This allows centralized control of a complete system, and also allows some of the basic functions of other NAD components (such as a CD player) also equipped with NAD-Link to be controlled with the receiver’s remote control. To function with such other units, connect the T741’s NAD-Link Out to the NAD-Link In on the other unit.

T741 manual (GB) 22/10/01 3:56 pm Page 18 TIPS FOR SETTING DELAY Measure the distance from the listening position to the center speaker (dC) and to one of the front speakers (dFL or dFR). Subtract the center channel distance from the front L or R channel distance. For example, if the front speakers are 12 feet (3.7 m) from the listening position and the center speaker is 10 feet (3.0 m), the difference is 2 feet (0.6 m). For this example the center channel delay is set to 2 milliseconds or ms.
