected as device, the
“CHANNEL UP” and “DOWN” keys (No. 5) will select the next higher, respectively next lower tuner preset station.
With DVD selected as device, the same keys will move the DVD Menu cursor Up or Down.
When pressing a key, the selected Device key will flash to indicate a command is being transmitted. If the selected
device key doesn’t flash when pressing a key, it means that the key doesn’t have a function for the device selected.
STATUS LED (NO.1)
This LED will light up to indicate status: Use of “SHIFT” key (No. 9) and Set-up mode. The LED will light up green for
up to 5 seconds once the “SHIFT” key (No. 9) has been pressed. Within these 5 seconds, one of the four device keys
(No. 3) can be pressed to switch the remote control to one of the secondary devices (VCR, TV, CABLE, CUSTOM).
The Device key will light up with Status LED briefly to confirm, after which both will extinguish. The LED will
extinguish within 5 seconds if no other key is pressed or if “SHIFT” is pressed again.
The LED will light up red to enter set-up mode (pressing “POWER ON/OFF” No. 2; and “MUTE” No. 14
simultaneously for two seconds). Refer to chapters “Setting up Pre-programmed Codes” and “Learning Remote
Commands” for additional information.
SETTING UP PRE-PROGRAMMED CODES
The HTR-1 has an extensive library built-in for pre-programmed remote control commands for many different
brands. By entering the device code for the particular device and brand, all major functions for that device can be
controlled with the HTR–1.
There are two ways of setting up the remote control for pre-programmed remote commands:
• By using the LIBRARY SEARCH routine
• By entering the MANUFACTURER ID CODE
SET-UP BY LIBRARY SEARCH
1 Switch on your device manually or with your original remote control.
2 Press the POWER ON/OFF (No. 2) and MUTE keys (No. 14) together for approximately 2 seconds until STATUS
LED (No.1) stays red.
3 Press the required DEVICE key (No. 3); the DEVICE key will light up.
4 Press the POWER ON/OFF key (No. 2) and hold down for 2 seconds then release for 2 seconds. Repeat this
process until your device switches off or to Stand-by. NOTE: If you accidentally skipped a code that turned
your device off, you can go one code back by pressing the MUTE key (No. 14). If there is no Power On/Off
code for a particular device, the HTR-1 will transmit a “Play” command instead.
5 After your device has switched off, press the lit DEVICE Key once to stop the LIBRARY SEARCH.
6 Try the appropriate keys to see if the corresponding function for your device work (in case your device switched
off completely, it may be necessary to manually power it up again).
• If find you find that not all the keys appropriate for your device operate correctly, press the DEVICE Key
for 1 second; the DEVICE Key will flash once. Repeat step 4 to find the set of remote commands that
best operates your device. Once found, proceed with step 7 to store.
7 If you find all the major functions work correctly with your device, press the DEVICE Key (No.3) 3 times until
the DEVICE Key and STATUS LED (No. 1) go out. The code is now stored.

4 With the correct code entered, press the DEVICE Key 3 times until the DEVICE Key and STATUS LED go out.
The code is now stored.
LEARNING REMOTE COMMANDS
The HTR-1 allows you to learn commands within already set-up devices. This way, you can add a desired specific
function for your device to the selected pre-programmed set of remote commands, by learning that command into
the required key for that device. In case none of the pre-programmed set of remote commands are suitable for
your device, you can let the HTR-1 learn the remote commands for the device.
You can over-write already learned commands or commands from the pre-programmed library; this does not affect
the other commands already available for the selected device.
NOTE
The NAD HTR-1 can only learn infrared commands. It is not compatible with UHF and Ultrasonic remote
controls. There are some infrared remote controls that use encoding methods, which the HTR-1 cannot learn.
At least104 commands can be learned.
No remote commands can be learned into the DEVICE keys (No. 3) and SHIFT key (No. 9).
