T 765 Surround Sound A/V Receiver

player or any other yet to be developed surround decoder, making sure the T765 does not become obsolete anytime soon. Preamp outputs allow the addition of more powerful amplifier channels.

The T765 includes a data port specifically designed to control an iPod with the addition of NAD’s optional IPD-1 Dock. This allows the iPod’s meta-data to be displayed on the OSD and be controlled using the NAD remote control. Audio and Video connections and iPod recharging are also featured in the iPod Dock.

All input circuitry is contained on 5 easily removable plug in cards. Although this construction technique is more costly to implement, it offers several important advantages. 1) Speed to market for new technology. 2) Upgrade for older units 3) Simple field service.

Luxurious Simplicity

All the capability and flexibility in the world is quite useless if the receiver becomes too complicated to be operated by every member of the family. NAD has taken special measures to make operation of the T765 as logical and straightforward as possible.

Initial system setup is best accomplished using your television monitor and the clear and simple On Screen Display (OSD), which can be configured to also give status updates as settings are changed in everyday use. Once the T765 is informed of your specific system set-up, all settings are stored in a non-volatile memory making this a one time task. The informative front panel display indicates complete information about the source being listened to or watched including selected surround mode and volume setting. The front panel display can be easily customized by renaming inputs and even determining what information you prefer to have displayed and when to display it.

Automatic Audio Setup is available using the supplied calibrated microphone. Simply place the microphone in the listening position and select Audyssey auto-calibration and the system automatically detects which speaker is connected, chooses the ideal crossover point to the subwoofer, checks speaker phasing, and adjusts the levels and delays. These adjustments are made to a level of

accuracy that it would be difficult to duplicate by ear alone.

The tuner includes 40 favorite station presets in any mix of AM or FM stations. FM stations that don’t automatically display their name in addition to their broadcast frequency (RDS function), can instead be given a custom name. We also include a “Digital Broadcast Ready” socket on the rear panel for adding an outboard XM module. All the control software is included, just plug in the module and start enjoying the clear sound and expansive content selection available with Digital Radio Broadcast.

Five independent “Audio Video Custom Presets” can store unique listening modes, DSP options, tone, speakers and display settings for instant recall, making it easy to custom tailor your system for different types of program material. Encoded surround modes like Dolby Digital and DTS are automatically selected if the program is so encoded. The T765 also remembers your last used settings when switched in and out of Standby mode.

The included HTR 3 remote handset is itself an engineering tour-de- force. Able to control up to 8 different components, the device key illuminates to clearly shows what device is being controlled. It has illuminated buttons for easy operation in low light environments, and the length of time the illumination is on can easily be adjusted. Remote commands for products not already included in the HTR 3’s memory can be easily “taught” to the HTR 3. And the HTR 3’s Macro function allows up to 64 individual commands to be triggered by the pressing just two keys. With this feature, all of the commands required for watching a DVD, for example, are executed automatically by the HTR 3’s Macro function.

Summary

The T765 offers remarkable performance and flexibility in a compact and simple to operate package. This multi-channel powerhouse will bring your favorite music and movies to life in your home entertainment room with an absolute minimum of fuss and a maximum of pure enjoyment.
