SAVE THE PACKAGING
Please save the box and all of the packaging in which your T 758 arrived. Should you move or otherwise need to transport your T 758, 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!

INITIAL SETUP

Before you make the first connection to your T 758, you should have the arrangement of your listening room/home theater components and furniture mapped out, at least initially. Unfortunately, a discussion of the vital questions of loudspeaker placement and listening/viewing positions is beyond our scope here.

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 T 758's front panel and your primary listening/viewing position - this will ensure reliable infrared remote control communications. The T 758 generates a modest amount of heat, but nothing that should trouble adjacent components. It is especially important that sufficient ventilation be provided.

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 Audio Input Video Input
Source 1 HDMI 1 / Audio 1 HDMI 1
Source 2 HDMI 2 / Audio 2 HDMI 2
Source 3 HDMI 3 / Audio 3 HDMI 3
Source 6 BluOS Off
Source 7 7.1 Channel Input Off
Front Input Optical Front Input/ Audio Front Input Off
Media Player Audio Front MP

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 T 758 - SETUP MENU" segment of the "OPERATION" section.

ALTERNATE IR CHANNEL

The T 758 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 T 758 and the AVR 4 remote control must be set to the same channel.

To change the Main Zone IR Channel on the T 758

  • 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 AVR 4 remote control

  • Include a channel number before the library code. For AVR 4, library code "10" is the default library table for "AMP" device. To select this "AMP" library table for "IR Channel 0", retain the library code "10" (or "010").
  • 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 "110". Repeat the same for MP (130) and TUNER (140).
SAMPLE SETUP OF TWO NAD PRODUCTS ON THE SAME ZONE

NAD T 758 and NAD C 326BEE are both defaulted to IR Channel 0. If [OFF] button is pressed on the AVR 4 remote control (or SR 8 remote control for the C 326BEE), 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 326BEE and SR 8 remote control defaulted to "IR Channel 0". As for T 758, we will assign it to "IR Channel 1"; the same applies to AVR 4.
Set T 758 and AVR 4 to "IR Channel 1" via the following procedure.
T 758

  • Press and hold a SOURCE and then toggle STANDBY button to select "IR Channel 1".

AVR 4

  • Press and hold [AMP] in the DEVICE SELECTOR section of the AVR 4.
  • While holding down the device button [AMP], press "1", "1" and "0" using AVR 4's numeric buttons.
  • Press [ENTER] while still holding down the device button [AMP]. The AMP device selector will flash once to indicate that the library input is successful.

With both T 758 and AVR 4 set to "IR Channel 1", the C 326BEE can now be remotely controlled independent of the T 758.
NOTE
Performing a Factory Reset for T 758 or AVR 4 will result to a return to the factory default "IR Channel 0" setting.

  1. Press [] to select a menu item. Use [] or in some cases, [ENTER], to move up or down the Menu selections. Repeatedly press [] to advance or go further into the sub-menu of desired menu item.
  2. Use [] to set or change the parameter value (setting) of a menu item.
  3. Press [] to save the settings or changes done on the current menu or sub-menu. Pressing [] will also return the user to the previous menu or exit from a particular menu.

The Main Menu contains the menu options for "DSP Options", "Tone Controls", "Zone Controls", "System Info" and access to "Setup Menu".
Follow the guidelines about "DISPLAY THE OSD" and "NAVIGATING THE OSD AND MAKING CHANGES" to navigate through the menu options and their sub-menu selections.

NOTE
The individual configurations set forth at "DSP Options" and "Tone Controls" are carried over whenever they are enabled at A/V Presets setting. Please see the section "AV PRESETS" for reference.

DSP OPTIONS

LIP SYNC DELAY
DSP Options has the feature "Lip Sync Delay" whose function is to match any delay that may occur in the picture relative to the audio.
By varying "Lip Sync Delay" from 0ms to 120ms, one can delay the audio output in order to synchronize it with the video image.

TONE CONTROLS

The T 758 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 during playback. The control setting could be adjusted by navigating through the Tone Controls' OSD menu via a combination of [ENTER] and [] keys.
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 758. 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 AVR 4's [TONE] button with DEVICE SELECTOR set to AMP mode. Refer to front panel display to manage tone controls. Toggle [TONE] button to select "Treble" or "Bass" and then use the [] 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.

ZONE CONTROLS

Depending on the settings made at the separate "Zone Setup" menu under the "Setup Menu" section discussion, Zone 2 can be configured and managed via this "Zone Controls" window.
Set "Power" to "On" to activate Zone 2. When activated, the Source input for Zone 2 can be allocated by selecting through the following inputs – All enabled Sources, Front Input, Media Player and Local.
As long as the associated Source input is active, it will continuously be available at ZONE 2 output port in the rear panel regardless of the Main Zone settings. For example, while the T 758 is at Source 1 mode, you can set the Zone 2 Controls' "Source" item to "Source 3"; the active Source 3's audio output will be directed to ZONE 2 output port in the rear panel even though the T 758 is at Source 1 mode.
You can then feed the ZONE 2 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 signal.
Select "Local" as your selected Zone 2 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 2 is set to "Off", it is deactivated or powered off.

ZONE 2 AT AUDIO PRE-OUT SURROUND BACK
BACK L and BACK R channels of AUDIO PRE-OUT can be assigned as Zone 2 OUT. This is applicable only if "Zone 2" is the selected setting of "Back Amplifier" in the "Amplifier Setup" menu.
With this condition, the following are applicable

  • The surround back amplifier channels supply Zone 2 speaker level output via the surround back speaker terminals. With this setup, Zone 2 audio/speaker level can be increased or decreased using the VOL (Volume) keys of the supplied ZR 7 zone remote control.
  • At the same time, Zone 2 continues to send zone selected audio source to the corresponding audio input of a separately located additional amplifier or receiver (not supplied) that can power its matching set of speakers. Zone 2 audio level for this port is fixed; it cannot be adjusted by any ZR 7 volume command.
  • On the other hand, the secondary Zone 2 at AUDIO PRE-OUT (item "AUDIO PRE-OUT/SURR-B/FRONT-HT/ZONE 2" in the "IDENTIFICATION OF CONTROLS – REAR PANEL" section) also sends zone selected audio source to the corresponding audio input of a separately located additional amplifier or receiver (not supplied) that can power its matching set of speakers. Zone 2 audio output for this secondary Zone 2 can be increased or decreased using the VOL (Volume) keys of the supplied ZR 7 zone remote control.
  • For the applicable Zone 2 function, Zone 2 audio level can only be adjusted using the Volume keys of ZR 7 remote control only if "Back Amp" in the "Amplifier Setup" menu is set to "Zone 2". Setting "Back Amp" to "Main Front" or "Main Back" will not allow Zone 2 audio level adjustment.


Only analog audio connected through a Source's analog audio input port can be associated as audio source for Zone 2. Digital audio sources connected via HDMI, digital optical and digital coaxial input ports cannot be downmixed and used as Zone 2 audio source. BluOS audio is also not applicable as a Zone 2 audio source. Ensure that the associated Source's Digital Audio setting is set to "Off" or no actual digital source is connected.

VOLUME
"Volume" refers to the adjustable secondary Zone 2 Volume level that can be increased or decreased depending upon its settings. This is applicable only if the Zone 2 Volume setting in the separate "Zone Setup" menu under "Setup Menu" is set to "Variable". If set to "Fixed", this "Volume" item at the Zone Controls section will not be available.
NOTES

  • If Zone 2 is still ON and STANDBY button is pressed to switch the T 758 to standby mode, the VFD will be extinguished but the STANDBY LED remains illuminated blue. This indicates that Zone 2 is still active. In order to completely shut down the T 758 together with Zone 2, press and hold STANDBY button until the STANDBY LED turns amber.
  • Zone 2 is audio only and not associated with any video input sources.

USING THE T 758 – SETUP MENU

SETUP MENU

The Setup Menu allows one to customize the operation of the T 758 to the ancillary equipment used in one's specific AV system. Unless your system exactly matches the factory defaults as shown in the accompanying Quick Start Guide, you will need to use the setup menu to configure the inputs of the T 758.

At Setup Menu, the following are configurable:

  • Control Setup
  • Source Setup
  • Speaker Setup
  • Zone Setup
  • Amplifier Setup
  • Trigger Setup
  • Listening Mode Setup
  • Front Panel Display Setup
  • A/V Presets
  • BluOS Setup
  • Select Language

To access and navigate through Setup Menu and its sub-menu selections, please refer to and follow the directions stated in the sections 'Display the OSD' and 'Navigating the OSD and Making Changes.'

CONTROL SETUP

The T 758 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 T 758 via HDMI connection.

AUTO STANDBY
The T 758 can be setup to automatically go to standby mode if there is no user interface interaction within 30 minutes.
On: T 758 will go to standby mode automatically in the absence of any user interface interaction within 30 minutes.
Off: T 758 remains active even though no user interface interaction is detected.

CEC/LAN/BluOS IN STANDBY
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 T 758).
  • LAN and BluOS connections continue to be active.

Off

  • T 758 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 T 758).
  • LAN and BluOS connections are cut off.

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 T 758 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 T 758 will automatically go to standby mode if it receives a CEC standby command. On the other hand, if the T 758 receives a CEC power up command, the T 758 will correspondingly switch ON from standby mode.
  • Source Switch: At "On" setting, the T 758 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 T 758 and TV with CEC will automatically switch to their respective input connections – the T 758 switching to the HDMI input where the BD Player is connected while the TV will switch to its input where the T 758's HDMI MONITOR OUT is connected. This completes the autoconfiguration – the BD Player is automatically played back using the T 758 and TV.
  • Audio System: At "On" setting, the T 758 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 T 758 will also respond to CEC volume and mute commands. For example, a CEC TV may forward the volume commands from its remote to the T 758.
  • ARC Mode: Audio Return Channel (ARC) enables an ARC-enabled TV to send audio data "upstream" to T 758. This option has three choices: Off, Auto or Source Setup.
    • Auto: When set to Auto, the T 758 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 T 758 will output the ARC audio signal no matter what source is selected on the T 758 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 T 758 which is set for ARC, the T 758 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 T 758 source when you want it to remain on the ARC source.

  • "Audio System" must be set to "On" for "ARC mode" to manifest as an option.
  • "CEC in Standby" must be set to "On" for audio and video to continuously stream from a CEC-enabled HDMI source to a CECenabled TV (with both devices connected via T 758).

SOURCE SETUP

The Source Setup menu makes it possible to set, allocate or change the Sources settings.

The T 758 Sources are all configurable. Each Source can be configured with respect to the following settings.

ENABLED
One can enable/disable a Source via this option. This is particularly useful if only few Sources are used and one directly selects the Source from the front panel, bypassing unused sources.
Select "Yes" to enable the particular Source or "No" to disable the Source.

NAME
A new Name maybe assigned to a Source label. For example, if your BD player is attached to "Source 1", it is possible to rename "Source 1" to "BD Player". In order to rename the Source label, scroll to the "Name" parameter. Press [] to go to the first character. Then, press [] to pick through the alphanumeric selections.
Press [] to move to the next character and at the same time save the changes done on the current character. The name can be as long as twelve characters.
The new Name will be shown in the VFD as well as on the OSD.

ANALOG AUDIO
The T 758 has six analog audio inputs including 7.1 input. These analog inputs - Stereo 1, Stereo 2, Stereo 3, Stereo Front, Media Player (Front) and External 7.1 can be variably assigned to each Source.
Scroll to "Analog Audio" and then press [] and then [] to select and assign an analog audio input to the particular Source.
Select "External 7.1" to choose the audio signal fed to the "7.1 CH INPUT". If "Off' is selected, no incoming analog audio signal is selected by the particular Source.
NOTE
An incoming digital signal present at the assigned digital input will always take precedence over the assigned analog audio input, even if both are present. To maintain the analog audio input for the particular Source, select "Off" at the "Digital Audio" setting of the same "Source" menu.

ANALOG GAIN

Gain adjustment allows all sources to play back at the same volume level so you don't need to adjust the volume every time a new source is selected. It is generally preferable to reduce the level of the loudest source rather than making louder the softer sources.
Scroll to "Analog Gain", press [] and then [] to step through the desired level from -12dB to 12dB.

DIGITAL AUDIO
To take advantage of the T 758's high performance surround and digital audio circuitry, it is advisable that its Digital Audio inputs are selected. There are various types of Digital Audio input for the T 758. These are HDMI, BluOS, Optical and Coaxial digital inputs. Another option is "Off" whereby no incoming digital audio signal is selected by the particular Source.
The following are the sets of assignable Digital Audio input:
HDMI > HDMI 1, HDMI 2, HDMI 3
Optical > Optical 1, Optical 2, Optical Front
Coaxial > Coaxial 1, Coaxial 2
BluOS
NOTE
An incoming digital signal present at the assigned digital input will always take precedence over the assigned analog audio input, even if both are present. To maintain the analog audio input for the particular Source, select "Off" at the "Digital Audio" setting of the same "Source" menu.

VIDEO INPUT
All three HDMI sources can be assigned as video input to a particular Source. Another option is "Off" wherein the particular Source is prompted not to select any Video input.
HDMI > HDMI 1, HDMI 2, HDMI 3
Previous > Display or retain preceding video.
NOTE
The T 758 also supports HDMI features that include compatibility with a broad range of 3D and HD digital video sources and displays.

A/V PRESET
A particular Source can be assigned a stored Preset. The parameters set up in the selected Preset number will be adopted into the particular Source it is assigned (Please refer to the separate section on "A/V Presets" for further understanding of Preset settings).
A Source could be assigned a Preset number ranging from Preset 1 to 5. If it is desired not to assign the particular Source a Preset setting, select "None".

TRIGGER OUT
The Trigger Out for a particular Source is dependent upon the configurations done in a separate menu on Trigger Setup (See "Trigger Setup" below).
For "Trigger Out" to become enabled and assignable at "Source Setup (Normal View)" menu, make sure to carry out or note the following beforehand

  • In the separate "Trigger Setup" menu, assign "Trigger 1 Out" to "Source Setup".
  • "Trigger Out" option will only be "None" if at the separate "Trigger Setup" menu, "Trigger 1 Out" is assigned to either 'Main" or "Zone 2".

Set "Trigger Out" to "Trigger 1" to activate Trigger Out or "None" to disable it.

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.


Dirac Live and NAD Speaker IQ features are still being finalized and will eventually be added in future firmware Internet upgrade.

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 inputs and in all listening modes. However, speaker settings are part of the T 758'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 [] and then [] keys. Set "Front", "Center" and "Surround" to "Large", "Small" 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 T 758's SUBW output jack.

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", Enhanced Bass is also 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 Presets setting. Please see also the section "AV 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 T 758 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 AVR 4 remote's [TEST] key activating the T 758'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 [] 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 [] 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 T 758'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 [] 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 T 758 of the loudspeaker-tolistener 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 [] keys to individually set the distance measured from your principal listening position to the front surface of the corresponding loudspeaker. Distance can be set up to 30 feet or 9.1 meters. Distance can be displayed as feet or meters selectable at the "Unit of Measure" item.

ADJUSTING THE VOLUME

In addition to the Volume knob, use the AVR 4's VOL [] to adjust the "master volume" of the T 758 raising or lowering the channels altogether. A momentary keypress will change the master volume by 1 dB increments. If you hold down VOL [], 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 -10dB does from another.
The T 758 will power-up from Standby mode at whatever master volume setting was last used; however, if the prior setting was greater than -20dB, the T 758 will power up at -20dB. This prevents inadvertently beginning a session at excessive volume.

MUTING THE SOUND
Use the AVR 4'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 AVR 4 or the front panel volume knob will automatically release the mute function.

ZONE 2 SETUP

The Zone 2 feature allows one to simultaneously experience in a different zone of the house selected audio from any of the enabled Sources as well as from Front Input and Media Player.

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 AVR 4's [] or the corresponding front panel navigation buttons or directly via ZR 7's [VOL ].
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.
See discussion also about "Zone Controls" at the Main Menu.

AMPLIFIER SETUP

If the surround back speakers are not used in the main zone, their surround back amplifier channels could be assigned for Back, Height 1, Height 2, Zone 2 and Front (Bi-Amp) use.

The Surround Back amplifier is configurable through the following settings
Back: Assign as surround back speakers.
Front (Bi-Amp): Provide a bi-amp mode for the Main Front speakers (Left and Right) speakers thus reproducing the Front Left and Front Right amplifier channel outputs.
Zone 2: Assign the surround back amplifier channels to supply Zone 2 speaker level outputs from the surround back speaker terminals. Refer also to the item about "ZONE 2 AT AUDIO PRE-OUT SURROUND BACK" in the "ZONE CONTROLS" segment of the "OPERATION - USING THE T 758 - MAIN MENU" section.
Height 1/Height 2: Assign as Height 1 or Height 2 speakers.

TRIGGER SETUP

The T 758 features a configurable +12V TRIGGER OUT that can be used to activate a component or system it is fed into. It is used to turn on/off other compliant devices.

The T 758's +12V TRIGGER OUT is dependent on which mode it is associated with. There are three choices where the +12V TRIGGER OUT can be assigned and these are - Main, Zone 2 and Source Setup.
Main: +12V DC is available at +12V TRIGGER OUT when the T 758 is at powered state.
Zone 2: When the Zone 2 is at powered state, +12V DC is available at +12V TRIGGER OUT.
Source Setup: If Trigger Output is linked to "Source Setup", +12V DC is available at +12V TRIGGER OUT whenever the particularly assigned Source is selected.

DELAY
The availability of +12V DC at Trigger Out can be regulated. If it is desired that +12V DC is available without delay the moment Trigger Out is linked to its assigned setting, set Delay to 0s. Otherwise, one can select through a delay time of 1s to 15s.

LISTENING MODE SETUP

The T 758 has various listening mode options and is mostly configurable. These are provided to reproduce a variety of sound effects depending upon the content of the source to be played.

LISTENING MODES
The audio format as detected by the selected Source can be automatically configured and processed through the following options:

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 it to either Dolby Surround or None.
Surround: If the detected audio is of Dolby Surround format, you can default it 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 the "Stereo" or "Surround" settings set forth at the "PCM" option. See discussion below about "PCM".

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 it to one of the following settings - NEO:6 Cinema, NEO:6 Music or None.
Surround: If the detected audio is of DTS Surround format, you can default it to one of the following settings - NEO:6 Cinema, NEO:6 Music, Stereo Downmix or None.
None: If "None" is selected, the DTS signal will be defaulted to the "Stereo" or "Surround" settings set forth at the "PCM" option. See discussion below about 'PCM'.

PCM
PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) is the digital representation of a standard audio signal converted with little or no compression. If "None" is selected for any of the Dolby or DTS settings, this "PCM" section will default the audio signal as follows
Stereo: The detected stereo audio format will be configured into one of the following options - Dolby Surround, NEO:6 Cinema, NEO:6 Music, EARS, Enhanced Stereo or None.
Surround: The detected surround audio format will be configured into one of the following options - Dolby Surround, NEO:6 Music, NEO:6 Cinema, Stereo Downmix or None.

ANALOG
If the audio input is an analog signal, the following are the surround modes the input can be defaulted - Dolby Surround, NEO: 6 Cinema, NEO: 6 Music, EARS, Enhanced Stereo, Analog Bypass and None.
NOTE
All these Listening Modes for Dolby Digital, DTS, PCM and Analog can be directly changed by pressing the "Listening Mode" button on the front panel.

LISTENING MODES

The T 758 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 music CD or FM broadcast, without surround enhancement. Stereo recordings whether in PCM/digital or analog form and whether surroundencoded 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" 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 (Normal View)", 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.

NEO: 6
Two-channel recordings, whether stereo or surround-encoded, are reproduced with NEO:6 surround with output to front left/right, center and discrete left/right surround channels plus subwoofer (assuming these are present in the current "Speaker Configuration"). The T 758 provides two DTS NEO:6 variations – NEO:6 Cinema and NEO:6 Music. See also section about "Adjusting Listening Modes" below.

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 NEO: 6
NEO: 6 Cinema is optimized for film soundtracks.
NEO: 6 Music for music recordings

  • Center Gain (0 to 0.5): Adjust for better center image in relation to the surround sound channels.

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

Under this menu, the Dynamic Range Control of DTS Digital Surround can be adjusted as well as the settings for DTS Neo: 6 Music.

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.
Center Gain (0 to 0.5): Adjust for better center image in relation to the surround sound channels.

ENHANCED STEREO

Please refer to the same description of ENHANCED STEREO under "LISTENING MODES".

A/V PRESETS

The T 758's simple but powerfully flexible system of "A/V Presets" allows you to customize virtually every aspect of your audio-video playback, and recall them with a single key-press. The parameters "Listening Mode", "DSP Options" and "Tone Controls" accessible via the "Main Menu" together with "Speaker Setup" and "Display Setup" configurable through "Setup Menu" are stored together as a single A/V Preset.
You might create one A/V Preset optimized for pop music and another for classical. One more A/V Preset can be set up to recall each family member's favorite setting or one for fully cinematic home-theater playback and yet another one for late-night movies, with each A/V Preset fine-tuned to a particular scenario or preference.

CREATING PRESETS

Creating an A/V Preset consists simply of storing a complete set of the parameters set forth in "Listening Mode", "DSP Options" and "Tone Controls" accessible via the "Main Menu" together with "Speaker Setup" and "Display Setup" configurable through "Setup Menu".
Scroll to "A/V Presets" using the [] keys to save a collection of said parameter settings to a Preset. Select a Preset number and by pressing the [] keys, you can selectively include in the particular A/V Preset any of the above-mentioned parameter settings by choosing "Yes". If you decide not to include in the particular A/V Preset a certain parameter setting, select "No".
Now in order to save the settings chosen for the particular A/V Preset number, scroll down to "Save Current Setup to Preset" and press the [] key. If you chose to load instead the default settings, scroll down to "Load Defaults to Preset" and press the [] key to restore the default settings.
In addition to the parameter settings, the A/V Preset label itself can be assigned a new name. This new Name will be shown in the VFD as well as on the OSD.
To rename the A/V Preset label, scroll to "Name" and press [] to go the first character. Then, press [] to pick and select through the alphanumeric selections. Press [] to move to the next character or back to the previous character and at the same time save the changes done on the current character.
NOTE
The selected A/V Preset remains in force until you select a different A/V Preset.

SAMPLE PROCEDURE FOR SETTING UP A/V PRESETS
  1. Setup first your preferred settings for the following options (access them through their respective menu page).
    Listening Mode Setup: As per settings in the menu
    DSP Options: 5ms
    Tone Controls: Tone Defeat: On
    Display Setup: Set "Line 2" to "Listening Mode"
    Speaker Setup: from the Speaker Setup menu, go to "Speaker Configuration" sub-menu and change "Subwoofer" from "On" to "Off": "Front" becomes "Large"
  2. With the above settings, scroll to "A/V Presets" from the SETUP MENU page. Use [] to access "A/V Presets" menu.
  3. At "A/V Presets" page, set "Preset: 1" to the following conditions - use [] to select "Yes" or "No" and press [ENTER] to confirm selection and move on to the next setting.
    While at "Save Current Setup to Preset" menu line, use [] to save the above settings to Preset 1. Below OSD will be shown, affirming that the above settings are now saved to "Preset 1".
    When you recall "Preset 1" using the remote control (for AVR 4, "A/V PSET" + "1"), the above preset values allocated at "Preset 1" (preset settings as shown in the OSD captures at Step 1) will be recalled and effected at the current source.
  4. Now, repeat again Step 1 above but this time with the following settings
    Listening Mode Setup: As per settings in the menu
    DSP Options: 0ms
    Tone Controls: Tone Defeat: Off
    Display Setup: Set "Line 2" to "Volume"
  5. With the above settings, scroll to "A/V Presets" from the SETUP MENU page. Use [] to access "A/V Presets" menu.
  6. At "A/V Presets" page, set "Preset: 2" to the following conditions - use [] to select "Yes" or "No" and press [ENTER] to confirm selection and move to the next setting.
    While at "Save Current Setup to Preset" menu line, use [] to save the settings above to "Preset 2". When you recall "Preset 2" using the remote control (for AVR 4, "A/V PSET" + "2"), the above preset values allocated at "Preset 2" (preset settings as shown in the OSD captures at Step 4) will be recalled and effected at the current source.
    Note that "Speaker Setup" is set to "No". At this condition, there will be no "Speaker Setup" values that will be effected at "Preset 2". The "Speaker Setup" settings that will be applied at "Preset 2" will be the last or current "Speaker Setup" settings which in this sample are the same "Speaker Setup" settings shown above in Step 1.
  7. You can setup up to 5 A/V Presets. These same A/V Presets can also be associated/defaulted to each Source in the "Source Setup (Normal View)" window as below.
    In the above example, "Preset 1" settings are allocated for Source 1. Whenever Source 1 is accessed, the "Preset 1" settings will be applied to Source 1. You can still manually override the assigned A/V Preset allocation in a specific Source with another Preset setting/number by way of pressing the appropriate remote control buttons.
RECALLING PRESETS

You may recall an A/V Preset number at any time using the AVR 4 remote control. Press the AVR 4's A/V PSET key and then the numeric key 1-5 corresponding to the desired A/V Preset number. The newly recalled A/V Preset will then manifest or replace the previous A/V Preset (if any).
