4. NUMERIC KEYPAD

RCVR mode - The numeric keypad can be used to directly access FM and AM Station Presets by pressing the number of the desired preset.

DVD mode - These keys can also be used to select CD tracks and enter chapter numbers in the DVD mode (consult the DVD Players instruction manual for specific details).

5. SURROUND / SETUP

SURR. Function - This button sequentially cycles through the available surround modes: STEREO PROLOGIC EARS and “wraps” back to STEREO. Each press of the button advances the T741 to the next surround mode. DOLBY DIGITAL and DTS are automatically detected on the incoming signal and selected.

SETUP Function - Accesses the DVD Players SETUP Menu. Refer to the NAD DVD player Owner’s Manual for more detailed information on this function.

6. DYNAMIC RANGE / NEXT DISC

The DYN. R button, which can be used only in combination with a Dolby Digital source, incrementally reduces the audio track’s dynamic range in four steps (100%, 75%, 50% and 25%) to allow for comfortable listening under a variety of conditions. The normal or default position is 100%.

To adjust the dynamic range, each consecutive press of the DYN. R button will reduce the value in 25% increments, as shown in the alpha- numeric display section.

NEXT DISC functions with a DVD Changer (NAD T571) to select the next disc loaded in the carousel. Each press of the button advances by one disc. Refer to the NAD DVD player Owner’s Manual for more detailed information on this function.

NOTE

Although we usually prefer to reproduce a source’s full dynamic range (the difference between very loud and very soft sounds), it may occasionally be desirable to reduce the dynamic range. For example, when playing a movie late at night, loud explosions might wake sleeping family members. Simply turning the volume control down would probably make a whisper in the next scene inaudible. The DYN. R button solves this dilemma by progressively lowering the volume of loud peaks while increasing the level of softer sounds.

7. TEST / TITLE

Pressing the TEST button, engages the Test signal generator to allow for adjustment of all speaker levels, so that each channel can be adjusted for equal loudness at your listening position. The test signal scrolls automatically with 2 second intervals from Front Left, Center, Front Right, Rear Right, Rear Left, to subwoofer in continuous cycles. If an adjustment in setting is made for one of the speakers, scrolling will stop until 2 seconds after the adjustment was made. The display panel shows which speaker is being fed with the test signal. Use the VOLUME +/- buttons to respectively increase or decrease the level for the current speaker. Press the TEST button again to leave or cancel the Test mode, any changes will be memorized automatically.

8. LEVEL / MENU

Although the T741 is correctly set-up it may some-times be desirable to make minor adjustments to suit particular software. Pressing the Level button allows for direct adjustment of individual channel levels. Press the Level button to scroll to Front Left, Center, Front Right, Rear Right, Rear Left and Subwoofer. The display panel shows which speaker can be adjusted. Use the VOLUME+/- buttons to respectively increase or decrease the level for the current speaker.

Refer also to the chapter “Setting Up the Surround Sound System” for more information.

Use the MENU in DVD mode to display the menu screen included on DVD video discs. Refer to the NAD DVD player Owner’s Manual for more detailed information on this function.

9. VOLUME / ARROW

Volume + or - respectively increases or decreases the volume setting for all speakers. The display panel will indicate the level set. The Volume control does not affect recordings made using the Tape and Video, or Tape, Video 3 and Video 4 out-puts but will affect the signal going to the Pre-amp output (Audio Pre Out) and headphones.

In DVD mode, these keys function as the UP and DOWN ARROW keys used for navigating the various graphical user interface (GUI) menus on both the DVD player and DVD Video discs. Refer to the NAD DVD player Owner’s Manual for more detailed information on this function.
