Tone Controls; Zone 2 Controls - NAD T 747 Owner's Manual

TONE CONTROLS

"Tone Defeat" gives one the choice of varying or completely bypassing the
tone control section of the T 747. If "Off" is selected, the Tone Control circuits
are active. Select "On" to bypass the Tone Controls effectively defeating the
effect of the tone control circuits.
The T 747 has two Tone Control levels - Treble and Bass. Bass and Treble
controls only affect the low bass and high treble leaving the critical
midrange frequencies free of coloration.
These controls allow one to tweak on-the-fly, the frequency response of
the source. Use the [ ] keys to adjust Treble and Bass within the range
± 10 dB.

ZONE 2 CONTROLS

The Zone feature allows one to simultaneously listen to an active Source of
the T 747 that is different from the currently selected Source.
Power
Select "On" to activate the Zone 2 function. If "Power" is set to "Off", the Zone
2 feature is deactivated or powered off.
Source
When activated, Zone 2 can be allocated a Source input by selecting
through the following inputs – All enabled Sources (Source 1-3, iPod,
Source 5, Source 6), Multi, Front, MP and Tuner. Select the particular Source
input to be associated to the Zone 2 output. As long as the associated
Source input is active, it will continuously be available at ZONE 2 OUT
regardless of the Main Zone settings. For example, while the T 747 is at
Source 1 mode, you can set the Zone 2 Controls' "Source" item to "Source
2"; the active Source 2's audio and video output will be directed to ZONE 2
output port in the rear panel even though the T 747 is at Source 1 mode.
You can then feed the ZONE 2 OUT jacks to another amplifier or receiver that
maybe located in another area of your home or building. With your separate
amplifier or receiver selecting the fed signal and with speakers connected, you
can then enjoy the zone selected source' s audio/video signal.
USING THE T 747 – MAIN MENU
Volume
"Volume" refers to the adjustable secondary Zone 2 Volume level that can
be increased or decreased depending upon its settings. "Volume" can either
be set to "Fixed" or "Variable". This is applicable only if the selected ZONE 2
Audio Output port is the ZONE 2 VAR. If ZONE 2 FIX is the selected Zone
2 audio output port, the "Volume" settings in this Zone 2 Controls OSD
will not apply.
Fixed: If "Volume" is set to "Fixed", you can set a desired preset dB level
and thereafter the zone's volume level can be varied via the volume
control of the separate amplifier it is fed into.
Variable: When set to "Variable", the Zone 2 Volume level is directly
adjustable using [VOL ] keys of ZR 5 remote control or can be
varied via the volume control of the separate amplifier it is fed into. At
"Variable" setting, you have to exit from the Main menu OSD for you to
use ZR 5's [VOL ] buttons in adjusting the Zone 2 volume level.
NOTE
When Zone 2 is activated, "Z2: _ _ _ " (_ _ _ corresponds to the selected
Source) is displayed in the VFD when "Zone 2 Source" is selected at either
"Line 1" or "Line 2" of the "Front Panel Display Setup" menu (See "Front
Panel Display Setup" below under Setup Menu discussions). If the Zone
function is not turned OFF, the same zone display settings will still be
shown in the VFD even though the T 747 is powered OFF. Turn OFF the
Zone function either by pressing ZR 5's OFF button or setting "Power" to
"Off" at the Zone 2 Controls menu.
