INTRODUCTION
ABOUT THE T 175
Though the T 175 is among the most technically sophisticated A/V
Tuner Preamplier, we worked hard to make it one of the most musically
transparent home-theater components available as well; this is what we
mean by NAD’s “Music First” design philosophy. Here are just few examples:
• High-performance components used throughout the A/V Tuner
Preamplier’s analog audio circuits maximize quality from all sources,
including multi-channel analog sources such as DVD-Audio and SACD.
• Audio pre-out jacks make potential expansion as exible as possible..
• Zone pre-amp and video feed with assignable 12 V DC trigger control.
• An RS-232 port for advanced zone control and software update through
a Windows® compatible PC.
• Gold-surfaced connectors are employed throughout to ensure
maximum signal integrity.
E.A.R.S. AND DIGITAL SURROUND
A key element of the T 175’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 175’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 articially generated reections
or regeneration. EARS’natural ambience yields a subtle but exceptionally
eective surround mode that naturally enhances the spatial presentation in
a fashion suitable for serious music listening.
Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music and DTS Neo: 6 Music modes can also create
enjoyable experience from 2-channel sources.
On the digital side, the T 175 combines extraordinarily high-speed DSP
processing employing one of the most advanced high-speed DSP“engines”
available, with fully 24-bit, 192 kHz-sampling-capable D/A converters for
all channels. A single, high-precision master clock synchronizes all digital
circuits to eliminate the timing errors (“jitter”) that otherwise compromise
sonics. The result is legitimately state-of-the-art surround decoding from
Dolby Digital and DTS sources, and 6.1/7.1-channel reproduction, with
genuinely superior sound quality in all modes.
EASE OF USE
Despite the eort NAD has invested in the T 175 A/V Tuner Preamplier’s
sonic performance, we expended no less in making it powerfully easy to
use. Its design is uniquely simple for so sophisticated a component, and
the HTRC 1 universal remote control is equally understandable, as are the
T 175’s own front-panel and on-screen displays. Its simple yet powerful
system of “presets” permits you to ne-tune your listening setup for dierent
conditions, sources, or listeners, and to recall these multiple parameters
with a single key press.
INTEGRATION
The T 175 oers extensive, exible system-integration options through its
congurable DC trigger outputs and input, and its standard-protocol IR
communications links. The DC trigger outputs can be assigned to either
Local and/or Zone locations.
ZONE
The T 175 is equipped with three congurable Zones that make full use of
video and pre-amp level audio outputs. The ZR 4 remote control will allow
you complete access to Zone 2 applications including access to volume
On/O and all sources inputs. Zone 3 and Zone 4 could be congured
and managed at the appropriate Zone OSD menu using the front panel
navigations keys as well as the corresponding keys on the HTRC 1 remote
control.
RS 232
Flexible system conguration is possible with the RS-232 interface and
NAD’s proprietary Windows® compatible software. We are also certied
partners with AMX and Crestron and fully support these external devices.
This interface allows complete remote control of the T 175 from any remote
location via the PC. Complete remote control functionality is available to
the user by interface software. See your NAD audio specialist for further
information.
UPGRADABILITY
The T 175 permits exible system growth via individually accessible pre-out
and main-in jacks for all channels. We have made the more likely scenario
of software upgrades easy to accomplish via the high speed RS-232 port
on the rear panel of the T 175. Owners who register their T 175 on our
international web site www.NADelectronics.com will be advised of updates.
Some of these may be free of charge, and some may require royalty
payments depending on the type of upgrade. The advanced user will be
able to perform these upgrades by downloading les from our web site, via
e-mail and installing them by connecting the T 175 to a PC. Alternatively
the dealer from whom you purchased your T 175 should be able to assist in
performing these upgrades.
ABOUT THE HTRC 1 SYSTEM REMOTE CONTROL
Packed with your T 175 is the NAD HTRC 1 remote control, a full-system
remote especially designed for easy use and understanding. Be sure to read
the section “Using the HTRC 1 Remote Control”, to familiarize yourself with
the remote’s layout and operations before proceeding to setup your T 175.
You may opt to use your HTRC 1 as your primary way to command your
entire A-V system. The HTRC 1 can be employed to operate additional NAD
or other-brand components such as a DVD/CD player, television, satellite/
HDTV tuner, VCR, or virtually anything else that operates via standard
infrared remote.

WHAT’S IN THE BOX
Packed with your T 175 you will nd
• 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 HTRC 1 remote control with 4 (four) AA batteries
• The ZR 4 zone remote control with 3V CR2025 battery
• This owner’s manual
SAVE THE PACKAGING
Please save the box and all of the packaging in which your T 175 arrived. Should you move or
otherwise need to transport your T 175, this is by far the safest container in which to do so. We’ve seen
too many otherwise perfect components damaged in transit for lack of a proper shipping carton, so
please: Save that box!
CHOOSING A LOCATION
Choose a location that is well ventilated (with at least several inches to both sides and behind), and
that will provide a clear line of sight, within 25 feet/8 meters, between the T 175’s front panel and your
primary listening/viewing position—this will ensure reliable infrared remote control communications.
The T 175 generates a modest amount of heat, but nothing that should trouble adjacent components.
It is perfectly possible to stack the T 175 on top of other components, but the reverse usually should
be avoided.

the Setup Menu, otherwise headphone bass response will be restricted.
Plugging in headphones will automatically switch the T 175 to Stereo,
Stereo Downmix or Analog Bypass modes.
17 FRONT INPUT jacks : Use these convenience jacks for occasional
sources such as a camcorder, tape player, video game console, any
analog audio or optical digital audio and composite or S-Video video
sources. If your source has a single audio out jack only or is marked
‘mono output’ , plug this into the T 175’s Front ‘R (Mono)’input. On the
other hand, if your source has two output jacks indicative of stereo
output, insert both jacks into the T 175’s corresponding Front ‘L’ and ‘R
(Mono)’ input to achieve stereo output as well.
18 MP/MIC input : Connect your MP3’s standard stereo phone jack to
this input. This is the same input where Audyssey microphone jack is
connected (See also discussion about ‘Audyssey Auto Calibration’).

1 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 (disc copy
protected formats only allow analog signal transfer). 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 Source 7 (External 7.1 audio input is defaulted to
this Source).
There is no bass-management or other processing (other than
master-volume control) available to this 7.1 channel input. While the
multi-channel audio output of a DVD-Video player can be connected to
these jacks, using the T 175’s own Dolby Digital and DTS decoding and
digital-analog converters via a digital connection will usually produce
superior results.
2 AUDIO PRE-OUT: Connect FRONT L, FRONT R, CENTER, SURR R, SURR
L, SURR-BL and SURR-BR to the corresponding channel input of a power
amplier or ampliers driving the applicable speakers.
Unlike the full range channels, there is no power amplier built-into the
T 175 for a subwoofer. Connect the SUBW 1 or SUBW 2 output or both
to powered (“active”) subwoofers or to power amplier channels driving
a passive system.
3 MP DOCK: The T 175 is equipped with a data port in the rear panel
where an optional NAD IPD (NAD IPD Dock for iPod), NAD IPD 2 and
later variants can be plugged in. Connect the ‘MP DOCK (DATA PORT)’
jack of the T 175 to the corresponding ‘DATA PORT’ socket of the
optional NAD IPD model. Refer also to the item about“LISTENING TO
YOUR iPod PLAYER” under the “USING THE T 175 - AM/FM/DB/iPod”
segment of the “OPERATION”section.
NOTE
The external “NAD IPD Dock for iPod” (NAD IPD) model is not supplied
with your T 175.
4 FM, AM ANTENNA INPUT: The supplied wire“dipole”FM antenna will
connect to the FM connector using the supplied “balun”adapter. It will
usually work best when mounted on a vertical surface such as a wall,
with arms fully outstretched forming a horizontal“T” perpendicular to
the origin point of the signal.
Connect the supplied AM loop antenna to these terminals. If an external
AM antenna is used, make connections to the AM and GND terminals in
accordance with the instructions supplied with the antenna.
