OVERVIEW OF THE HTR 3
•Controls up to 8 devices.
•44 function keys.
•Learns up to 352 commands.
•Records up to 44 macros with a maximum of 64 commands each.
•Configurable punch-through.
•Key illumination with programmable timeout.
•Upgradable.
•Contains pre-programmed library of NAD remote codes.
The NAD HTR 3 is ready to operate NAD components right out of the box, but it is really eight remotes in one. Each of the 8 DEVICE SELECTOR keys at the top of the handset can call up a new “page” of remote control codes to be transmitted by the remaining 44 keys. You may “teach” codes from any infrared- remote controlled component, regardless of brand, to any or all of these.
Obviously, the most logical system is that you teach the codes from your DVD player to the [DVD] DEVICE SELECTOR “page,” your television’s codes to the [TV] “page” and so on, but there is no required scheme: You may load any commands to any key on any page (see “Learning Codes From Other Remotes,” below).
The HTR 3 is already pre-programmed with a full complement of NAD receiver commands on its [AMP] DEVICE SELECTOR page, and as well as with library commands to operate most NAD- brand DVD or CD components on the corresponding DEVICE SELECTOR “pages.”These default commands are permanent: Even if you teach the HTR 3 new commands to take their place, the underlying library commands remain in place and can easily be recalled should you add an NAD component to your system later (see “Delete Mode”, below).
GETTING FAMILIAR WITH THE HTR 3
The HTR 3 is divided into two main sections. Eight DEVICE SELECTOR keys at the top—[AMP], [DVD,] [TV,] and so on—set the handset’s remaining keys to a “page” of commands to control a particular component. A DEVICE SELECTOR key determines only what component the HTR 3 will command; it does not perform any function on the component. All of the remaining keys are function keys that can “learn” control codes from virtually any infrared remote controller, allowing you to teach the codes of your equipment, regardless of brand, to the HTR 3.
All of the function keys on the [AMP] DEVICE SELECTOR “page” are pre-programmed to control NAD amplifiers, preamplifiers and receivers. The HTR 3 can also command many other NAD components, from its [DVD], [CD], [TUNER] and [CUSTOM] pages.
It is important to note that certain HTR 3 keys perform different functions depending on the selected DEVICE SELECTOR “page.” The color of the DEVICE SELECTOR key-labelling corresponds to the labelling of the function keys. Most centrally, the black [AMP] DEVICE SELECTOR “page” corresponds to the black as well as white input-select labelling above the numeric keys: When the HTR 3’s [AMP] DEVICE SELECTOR page is active; these keys select the amplifier or receiver inputs. Similarly, the purple [DVD] DEVICE SELECTOR “page” corresponds to several purple labels, the green [TV] page to green labels, and so on.
