ABOUT THE S170i

UPGRADABILITY

A unique feature of the S170i is its modular construction. All of the S170i’s “intelligence” is located on a single plug in module. This sophisticated architecture simplifies servicing, and makes future upgrading a possibility. Because of the extraordinary processing speed and power of the S170i, we frankly do not foresee the possible need for hardware upgrades at this time. Never-the-less, it’s nice to know that the S170i is not likely to become obsolete anytime soon.

We have made the more likely scenario of software upgrades easy to accomplish via the high speed RS–232 port on the rear panel of the S170i. Owners who register their S170i on our international web site www.NADelectronics.com will be advised of updates. Some of these may be free of charge, and some may require royalty payments depending on the type of upgrade. The advanced user will be able to perform these upgrades by downloading files from our web site via e-mail, and installing them by connecting the S170i to a PC. Alternatively the dealer from whom you purchased your S170i should be able to assist in performing these upgrades.

ABOUT THE HTR 2 LEARNING REMOTE CONTROL

Packed with your S170i is the NAD HTR 2 multi-component learning remote control. This handy device can control a total of 8 different components, such as your DVD Player, TV set, and Satellite control box, dramatically simplifying the operation of your entire Home Theatre while reducing the “coffee table clutter” of multiple remotes. The HTR 2’s buttons illuminate when any button is pressed, making operation under low light conditions easier and more enjoyable.

To operate the HTR 2, you must first select which of the 8 components or the “device” you wish to control, such as AMP, TV, DVD, etc. The remaining 46 buttons are now set to control the selected device. This can be a little confusing at first, but once understood, the power of using just one remote handset to control any device in your system makes the operation of your Home Cinema far more enjoyable.

Code tables for all NAD components are included, and other manufacturer codes are easily learned from the units’ remote to any button on the HTR 2 remote. Additionally, “macros” or strings of commands that perform all the individual steps required to “play a DVD” can easily be created and stored for instant recall. This advanced functionality makes even complex AV systems easy to operate.

Please read the HTR 2 section of this manual for complete, step-by-step instructions on using all the features of this remarkable Home Theatre Remote handset.

ABOUT THE ZR 2 SECOND ZONE REMOTE CONTROL

You will also find a small remote called the ZR 2 that has the specialized function of controlling the MultiSource or Zone 2 audio output. This allows completely independent source selection and volume in a remote area of your home. Using aftermarket (Xantech) remote sensors and the NAD Link feature of the S170i, you can control the MultiSource output from the remote location with the ZR 2.
