IR CHANNEL

The M12 has the capability to operate via Alternate IR channel. This is 
practically useful if you have two NAD products that can be operated by 
similar remote control commands. With alternate IR Channel, two different 
NAD products can be controlled independently in the same zone by 
setting each one to a different IR channel.

IR Channel Assignment

The M12 and the HTRM 2 remote control must be set to the same channel. 

To change the IR Channel on the HTRM 2 remote control
• 

Include a channel number before the library code. For HTRM 2, library 
code “100” is the default library table for “AMP” device.  To select this 
“AMP” library table for “IR Channel 0”, retain the library code “100”.

• 

If you want to load the “AMP” library table on “IR Channel 1”, prefix the 
library code with “1” to indicate association with “IR Channel 1”.  Load 
then the “AMP” library table using the code “1100”.

Sample setup of two NAD products on the same Zone

M12 and T 787 are both defaulted to IR Channel 0. If [OFF] button is pressed 
on the HTRM 2 remote control (or HTR 8 remote control for the T 787), both 
products will go to standby mode. Press [ON] and both products will power 
up from standby mode.

To prevent both products from simultaneously going in and out of standby 
mode along with other common commands, set each one to a different 
IR channel. In this setup, we will keep T 787 and HTR 8 remote control 
defaulted to “IR Channel 0”. As for M12, we will assign it to “IR Channel 1”; the 
same applies to HTRM 2.

Set M12 and HTRM 2 to “IR Channel 1” via the following procedure.

M12
• 

Select “1” as the IR Channel setting of the M12.

 

HTRM 2

Begin by ensuring that the M12 is powered-up (“on”, not merely in standby). 

Press and hold together the [AMP] and [A/V PSET] buttons until the 
Learn LED (located between HTRM 2’s ON and OFF buttons) turns 
steady green.  Release both buttons.

While keeping the HTRM 2 pointed towards M12, press “1”, “1”, “0” and “0” 
using HTRM 2’s numeric buttons. 

Press [OFF].  If the M12 goes to standby mode, this indicates that the 
library input is successful.

Press [ENTER] to accept the library code input and exit the Library 
mode.

With both M12 and HTRM 2 set to “IR Channel 1”, the M12 can now be 
remotely controlled independent of the T 787.

NOTE

 

Performing a Factory Reset for HTRM 2 will result to a return to the 
factory default “IR Channel 0” setting.

USB MODE

The M12 is equipped with three USB input terminals – USB Front, USB Back 
and Computer. Using either “USB Front” or “USB Back”, the M12 can play 
back MP3/WMA/FLAC files stored in external USB (Universal Serial Bus) mass 
storage devices. Use “Computer” to interface computer audio and directly 
stream 24/192 PCM content from your PC or MAC.
