User manual NAD HTR2

[. . . ] The Device Selector keys are organized into two vertical rows of 4 buttons each; the row on the left are all Audio devices, the row on the right are all Video devices. The control keys are function keys that can "learn" control codes from virtually any infrared remote controller, allowing you to teach the codes of your equipment, regardless of brand, to the HTR 2. All of the Control keys on the [AMP] Device Selector are preprogrammed to control NAD amps, preamps, and receivers. (The HTR 2 can also command many other NAD components, from its [DVD, ] [CD, ] [TUNER, ] and [TAPE] pages. [. . . ] CURSOR UP / CURSOR DOWN The Cursor Up / Cursor Down keys can be used to cycle through the available tables. the HTR 2 will transmit a test (Power Off) command after each press of the Cursor key. Holding down one of the Cursor keys will cycle through all the available library tables at the rate of two per second, allowing you to quickly find the correct table from the available tables. If you press a key that is not used for anything else in library mode, that command will be transmitted. Any subsequent test commands resulting from changing tables will then use that command which you last pressed. This can be helpful with some devices that do not have a standby mode, in which case the code searches do not work. For example some CD players may not have a power off command, and you may want to use Play as your test command instead. ENTER Press the enter key when in the Library Mode will make the currently selected table become active and will exit the Library Mode. NOTE Making a table active will deactivate any currently learned commands and active Punch-through functions. Deactivated learned commands can be restored again (without having to relearn them) as described in the Copy Mode section of this manual. DISPLAY The Display key can be used to determine the reference number for the table you have currently selected. After pressing the Display key, the table number will be displayed by flashing the Tape, VCR, and Macro keys, corresponding to the first, second, and third digits of the command table. For example: if the table number is 103, then the TAPE key would flash once, followed by the Macro key flashing three times. PUNCH-THROUGH The HTR 2's "punch-through" function allows you to retain a function key from one Device Select "page" on another, so that, for example, the AMP [SURR MODE] function might still control the T 752 when the DVD Device Selector page is active NOTE The HTR 2's [VOL] and [MUTE] keys are pre-programmed as "punchedthrough" for all Device Select pages (except TV): [VOL] and [MUTE] will operate the NAD's master-volume regardless of the currently selected device. To set a punch through, after entering the Learning Mode, and pressing the desired key to be punched-through, simply press the device key twice of the device to punch through to. The status LED will turn green; press the Device Selector key again to exit Learning Mode. COPY A COMMAND FROM ANOTHER KEY You may copy a command from any HTR 2 key to any other. To copy a Control key function, after entering the Learning Mode, and pressing the desired key to be copied to, simply press the device key from which you wish to copy, having first pressed its Device Selector key if it resides under another Device key. The status LED will turn green; press the Device Selector key again to exit Learning Mode. Example: Copy the pause command from the CD key to the AMP [ || ] key: · NOTE The copy and punch-through functions are similar. However, if you copy a command and then subsequently delete, or over-write the original (source-key) command, the copied-to key's command remains unchanged. If you punch-through to a command and then delete or over-write the original key, the punched-through functions also change accordingly. [. . . ] For example, if the [TITLE] key is not used for your CD player, you could record that command into the macro to insert a delay. KEY-ILLUMINATION TIME-OUT The HTR 2's key-illumination can be set to remain lit for 0-9 seconds. To set the illumination time-out, simultaneously press-and-hold for 3 seconds both the HTR 2's [DISP] and the [0-9] key, with the digit corresponding to the desired time-out duration; the Learn LED will flash twice to confirm the new setting. nOTE Key illumination is the biggest drain on the HTR 2's batteries.
