OVERVIEW OF THE HTR 8

• 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 HTR 8 is ready to operate the T 777 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 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 8 is already pre-programmed with a full complement of T 777 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 HTR 8 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 HTR 8

The HTR 8 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 HTR 8 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 HTR 8.
However, the HTR 8 is already pre-programmed to operate the T 777. All of the function keys on the
[AMP] Device Selector "page" perform T 777 functions. The HTR 8 can also command many other NAD
components from its [DVD], [CD], [BD] and [TUNER] pages.
It is important to note that certain HTR 8 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 HTR 8'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 HTR 8 "nose-to-nose" with the source remote so the two devices' infrared
windows are about 2 inches apart.
• Enter Learning Mode: On the HTR 8, simultaneously press-and-hold for 3 seconds both a DEVICE
SELECTOR key and the [RES] key until the Learn LED of the HTR 8 turns steady green.
• Press the HTR 8'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 8's Learn LED will flicker amber for
a second or two, then turn solid green. The command is learned.
•
Press the HTR 8'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
HTR 8.
