THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING NAD.
The T 765 A/V Receiver is a technologically advanced and highly capable
product — yet we have invested great eort 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 condently 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 exible 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™ amplier technology
for all channels to preserve accurate, linear reproduction regardless
of the loudspeaker. This uniquely ecient power-supply topology
provides the real-world benets 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 exible 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 articially generated reections
or regeneration. EARS’ natural ambience yields a subtle but exceptionally
eective 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.
ZONE
The T 765 A/V Receiver is equipped with three congurable 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/O and all sources inputs. Zone 3 and Zone 4 could
be congured 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 conguration is possible with the RS-232 interface and
NAD’s proprietary Windows® compatible software. We are also certied
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 exible 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 les 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

EASE OF USE
Despite the eort 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

WHAT’S IN THE BOX
Packed with your T 765 A/V Receiver you will nd
• An AM loop antenna
• A FM ribbon-wire antenna with balun
• A removable 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 ZR 4 zone remote control with 3V CR2025 battery.
• This owner’s manual.
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 rst 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.
Suce it to say that these two questions will inuence 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 sucient 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 airow.
QUICK START
Packed with your T 765 is a Quick Start Guide that will guide you through typical setup congurations
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:
Source Audio Input Video Input Video Output

To modify the above default settings and for a better understanding of source setting and
combinations, please refer to the section on ‘Source Setup’ of the Setup Menu discussion.
NOTES
• Digital input will always take precedence over analog audio input even if both are present.
• 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 copper- and 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.
INTRODUCTION
GETTING STARTED
ENGLISHFRANÇAISESPAÑOLITALIANODEUTSCHNEDERLANDSSVENSKAРУССКИЙ
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 dierent outlet, or installing a
ground-lift (3-to-2-prong adapter) on its power cord, will eliminate the hum.

channels. Connect FRONT L, FRONT R, CENTER, SURR R, SURR L, SURRBL, SURR-BR and CENTER to the respective channel input of a power
amplier or ampliers driving the corresponding applicable speakers.
Unlike the full range channels, there is no power amplier 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 amplier channels driving
a passive system.
NOTE
Never connect both the external amplier and T 765’s speaker outputs to
the same set of speakers.
17 SPEAKERS 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.
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 “IR-
repeater” 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.
15 ZONE 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,

for reference.
LISTENING MODE
The T 765 oers nine distinct listening modes, tailored for dierent 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 Conguration’). 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, oering
sound that is more similar to Dolby Digital decoding.

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 IIx, you can choose PLIIx Movie or PLIIx 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 oering sound that is more similar to
Dolby Digital decoding. For two channel signals, Dolby Pro Logic IIx 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

DTS NEO: 6
Two-channel recordings, whether stereo or surround-encoded, are reproduced with Neo: 6 surround
with output to front left/right, center and discrete left/right surround channels plus subwoofer
(assuming these are present in the current ‘Speaker Conguration’). The T 765 provides two DTS Neo: 6
variations - CINEMA and MUSIC. See also section about ‘Adjusting Listening Modes’ below.
EARS
Two-channel recordings, whether stereo or surround-encoded, are reproduced with proprietary NAD
surround processing with signals output to the front left/right, center and discrete left/right surround
channels, plus subwoofer (assuming these are present in the current ‘Speaker Conguration.’). 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 of the 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 nearly all “natural-acoustic” stereo recordings. Typically, these
include classical, jazz, and folk genres as well as numerous examples from others. Its virtues include
realistic, stable “front-stage” sonic imaging and spacious but unexaggerated ambient “virtual acoustics”
that remain faithful to the original recording.

ENHANCEDSTEREO
All recordings are reproduced in stereo via the maximum speaker complement congured in the
current ‘Speaker Conguration.’ 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.
ANALOG BYPASS
All analog signals remain in the analog domain without analog-to-digital conversions. At Analog
Bypass, the DSP circuitry is bypassed but full tone control functions remain. ‘Bass management’ or
‘Speaker Settings’ are also not in eect as these are DSP functions.
ADjUSTING LISTENING MODES
Several of the T 765’s listening modes have one or more selectable variations and adjustable
parameters that you can modify to suit you system or personal preferences. At Listening Mode menu,
use a combination of ENTER and keys to navigate and eect desired settings.

Select ‘7.1 Input’ to choose the audio signal fed to ‘7.1 Channel Input.’ If ‘O’ is selected, no incoming
analog audio signal is selected by the particular Source.
NOTE
An incoming digital signal present at the assigned digital input will always take precedence over the
assigned analog audio input, even if both are present. To maintain the analog audio input for the
particular Source, select ‘O’ at the ‘Digital Audio’ setting of the same ‘Source’ menu.
GAIN
Gain adjustment allows all sources to play back at the same volume so you don’t need to adjust the
volume every time a new source is selected. It is generally preferable to reduce the level of the loudest
source rather than making louder the softer sources.
Scroll to ‘Gain’, press and then to step through the desired level from -12dB to 12dB.
DIGITAL AUDIO
To take advantage of the T 765’s high performance surround and digital audio circuitry, it is advisable
that its Digital Audio inputs are selected.
There are two types of Digital Audio input for the T 765. These are Optical and Coaxial digital inputs. A
third option is ‘O’ whereby no incoming digital audio signal is selected by the particular Source.
The desired digital audio input for a particular Source can be selected by scrolling to ‘Digital Audio’,
press and then to step through the desired digital input source. After nalizing the desired type
of Digital Audio input, press and then again to select the specic Digital Audio input.
There are seven Digital Audio inputs selectable for the T 765. They are the following
Optical ➜ Optical 1, Optical 2, Optical 3, Optical Front
Coaxial ➜ Coaxial 1, Coaxial 2, Coaxial 3
NOTE
An incoming digital signal present at the assigned digital input will always take precedence over the
assigned analog audio input, even if both are present. To maintain the analog audio input for the
particular Source, select ‘O’ at the ‘Digital Audio’ setting of the same ‘Source’ menu.
VIDEO
There are four types of video input a particular Source could be assigned. These are HDMI, Component,
S-Video and Video inputs. A fth option is ‘O’ wherein the particular Source is prompted not to select
any Video input.
Navigate through the Video input selections by pressing and then to step through the
selections. The following are the assignable Video inputs

Video ➜ Video 1, Video 2, Video 3, Video 4, Video 5, Video Front
ABOUT VIDEO FORMATS
For many years, there was only one type of video format used. Composite video signals include the
Luminance (black & White) and Chroma (color) signals combined on one wire. S-Video uses separate
wires in a single cable for Luminance and Chroma signals. Component Video goes a step further
with separate cables for Luminance and the two elements of Chroma. For NTSC (America, Japan)
as well as PAL signals(Europe, Asia) these are labeled Y, Cr, Cb. Television studios use the Component
Video format to keep these signals separate in order to maintain the best quality. As consumer video
equipment has improved this higher quality format has been included.
VIDEO FORMAT CONVERSION
The T 765 is equipped with a Video Format Converter. This allows for a simplied video
connectionbetween the T 765 and your TV Monitor when using multiple video formats such as
Composite (CVBS), S-Video, and Component (YUV). This format change is accomplished by encoding
the analog video signal intoa digital signal using a very high quality digital encoder to maintain the
best possible picture quality. Once in a digital format, it can be decoded into any of the three standard
analog video formats.
It is suggested that you select the highest quality video format available on your TV Monitor and
utilize this for your Monitor OUT connection from the T 765 to the TV Monitor. In most cases this will
be Component Video, but on some older TV’s S-Video may be the best quality connection. See also
the item “3 COMPONENT VIDEO 1-3, COMPONENT VIDEO OUT” under “Identication of Controls – Rear
Panel” discussions.

Trigger Out ➜ 1 ➜ 2 ➜ 1 + 2 ➜ 3 ➜ 1 + 3 ➜ 2 + 3 ➜ 1+2+ 3
These combinations are dependent on the assignment of ‘Source Setup’ for ‘Trigger 1 Out, Trigger 2
Out or Trigger 3 Out’ at the Trigger Setup menu.
Another option is ‘None’ whereby the particular Source is not assigned any Trigger Out.
For ‘Trigger Out’ to become enabled and assignable at ‘Source Setup (Normal View)’ menu, make sure

SPEAKER SETUP
After connecting all ancillary sources and other combinations, the Speaker Setup menu will guide
you on how to manage and setup your speakers in order to achieve optimum sound acoustics in your
listening environment.
The following are the Speaker Setup Menu sections.
AUDYSSEY SETUP
It has been shown that many, if not most, surround sound systems are not accurately congured and setup.
This requires special knowledge and instrumentation that the average person probably doesn’t possess.
The T 765 has the capability to automatically setup your own unique Home Theatre’s speaker system.
This is achievable through the T 765’s Audyssey Setup feature along with the sophisticated digital
electronics built into your unit.
The installation of your new T 765 is greatly simplied by Audyssey Setup with the end result of
delivering the best quality sound possible given the type of speakers you have as well as your listening
room’s dimensions.
Audyssey Setup takes up only a fraction of time to run compared with setting up your speakers
manually and then achieve results that rival other expensive test and setup measuring devices.
The following measurements are performed:
• Detection : Speaker conguration is detected including the number of surround speakers and
whether a subwoofer and center channel is connected.
• Size : T 765 crossover is set based on each channel’s signal handling capability and the subwoofer
crossover is automatically set.
• Level : SPL of each speaker is matched within 1dB at the microphone position.
• Distance : is accurately set to within 1 foot (30 centimeters) of the microphone for each speaker
position.
• Polarity : the setup program will detect and notify the user if any speakers are connected
improperly. Incorrect polarity can ruin the illusion of realism oered by surround sound.
This is a one-time setup, unless speakers are moved or changed, in which case Audyssey Setup should
be performed again.
MEASUREMENT IS THE FIRST STEP
Connect the Audyssey microphone jack into the front panel’s MP/MIC input and the Audyssey Setup
wizard will guide you through a simple step-by-step conguration.
The sound at your main listening position is setup using the supplied Audyssey microphone. A special
test tone is sent to each speaker and the data is memorized by the T 765. The duration of setup may
take some time depending on the number of speakers. After the measurements, Audyssey calculates
the ideal system response for your particular room and speaker setup.
If some inconsistencies or discrepancies are detected during the Audyssey setup, the process
maybe interrupted or the problem is shown in the particular setup window. A notice screen is
correspondingly displayed. After following and undertaking the displayed instructions, re-start the
Audyssey setup again. When the measurements are nalized, 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 aect
as well your other household members and even your neighbor.
It is recommended that you take full advantage of the T 765’s Audyssey Setup feature for your speaker
setup. However, if you desire to setup your speakers manually or if you already had run Audyssey Setup
but would like to make adjustments, the following sections on Speaker Conguration, Speaker Levels
and Speaker Distance can also be followed and implemented.

NOTE
During manual setting of your speakers, previously calibrated Audyssey settings could be retrieved
by re-adjusting back the altered congurations as highlighted by an asterisk.
SPEAKER CONFIGURATION
Every surround-sound system requires “bass-management” to direct low-frequency content from any
or all channels to the speakers best able to reproduce it. For this function to operate correctly, it is
important that you correctly identify your speakers’ capabilities. We use the terms “Small” and “Large”
(and “O”) but note that physical size may be irrelevant.
• A "Small" speaker is any model, regardless of physical size, that lacks signicant deep-bass response,
that is, below about 80 Hz.
• A "Large" speaker is any full-range model; that is, one with deep-bass response
• An "O" speaker is one that is not present in your system. For example, you might not have any
surround-back speakers installed; in that case, you would set the ‘Surround’ setup item to "O".

The Speaker Conguration is “global”; that is, it remains in force with all inputs and in all listening
modes. However, speaker settings are part of the T 765’s Preset system. Consequently, multiple speaker
settings can be stored for easy recall as dierent types of recordings or listening modes require.
Speaker Conguration can be managed and adjusted by pressing a combination of and then
keys. Set ‘Front,’ ‘Center,’ and ‘Surround’ to “Large,” “Small” or “O” as your subsystem’s speakers require.
The ‘Back’ speakers can either be one or two speakers. Set ‘Back’ to either 1 or 2 speakers as per
availability. Set ‘Subwoofer’ to “On” or “O,” selecting “On” only if you have a subwoofer connected to the
T 765’s SUBW1 or SUBW2 output jack.
ENHANCED BASS
When the subwoofer is set to ON and one or more speakers are set to “Large”, Enhanced Bass is also
available. Normally, with speakers set to “Large” the subwoofer is not active. The Enhanced Bass option
allows full range operation of the speakers with the additional bass contribution of the subwoofer. This
feature is particularly useful when one wants to experience maximum bass output. Please note that
due to acoustic cancellation eects, the bass response may be uneven when using this setting
You can set Subwoofer to “On” even with “Large” front speakers, in which case bass content from any
channels set to “Small” will be routed to both the subwoofer and to the front speakers; LFE-channel
signal will pass only to the sub. In most subwoofer-equipped systems, setting front speakers to “Small”
is usually the better option.
All the speakers’ low frequency content can be directly adjusted within the range 40Hz to 200Hz.
NOTE
The congurations set forth at ‘Speaker Setup’ are carried over whenever it is enabled during A/V
Preset setting. Please see also the section ‘AV Presets’ for reference.
SPEAKER LEVELS
Adjusting the relative balance of your system’s loudspeakers ensures that surround-sound recordings, whether
music or lm, will present the balance of eects, music, and dialog that the artists intended. Additionally, if your
system incorporates a subwoofer it establishes a correct relationship between the volume of the subwoofer
and the other speakers, and thus of low-frequencies (bass) to other sonic elements.
USING AN SPL METER
It is quite practical to perform the T 765 level setup routines “by ear,” and careful work will produce
acceptably accurate results. However, the use of an inexpensive sound-pressure level (SPL) meter,
such as Radio Shack part number 33-2050, makes this task easier, more accurate and more repeatable.
Ownership of such a meter could prove a valuable audio tool. Your NAD audio specialist may be able
to help you with temporary use of a meter.
The SPL meter should be placed at the primary listening position, at approximately the height of
the seated listener’s head. A tripod is helpful but with a little duct tape almost anything — a pole
lamp, music-stand, or ladder-backed chair, for example — can do as well. Just be sure that no large
acoustically reective surfaces obstruct or are near the microphone element.
Orient the meter with its microphone (usually at one end) pointing straight up toward the ceiling (not
toward the speakers) and ensure that “C” weighting scale is selected. Set the meter to display 75 dB
SPL. On Radio Shack meters, this necessitates either setting the meter to its 80 dB range and taking
your readings at the -5 point or selecting the 70 dB range and reading at the +5 point.

SETTING SPEAKER LEVELS AT TEST MODE
While at ‘Speaker Levels’ menu, press the HTR 3 remote’s ‘Test’ key activating the T 765’s Speaker Levels
balancing test signal . You will hear a “surf” sound as you step through your speakers (‘test’ appears to
the right side of the current speaker), beginning with the Front Left. If you do not hear the test signal,
check your speaker connections or your ‘Speaker settings’ OSD menu settings.
Use the remote’s keys to adjust the loudness of the noise output from the currently playing
channel to the required level (it’s usually simplest to begin with the Front Left). As you cycle the test
signal around the speakers, the OSD will highlight the currently playing channel. The “level oset”
reading on the right will change by 1 dB increments; ±12 dB adjustment is available. Press ‘ENTER’ to
adjust the next speaker.
NOTE
If you are balancing levels “by ear”, choose one speaker—usually the center—as a reference and
adjust each of the others in turn to “sound as loud” as the reference. Be sure that you remain in the
primary listening position while balancing all channels.
To produce the same SPL meter reading (or subjective loudness), use the remote’s keys to adjust each speaker.
NOTE
• All speakers must be in their nal locations before level-setting.
• Your subwoofer (if any) should be set with its integral crossover defeated, or if undefeatable, set to
its highest-possible frequency if you are using the T 765's Subwoofer output. Final subwoofer-level
adjustment “by-ear,” using music and lm sound material, is frequently useful.
• Due to the eects of room acoustics, matched-pair speakers (front; surround; back) will not always
calibrate to exactly the same level oset readings.
You can exit ‘Test’ mode at any time by pressing key, bringing you back to ‘Speaker Setup’ menu. You
can also press the ‘TEST’ key to discontinue the ‘Test’ mode.

USING THE T 765 SETUP MENU
SPEAKER DISTANCE
Your system’s speaker distance settings are a subtle but important renement of your setup. Informing
the T 765 of the loudspeaker-to-listener dimensions of each speaker automatically imposes the correct
delays, optimizing imaging, intelligibility and surround-sound ambience. Enter your dimensions with
precision within about 1 foot (30 cm).
SETTING SPEAKER DISTANCE
While at ‘Speaker Distance’ menu, use the keys to individually set Front Left, Center, Front Right,
Surround Right, Back, Surround Left and Subwoofer to the distance measuring from your principal
listening position to the front surface of their corresponding loudspeakers. Distance can be set up to 30
feet or 9.1 meters Distance can be displayed as feet or meters selectable at the ‘Unit of Measure’ item.
ADjUSTING THE VOLUME
In addition to the Volume knob, use the HTR 3’s VOL to adjust the “master volume” of the T 765 raising
or lowering the channels altogether. A momentary keypress will change the master volume by 1 dB
increments. If you hold down VOL , the master-volume change will “run-on” until the key is released.
Since recordings vary considerably in overall average level, there is no imperative to listen at any
particular master-volume setting. A setting of -20 may sound “as loud” from one CD or DVD as -10 does
from another.
The T 765 will power-up from Standby mode at whatever master volume setting was last used;
however, if the prior setting was greater than –20 dB, the T 765 will power up at –20 dB. This prevents
inadvertently beginning a session at excessive volume.
MUTING THE SOUND
Use the HTR 3’s ‘Mute’ key to silence all channels completely. Muting is always available regardless of
the source or listening mode selections.
NOTE
• Changing input or listening-mode selections does not release muting.
• Adjusting the master-volume upward via the HTR 3 or the front-panel knob automatically releases
the mute function.
ADjUSTING CHANNEL LEVELS ‘ON THE FLY’
You can make changes to the relative levels of center, surround and subwoofer outputs without
having to go into the ‘Speaker Levels’ menu. This is very convenient in circumstances like increasing (or
tone down) a lm’s dialog level by raising (lowering) the center channel or reducing excessive deep
bass (or enhance deep bass) by lowering (raising) the subwoofer level.
Use the HTR 3’s ’SURR,’ ‘CENT’ and ‘SUB’ keys for direct-access level adjustment of these channels over a
range of ±6 dB.

LISTENING MODE SETUP
The T 765 has various listening mode options and is mostly congurable. These are provided to
reproduce a variety of sound eects depending upon the content of the source to be played. Use a
combination of or ENTER and keys to congure the following settings.
LISTENING MODES
The audio format as detected by the selected Source can be automatically congured and processed
through the following options:
DOLBY DIGITAL
Dolby Digital is the multi-channel digital signal format developed in the Dolby laboratories. Discs
bearing the Dolby Digital (double-D symbol) logo were recorded with up to 5.1 channels of digital
signals, reproducing a much better sound quality, with dynamic and spatial sound sensations that are
much better than in the previous Dolby Surround.
A Dolby Digital audio input can be congured relative to its format.
2 Channel : If the detected audio is a 2 Channel Dolby Digital signal, you can default it to one of
the following settings – Pro Logic, PLIIx Movie, PLIIx Music or None.
Surround : If the detected audio is a Surround Dolby Digital signal, you can default it to one of the
following settings –Surround EX, PLIIx Movie, and PLIIx Music, Stereo Downmix or None.
None : If ‘None’ is selected, the Dolby Digital format will follow the ‘Digital’ setting set forth at
‘Other’ option under this menu section. See discussion below about ‘Other.’
DOLBY DIGITAL EX
Using a Matrix decoder, this method creates the back channel (sometimes also called the “surround
center”) by means of signals on the left and right surround channels recorded in Dolby Digital 5.1,
reproduction being provided in Surround 6.1. This method should be selected with sources bearing
the “Dolby Digital (double-D symbol)-EX” symbol, recorded in Dolby Digital Surround EX.
With this additional channel you will experience improved dynamics and a better sensation of
movement within the sound eld. If media sources recorded in Dolby Digital EX are decoded with a
Digital EX decoder, the format is detected automatically, and the Dolby Digital EX mode is selected.
However, some media sources recorded in Dolby Digital EX can be detected as simple Dolby Digital
media sources. In this case Dolby Digital EX should be selected manually.
NOTE
Please refer to the section ‘Listening Mode’ at the Main Menu discussions for a description of Pro
Logic, PLIIx Movie, PLIIx Music and Stereo Downmix modes.
DTS
The Digital Theater System Digital Surround (simply called DTS) is a multi-channel digital signal format
that can process higher data rates than with Dolby Digital. Although both Dolby Digital and DTS are
5.1 channel media formats, discs bearing the “DTS” symbol are thought to provide better sound quality
due to the lower audio compression required. It also oers a broader dynamic, producing magnicent
sound quality.
OPERATION

DTS SURROUND MODES
The following are further descriptions about the DTS surround modes.
DTS ES EXPANDED SURROUND ™ DTS ES
This is a new multi-channel digital format which greatly improves the 360° spatial sensation of the
Surround impression thanks to the greater space expansion of the surround signals, providing high
compatibility with the conventional DTS format.
In addition to the 5.1 channels, the expanded DTS-ES Surround also oers 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 dierent methods of surround signal
recording, as follows:
DTSES™ DISCRETE 6.1
Since the signals of the 6.1 Surround channels (including the back channel) are completely
independent, it is 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 of the surround system,
in such a way that none of the signal components are lost.
DTS ES™ MATRIX 6.1
In this format, the additional signals of the 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 eect can also be achieved from sources with DTS-ES 5.1 signals.
Naturally, it is also possible to reproduce from a DTS 5.1 channel decoder, signals recorded in DTS-ES 6.1.
When 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.
DTS NEO: 6™ SURROUND
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 of the 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. The right and left front
channels do not pass through the decoder and are reproduced directly so there is no loss in sound
quality, and the eects of the right surround, left surround, central and back surround channels add
a natural sensation of expansion of the sound eld.
DISPLAY SETUP
The Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) and On-Screen Display (OSD) can be shown in various ways by
navigating through the parameters at the ‘Display Setup’ menu. Use a combination of or ENTER and
keys to step through the ‘Display Setup’ menu items.
NOTE
The congurations set forth at ‘Display Setup’ are carried over whenever it is enabled during A/V
Preset setting. Please see also the section below about ‘AV Presets.’

VFD if ‘Temp’ is selected. At ‘Temp’ setting however, whenever any of the front panel controls or their
corresponding keys in the remote control is activated, the appropriate VFD characters will be shown
temporarily and then fade away. Note that if any of the Zones are at powered state, they will be
continually shown at VFD even at ‘Temp’ setting.
Dimmer : If it is desired to reduce the brightness of the VFD, set Dimmer to ‘Dim’. Otherwise, select
‘Bright’ to return to normal VFD brightness.
Line 1, Line 2 : The VFD shows two main lines of data or characters. Line 2 is the line of data or
characters located at the lower bottom of the VFD while directly above it is Line 1. For both lines, one
can select which display could be shown by choosing through the following
Main Source : Shows the active Source.

LISTENING TO RADIO
The T 765’s internal AM/FM tuner oers very high quality sound from radio broadcasts. The reception
and sound quality will always be dependent to a degree however on the type of antenna(s) used as
well as proximity to the broadcast origin, geography and weather conditions.
ABOUT ANTENNAS
The supplied ribbon-wire FM antenna can be connected to the rear-panel FM-antenna input using the
included ‘balun’ adapter and should be fully extended to form a “T”. This folded-dipole antenna will usually
work best when oriented vertically, with the arms of its “T” fully outstretched and arranged perpendicular
to the origin of the desired broadcast. There are no ‘rules’ however, and experimenting freely with antenna
placement and orientation may yield the clearest sound and lowest background noise.
In areas of poor FM reception, an exterior FM antenna can improve performance dramatically. If radio listening
is important to you, consider consulting an antenna installation professional to optimize your system.
The supplied AM ‘loop’ antenna will usually provide adequate reception. However, an exterior AM
antenna can be used to improve reception. Consult an antenna professional for more information.

USING THE HTR 3 REMOTE CONTROL
SPECIFICATIONS
• Controls up to 8 devices.
• 44 function keys.
• Learns up to 352 commands.
• Records up to 44 macros with a maximum of 64 commands each.
• Congurable punch-through.
• Key illumination with programmable timeout.
• Upgradable.
• Contains pre-programmed library of NAD remote codes.
The NAD HTR 3 is ready to operate the T 765 A/V Receiver 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 remote control codes to be transmitted by the remaining 44 keys. You may “teach” codes from any
infrared-remote 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 3 is already preprogrammed with a full complement of commands for the T 765 A/V 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 commands are
permanent: Even if you teach the HTR 3 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 T 765, 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 specic NAD-brand components you may need
to load one or more dierent code-libraries (see “Loading Code Libraries,” below).
CONTROLLING THE T 765
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’s remaining keys to a “page” of commands to control a particular
component. A Device Select key determines only what component the HTR 3 will command; it does
not perform any function on the A/V 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 3.
However, the HTR 3 is already preprogrammed to operate the T 765. All of the function keys on the
[AMP] Device Selector “page” perform T 765 functions. (The HTR 3 can also command many other NAD
components, from its [DVD,] [CD,] [TUNER,] and [CUSTOM] pages.)
It is important to note that certain HTR 3 keys perform dierent functions depending on the selected
Device Selector “page.” The color of the Device Selector key-labeling corresponds to the labeling of the
function keys. Most centrally, the black [AMP] Device Selector “page” corresponds to the black as well
as white input-select labeling above the numeric keys: When the HTR 3’s [AMP] Device Selector page
is active, these keys select the A/V Receiver inputs. Similarly, the purple [DVD] Device Selector “page”
corresponds to several purple labels, the green [TV ] page to green labels, and so on.
USING THE HTR 3 REMOTE CONTROL
LEARNING CODES FROM OTHER REMOTES
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 Learning 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) until the Learn LED at the center of the
HTR 3 turns steady green.
• Press the HTR 3’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 3’s Learn LED will icker amber for
a second or two, then turn solid green. The command is learned.
• Press the HTR 3’s Device Selector key again to exit the learning mode.
If the Learn LED does not icker 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’s remote as described above.
• On the HTR 3, simultaneously press-and-hold [DVD] and [RES]; the Learn LED turns steady green.
• Press the HTR 3’s Pause [ ] key; the Learn LED turns amber.
• Press-and-hold the corresponding Pause key of your DVD player’s remote control; the HTR 3’s Learn
LED ickers amber and then turns solid green. The command is learned.
• Press [DVD] again to exit the learning mode.
OPERATION
ENGLISHFRANÇAISESPAÑOLITALIANODEUTSCHNEDERLANDSSVENSKAРУССКИЙ
CANCEL OPERATION
You can cancel conguring 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 3’s “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 765 when the
DVD Device Selector page is active.
NOTE
The HTR 3’s [VOL] keys are pre-programmed as “punched-through” for all Device Select pages:
[VOL] will operate the T 765’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 punched
through, simply press the device key twice of the device to punch through to. The status LED will turn
green; press the Device Selector key again to exit Learning Mode.
Example: Punch-through AMP [SURR MODE] key to the DVD “page”
• On the HTR 3, 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 a command from any HTR 3 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 rst 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 CD page to the AMP [ ] button:
• On the HTR 3, simultaneously press-and-hold [AMP] and [RES]; 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.

OPERATION
36
ENGLISH FRANÇAIS ESPAÑOL ITALIANO DEUTSCH NEDERLANDS SVENSKA РУССКИЙ
USING THE HTR 3 REMOTE CONTROL
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 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, simultaneously 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 rst 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 nished entering the desired command sequence, press [MACRO] again
to store the macro; the Learn LED and [MACRO] key illumination will turn o.
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 T 765, Select “Input 1” (Source 1), and
Commence Playback of connected Source 1 device (as in DVD player):
• On the HTR 3, simultaneously press-and-hold [MACRO] and [0] (numeric zero); the Learn LED turns
steady green.
• Press [AMP]; press [ON]; press [1] (“Input or Source 1”); 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.
EXECUTING MACROS
To execute a macro, press and release [MACRO]; its key illumination lights for 5 seconds. While it
remains lit, press an HTR 3 key to which a macro has previously been stored.
The corresponding macro will run; as each step executes, its “parent” Device Selector’s key ashes lights
briey; when execution is nished, 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 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.
BUTTON ILLUMINATION TIMEOUT
The HTR 3’s key-illumination can be set to remain lit for 0-9 seconds. The default value is 2 seconds. To
set the illumination timeout, simultaneously press-and-hold for 3 seconds both the HTR 3’s [DISP] and
the [0-9] key, with the digit corresponding to the desired timeout duration; the Learn LED will ash
twice to conrm 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 3’s batteries. A short key-illumination timeout will
extend battery life appreciably; turning it o altogether (set it to 0 seconds) will lengthen it still
further.
USING THE HTR 3 REMOTE CONTROL
FACTORY RESET
The HTR 3 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 3’s [ON] and
[RTN] keys; the Learn LED will start to ash green. Release [ON] and [RTN] before the second ash is
complete; the Learn LED will turn red, indicating the remote has been reset.
NOTE
You must release [ON] and [RTN] before the second ash goes out, otherwise the unit will not reset;
should this occur, repeat the full procedure.
DELETE MODE
The HTR 3 can store learned, copied, and “default library” commands on any single key (The default
library commands are the pre-programmed NAD codes, such as the native T 765 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.
OPERATION
ENGLISHFRANÇAISESPAÑOLITALIANODEUTSCHNEDERLANDSSVENSKAРУССКИЙ
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 ashes; 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.
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.

LOADING CODE-LIBRARIES
The HTR 3 can store a dierent 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 3 to control is plugged in and powered-up
(“on,” not merely in standby). To enter the HTR 3s Library Mode, simultaneously press-and-hold for 3
seconds both the desired Device Selector key and the [AVPS] key, until the Learn LED turns green.
While keeping the HTR 3 pointed toward the component, enter the rst appropriate three-digit codelibrary number from the table below. Press [OFF]. If the component turns o, press [ENTER] to accept
that code-library number and exit the Library Mode. If the component does not turn o, enter the next
three-digit code-library number from the table.
When you enter the correct number the component will turn o; press [ENTER] to accept that code
library number and exit the Library Mode.

SEARCH MODE
If none of the codes from the table, when entered, turns on 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 [AVPS] key, until the Learn LED turns green. Now press-and-hold the HTR 3’s [ ] or
[ ]) key; the remote will step through all the available codes at a rate of approximately 1 per second.
When the component turns o, 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 nd code-libraries that operate, at least partially, some other
brand (non-NAD) components. You may certainly exploit such capabilities as you nd them.
However, since we can only ensure the completeness or accuracy of NAD code-libraries, we cannot
support the HTR 3’s operation with other-brand components.
USING THE HTR 3 REMOTE CONTROL
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 [AVPS] key, until the Learn LED turns green. Press the [DISP] key; the HTR 3 indicates the
current code-library by ashing its [CUSTOM], [VCR], and [MACRO] keys.
For example, to indicate code-library #501, the HTR 3 will ash [CUSTOM] 5 times, pause, and then ash
[MACRO] once. You might wish to make a note of your components’ code-library numbers.

SLEEP MODE
The Sleep Mode timer will switch the T 765 to Standby mode automatically after a preset number of
minutes. Pressing the HTR-3’s SLEEP button once will display the setting of the sleep time increment.
Pressing the HTR-3’s SLEEP button a second time within a 3-second period will change the sleep time
increment in 15-minute intervals, after which time the T 765 will automatically switch into Standby mode.
OPERATION
ENGLISHFRANÇAISESPAÑOLITALIANODEUTSCHNEDERLANDSSVENSKAРУССКИЙ
To adjust the sleep delay, press the HTR-3’s SLEEP button twice; rst to display the sleep time
increment, and a second time to change the sleep time increment. The sleep time increment and a
“SLEEP” icon will continuously display on the T 765’s front panel Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD).
Each consecutive press increases the sleep time in 15-minute increments from 15 to 90 minutes. To
cancel the sleep mode, continue pressing the HTR-3’sSLEEP button until “SLEEP OFF” displays on the
VFD. Switching the T 765 to standby from either the HTR-3’s OFF or the T 765’s POWER button will also
cancel the sleep mode
USING THE ZR 4 REMOTE CONTROL
The ZR 4 remote control is a discrete compact remote for controlling the T 765 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 dierent, audio and
video, from the main input and thus corresponding volume levels as well.
If one 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. If the ‘Zone Controls’ OSD menu is ON, the
Zone ‘Volume’ level section will display ‘Mute.’
The T 765’s front uorescent display will show activity of the zone control so that main room occupants
are aware of the zone remote activity. Furthermore if there is no main room activity, only the zone
indicator will be active in the T 765’s uorescent display.
NOTE
The ZR 4 remote control will only control Zone 2 applications. Zone 3 and Zone 4 could be
congured 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 3’s ‘CUSTOM’ device is
also defaulted to Zone 2 remote control codes.
