Contains pre-programmed library of NAD remote codes for the L53.

The NAD HTR L53 is ready to operate the L53 receiver right out of the box, but it is really eight remotes in one. Each of the 8 Device Selector buttons at the top of the handset can call up a new “page” of remote-control codes to be transmitted by the remaining 44 buttons. 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 button on any page (see “Learning Codes From Other Remotes,” below).

The HTR L53 is already preprogrammed with a full complement of commands for the L53 receiver on its “AMP”, “TUNER” and “DVD” Device Selector page, and as well as with library commands to operate most NAD-brand DVD, CD, or TAPE components on the corresponding Device Selector “pages.” These default commands are permanent: Even if you teach the HTR L53 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).

NOTE

For use with the L53, it should not be necessary to re-program any buttons on the HTR L53 “AMP” and “DVD” page. However, in order for the HTR L53 to control your specific NAD-brand components you may need to load one or more different code-libraries; see “Loading Code Libraries,” below.

CONTROLLING THE L53

The HTR L53 is divided into two main sections. Eight Device Selector buttons at the top-“AMP”, “DVD,” “TV,” and so on-set the handset’s remaining buttons to a “page” of commands to control a particular component. A Device Select button determines only what component the HTR L53 will command; it does not perform any function on the receiver. All of the remaining buttons are function buttons 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 L53.

However, the HTR L53 is already preprogrammed to operate the L53. All of the function buttons on the “AMP”, “TUNER” and “DVD” Device Selector “page” perform L53 functions. (The HTR L53 can also command many other NAD components, from its “CD” and “TAPE” pages.)

It is important to note that certain HTR L53 buttons perform different functions depending on the selected Device Selector “page.” The colour of the Device Selector button-labelling corresponds to the labelling of the function buttons. Most centrally, the orange “AMP” Device Selector “page” corresponds to the orange input-select labelling adjacent to the numeric buttons: When the HTR L53’s “AMP” Device Selector page is active, these buttons select the receiver inputs. Similarly, the red “DVD” Device Selector “page” corresponds to several red labels, the green “TV” page to green labels, and so on.
