ABOUT THE T 762

Though the T 762 is among the most technically sophisticated A/V receivers, we worked hard to make it one of the most musically transparent home-theater components available as well; this is what we mean by NAD’s “Music First” design philosophy. Here are just a few examples:

•The T 762 uses NAD’s proprietary Power Drive™ amplifier technology for all channels to preserve accurate, linear reproduction regardless of the loudspeaker. This uniquely efficient power-supply topol- ogy provides the real-world benefits of high dynamic power that remains uncompromised by low- impedance speakers. The result is dynamic, detailed, “un-receiver-like” sound in stereo and multichannel modes alike. NAD’s exclusive Soft Clipping™ circuitry further enhances sound quality and dynamic potential.

•High-performance components used throughout the receiver’s analog audio circuits maximize quality from all sources, including multichannel analog sources such as DVD-Audio and SACD.

•Preamp output (all channels) and main-amp input jacks make potential expansion as flexible as possible.

•A Second set of Speaker terminals (Speakers B) for remote listening.

•Second Zone (MULTISOURCE) pre-amp and video feed with assignable 12 V DC trigger control.

•An RS-232 port for advanced zone control through a Windows® compatible PC.

•Gold-surfaced connectors are employed throughout to ensure maximum signal integrity.

E.A.R.S., MATRIX AND DIGITAL SURROUND

A key element of the T 762’s unique musical aptitude is NAD’s proprietary Enhanced Ambience Recovery System (EARS). In sharp contrast to many “ambience-synthesis” music-surround modes, EARS exploits the T 762’s substantial DSP power to route the ambient content that is “encrypted” in virtually all natural- acoustic recordings to the appropriate main, center and surround speakers, without resorting to artificially generated reflections or regeneration. EARS’ natural ambience yields a subtle but exceptionally effective surround mode that naturally enhances the spatial presentation in a fashion suitable for serious music listening. The T 762 also incorporates a second proprietary surround mode, Matrix 7.1. This creates a full 6.1/7.1-channel environment from stereo and surround-encoded recordings, oftentimes with extraordinarily good results. Dolby ProLogic II Music and DTS Neo:6 Music modes can also create enjoyable experience from 2-channel sources.

On the digital side, the T 762 combines extraordinarily high-speed DSP processing employing one of the most advanced high-speed DSP “engines” available, with fully 24-bit, 192 kHz-sampling-capable D/A converters for all channels. A single, high-precision master clock synchronizes all digital circuits to eliminate the timing errors (“jitter”) that otherwise compromise sonics. The result is legitimately state-of-the-art surround decoding from Dolby Digital and DTS sources, and 6.1/7.1-channel reproduction, with genuinely superior sound quality in all modes.

EASE OF USE

Despite the effort NAD has invested in the T 762 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

2universal remote control is equally understandable, as are the T 762’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.

INTEGRATION

The T762 receiver offers extensive, flexible system-integration options through its configurable DC trigger outputs and input, and its standard-protocol IR communications links. The DC trigger outputs can be assigned to either Local and/or Zone locations.

SECOND ZONE (MULTISOURCE)

The T762 receiver is equipped with a full second Zone control through the ZR 2 remote and the use of Video and pre-amp level audio outputs. Complete access to volume, On/Off, all inputs including the local input is available.

RS-232

Flexible system configuration is possible with the RS-232 interface and NAD’s proprietary Windows® compatible software. This interface allows complete remote control of the T762 from any remote location via the PC. Complete remote control functionality is available to the user by interface software. See your NAD audio specialist for further information.
