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.
