IR INPUT
Th
is input is connected to an output of an infrared receiver. This
This remote control input is usually used in custom installations. Ask
your dealer or custom isnstaller for further details.
FRONT PANEL CONTROLS (FIGURE 2)
1. POWER
Press the POWER button to switch the receiver to STANDBY mode. Press
any input selector button on the front panel or the POWER button (No. 1)
on the Remote Control to switch the receiver fully on. The display will
light up indicating which input was selected; the Stand-by indicator will
extinguish. Pressing the POWER switch again will turn the unit OFF
completely. The NAD T74
2
receiver uses a memory back-up system to
store surround sound trim settings and Preset station information for the
tuner section. This information is retained for several weeks, even the
unit is switched off completely or unplugged.
REMOTE CONTROL
Power button -
Press this button to switch the unit from operating to the
Stand-by mode and vice versa. Press this button again to switch to unit on
from Stand-by; the last selected source will be indicated in the display.
NOTE
Stand-by mode is indicated by the Stand-by indicator (No. 2) just over
the green Power button on the front panel (No. 1).
In Stand-by mode the T74
2
uses very little power. However, it is
recommended that you switch the unit totally off if it is not going to be
used for more than a couple of days. Switch off completely by pressing
the Power button on the front panel (No. 1), all lights will extinguish.
2. STAND-BY INDICATOR
This green LED will light up when the receiver is switched On, but in
Stand-by mode. Refer to section 1 in this chapter for more information.
3. DISPLAY
The T74
2
’s FM tuner supports RDS PS and RDS RT. With stations carrying
RDS information, “RDS” will light up in the display panel, and the
station’s RDS name is automatically displayed (RDS PS).
Some radio stations, which support RDS, also transmit additional
information, known as Radio Text (RDS RT). To view this information, use
the Display button. With stations carrying RDS information, the DISPLAY
button scrolls between three different display modes, each successive
push of the button engages the next one of the three modes:
a)
In the default mode, the station’s RDS name is displayed, Program
Service (PS; normally the station’s calling letters, BBC R3, for instance).
b)
From the default mode, press the button once to view Radio Text (RT).
This can be additional information such as the presenter’s or
program’s name; what song is playing, etc. This text scrolls
continuously over the 8 alphanumeric display segments. It takes a
few seconds for the tuner to gather the RT information, so
immediately after tuning to a station and selecting to view RT the
display will indicate “NO TEXT” and default to the station name. If no
RT information is available, the display will also show “NO TEXT” for
three seconds before reverting to the default mode.
c)
Press the button from the display RT mode to display the station
frequency. Press again to return to the default mode (a).
When the DISPLAY button is pressed when tuned to a non-RDS station
the display will show “NO NAME” for three seconds before reverting to
the default display.
11. AC POWER CORD
After you have completed all connections to the amplifier, plug the AC
line cord into a “live” wall socket.
12. 12 VOLT TRIGGER OUT
The 12V trigger output allows to remotely switch on or off ancillary
equipment such as a CD player, power amplifier, etc. which are also
equipped with a 12V trigger input. This can also be an AC outlet power
strip equipped with a 12V trigger input. The 12V trigger output is
activated whenever the T742 is switched to normal operational mode
from Stand-by or Off.
For switching Stand-by/Power On of the external component, connect
the 12V trigger output of the T742 to the remote component’s DC input
jack. The plug required is a standard 3.5mm Mini-Jack plug (“mono”):
The tip is the live or + connection, the shaft of the jack is the 12V trigger
- or ground connection.
NOTES
• Check the specifications of the trigger input terminal on the other
component to ensure it is compatible with the T74
2
’s 12V trigger
output.
•
The T74
2
’s 12V trigger output voltage is 12V DC. The total maximum
current must not exceed 200mA. Typically, NAD 12V input triggers
draw less then 10mA of current.
• NAD components equipped with 12V input triggers are fully
compatible with the T74
2
’s 12V trigger output.
• Before making any connections to any 12V trigger input or output,
make sure all components are disconnected from the AC mains.
Failure to observe the above may result in damage to the T742 or any
ancillary components attached to it. If in doubt over the connections,
installation and operation of the 12V trigger output consult your NAD
dealer.
