9 AUTO TRIGGER SWITCH: When in the AUTO position, forces the T 163 to turn on only when a trigger signal is present at the trigger input. When
in the OFF position, the trigger inputs are disabled.
10 AC POWER INLET: Connect to the supplied IEC-standard removable AC power cord or a compatible cord.
11 MS OUT (MULTISOURCE OUT): Connect this pre-amp and composite video output to other zones using high-quality patch cables to reduce noise
pickup over long distance runs.
12 IR: These mini-jacks accept and output remote-control codes in electrical format, using industry-standard protocols, for use with “IR-repeater”
and multi-room systems and related technologies. Consult your NAD audio specialist for more information.
13 DVD, SAT, VCR, VIDEO 4, VIDEO 5: These comprise the T 163’s principal inputs. Connect S-Video, composite video, and analog stereo audio from
source components such as DVD players and HDTV/satellite tuners (see "Input Setup," below). VCR and VIDEO 4 may be used with recording
components such as videocassette or DVD-recorders; connect the T 163 S-Video/composite video OUT jacks to these components’ record-inputs.
(Note that VCR/VIDEO 4 may freely be used for play-only components, in which case their OUT jacks would remain unconnected.)
14 PRE-OUTS/SUBWOOFER OUT: Connect the T 163’s pre-amplifiers to external power amplifiers for some or all channels.
Connect the SW output 1, 2 or both to powered (“active”) subwoofers (or to power amplifier channels driving a passive system).
SURR-BACK-R jack will supply the same signal from the surround-back Left channel if the T 163 is so configured (see “Speaker Setup”). Either
one or both channels are available mono or stereo as per “Speaker Setup”. Connect to one or two channels of an appropriate external power
amplifier or other amplified component to furnish amplification for one or two surround back speakers. Your NAD audio specialist will be happy
to advise you.
15 TAPE IN/OUT: Connect the T 163’s TAPE OUT jacks to the stereo analog audio inputs, of an audio recording component such as a cassette deck
or CD recorder, or of an outboard analog audio processor such as a stereo equalizer; connect the tuner preamplifier’s TAPE IN jacks to the
component’s corresponding outputs. The signals present at the TAPE IN jacks can be heard by selecting the front panel TAPE MONITOR button,
or the HTR 2’s [Tape] (zero) key.
NOTE: The signal present at the TAPE OUT jacks is determined by the source last selected via the front panel Video or Audio keys (or the HTR
2’s input-select keys).
NOTE: Digital input signals are not available at the analog TAPE OUT jacks; they are only available at the DIGITAL OUT jacks.
16 DISC: Connect the analog stereo audio output from a second CD player or other line-level audio source to this input.
NOTE: Connecting a phonograph turntable to the T 163 requires an outboard magnetic phono-preamp component such as the NAD PP2; you
cannot connect turntable directly to the DISC inputs.
17 7.1 CH. INPUT: Connect to the corresponding analog audio outputs of a multichannel source component such as a DVD-Audio or multichannel-
SACD player, or external multichannel decoder. Typically, these sources will produce 5.1-channel output, in which case the SURROUND BACK jacks
are left unconnected. The signals present at these jacks may be heard by selecting the front-panel EXT. 7.1 key or the HTR 2’s [Ext 7.1/5.1]
button. See “Selecting Sources," below.
NOTE: There is no bass-management or other processing (other than master-volume control) available to this 7.1 CH. INPUT. While the multi-
channel audio outputs of a DVD-Video player can be connected to these jacks, using the T 163’s own Dolby Digital and DTS decoding and digital-
analog converters, via a digital connection, will usually produce superior results.
