EASE OF USE Despite the effort NAD has invested in the T 773 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 2 universal remote control is equally understandable, as are the T 773’s own front-panel and on-screen... -
Page 8: Upgradability
Packed with your T 773 is the NAD HTR 2 remote control, a full-system remote especially designed to be easy to use and easy to understand. Be sure to read the section “Using the HTR 2 Remote Control”, to familiarize yourself with the remote’s layout and operations before proceeding to setup your A/V Receiver. -

ABOUT THE ON-SCREEN DISPLAYS (OSD) AND FRONT-PANEL READOUT The T 773 A/V Receiver employs a simple, self-explanatory system of on-screen display "menus" that will appear on the connected video monitor/TV. These are required during the setup process (and are useful in day-to-day operation), so be sure to connect the monitor/TV before proceeding with setup. -
Page 16: Speaker Setup
ABOUT THE ON-SCREEN DISPLAYS (OSD) AND FRONT-PANEL READOUT 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. -

• Enhanced-Stereo 2 (ST2) All recordings reproduced in stereo via the surround speakers only (plus subwoofer, if any), assuming these are configured in the current <Speakers Setup>. ST2 can prove useful in certain late-night or very low-volume listening situations. The following Surround Sound Modes require a specially encoded signal that must be present in digital format to be decoded by the T 773. -

• Contains pre-programmed library of NAD remote codes. The NAD HTR 2 is ready to operate the T 773 A/V Receiver right out of the box, but it is really eight remotes in one. Each of the 8 Device Selector keys at the top of the handset can call up a new “page” of remote- control codes to be transmitted by the remaining 44 keys. -

PUNCH-THROUGH PUNCH-THROUGH PUNCH-THROUGH PUNCH-THROUGH PUNCH-THROUGH The HTR 2’s “punch-through” function allows you to retain a function key from one Device Select “page” on another, so that, for example, the AMP [SURR MODE] function might still control the T 773 when the DVD Device Selector page is active NOTE: The HTR 2’s [VOL] keys are pre-programmed as “punched-through”... -
