The T 755 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 755 delivers a range of genuinely useful options for surround sound and stereo listening, using powerful digital signal processing and superbly accurate digital-audio circuitry. However, we have also been careful to ensure that the T 755 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 755'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 NAD T 755, and get the most from this powerful and flexible home-theater component. One more thing: We urge you to register your T 755 ownership on the NAD Worldwide Web site: For warranty information contact your local distributor. 4 INTRODUCTION ABOUTTHET755 Though the T 755 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 755 uses NAD's proprietary Power DriveTM 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 ClippingTM circuitry further enhances sound quality and dynamic potential. · High-performance components used throughout the receiver's analog audio circuits to maximize quality from all sources, including multichannel analog sources such as DVD-Audio and SACD. · Preamp output (all channels) and main-amp input jacks make potential expansion as flexible as possible. · Zone pre-amp and video feed with assignable 12 V DC trigger control. · A Second set of Speaker terminals (Speakers B) for remote listening. · 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. INTEGRATION The T 755 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 Main, Zone and Source Setup locations. ZONE 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 755 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 755 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 755. Owners who register their T 755 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 755 to a PC. Alternatively the dealer from whom you purchased your T 755 should be able to assist in performing these upgrades. E.A.R.S. AND DIGITAL SURROUND A key element of the T 755'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 755'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 755 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. ABOUT THE HTR 3 SYSTEM REMOTE CONTROL Packed with your T 755 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 T 755. You may opt to use your HTR 3 as your primary way to command your entire AV system. The HTR 3 can be employed to operate additional NAD or other-brand components such as a DVD/CD player, television, satellite/ HDTV tuner, VCR, or virtually anything else that operates via standard infrared remote. EASE OF USE Despite the effort NAD has invested in the T 755 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 755'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. 5 SVENSKA NEDERLANDS DEUTSCH ITALIANO ESPAÑOL FRANÇAIS The T 755 A/V Receiver is equipped with a configurable Zone 2 that makes 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. ENGLISH INTRODUCTION GETTINGSTARTED ENGLISH FRANÇAIS ESPAÑOL ITALIANO DEUTSCH NEDERLANDS SVENSKA WHAT'S IN THE BOX Packed with your T 755 A/V Receiver you will find · 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. SAVETHEPACKAGING Please save the box and all of the packaging in which your T 755 arrived. Should you move or otherwise need to transport your T 755, 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! DEALING WITH HUM AND NOISE Hum and noise may sometimes prove a challenge in complex, multichannel 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, low-resistance contact; specialized contactcleaners 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 1 Connect the speakers to the A/V Receiver only, and check for hum. 2 Then connect one component only (a CD player, for example) alone, with no other components connected and check for hum. 3 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 ACpower 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-2prong adapter) on its power cord, will eliminate the hum. 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 23 feet/7 meters, between the T 755's front panel and your primary listening/viewing position--this will ensure reliable infrared remote control communications. The T 755 generates a modest amount of heat, but nothing that should trouble adjacent components. It is especially important that sufficient ventilation be provided. If you are contemplating on locating the T 755 within a cabinet or other furniture, consult your NAD audio/video specialist for advice on providing adequate airflow. QUICK START Packed with your T 755 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 755 package as well as start up procedures.

Connect the T 755'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 755 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 when Source 3 (Audio 3 IN/Video 3 IN) or Source 4 (Audio 4 IN/Video 4 in) is the selected source input. This prevents feedback through the recording component thereby preventing possible damage to your speakers. 11 MONITOR(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. 12 ZONE2: 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. 13 7.1CHINPUT: 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 7 (7.1 Channel Input is defaulted to this Source). There is no bass-management or other processing (other than mastervolume control) available to this 7.1 Channel Input. While the multichannel audio outputs of a DVD-Video player can be connected to these jacks, using the T 755's own Dolby Digital and DTS decoding and digital-analog converters via a digital connection will usually produce superior results. 10 IDENTIFICATION OF CONTROLS REARPANEL 14 AUDIOPRE-OUT: The Audio PRE- OUT makes it possible to use the T 755 as a pre-amplifier to external power amplifiers for some or all channels. Connect FRONT L, FRONT R, SURR R, SURR L, SURR-BL, SURRBR and CENTER to the respective channel input of a power amplifier or an amplifier driving the corresponding applicable speakers. Unlike the full range channels, there is no power amplifier built-into the T 755 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. 17 SPEAKERSA,SPEAKERSB: Connect the respective SPEAKER A's FRONT L, FRONT R, SURR R, SURR L 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" as indicated in the VFD. Combining Speaker A and Speaker B (SPEAKERS A + B) will also result to the source being downmixed to stereo.

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 Theindividualconfigurationssetforthat"ListeningMode","DSPOptions"and"ToneControls" arecarriedoverwhenevertheyareenabledduringA/VPresetsetting.Pleaseseethesection"A/V PRESETS"forreference. LISTENING MODE The T 755 offers 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. PROLOGIC 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 monophonic, but it is reproduced in both surround speakers. 1 OPERATION USINGTHET755­MAINMENU PROLOGICPLII 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. PROLOGICIIx 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 offering 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 Configuration" menu; Listening Mode Two-Channel Sources Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music Dolby Pro Logic IIx Movie Active Decoded Output Channels 6.1 Speaker System Front (left & right), Center, Surround (left & right), Back Surround, Subwoofer 7.1 Speaker System Front (left & right), Center, Surround (left & right) and Back Surround (left and right) and subwoofer 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 Configuration"). The T 755 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 Configuration"). EARS does not employ the surround back speakers (if any). EARS extracts the natural ambience present in nearly all well-produced stereo recordings. It does not synthesize any ambience or other sonic elements and thus remains truer to the sound 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 reproduced in stereo via the maximum speaker complement configured in the current "Speaker Configuration". Enhanced stereo can be useful for maximum volume from all channels or for multi-speaker background music (cocktail party) listening. For this mode, Front, Center, Surround and Back speakers can be turned ON/OFF as desired. ANALOGBYPASS 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 Setup" settingare also not in effect as these are DSP functions. 1 SVENSKA NEDERLANDS DEUTSCH ITALIANO NOTE Thementionof"BackSurround(left,right)"referstoyourexternalamplifier'scorresponding"Back Right"and"BackLeft"speakers(ifany)asinterfacedwiththeT755.TheAudioPRE-OUTmakesit possibletousetheT755asapre-amplifiertoexternalpoweramplifiersforsomeorallchannels.

ITALIANO ESPAÑOL FRANÇAIS ENGLISH OPERATION USINGTHET755­SETUPMENU ENGLISH FRANÇAIS ESPAÑOL ITALIANO DEUTSCH NEDERLANDS SVENSKA ABOUTVIDEOFORMATS 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. VIDEOFORMATCONVERSION The T 755 is equipped with a Video Format Converter. This allows for a simplified video connectionbetween the T 755 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 755 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.

A/VPRESET A particular Source can be assigned a stored Preset. The parameters set up in the selected Preset number will be adopted into the particular Source it is assigned (Please refer to the separate section on "A/V PRESETS" for further understanding of Preset settings). Scrolling to "A/V Preset" and by pressing [ ] and then [ Preset number ranging from Preset 1 to 5. ] keys, a Source could be assigned a If it is desired not to assign the particular Source a Preset setting, select "None". TRIGGEROUT The Trigger Out for a particular Source is dependent on the configurations done in a separate menu on Trigger Setup (See "TRIGGER SETUP" below). If all three available Trigger outputs are assigned to "Source Setup" in the separate "Trigger Setup" window, a particular Source can have the following Trigger Out combinations 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 "Off" 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 to carry out or note the following beforehand · In the separate "Trigger Setup" menu, assign "Trigger 1 Out, Trigger 2 Out or Trigger 3 Out" to "Source Setup". · "Trigger Out" will not appear as an option at the Source Setup (Normal View) menu if at the separate "Trigger Setup" menu, "Trigger 1 Out, Trigger 2 Out or Trigger 3 Out" are all assigned to "Main" or "Zone 2" without a single "Trigger Out" port allocated to "Source Setup". SOURCE SETUP (TABLE VIEW) The Source Setup (Table View) reflects the settings made in the Source Setup (Normal View) menu. All the Source settings are summarized and displayed in tabulated form in the Source Setup (Table View). Navigating through the Source Setup (Table View) via a combination of [ ] and then [ ] keys, one will have the benefit of directly changing the settings for "Audio, Video, Preset, Trigger and Source Name" without going back to the Source Setup (Normal View) menu. 1 OPERATION USINGTHET755­SETUPMENU iPod SETUP The iPod Setup menu allows you to preset the following associated settings when iPod is the selected source: Enabled: Select "Yes" to enable iPod as a Source or "No" to disable it. Auto: Select "Yes" to automatically enable and connect the iPod player docked in the linked NAD iPod docking station when Source 5 (the default iPod source allocation in the T 755) is selected. Select "No" if you do not want for the iPod connection automatically connected. MenuTimeout: Set the time for the OSD to revert to the "Now Playing" display when the iPod menu has been left idle (no scrolling or navigation being done) for the specified time out time. For the "Now Playing" OSD to be shown, there should be a song paused or being played before going to the iPod menu. You can set the "Menu Timeout" between the range 5s to 60s at 5s increments. If you do not want for the menu to timeout, select "Off". 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 configured and setup. This requires special knowledge and instrumentation that the average person probably doesn't possess. The T 755 has the capability to automatically setup your own unique Home Theatre's speaker system. This is achievable through the T 755's Audyssey Setup feature along with the sophisticated digital electronics built into your unit. The installation of your new T 755 is greatly simplified 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 configuration is detected including the number of surround speakers and whether a subwoofer and center channel is connected. · Size: T 755 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 offered by surround sound. This is a one-time setup, unless speakers are moved or changed, in which case Audyssey Setup should be performed again. 19 SVENSKA NEDERLANDS DEUTSCH ITALIANO ESPAÑOL FRANÇAIS ENGLISH OPERATION USINGTHET755­SETUPMENU ENGLISH FRANÇAIS ESPAÑOL ITALIANO DEUTSCH NEDERLANDS SVENSKA MEASUREMENTISTHEFIRSTSTEP 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 configuration. 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 755. 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 finalized, Audyssey calculates the ideal system response for your particular room and speaker setup.

It is recommended that you take full advantage of the T 755'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 Configuration, Speaker Levels and Speaker Distance can also be followed and implemented. NOTE Duringmanualsettingofyourspeakers,previouslycalibratedAudysseysettingscouldberetrieved byre-adjustingbackthealteredconfigurationsashighlightedbyanasterisk. 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 "Off"), but note that physical size may be irrelevant. · A "Small" speaker is any model, regardless of physical size, that lacks significant 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 "Off" 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 "Back" setup item to "Off". 0 OPERATION USINGTHET755­SETUPMENU Depending on the relationship between speakers, the possible selections for each speaker are as follows: Front L/R Center Surround L/R Large Large Small Off Large Large Small Small Off Large Off Small Off Small Small Off Small Off Small Off Back Large Small Off Large Small Off Off Large Small Off Large Small Off Off Large Small Off Large Small Off Off Small Off Off Small Off Off Subwoofer 1/2 On or Off On Speaker Configuration can be managed and adjusted by pressing a combination of [ ] and then [ keys. Set "Front", "Center", and "Surround" to "Large", "Small" or "Off" 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 "Off", selecting "On" only if you have a subwoofer connected to the T 755's SUBW1 or SUBW2 output jack. ] NOTE Thementionof"Back"speakersrefertoyourexternalamplifier'scorresponding"BackRight"and "BackLeft"speakers(ifany)asinterfacedwiththeT755.TheAudioPRE-OUTmakesitpossibleto usetheT755asapre-amplifiertoexternalpoweramplifiersforsomeorallchannels. 1 SVENSKA NEDERLANDS DEUTSCH The Speaker Configuration is "global"; that is, it remains in force with all inputs and in all listening modes. However, speaker settings are part of the T 755's Preset system. Consequently, multiple speaker settings can be stored for easy recall as different types of recordings or listening modes require. ITALIANO ESPAÑOL FRANÇAIS ENGLISH OPERATION USINGTHET755­SETUPMENU ENGLISH FRANÇAIS ESPAÑOL ITALIANO DEUTSCH NEDERLANDS SVENSKA ENHANCEDBASS 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 effects, 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 Theconfigurationssetforthat"SpeakerSetup"arecarriedoverwheneveritisenabledduringA/V Presetsetting.Pleaseseealsothesection"A/VPRESETS"forreference. SPEAKER LEVELS Adjusting the relative balance of your system's loudspeakers ensures that surround-sound recordings, whether music or film, will present the balance of effects, 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. USINGANSPLMETER It is quite practical to perform the T 755 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 reflective 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. SETTINGSPEAKERLEVELSATTESTMODE While at "Speaker Levels" menu, press the HTR 3 remote's "Test" key activating the T 755'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 setup" 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 offset" reading on the right will change by 1 dB increments; ±12 dB adjustment is available. Press [ENTER] to adjust the next speaker.

ADJUSTING THE VOLUME In addition to the Volume knob, use the HTR 3's [VOL ] to adjust the "master volume" of the T 755 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 755 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 755 will power up at ­20 dB. This prevents inadvertently beginning a session at excessive volume. MUTINGTHESOUND Use the HTR 3's "Mute" key to silence all channels completely. Muting is always available regardless of the source or listening mode selections.

TRIGGEROUT Triggers are low voltage signals used to turn on/off other compliant devices. The T 755's three +12V DC Trigger Outputs (Trigger 1 Out, Trigger 2 Out and Trigger 3 Out) are dependent on which mode they are associated with. There are three choices where +12V DC output can be assigned and these are ­ Main, Zone 2 and Source Setup. Main: +12V DC is available at the assigned Trigger Out when the T 755 is at powered state. Zone2: When Zone 2 is at powered state, +1 2V DC is available at the assigned Trigger Out. SourceSetup: If Trigger Output is linked to "Source Setup", +12V DC is available at Trigger Out whenever the particularly assigned Source is selected. Please see also separate discussion about "TRIGGER OUT" under the "SOURCE SETUP (NORMAL VIEW)" section. 4 OPERATION USINGTHET755­SETUPMENU DELAY The availability of +12V DC at Trigger OUT can be regulated. If it is desired that +12V DC is available without delay the moment Trigger OUT is linked to its assigned setting, set Delay to 0s. Otherwise, one can select through a delay time of 1s to 15s. AUTOTRIGGERIN Auto Trigger IN allows external system controllers to toggle the associated section of the T 755 from "Standby" to "On" and vice versa. When the TRIGGER switch at the rear panel is set to ON, a +12V DC input at Trigger IN will power ON the section where Trigger IN is assigned, Main: From standby mode, the T 755 is powered ON when +12V DC is applied at Trigger IN.

This method should be selected with sources bearing the (double-D symbol)-EX, recorded in Dolby Digital Surround EX. With this additional channel you will experience improved dynamics and a better sensation of movement within the sound field. 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.

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 offers a broader dynamic, producing magnificent sound quality. A DTS input can be defaulted to one of the following options: - Neo:6 Music, Stereo Downmix or None. If "None" is selected, the DTS signal will follow the "Digital" setting set forth at "Other" option under this menu section. See discussion below about "Other".

Dynamic Range Control: You can select the effective dynamic range (subjective range from soft to loud) for playback of Dolby Digital soundtracks. For fully cinematic effect, always select 100%, the default. Settings of 75%, 50%, and 25% progressively reduce dynamic range, making soft sounds comparatively louder while limiting the peak loudness of loud ones. The 25% setting will yield the least dynamic range and is best for late-night sessions or other times when you wish to retain maximum dialog intelligibility while minimizing overall volume levels. Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music: Please refer to the same description about "ADJUSTING LISTENING MODES" under the "LISTENING MODE" of the Main Menu discussions. DTS SETUP Under this menu, the Dynamic Range Control of DTS Digital Surround can be adjusted as well as the settings for DTS Neo:6 Music. Dynamic Range Control : This is the same configurable Dynamic Range Control feature as described above at Dolby Setup, the only difference being the soundtrack is now in DTS format. DTS Neo:6 Music : Please refer to the same description about "ADJUSTING LISTENING MODES" under the "LISTENING MODE" of the Main Menu discussions. DTS SURROUND MODES The following are further descriptions about the DTS surround modes. DTS-ESEXPANDEDSURROUNDTM(DTSES) 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 offers the back surround (also sometimes called the "surround centre") in reproduction, providing a total of 6.1 channels. The expanded DTS-ES Surround includes two formats, with two different methods of surround signal recording, as follows: DTS-ESTMDISCRETE6.1 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. 7 SVENSKA NEDERLANDS DEUTSCH ITALIANO ESPAÑOL FRANÇAIS ENGLISH OPERATION USINGTHET755­SETUPMENU ENGLISH FRANÇAIS ESPAÑOL ITALIANO DEUTSCH NEDERLANDS SVENSKA DTS-ESTMMATRIX6.1 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 effect 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. DTSNEO:6TMSURROUND 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 effects of the right surround, left surround, central and back surround channels add a natural sensation of expansion of the sound field.

LISTENING TO RADIO The T 755's internal AM/FM tuner offers 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. ABOUTANTENNAS The supplied ribbon-wire FM antenna can be connected to the rear-panel FMantenna 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.
