INTRODUCTION
GETTING STARTED
WHAT'S IN THE BOX Packed with your T777 you will find · Quick Setup Guide · BluOS Kit containing USB Hub, Wi-Fi Dongle, Bluetooth USB Micro
Adapter and USB to USB Cable Extender · HTR 8 remote control with 4 AA batteries · BluOS-Ready Flyer/Bluesound player · ZR 7 zone remote control with 3V CR2025 battery · Measurement microphone with USB Mic adapter and phone jack
adapter · Detachable mains power cord
SAVE THE PACKAGING Please save the box and all of the packaging in which your T777 arrived. Should you move or otherwise need to transport your T777, 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!
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 T777's front panel and your primary listening/viewing position--this will ensure reliable infrared remote control communications. The T777 generates a modest amount of heat, but nothing that should trouble adjacent components.
DEFAULT SOURCE SETTINGS The following table lists the default SOURCE settings. Note that the Audio input settings show both digital and analog audio input. Digital input will always take precedence over analog audio input even if both are present.
SOURCE Source 1 Source 2 Source 3 Source 4 Source 5 Source 6 (BluOS) Source 7 Source 8 (Front Input) Source 9 (Media Player)
AUDIO INPUT HDMI 1/Audio 1 HDMI 2/Audio 2 HDMI 3/Audio 3 HDMI 4/Audio 4 HDMI 5/Audio 5 BluOS 7.1 Channel Input HDMI Front/Audio Front Front Media Player
VIDEO INPUT HDMI 1 HDMI 2 HDMI 3 HDMI 4 HDMI 5 BluOS Off HDMI Front Off
To modify the above default settings and for a better understanding of source setting and combinations, please refer to the item about "SOURCE SETUP" in the "USING THE T777 - SETUP MENU" segment of the "OPERATION" section.
NOTE Digital input will always take precedence over analog audio input even if both are present.

OPERATION
USING THE T777 SETUP MENU
CONTROL SETUP
The T777 supports HDMI Control (CEC) and Audio Return Channel (ARC) functions. Both functions are possible if external devices that also support both features are interconnected with the T777 via HDMI connection.
AUTO STANDBY The T777 can be setup to automatically go to standby mode if there is no user interface interaction within 30 minutes.
On: T777 will go to standby mode automatically in the absence of any user interface interaction within 30 minutes. Off: T777 remains active even though no user interface interaction is detected.
CEC/LAN/BLUOS IN STANDBY Indicate the status of CEC, LAN and BluOS activity while the unit is at standby mode.
On · Enable CEC feature. Audio and video will continuously stream from
a CEC-enabled HDMI source to a CEC-enabled TV (with both devices connected via T777). · LAN and BluOS connections continue to be active. Off · T777 will not pass through any CEC message. Audio and video will not be streamed from a CEC-enabled HDMI source to a CECenabled TV (with both devices connected via T777). · LAN and BluOS connections are idle or inactive.
HDMI CONTROL (CEC) Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) is a set of commands that utilizes HDMI's two- way communication to allow for single remote control of any CEC-enabled devices connected with HDMI. A CEC command will trigger the necessary commands over HDMI for an entire system to auto-configure itself to respond to the command.
When devices that support HDMI Control (CEC) are connected, the following modes of operation can be executed via the T777 or the external device using any of the device's remote control. Off: Applies to all CEC options below. At "Off" setting, particular CEC feature is defeated.
Power Off: At "On" setting, the T777 will automatically go to standby mode if it receives a CEC standby command. On the other hand, if the T777 receives a CEC power up command, the T777 will correspondingly switch ON from standby mode. Source Switch: At "On" setting, the T777 will automatically switch sources if another CEC device requests a Source change. For example, if PLAY is pressed on a BD Player with CEC, the T777 and TV with CEC will automatically switch to their respective input connections the T777 switching to the HDMI input where the BD Player is connected while the TV will switch to its input where the T777's HDMI OUT is connected. This completes the auto-configuration the BD Player is automatically played back using the T777 and TV. Audio System: At "On" setting, the T777 will broadcast a CEC message indicating it is an active audio system. A CEC compatible TV will usually mute its audio output when this happens. When this option is enabled, the T777 will also respond to CEC volume and mute commands. For example, a CEC TV may forward the volume commands from its remote to the T777. ARC Mode: Audio Return Channel (ARC) enables an ARC-enabled TV to send audio data "upstream" to T777. This option has three choices: Off, Auto or Source Setup.
Auto: When set to Auto, the T777 will automatically attempt an ARC audio connection to the TV whenever the TV announces over CEC that it has become the active source. If an ARC connection can be established, the T777 will output the ARC audio signal no matter what source is selected on the T777 and will show "HDMI ARC" on the VFD. The Auto option tends to work best when all your devices support CEC and the Source Switch option is set to On. Source Setup: When set to Source Setup, you can select "ARC" for the digital audio input in the source setup screen. When you select a source on the T777 which is set for ARC, the T777 will attempt to initiate an ARC connection with the TV. When using this option, you would probably also want to make sure Source Switch is off otherwise other CEC devices may keep changing the T777 source when you want it to remain on the ARC source.
IMPORTANT NOTES · "Audio System" must be set to "On" for "ARC mode" to manifest as an
option. · "CEC/LAN/BluOS in Standby" must be set to "On" for audio and video to
continuously stream from a CEC-enabled HDMI source to a CEC-enabled TV (with both devices connected via T 777).

TRIGGER OUT Trigger Out feature for a particular Source is dependent upon the configurations done in a separate menu on Trigger Setup (See "Trigger Setup" below). If "Source Setup" is assigned to all three Trigger output (Trigger Out 1-3) in the separate "Trigger Setup" menu 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 upon 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" 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 menu
if at the separate "Trigger Setup" menu, Trigger 1 Out, Trigger 2 Out or Trigger 3 Out are all assigned to "Main, Zone 2, Zone 3, Zone 4, or Zone 2+3+4"; with not even one "Trigger Out" port allocated to "Source Setup."
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. SPEAKER CONFIGURATION
Every surround-sound system requires "bass-management" to direct lowfrequency 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 200 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". For "Height" speakers, selecting "Off" option for "Height 1" will automatically cut off both Height 1 and Height 2 Audio output. The Speaker Configuration is "global"; that is, it remains in force with all input and listening modes. However, speaker settings are part of the T777's Preset system. Consequently, multiple speaker settings can be stored for easy recall as different types of recordings or listening modes require. Speaker Configuration can be managed and adjusted by pressing a combination of [S] and then [D/F] keys. Set "Front", "Center" and "Surround" to "Large", "Small"(40Hz to 200Hz) 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 T777's SUBW1 or SUBW2 output jack. If "Subwoofer" is set to "Off", "Front" speakers will automatically be set to "Large".

HEIGHT 1/HEIGHT 2 "Height 1" and "Height 2" AUDIO PRE-OUT can be connected to the audio input of an external power amplifier hooked up with up to 4 Height speakers. Height1/Height 2 settings must be set to "On" at the "Speaker Configuration" menu to power up the additional Height speakers.
ENHANCED BASS When the subwoofer is set to "On" and "Front" is set to "Large", the option "Enhanced Bass" becomes 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 The configurations set forth at `Speaker Setup' are carried over whenever it is enabled during A/V Preset setting. Please see also the section `A/V Presets' for reference.
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.
USING AN SPL METER It is quite practical to perform the T777 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.
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.
SETTING SPEAKER LEVELS AT TEST MODE While at `Speaker Levels' menu, press the HTR8 remote's [TEST] key activating the T777's Speaker Levels balancing test signal . You will hear a "surf" sound as you step through your speakers ("Test Mode Active" is shown beside the Speaker Setup heading), beginning with the Front Left. If you do not hear the test signal, check your speaker connections or your `Speaker Configuration' OSD menu settings.
Use the remote's [D/F] 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.
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 [D/F] keys to adjust each speaker.
NOTES · All speakers must be in their final 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 T777's Subwoofer output. Final subwoofer-level adjustment "by-ear," using music and film sound material, is frequently useful. · Due to the effects of room acoustics, matched-pair speakers (front; surround; back) will not always calibrate to exactly the same level offset readings.
You can exit `Test' mode at any time by pressing [A] key, bringing you back to `Speaker Setup' menu. You can also press the [TEST] key to discontinue the `Test' mode.

SPEAKER DISTANCE
Your system's speaker distance settings are a subtle but important refinement of your setup. Informing the T777 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 [D/F] keys to individually set each speaker distance as measured from the principal listening position to the front surface of the particular speaker. Distance can be displayed as feet or meters selectable at the `Unit of Measure' item. Distance can be set up to 30 feet or 9.1 meters.
DIRAC LIVE The proprietary Dirac Live is integrated with your T777. Dirac Live® is a patented room correction technology that not only corrects the frequency response, but also the impulse response of a room's loudspeakers. Dirac Live provides true impulse response correction over a large listening area, improving the depth, positioning and distinction of individual voices and instruments. Using multiple measurement and mixed phase correction, Dirac Live helps create a natural, realistic and transparent sound with tighter bass and reduced room modes, in a way previously not possible.
Initiate Dirac Live by following below Setup Requirements.
T 777 · Update your T777 to the latest firmware. · Speaker Configuration must match actual speaker setup turn off
speakers that are not available. · Both your computer and T777 must be connected to the same
network.
MICROPHONE · The supplied measurement microphone can be connected to either
the MIC or USB input of your computer or the USB input of the T777. · If the measurement microphone will be connected to the USB input of
your computer or the T777, ensure that the measurement microphone, phone jack adapter and USB Mic adapter are all connected together. The USB Mic adapter is not necessary if the measurement microphone will be connected to the MIC input of your computer, · Minimize external noise such as talking, opening/closing of doors or windows and playback of sound during the measurement. · Use a microphone stand to firmly place the microphone in the indicated measurement positions.
COMPUTER (WINDOWS, macOS) · Both your computer and T777 must be connected to the same
network. · Any active firewalls should allow HTTP (normal WWW access). · Turn off any computer programs that may make any noise. · Download the Dirac Live Calibration ToolTM installer.

ADJUSTING THE VOLUME
In addition to the Volume knob, use the HTR8's [VOL D/F] to adjust the "master volume" of the T777 raising or lowering the channels altogether. A momentary keypress will change the master volume by 1 dB increments. If you hold down [VOL D/F], 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 -20dB may sound "as loud" from one CD or DVD as -10 dB does from another.
The T777 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 T777 will power up at 20 dB. This prevents inadvertently beginning a session at excessive volume.
MUTING THE SOUND Use the HTR8's [MUTE] key to silence all channels completely. Muting is always available regardless of the source or listening mode selections.
NOTES · Changing input or listening-mode selections does not release muting. · Adjusting the volume level via the HTR8 or the front panel volume knob
will automatically release the mute function.

ADJUSTING CHANNEL LEVELS `ON THE FLY'
OPERATION
USING THE T777 SETUP MENU
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 film'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 HTR8's 'SURR,'`CENT' and `SUB' keys for direct-access level adjustment of these channels over a range of ±6 dB.
The surround back channels (if any) adjust in lockstep with the surround channels.
NOTE Level settings adjusted `On the Fly' are added or subtracted to the setup levels established at the T777 level-calibration routine as invoked by the HTR8 `Test' key. However, selecting any Preset will revert the channel levels to those stored in the preset.
ZONE SETUP
VOLUME Zone 2 have Fixed and Variable volume control. When set to `Variable' and while at the `Zone Controls' menu OSD, the Zone 2 Volume level can be adjusted using the HTR8's [D/F] or the corresponding front panel navigation buttons or directly via ZR7's [VOL d/f].
On the other hand, if Volume is set to `Fixed,' the Zone 2 Volume is set to a preset dB level and thereafter the Zone's volume can be varied via the volume control of the separate amplifier it is fed into.
The Zone feature allows one to simultaneously experience in different zones of the house multiple sound sources from all enabled analog Sources as well as from Front Input and Media Player.
The T777 has three configurable Zones Zone 2, Zone 3 and Zone 4.
MODE Zone 3 and Zone 4 can be configured into two modes - Record and Zone. If the selected mode is "Record", the audio of the assigned Source is directly sent out to the applicable Audio output (See Item 3 AUDIO 1-6/AUDIO 3-4 OUT). When Zone 3 or Zone 4 is set to "Record" mode, they will not be available at the "Zone Controls' section of the Main Menu window.
Zone 3 and Zone 4 "Volume" will function the same way as that of Zone 2 when "Mode" is set to "Zone".

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 configured relative to its format as follows
Stereo: If the detected audio is of Dolby stereo format, you can default to either Dolby Surround or None. Surround: If the detected audio is of Dolby Surround format, you can default to one of the following settings Dolby Surround, Stereo Downmix or None. None: If "None" is selected, the Dolby Digital signal will be defaulted to its native format. With this setting, "Direct" becomes available as a Listening Mode option.
DTS The Digital Theater System Digital Surround (simply called DTS) is a multichannel 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 audio input can be configured relative to its format as follows Stereo: If the detected audio is of DTS format, you can default to one of the following settings Neural:X or None. Surround: If the detected audio is of DTS Surround format, you can default to one of the following settings Neural:X, Stereo Downmix or None. None: If "None" is selected, the DTS signal will be defaulted to its native format. With this setting, "Direct" becomes available as a Listening Mode option.
PCM PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) is the digital representation of a standard audio signal converted with little or no compression. If "None" is selected, the audio signal will be defaulted to its native format.
Stereo: The detected stereo audio format will be configured into one of the following options Neural:X, Dolby Surround, EARS, Enhanced Stereo or None. Surround: The detected surround audio format will be configured into one of the following options Neural:X, Dolby Surround, Stereo Downmix or None.
ANALOG If the audio input is an analog signal, the following are the surround modes the input can be defaulted Neural:X, Dolby Surround, EARS, Enhanced Stereo, Analog Bypass or None.
NOTE Applicable Listening Modes can also be directly selected by repeatedly pressing front panel LISTENING MODE button.
LISTENING MODES The T777 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 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 a music CD, 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.
DIRECT The analog or digital sources are automatically played in their native formats. All the source's audio channels are reproduced directly. This mode recreates the original sound most faithfully thereby producing outstandingly high quality audio. Note that the source must be at playback mode for "Direct" to become available as a listening mode option. In order to automatically playback your source in their native format, implement the following settings. 1 Go to "Listening Mode Setup" under "Setup Menu". At the "Listening Modes"
menu, set all Dolby, DTS, PCM and Analog settings to "None". With this setup, your source will be played back directly at its native format. 2 Next, go to "A/V Presets" under "Setup Menu". At "A/V Presets" menu, set "Listening Mode Setup" item to "Yes" and then save this setting among other options, say to "Preset 1", by selecting "Save Current Setup to Preset". 3 Now, you can associate "Preset 1" to any of the "Source" settings. For example, at Source 1 setting under "Source Setup", scroll down to "A/V Preset" item and set it to "Preset 1". Thus whenever Source 1 is selected, the associated source will always be directly played back at its native audio format.

EARS Two-channel recordings, whether stereo or surround-encoded, are reproduced with proprietary NAD surround processing with signal 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.
ENHANCED STEREO All recordings are 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 multispeaker background music (cocktail party) listening. For this mode, Front, Center, Surround and Back speakers can be turned ON/OFF as desired.
ANALOG BYPASS (APPLICABLE ONLY WHEN THE SOURCE SELECTED IS 7.1 CHANNEL INPUT - DEFAULTED TO SOURCE 7) 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 effect as these are DSP functions.
DOLBY ATMOS Dolby Atmos redefines your entertainment experience. Overhead dimension is added by creating a full audio atmosphere and realistically depicting objects moving overhead. Sound from a helicopter, a car screeching around a corner or a melodic bird call can be precisely placed and moved anywhere in your room, including overhead, to flow above and around you in three-dimensional space. Dolby Atmos also renders everything from dialogue to quiet scenes to whirlwind action with astonishing clarity, richness, detail and depth.
DTS:X DTS:X places sound where it would occur naturally in space, creating the most lifelike, multi-dimensional audio experience ever. DTS:X technology adapts to the viewing environment, allowing for a flexible speaker configuration that best fits the viewing space. Through the use of objectbased audio, DTS:X technology is able to scale immersive soundtrack presentations across a wide range of playback systems, from efficient to extravagant, while staying true to the content creator's vision.
Neural:X Neural:XTM is the latest spatial remapping engine from DTS, enabling an immersive, multidimensional experience from legacy content. It is included inside of DTS:X to provide upmix of Neural:X-encoded and non-encoded (PCM) data. With DTS Neural:X, stereo, 5.1 or 7.1 content can be upmixed to take full advantage of all speakers in your surround sound system.
DOLBY SETUP
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 latenight sessions or other times when you wish to retain maximum dialog intelligibility while minimizing overall volume levels. For Dolby TrueHD sources, set the Dynamic Range Control to "Auto". Center Spread: Center image is spread into the Left and Right speakers. It is designed to complement musical content or to spread the dialogue more evenly across a wide screen display.
On: Center Spread function is enabled. Off: Center Spread function is disabled.
DTS SETUP
Dynamic range control and dialog content can be configured at DTS Setup menu.
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. Dialog Control: Dialog levels are adjusted. Dialog control is more than just adjusting center channel level as the center channel may also contain other sound elements that get raised or lowered along with the dialog. NOTE Dialog control applies only for playback of DTS:X content that supports DTS Dialogue Control feature.

OPERATION
USING THE HTR8 REMOTE CONTROL
/
/
/
OVERVIEW OF THE HTR8 · Controls up to 8 devices. · Learns up to 360 commands. · Records up to 52 macros with a maximum of 64 commands each. · Configurable punch-through. · Key illumination with programmable timeout. · Upgradable. · Contains pre-programmed library of NAD remote codes.
The NAD HTR8 is ready to operate the T777 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 keys. You may "teach" codes from any infraredremote controlled component, regardless of brand, to any or all of these.
Obviously, the most logical system is that you teach the codes from your DVD player to the [DVD] DEVICE SELECTOR "page," your television's codes to the [TV] "page" and so on, but there is no required scheme: You may load any commands to any key on any page (see "LEARNING CODES FROM OTHER REMOTES" below).
The HTR8 is already pre-programmed with a full complement of T777 commands on its [AMP] DEVICE SELECTOR page, and as well as with library commands to operate most NAD-brand DVD, BD, CD or TUNER components on the corresponding DEVICE SELECTOR "pages". These default commands are permanent: Even if you teach the HTR8 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).
GETTING FAMILIAR WITH THE HTR8 The HTR8 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 SELECTOR key determines only what component the HTR8 will command; it does not perform any function on the component. All 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 HTR8.
However, the HTR 8 is already pre-programmed to operate the T777. All of the function keys on the [AMP] Device Selector "page" perform T777 functions. The HTR8 can also command many other NAD components from its [DVD], [CD], [BD] and [TUNER] pages.
It is important to note that certain HTR8 keys perform different functions depending on the selected DEVICE SELECTOR "page". The colour of the DEVICE SELECTOR key-labelling corresponds to the labelling of the function keys. Most centrally, the black [AMP] DEVICE SELECTOR "page" corresponds to the black keys: When the HTR8's [AMP] DEVICE SELECTOR page is active; these keys select the amplifier or receiver inputs. Similarly, the purple [DVD] DEVICE SELECTOR "page" corresponds to several purple labels and so on.
LEARNING CODES FROM OTHER REMOTES Begin by positioning the HTR8 "nose-to-nose" with the source remote so the two devices' infrared windows are about 2 inches apart. · Enter Learning Mode: On the HTR8, simultaneously press-and-hold for 3 seconds both a DEVICE
SELECTOR key and the [RES] key until the Learn LED of the HTR8 turns steady green. · Press the HTR8'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 HTR8's Learn LED will flicker amber for
a second or two, then turn solid green. The command is learned. · Press the HTR8's DEVICE SELECTOR key again to exit the learning mode.
If the Learn LED does not flicker amber you may need to vary the distance between the remotes. If the Learn LED turns red rather than green, that particular command of that source remote command could not be learned. In rare instances, there maybe some IR format that is not compatible with the HTR8.

ENGLISH
OPERATION
USING THE HTR8 REMOTE CONTROL
Example: Learning "DVD Pause" Position the HTR8 and your DVD player's remote as described above. · On the HTR8, simultaneously press-and-hold [DVD] and [RES]; the
Learn LED turns steady green. · Press the HTR8's Pause [j] key; the Learn LED turns amber. · Press-and-hold the corresponding Pause key of your DVD player's
remote control; the HTR8's Learn LED flickers amber and then turns solid green. The command is learned. · Press [DVD] again to exit the learning mode.
NOTES · The HTR8 can learn up to 360 commands making use of all the DEVICE
SELECTOR and function keys. · The DEVICE SELECTOR keys can themselves be configured to learn a
command. · Press and hold a configured DEVICE SELECTOR for at least 2 seconds to
execute a function assigned to the particular DEVICE SELECTOR key. · Short press of a configured DEVICE SELECTOR will just switch the active
device.
CANCEL OPERATION You can cancel configuring a key, by pressing the active DEVICE SELECTOR key before the learn process is complete; the Learn LED will turn red.
PUNCH THROUGH The HTR8'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 T777 when the DVD DEVICE SELECTOR page is active.
NOTE The HTR8's [VOL D/F] keys are pre-programmed as "punchedthrough" for all Device Select pages: [VOL D/F] will operate the T777's master-volume regardless of the currently selected device. The [SURR] [CENTER] and [SUB] Channel Volume controls similarly are preprogrammed 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 HTR8, 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 HTR8 key to any other. To copy a key function, after entering the Learning Mode, and pressing the desired key to be copied to, simply press the device key from which you wish to copy, having first pressed its DEVICE SELECTOR key if it resides on another "page." The status LED will turn green; press the DEVICE SELECTOR key again to exit Learning Mode.
Example: Copy the Pause command from the CD page to the AMP [j] button · On the HTR8, simultaneously press-and-hold [AMP] and [RES]; the
Learn LED turns steady green. · Press Pause [j]; the Learn LED turns amber. · Press [CD]; press Pause [j]; 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 overwrite the original (source-key) command, the copied-to key's command remains unchanged. If you punch-through to a command and then delete or overwrite the original key, the punched-through functions also change accordingly.
MACRO COMMANDS A "macro" command is a series of two or more remote codes issued automatically from a single keypress. You might use a macro to automate a simple command sequence, such as, "Turn on the DVD player and then press PLAY". Or you might compose an elaborate macro to power up an entire system, select a source, choose a Listening Mode, and begin playback again, all from a single keypress. The HTR8 can store one macro on each of its DEVICE SELECTOR and function 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 HTR8 function key to which you wish to assign the macro, until the status LED turns green. The macro button will also light up.
Press the sequence of function keys to be recorded into the macro, being sure to first press the requisite DEVICE SELECTOR key for each function (you may switch devices while recording the macro as many times as necessary), allowing you to create macro containing commands from more than one DEVICE SELECTOR "page."
When you have finished entering the desired command sequence, press [MACRO] again to store the macro; the Learn LED and [MACRO] key illumination will turn off.
NOTE Each macro can store a maximum of 64 command steps. If you exceed this number, the macro will be stored automatically after the 64th command is added.

ENGLISH
OPERATION
USING THE HTR8 REMOTE CONTROL
Example: Record a Macro to the [0] key to turn ON the T777, turn ON the DVD Player, Select Input 1 (Source 1) and commence disc playback of connected Source 1 device (as in the DVD player) · On the HTR8, simultaneously press-and-hold [MACRO] and [0]
(numeric zero); the Learn LED turns steady green. · Press [AMP], press [ON]; press [DVD], press [ON]; press [AMP], press [1]
(Input 1); press [DVD], press [4] (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 HTR8 key to which a macro has previously been stored.
The corresponding macro will run; as each step executes, its "parent" DEVICE SELECTOR key flashes briefly; when execution is finished, the [MACRO] key illumination goes out. Pressing any other HTR8 key while a macro is executing will abort the macro. Remember that you must hold the HTR8 so that its infrared emitter can activate the target components.
NOTE When a macro executes, a 1 second delay is automatically inserted between its commands. If you need more than a 1 second delay between particular commands--for example, to permit a component to power up completely--you can record "empty" steps into the macro by changing DEVICE SELECTOR "pages" without entering actual command functions.
KEY ILLUMINATION TIMEOUT The HTR8'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 HTR8's [DISP] and the [0-9] key, with the digit corresponding to the desired timeout duration; the Learn LED will flash twice to confirm the new setting. When set to zero, the illumination will not turn on at all.
NOTES · Key illumination is activated when one presses any HTR8 key. · If HTR8 senses movement, key illumination is activated without having
to press a key. If HTR8 is shaken, key illumination is also activated. · Key illumination is the biggest drain on the HTR8's batteries. A short key
illumination timeout will extend battery life appreciably; turning it off altogether (set it to 0 seconds) will lengthen it still further.
CONFIGURING KEY ILLUMINATION

Set key illumination timeout to number of seconds corresponding to digit key. Zero turns off the key illumination entirely. Disable light sensor. Key illumination will turn on with any key press. Enable light sensor. Set the light sensor threshold to the current light level. Restore all key illumination settings to the defaults.
FACTORY RESET The HTR8 can be reset to its factory state, deleting all learned commands, copied and punched-through 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 HTR8's [ON] and [RTN] keys; the Learn LED will start to flash green. Release [ON] and [RTN] before the second flash is complete; the Learn LED will turn red, indicating the remote has been reset.
NOTE You must release [ON] and [RTN] before the second flash goes out, otherwise the unit will not reset; should this occur, repeat the full procedure.
DELETE MODE The HTR8 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 T777 commands on the [AMP] "page".
You can delete commands by layers back "down" to the default library command on any key, removing learned commands, punched-through functions, and copied keys.
NOTE The default library commands cannot be deleted, so you need not worry that using Delete Mode might cause irreparable changes.
To enter Delete Mode, simultaneously press-and-hold for 3 seconds both the desired key's DEVICE SELECTOR key and the [RTN] key, until the Learn LED turns green. Press the function key whose command you wish to delete; the Learn LED flashes; the number of times indicates which type of function has become 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.

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 [A/V PSET] key, until the Learn LED turns green. Now press-and-hold the HTR8's [D] or [F] key; the remote will step through all the available codes at a rate of approximately 1 per second.
When the component turns off, immediately release the cursor key; press [ENTER] to accept that code-library and exit the Library Mode. Try a few commands; should you prove to have stepped past the needed codelibrary, re-enter the Library Mode and use the cursor key to step back to it.
NOTE It is possible that search mode will find code-libraries that operate, at least partially, some other brand (non-NAD) components. You may certainly exploit such capabilities as you find them. However, since we can only ensure the completeness or accuracy of NAD code-libraries, we cannot support the HTR8's operation with other-brand components.
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 [A/V PSET] key, until the Learn LED turns green. Press the [DISP] key; the HTR8 indicates the current code-library by flashing its [CUSTOM], [BD], and [MACRO] keys.
For example, to indicate code-library #501, the HTR8 will flash [CUSTOM] 5 times, pause, and then flash [MACRO] once. You might wish to make a note of your components' code-library numbers.

OPERATION
USING IR CHANNEL
The T777 has the capability to operate via Alternate IR channel. This is practically useful if you have two NAD products that can be operated by similar remote control commands. With alternate IR Channel, two different NAD products can be controlled independently in the same zone by setting each one to a different IR channel.
IR CHANNEL ASSIGNMENT The T777 and the HTR8 remote control must be set to the same channel.
To change the Main Zone IR Channel on the T777 · Press and hold [ a SOURCE ] and then toggle STANDBY button to select
desired IR Channel the VFD will show "IR Channel 1" or "IR Channel 0". The default IR Channel is "IR Channel 0".
To change the IR Channel on the HTR8 remote control · Include a channel number before the library code. For HTR8, library
code "100" is the default library table for "AMP" device. To select this "AMP" library table for "IR Channel 0", retain the library code "100". · If you want to load the "AMP" library table on "IR Channel 1", prefix the library code with "1" to indicate association with "IR Channel 1". Load then the "AMP" library table using the code "1100".
SAMPLE SETUP OF TWO NAD PRODUCTS ON THE SAME ZONE NAD T777 and NAD C 368 are both defaulted to IR Channel 0. If [OFF] button is pressed on the HTR8 remote control (or SR 9 remote control for the C 368), both products will go to standby mode. Press [ON] and both products will power up from standby mode.
To prevent both products from simultaneously going in and out of standby mode along with other common commands, set each one to a different IR channel. In this setup, we will keep C 368 and SR 9 remote control defaulted to "IR Channel 0". As for T777, we will assign it to "IR Channel 1"; the same applies to HTR8.
Set T777 and HTR8 to "IR Channel 1" via the following procedure. T777 · Press and hold [ a SOURCE ] and then toggle STANDBY button to select "IR Channel 1".
HTR 8 Begin by ensuring that the T777 is powered-up ("on", not merely in standby). · To enter HTR 8's library mode, press and hold both the [AMP] device
and [A/V PSET] until the LEARN LED turns green. · While keeping the HTR 8 pointed towards the T777, enter the
library code "1100". Press [OFF]. If the T777 goes to standby mode, press [ENTER] to accept the library code number and exit library mode.
With both T777 and HTR8 set to "IR Channel 1", the C 368 can now be remotely controlled independent of the T777.
NOTE Performing a Factory Reset for T777 or HTR8 will result to a return to the factory default "IR Channel 0" setting.
