• Key illumination with programmable timeout

•Upgradable

• Contains pre-programmed library of NAD remote codes for the L56.

The NAD HTR L76 is ready to operate the L56 DVD player right out of the box, but it is really eight remotes in one. Each of the 8 Device Selector keys at the top of the handset can call up a new “page” of remotecontrol codes to be transmitted by the remaining 44 keys. You may “teach” codes from any infraredremote-controlled component, regardless 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’s 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 L76 is already preprogrammed with a full complement of commands for the L76 receiver on its “AMP”, “TUNER” and “DVD” Device Selector page, and as well as with library commands to operate most NAD-brand DVD, CD, or TAPE components on the corresponding Device Selector “pages.” These default commands are permanent: Even if you teach the HTR L76 new commands to take their place, the underlying library commands remain in place and can easily be recalled should you add an NAD component to your system later (see “Delete Mode,” below).

NOTE

For use with the L56, it should not be necessary to re-program any keys on the HTR L76 “AMP” and L56 “DVD” page. However, in order for the HTR L76 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 L56

The HTR L76 is divided into two main sections. Eight Device Selector keys at the top-“AMP”, “DVD,” “TV,” and so on-set the handset’s remaining keys to a “page” of commands to control a particular component. A Device Select key determines only what component the HTR L76 will command; it does not perform any function on the receiver. All of the 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 L76.

However, the HTR L76 is already preprogrammed to operate the L56. All of the function keys on the “AMP”, “TUNER” and “DVD” Device Selector “page” perform L76 functions. (The HTR L76 can also command many other NAD components, from its “CD” and “TAPE” pages.)

It is important to note that certain HTR L76 keys perform different functions depending on the selected Device Selector “page.” The colour of the Device Selector key-labelling corresponds to the labelling of the function keys. Most centrally, the orange “AMP” Device Selector “page” corresponds to the orange input-select labelling adjacent to the numeric keys: When the HTR L76’s “AMP” Device Selector page is active, these keys select the receiver inputs. Similarly, the red “DVD” Device Selector “page” corresponds to several red labels, the green “TV” page to green labels, and so on.

IDENTIFICATION OF CONTROLS

LEARNING CODES FROM OTHER REMOTES

Begin by positioning the HTR L76 “nose-to-nose” with the source remote so the two devices’ infrared windows are about 2 inches apart.

• Enter Learning Mode: On the HTR L76, simultaneously press-and-hold for 3 seconds both a Device

Selector key and the “OPEN/CLOSE” key (just below the “DISP” key), until the Learn LED at the centre of the HTR L76 turns steady green.

•Press the HTR L76’s 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 L76’s Learn LED will flicker amber

for a second or two, then turn solid green. The command is learned.

•Press the HTR L76’s Device Selector key again to exit the learning mode.

If the 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.

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.

Example: Learning “VCR Pause”:

Position the HTR L76 and your VCR player’s remote as described above.

• On the HTR L76, simultaneously press-and-hold “VCR” and ; the Learn LED turns steady

green.

•Press the HTR L76’s (pause) key; the Learn LED turns amber.

•Press-and-hold the VCR player’s remote’s pause key; the HTR L76’s Learn LED flickers amber and

then turns solid green. The command is learned.

•Press “VCR” again to exit the learning mode.

PUNCH-THROUGH

The HTR L76’s “punch-through” function allows you to retain a function key from one Device Select “page” on another, so that, for example, the AMP “SURR MODE” function might still control the L76 when the DVD Device Selector page is active

The HTR L76’s “VOL” and “MUTE” keys are pre-programmed as “punched-through” for all Device Select pages: “VOL” will operate the L76’s master-volume regardless of the currently 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 punchedthrough, 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 the from the DVD “page” to the AMP “SURR MODE” key:

• On the HTR L76, simultaneously press-and-hold “DVD” and (OPEN/CLOSE); 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.

IDENTIFICATION OF CONTROLS

COPY A COMMAND FROM ANOTHER KEY

You may copy a command from any HTR L76 key to any other. To copy a 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 first pressed its Device Selector key if it resides on another “page.” The status LED will turn green; press the Device Selector key again to exit Learning Mode.

Example: Copy the Pause command from the DVD page to the AMP key:

• On the HTR L76, simultaneously press-and-hold “AMP” and (OPEN/CLOSE); the Learn LED

turns steady green.

•Press (pause); the Learn LED turns amber.

•Press “CD”; press (pause); 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 key’s command remains unchanged. If 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 a 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 SURROUND MODE, and begin playback-again, all from a single keypress. The HTR L76 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, simultaneously press-and-hold for 3 seconds both the “MACRO” key and the HTR L76 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 for each function (you may switch devices while recording 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 illumination will turn off.

NOTE

Each macro can store a maximum of 64 command steps. If 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 L56, Select the DVD Input, and Commence Playback:

• On the HTR L76, simultaneously press-and-hold “MACRO” and “0” (numeric zero); the Learn LED

turns steady green.

•Press “AMP”; press “ON”; press “1” (orange “DVD”); press “DVD”; press “play” (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.

IDENTIFICATION OF CONTROLS

EXECUTING MACROS

To execute a macro, press and release “MACRO”; its key illumination lights for 5 seconds. While it remains lit, press an HTR L76 key to which a macro has previously been stored. The corresponding macro will run; as each step executes, its “parent” Device Selector’s key flashes lights briefly; when execution is finished, the “MACRO” key illumination goes out. Pressing any other HTR L76 key while a macro is executing will abort the macro. Remember that you must hold the HTR L76 so that its infrared emitter 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.

KEY-ILLUMINATION TIMEOUT

The HTR L76’s key-illumination can be set to remain lit for 0-9 seconds. The default value is 5 seconds.

To set the illumination timeout, simultaneously press-and-hold for 3 seconds both the HTR L76s “DISP” 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 illumination is the biggest drain on the HTR L76s batteries. A short key-illumination timeout will extend battery life appreciably; turning it off altogether (set it to 0 seconds) will lengthen it still further.

FACTORY RESET

The HTR L76 can be reset to its factory state, deleting all learned commands, copied and punchedthrough 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 L76’s “ON” and “RTN” keys; the Learn LED will start to flash green. Release “ON” and “RTN” before the second flash is complete; the Learn LED will turn red, indicate 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 L76 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 L76 commands 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 commands 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 key’s 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 activesee 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.

IDENTIFICATION OF CONTROLS

LOADING CODE-LIBRARIES

The HTR L76 can store a different library of default NAD codes for each of its Device Selector “pages.” If the original default library does not control your NAD CD player, tape deck, DVD player, or other component, follow the procedure below to change the code-library.

Begin by ensuring that the component you wish the HTR L76 to control is plugged in and powered-up (“on,” not merely in standby). To enter the HTR L76’s Library Mode, simultaneously press-and-hold for 3 seconds both the desired Device Selector key and the “PROGRAM” key, until the Learn LED turns green. While keeping the HTR L76 pointed toward the component, enter the first appropriate three-digit codelibrary number from the table below. If the component turns off, press “ENTER” to accept that codelibrary number and exit the Library Mode. If the component does not turn off, enter the next three-digit code-library number from the table. When you enter the correct number the component will turn off; press “ENTER” to accept that code-library number and exit the Library Mode.

DVD T531, T571 602

DVD T512, T532, T572 602

SEARCH MODE

If none of the codes from the table turn off the component, and if you are quite sure you have followed the above procedure completely and carefully, you may want to try the “search” method as follows:

Enter Library Mode by simultaneously pressing-and-holding for 3 seconds both the desired Device Selector key and the “PROGRAM” key, until the Learn LED turns green. Now press-and-hold the HTR L76’s or key; the remote will step through all the available codes at a rate of approximately 1 per second. When the component turns off, immediately release the cursor key; press “ENTER” to accept that codelibrary and exit the Library Mode. Try a few commands; should you prove to have stepped past the needed code-library, re-enter the Library Mode and use the cursor key to step back to it.

NOTE

It is possible that search mode will find code-libraries that operate, at least partially , some other-brand (non-NAD) components. You may certainly exploit such capabilities as you find them. However, since we can only ensure the completeness or accuracy of NAD code-libraries, we cannot support the HTR L76’s operation with other-brand components.

IDENTIFICATION OF CONTROLS

CHECKING CODE-LIBRARY NUMBER

You can check the current code-library on any Device Selector key as follows. Enter Library Mode by simultaneously pressing-and-holding for 3 seconds both the desired component’s Device Selector key and the “PROGRAM” key, until the Learn LED turns green. Press the “DISP” key; the HTR L76 indicates the current code-library by flashing its “TAPE”, “VCR”, and “MACRO” keys. For example, to indicate codelibrary #501 the HTR L76 will flash “TAPE” 5 times, pause, and then flash “MACRO” once. You might wish to make a note of your components’ code-library numbers.
