GETTING THE MOST FROM THE NAD T 752 Thank you for choosing NAD. The T 752 A/V Surround Sound Receiver is a technologically advanced and highly capable product — yet we have invested great effort in making it simple and easy to use. The T 752 delivers a range of genuinely useful options for surround sound and stereo listening alike, using powerful digital signal processing and superbly accurate digital-audio circuitry.
UNPACKING AND SETUP Packed with your T 752 receiver you will find: • An AM loop antenna • A FM ribbon-wire antenna with balun • A removable AC cable (if you wish, any IEC-standard AC cable of suitable wattage may be substituted). •...
2 universal remote control is equally understandable, as are the T 752’s own front-panel and on-screen displays. Its simple yet powerful system of “presets” permits you to fine-tune your listening setup for different conditions, sources, or listeners, and to recall these multiple parameters with a single keypress. INTEGRA INTEGRA INTEGRATION...
ABOUT THE T 752 The T 752 receiver permits flexible system growth via individually accessible pre-out and main-in jacks for all three front channels, enabling external amplifiers to be used for any of these while still maintaining utility of the receiver’s on-board power-amplifier channels for additional channels, remote-room links, or any other suitable purpose.
In case you simply cannot wait to experience the performance of your new NAD T 752 receiver, we provide the following “Quickstart” instructions to get you underway. The steps below connect your DVD player to the T 752’s DVD input; be sure to read “Input Setup”, below. PLAY A DVD MOVIE Y A DVD MOVIE Y A DVD MOVIE...
FRONT PANEL POWER: Press in to switch the receiver to Standby; the amber indicator (2) above the power button will light, but the main VFL display remains dark, and very little power is consumed. Pressing any other front-panel key, or the HTR 2 remote’s [ON] button, will switch the receiver on, making it operational, changing the amber Standby indicator to green and illuminating the VFL display.

NOTE: For headphone listening the front left/right speakers must be set to “Large” on the OSD’s Speaker Settings page, otherwise headphone bass response will be restricted. NOTE: Plugging in headphones will automatically switch the T752 to “Stereo” mode. keys provide direct access to those channels’ relative levels, however in this case the...
S-Video connection is superior and should be used if your TV/monitor provides the corresponding input. NOTE: The T752 “transcodes” S-Video to composite-video signals, so that S-Video signals connected to the DVD, SAT, VCR, and VIDEO4-6 inputs will be present at both the S-Video and composite MONITOR OUT jacks when any of these inputs is selected. This provides the convenience of requiring only a single video connection (usually S-Video) between the T 752 and the TV/monitor.

DISC: Connect the analog stereo audio output from a second CD player or other line-level audio source to this input. NOTE: Connecting a phonograph turntable to the T 752 requires an outboard magnetic phono-preamp component such as the NAD PP1; you cannot connect turntable directly to the DISC inputs.
SETTING UP THE T 752 Before you make the first connection to your T 752, 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.
ABOUT THE ON-SCREEN DISPLAYS (OSD) AND FRONT-PANEL READOUT The T 752 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.
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.
ABOUT THE ON-SCREEN DISPLAYS (OSD) AND FRONT-PANEL READOUT As the test signal cycles around the speakers, the OSD (and the VFL front panel display) will highlight the currently playing channel. Now use the remote's [ from the currently playing channel to the required level (it’s usually simplest to begin with the left-front). The "level offset"...
USING THE T 752 You may operate the T 752 receiver from its front panel or via the HTR 2 remote control. Since the remote will be the primary controller for most cases, we will focus on remote-controlled operations. Be sure also to read the section, "Front Panel"...
ABOUT ANTENNAS ABOUT ANTENNAS ABOUT ANTENNAS ABOUT ANTENNAS ABOUT ANTENNAS The supplied ribbon-wire FM antenna can be connected to the rear-panel FM-antenna input using the ‘balun’ included adapter, and should be fully extended to form a “T”. This folded-dipole antenna will usually work best oriented vertically, with the arms of its “T”...
The following Surround Sound Modes require a specially encoded signal that must be present in digital format to be decoded by the T752. These modes are automatically switched on when the appropriate data stream is detected selected in the setup menu of the source media.
• Dolby Digital • Dolby Digital EX • DTS • DTS ES 6.1 Digital recordings in Dolby Digital or DTS formats are reproduced via the channels employed in the original recording (up to the maximum channels present in the current <Speaker Settings> setup). NOTE: The DVD player must be sending a Dolby Digital or DTS bit-stream from its digital output.
Use the HTR 2 remote's [Surr. Mode] key, or the front panel SURROUND MODE key, to select the Listening Mode you wish to display and listen to; this will display on the T752’s VFL Display. One can also select variations using the HTR 2 [ Dolby Pro Logic II (PLII) PLII MOVIES is optimized for film soundtracks.

USING THE HTR 2 REMOTE CONTROL 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 752 when the DVD Device Selector page is active To set a punch through, after entering the Learning Mode, and pressing the desired key to be punched- through, simply press the device key twice of the device to punch through to.
NOTE: When a macro executes, a 1 second delay is automatically inserted between its commands. If you need more than a 1 second delay between particular commands—for example, to permit a component to power up completely—you can record “empty” steps into the macro by changing Device Selector “pages” without entering actual command functions.
USING THE HTR 2 REMOTE CONTROL SEARCH MODE SEARCH MODE SEARCH MODE SEARCH MODE SEARCH MODE If none of the codes from the table, when entered, turns on the component, and if you are quite sure you have followed the above procedure completely and carefully, you may want to try the “search” method as follows: Enter Library Mode by simultaneously pressing-and-holding for 3 seconds both the desired Device Selector key and the [A/V PRESET] key, until the Learn LED turns green.
