Tone Controls; Zone Controls - NAD T 777 Owner's Manual

TONE CONTROLS

The T 777 has three Tone Control levels – Treble, Bass and Center Dialog.
Bass and Treble controls only affect the low bass and high treble leaving the
critical midrange frequencies free of coloration. The Center Dialog ('Dialog'
in the VFD) control boosts the 'presence' of the midrange region improving
intelligibility of speech.
These controls allow one to tweak on-the-fly, the frequency response
of the source during playback. The control setting could be adjusted
by navigating through the Tone Controls' OSD menu via a combination
of [ENTER] and [A/S/D/F] keys. The same can be managed directly by
pressing the front panel's TONE button and then rotating the VOLUME knob
to select desired setting.
Maximum and minimum values for all three Tone Control levels are ±10 dB.
'Tone Defeat' gives one the choice of varying or completely bypassing the
tone control section of the T 777. If 'Off' ('Tone Active' in the VFD) is selected,
the Tone Control circuits are active.
Select 'On' ('Tone Defeat' in the VFD) to bypass the Tone Controls effectively
defeating the effect of the tone control circuits.
NOTE
Tone Controls options can be directly selected or changed using HTR 8's
[TONE] button with DEVICE SELECTOR set to AMP mode. Toggle [TONE]
button to select "Treble", "Bass" or "Dialog" and then use the [D/F] to
adjust their respective levels. Press [TONE] again to save the settings and
at the same time move on to the next parameter or exit the parameter
setting altogether.
USING THE T 777 – MAIN MENU

ZONE CONTROLS

Depending on the settings made at the separate 'Zone Setup' menu under
the 'Setup Menu' section discussion, the applicable Zone can be configured
and managed via this 'Zone Controls' window.
Select 'On' to activate the applicable Zone. When activated, the Source input
for the particular Zone can be allocated by selecting through the following
inputs – All enabled Sources, Front Input, Media Player, Tuner and Local.
Select 'Local' as your selected Zone's Source input if you wish to enjoy the
same source as the main Zone and allow simultaneous listening, but with
full separate volume levels.
If a Zone is set to 'Off, ' it is deactivated or powered off.
'Volume' refers to the adjustable secondary Zone 2 Volume level that can be
increased or decreased using the D/F buttons of the HTR 8 or front panel's
corresponding navigation buttons.
When a Zone is activated, a corresponding Zone number is illuminated
at the VFD. Zone 2 is always available to be configured at 'Zone Controls'
menu. For Zone 3 and Zone 4 to become available at the 'Zone Controls'
window, their corresponding 'Mode' in the 'Zone Setup' menu under the
'Setup Menu' section should be set to 'Zone (Audio Only). '
NOTE
The ZR 7 remote control will only control Zone 2 applications. Zone 3
and Zone 4 could be configured and managed at the appropriate Zone
OSD menu using the front panel navigations buttons as well as the
corresponding keys on the HTR 8 remote control.
