INTRODUCTION

ABOUT THE T 765

Though the T 765 is among the most technically sophisticated A/V Receiver, 
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:

• 

The T 765 uses NAD’s proprietary Power Drive™ amplifier technology 
for all channels to preserve accurate, linear reproduction regardless 
of the loudspeaker. This uniquely efficient power-supply topology 
provides the real-world benefits of high dynamic power that remains 
uncompromised by low-impedance speakers. The result is dynamic, 
detailed, “un-receiver-like” sound in stereo and multi-channel modes 
alike. NAD’s exclusive Soft Clipping™ circuitry further enhances sound 
quality and dynamic potential.

• 

High-performance components used throughout the A/V Receiver’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 flexible as possible..

• 

A second set of speaker terminals (Speakers B) for remote listening.

• 

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 765’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 765’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. EARS’ natural ambience yields a subtle but exceptionally 
effective 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 765 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 effort NAD has invested in the T 765 A/V Receiver’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 
HTR 3 universal remote control is equally understandable, as are the T 765’s 
own front-panel and on-screen displays. Its simple yet powerful system 
of “presets” permits you to fine-tune your listening setup for different 
conditions, sources, or listeners, and to recall these multiple parameters 
with a single key press.

INTEGRATION

The T 765 A/V Receiver offers extensive, flexible system-integration options 
through its configurable 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 765 A/V Receiver is equipped with three configurable 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/Off and all sources inputs. Zone 3 and Zone 4 could 
be configured and managed at the appropriate Zone OSD menu using the 
front panel navigations keys as well as the corresponding keys on the HTR 3 
remote control.

RS 232

Flexible system configuration is possible with the RS-232 interface and 
NAD’s proprietary Windows® compatible software. We are also certified 
partners with AMX and Crestron and fully support these external devices.

This interface allows complete remote control of the T 765 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 765 A/V Receiver permits flexible 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 765. Owners who register 
their T 765 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 files from our 
web site, via e-mail and installing them by connecting the T 765 to a PC. 
Alternatively the dealer from whom you purchased your T 765 should be 
able to assist in performing these upgrades. 

ABOUT THE HTR 3 SYSTEM REMOTE CONTROL

Packed with your T 765 is the NAD HTR 3 remote control, a full-system 
remote especially designed for easy use and understanding. Be sure to read 
the section “Using the HTR 3 Remote Control”, to familiarize yourself with 
the remote’s layout and operations before proceeding to setup your A/V 
Receiver. You may opt to use your HTR 3 as your primary way to command 
your entire A-V system. The HTR 3 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
