introduction • • • • E.A.R.S. AND DIGITAL SURROUND A key element of the T 775’s unique musical aptitude is NAD’s proprietary Enhanced Ambience Recovery System (EARS). In sharp contrast to many “ambience-synthesis” music-surround modes, EARS exploits the T 775’s substantial DSP power to route the ambient content that is “encrypted” in virtually all natural-acoustic recordings to the appropriate main, center and surround speakers, without resorting to artificially generated reflections or regeneration.
introduction GETTING STARTED ENGLISH WHAT’S IN THE BOX FRANÇAIS Packed with your T 775 A/V Receiver you will find • An AM loop antenna • A FM ribbon-wire antenna with balun • A removable AC cable (if you wish, any IEC-standard AC cable of suitable wattage may be substituted). • The HTR 3 remote control with 4 (four) AAA batteries. • The ZR 4 zone remote control with 3V CR2025 battery. • This owner’s manual.

The duration of calibration may take some time depending on the number of speakers as well as the number of measuring points.
operation USING THE T 775 – SETUP MENU ENGLISH Speaker Configuration FRANÇAIS Every surround-sound system requires “bass-management” to direct low-frequency content from any or all channels to the speakers best able to reproduce it. For this function to operate correctly, it is important that you correctly identify your speakers’ capabilities. We use the terms “Small” and “Large” (and “Off”) but note that physical size may be irrelevant.
operation ENGLISH USING THE T 775 – SETUP MENU Enhanced Bass When the subwoofer is set to ON and one or more speakers are set to “Large”, Enhanced Bass is also available.
