• The ZR 5 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 747 arrived.
Should you move or otherwise need to transport your T 747, 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 23 feet/7
meters, between the T 747’s front panel and your primary listening/viewing
position—this will ensure reliable infrared remote control communications.
The T 747 generates a modest amount of heat, but nothing that should
trouble adjacent components.
It is especially important that sucient ventilation be provided. If you are
contemplating on locating theT 747 within a cabinet or other furniture, consult
your NAD audio/video specialist for advice on providing adequate airow.
DEFAULT SOURCE SETTINGS
The following table lists the default SOURCE settings. Note that the Audio
Input settings show both digital and analog audio input. Digital input will
always take precedence over analog audio input even if both are present.
Source Audio Input Video Input
Source 1 HDMI 1/ Audio 1 IN HDMI 1
Source 2 Optical 1/ Audio 2 ComponentVideo Input 2
Source 3 Optical 2/ Audio 3 S Video 3
iPod Audio 4 S-Video 4
Source 5 Coaxial 1/Audio 5 IN Video 4
Multi 7.1 Ch. Input Component Video Input 3

designed for video signals. In general, the S-Video connection
is superior and should be used if your TV/monitor provides the
corresponding input.
3 AUDIO 1 IN/OUT, VIDEO 1 IN/OUT, S-VIDEO IN/OUT: Connect
AUDIO 1 IN/VIDEO 1 IN/S-VIDEO 1 IN to the analog audio/video output
port of a recording component such as a video cassette recorder, DVD
recorder or to an outboard audio/video processor. Connect AUDIO
1 OUT/VIDEO 1 OUT/S-VIDEO 1 OUT to the recording component’s
corresponding analog audio/video input port.
The signal present at AUDIO 1 OUT/VIDEO 1 OUT/S-VIDEO 1 OUT port
is dependent upon the current active SOURCE. There will be no output
at AUDIO 1 OUT/VIDEO 1 OUT/S-VIDEO 1 OUT when Source 1 is the
selected source input. This prevents feedback through the recording
component thereby preventing possible damage to your speakers.
4 AUDIO 2-4/VIDEO 2-4, S-VIDEO 2-4: These comprise the T 747’s
other principal inputs. Connect these S-Video, composite video, and
analog stereo audio input ports to the corresponding output ports of
source components such as DVD players and HDTV/satellite tuners.
Refer also to“AUDIO 1 IN/OUT, VIDEO 1 IN/OUT, S-VIDEO 1 IN/OUT”
discussion above.

ENGLISH FRANÇAIS ESPAÑOL ITALIANO DEUTSCH NEDERLANDS SVENSKA РУССКИЙ

8 7.1 CH INPUT: Connect to the corresponding analog audio output
ports of multichannel source components 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 Multi (7.1 Channel Input is defaulted to this
Source setting).
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 outputs of a DVD-Video player can be connected to
these jacks, using the T 747’s own Dolby Digital and DTS decoding and
digital-analog converters via a digital connection will usually produce
superior results.
9 AUDIO PRE-OUT: The Audio PRE- OUT makes it possible to use the
T 747 as a pre-amplier to external power ampliers for some or all
channels. Connect FRONT L, FRONT R, CENTER, SURR R, SURR L, SURR-BL
and SURR-BR to the respective channel input of a power amplier or an
amplier driving the applicable speakers.
Unlike the full range channels, there is no power amplier built-into the
T 747 for a subwoofer. Connect the SUBW output to powered (“active”)
subwoofers or to power amplier channels driving a passive system.
10 FM, AM ANTENNA INPUT: Connect the supplied lead-type FM
antenna to the FM antenna input. Extend the lead. Experiment freely
with your antenna placement and orientation until you get the clearest
sound and lowest background noise. Fix the antenna in the desired
position by using thumb tacks, push pins or any suitable means.
The AM loop antenna supplied with the T 747 (or a suitable
replacement) is required for AM reception. Open the clip terminal
lever; insert the wire making sure to match the color-coded (white
and black) ends of the wire to that of the terminal and close the
lever ensuring that the lever locks the wire in place. Testing dierent
positions for the antenna may improve reception; vertical orientation
will usually produce the best results. Antenna proximity to large metal
objects (appliances, radiators) may impair reception, as will attempts to
lengthen the wire to the loop.
Refer also to the“LISTENING TO AM/FMRADIO” segment of the
“OPERATION - LISTENING TO AM/FM/XM RADIO” section.
11 XM MODULE INPUT (120V version only): Connect XM radio cable
to this socket. Follow the instructions that came with your XM radio.
With XM radio, there are more than 100 channels of music, news, sports,
comedy, talk and entertainment. You will nd that the coverage is
continent wide. The music quality is digital with many commercial-free
music channels. Refer also to the“LISTENING TO XM RADIO” segment of
the “OPERATION - LISTENING TO AM/FM/XM RADIO” section.
NOTE
The external XM radio is not supplied with your T 747.
12 UPLOAD (MCU, HDMI), RESET: The MCU, HDMI and RESET tact
switches are used for software program updates (if any) in combination
with the RS232. Your custom installer or dealer can assist you in the
proper upgrade and setup of your T747.
13 IR IN/IR OUT 1-2: These mini-jacks accept and output remote-
controlled codes in electrical format, using industry-standard protocols,
for use with“IR-repeater” and multi-room systems and related
technologies.
IR IN: This input is connected to the output of an IR (infrared) repeater
(Xantech or similar) or the IR output of another component to allow
control of the T 747 from a remote location.
IR OUT 1, IR OUT 2: Both IR OUT 1 and IR OUT 2 have dual-features –
they can act as an infrared command repeater or stand alone as IR OUT.
Connect the T 747’s IR IN to the IR OUT of ancillary equipment. Connect
also the T 747’s IR OUT 1 (or IR OUT 2) to another equipment with IR IN
feature. With this setup, the T 747 acts as an “IR-repeater” allowing the
equipment connected to the T 747’s IR IN control or command of the
other equipment linked to the T 747’s IR OUT 1 (or IR OUT 2).
As a stand alone IR OUT, connect IR OUT 1 (or IR OUT 2) to the IR IN of an
ancillary equipment. Direct the ancillary equipment’s own remote control
to the T 747’s infrared receiver to command or control the linked unit.
14 +12V TRIGGER OUT: The +12V TRIGGER OUT is used for controlling
external equipment that is equipped with a +12V trigger input. Connect
this +12V TRIGGER OUT to the other equipment’s corresponding
+12V DC input jack using a mono cable with 3.5mm male plug. The
availability of 12V at this trigger output depends upon the setting of
“Trigger Out” in the TRIGGER SETUP OSD menu. See discussion about
“TRIGGER SETUP”at the “SETUP MENU” literature for guidelines on how
to congure“Trigger Out”.
15 MP DOCK: The T 747 is equipped with a data port in the rear panel
where an optional NAD IPD (NAD IPD Dock for iPod) 1, NAD IPD 2 and
later variants can be plugged in. Connect the “MP DOCK (DATA PORT)”
jack of the T 747 to the corresponding“DATA PORT”socket of the
optional NAD IPD model. Refer also to the “LISTENING TO YOUR iPod
PLAYER” segment of the “OPERATION” section.
NOTE

the menu options.
3 Press [ENTER] to save the settings or changes done on the current
menu or sub-menu.
4 Press [ ] to exit from a particular menu,return to the previous menu, or
completely exit from the Main menu OSD.
MAIN MENU
The Main Menu contains the menu options for “Listening Mode”, “DSP
Options”, “Tone Controls”, “Zone 2 Controls”and access to “Setup Menu”.
To navigate through these Main Menu options and their sub-menu
selections, please refer to above section about “DISPLAY THE OSD”and
“NAVIGATING THE OSD AND MAKING CHANGES”.
LISTENING MODE
The T 747 oers distinct listening modes, tailored for dierent types of
recording or program material. With a two-channel (Stereo) source, the
following listening modes can be selected:
STEREO
All output is directed to the front left/right channels. Low frequencies are
directed to the subwoofer if one is present in the Speaker settings. Select
“Stereo” when you wish to listen to a stereo (or monaural) production, such
as music CD or FM broadcast, without surround enhancement. Stereo
recordings whether in PCM/digital or analog form and whether surround-
encoded or not encoded, are reproduced as recorded. Multi-channel digital
recordings (Dolby Digital and DTS) are reproduced in“Stereo Downmix”
mode via the front left/right channels only as Lt/Rt (left/right-total) signals.
DOLBY® VIRTUAL SPEAKER DVS
Dolby Virtual Speaker technology creates a highly compelling 5.1-channel
listening experience from as few as two speakers, making it an ideal
entertainment solution for locations where space for multiple-speaker
setups is limited.
Dolby Virtual Speaker models the sound of a playback system into two
dierent listening environments, based on acoustic measurements of real
rooms:
DVS Reference is a small, well-damped room appropriate for both movies
and music-only recordings.
DVS Wide is a larger room, more like a concert hall or movie theatre.
PRO LOGIC IIx
Dolby Pro Logic IIx processes both stereo and 5.1 signals into a 6.1 or 7.1
channel output. At Dolby Pro Logic IIx, you can choose PLIIx Movie or PLIIx
Music modes to tailor your listening experience to the source material.
Dolby Pro Logic IIx surround processing yields more stable imaging and
full bandwidth sound to the rear channels in Movie mode oering sound
that is more similar to Dolby Digital decoding. For two channel signals,
PLIIx Music mode also features three additional user controls - Dimension,
Center Width, and Panorama. See also section about “ADJUSTING LISTENING
MODES” below.

NEO:6
Two-channel recordings, whether stereo or surround-encoded, are
reproduced with Neo:6 surround with output to front left/right, center and
discrete left/right surround channels plus subwoofer (assuming these are
present in the current“Speaker Conguration”). The T 747 provides two DTS
NEO:6 variations - NEO:6 Cinema and NEO:6 Music. See also section about
“ADJUSTING LISTENING MODES”below.
EARS
Two-channel recordings, whether stereo or surround-encoded, are
reproduced with proprietary NAD surround processing with output signals
to the front left/right, center and discrete left/right surround channels,
plus subwoofer (assuming these are present in the current “Speaker
Conguration”). EARS does not employ the surround back speakers (if any).
EARS extracts the natural ambience present in nearly all well-produced
stereo recordings. It does not synthesize any ambience or other sonic
elements and thus remain truer to the sound of the original musical
performance than most other music-surround options.
Select EARS for listening to stereo music recordings and broadcasts.
EARS produces a subtle but highly natural and believable ambience from
nearly all “natural-acoustic” stereo recordings. Typically, these include
classical, jazz, and folk genres as well as numerous examples from others.
Its virtues include realistic, stable“front-stage”sonic imaging and spacious
but unexaggerated ambient “virtual acoustics” that remain faithful to the
original recording.
ENHANCED STEREO
All recordings are reproduced in stereo via the maximum speaker
complement congured in the current“Speaker Conguration”. Enhanced
stereo can be useful for maximum volume from all channels or for multi-
speaker background music (cocktail party) listening. For this mode, Front,
Center, Surround and Back speakers can be turned ON/OFF as desired.
7 CH STEREO 7 CHANNEL STEREO
Two-channel recordings are reproduced with output signals to the front
left/right, center, discrete left/right surround and back surround left/right
channels, plus subwoofer (assuming these are present in the current
“Speaker Conguration”). The Back Surround (left/right) output level is -3 dB
lower than the other channels.
ANALOG BYPASS
All analog signals remain in the analog domain without analog-to-digital
conversions. At Analog Bypass, the DSP circuitry is bypassed but full tone
control functions remain. “Bass management” or “Speaker Setup” are also
not in eect as these are DSP functions.
ADJUSTING LISTENING MODES
Several of the T 747’s listening modes have one or more selectable variations
and adjustable parameters that you can modify to suit your personal
preferences. At Listening Mode menu, use a combination of the [ ] and
[ ] keys to navigate and eect desired settings.
NOTE
Listening Mode parameter changes are maintained when you change
listening modes. You may also save a modied Listening Mode for easy
recall by saving it to a Preset (See “A/V PRESETS” below under Setup
Menu discussions).
PRO LOGIC IIx
PLIIx MOVIE is optimized for lm soundtracks.
PLIIx MUSIC for music recordings.
Center Width (0 to 7): Modies the “hard-centeredness”of the center
image, by gradually mixing mono center content to the Front left/right
speakers as well. A setting of 0 retains the center-channel-only default
while a setting of 7 yields a fully phantom center channel.
Dimension (-3 to +3): Adjusts front-rear emphasis of the surround
eect independently from the relative channel levels.
Panorama (On/O): Adds a “wrap around” eect by extending some
stereo content into the surround channels.
NOTE
Pro Logic IIx mode will decode as Pro Logic II mode when the “Back”
surround speakers are set to “O” from “Speaker Congurations” menu.
Refer also to the item about “SPEAKER CONFIGURATION” under the
“SPEAKER SETUP” segment of “OPERATION – USING THE T 747 – SETUP
MENU” section.
NEO:6
NEO:6 Cinema is optimized for lm soundtracks.
NEO:6 Music for music recordings.
Center Gain (0 to 0.5): Adjust for better center image in relation to the
surround sound channels.
DSP OPTIONS
DSP Options has the feature“Lip Sync Delay” whose function is to match
any delay that may occur in the picture relative to the audio.
By varying “Lip Sync Delay” from 0ms to 120ms, one can delay the audio
output in order to synchronize it with the video image.
Another DSP option is the “HDMI Audio to TV”. This option is applicable
only when using an HDMI source and a video output display that is HDMI-
capable. “HDMI Audio to TV”setting can be set to either “On”or “O”.
On: When set to “On”, audio will be available via both the HDMI-capable
TV’s own speakers and the T 747’s speakers.
O: When set to“O”, audio will only be available via the T 747’s
speakers. There will be no audio at the HDMI-capable TV’s own speakers.
