CONNECTING ANTENNAS
FM INDOOR ANTENNA
Lead-type FM Antenna
In an area with strong FM signals, the “T”-type FM antenna provided is sufficient.
Extend this into a “T” shape and connect the two wires at the base of the “T” to the provided matching
transformer, as shown. After completing connection, plug the transformer into the “FM 75Ω“ socket.
Extend the top of the “T” and fix with thumb tacks, or the like, to a wall or window frame for the best
possible reception.
(75Ω) provided
FM OUTDOOR ANTENNA
In an area where FM signals are weak, it will be necessary to use a 75-ohm unbalanced-type outdoor FM
antenna. Generally, a 3- element antenna will be sufficient; if you live in an area where the FM signals are
particularly weak, it may be necessary to use one with 5 or more elements. Connect the coaxial cable of
the antenna to the matching transformer as shown. After completing connection, plug the transformer
into the “FM 75Ω“ socket.

Insert into slit.
AM INDOOR LOOP ANTENNA
The high-performance AM loop antenna provided with the receiver is sufficient for good reception in
most areas. Connect the loop antenna’s wires to the AM antenna terminals as shown.
Place the antenna on a shelf, for example, or hang it on a window frame, etc., in the direction which gives
the best reception, as far away as possible from the entire system, speaker cords and the power cord, to
prevent unwanted noise.
AM Loop Antenna (provided)
AM OUTDOOR ANTENNA
If the AM loop antenna provided does not deliver sufficient reception (because you are too far from the
transmitter or in a concrete building, etc.), it may be necessary to use an outdoor AM antenna. Use an
insulated wire more than 15 ft (5 m) long, strip one end, and connect this to the terminal as shown.
The antenna wire should be strung outdoors or indoors near a window.
For better reception, connect the GND terminal to a reliable ground.
NOTE
Even when using an outdoor AM antenna, do not disconnect the AM loop antenna.

AVAILABLE SURROUND MODES
When you use the surround function, the sound creates a “live” atmosphere such as that experienced in
movie theaters, discos, stadiums and concert halls. This unit is provided with the following surround
modes, which can be selected using the SURROUND MODE switches.
Select the appropriate surround mode according to the program source.
•
Note that surround speakers are needed for the Dolby Pro Logic Surround mode to function, and a
center speaker is needed for the 3 Stereo mode to function.
DTS (DIGITAL THEATER SYSTEM)
Allows you to enjoy 5.1 (or 6) discrete channels of high quality digital audio from DTS program sources
bearing the
,
or “HIGH DEFINITION SURROUND” trademark such as discs, DVD and compact
discs, etc. DTS DigitalSurround delivers up to 6 channels of transparent audio (which means identical to
the original masters) and results in exceptional clarity throughout a true 360° soundfield. The term DTS is
a trademark of DTS Technology, LLC. Manufactured under license from DTS Technology, LLC.
SURROUND MODE
NOTE
The DTS program sources should be played back in the DTS mode. If not, it will sound like continuous
noise.
DOLBY DIGITAL SURROUND
The Dolby Digital surround format lets you enjoy up to 5.1 channels of digital surround sound from a
Dolby Digital program source. If you connect a DVD player equipped with an DOLBY DIGITAL output to
the
DIGITAL (Dolby Digital) / DTS / PCM DIGITAL IN jack on a surround receiver/amplifier or surround
mark, you can enjoy even better sound quality, greater spatial
processor and play DVD with the
accuracy, and improved dynamic range. This is because Dolby Digital delivers up to 5 totally discrete, full
frequency audio channels (front left and right, center, and surround left and right), plus 0.1 channel called
LFE (bass-only effects channel).
Dolby Digital is a system developed by Dolby Laboratories that transmits 5.1 channels of digital signals.
The surround system developed for movie theaters using this system is called “Dolby SR-D (Surround
Digital)”. Because each channel is completely independent, a realistic sound field with a “three-
dimensional” feel is achieved which gives the sound a sense of distance, movement and relative position,
creating a surprisingly real and powerful sense of presence.
Some Dolby Digital programs carry information that allow you to compress the dynamic range of sound
track, without degrading the sound quality, for softer sound effects when you listen late at night.
LFE: LOW FREQUENCY EXTENSION
This channel delivers separate non-directional bass signals to the subwoofer for more dynamic deep bass
sound effects.
DOLBY PRO LOGIC II
Use this mode when playing movie or music video software which carries the
DPL II mark. This mode
provides the effect of being in a movie theater or live concert house-an effect with an intensity which can
only be obtained through DOLBY PRO LOGIC II SURROUND. The main feature of DOLBY PRO LOGIC II is
that the frequency response of the surround channels is significantly improved from 7 kHz to full 20 to
20 kHz bandwidth with channel separation of 26 to 40 dB.
As a result, the effect of the front/back/ left/right movement of the sound image, as well as the sense of
fixed position in the sound image, is much clearer and more dynamic than before.
In addition, movie dialogue and other sounds which should naturally be heard from the center are output
through an independent center channel, providing a high degree of focus for dialogue.

AVAILABLE SURROUND MODES
DOLBY 3 STEREO
Front speakers receive rear (surround) speaker signals in addition to front speakers signals.
Center speaker works similarly as that of Dolby Pro Logic mode. In this way, you can enjoy playback sound
having superior sound positioning.
HALL SURROUND
When playing recordings of live music, this mode provides a feeling similar to actually being in a concert
hall. When this mode is selected, the normal program source is directed to the main speakers and a
reverberated sound is directed to the surround speakers. This mode is suited to program sources which
contain a large amount of reverberation.
STEREO
When playing movie or music with 5.1 channels through Dolby Digital or DTS, selecting STEREO MODE
will down-mix the multi-channel signal to 2-channel stereo. VFL Display will show ‘Dolby stereo’ icon or
‘DTS stereo’ icon.

SPEAKER POSITIONING
Front
Speakers
The installation positions of speakers differ according to the size, and acoustics of the listening room.
While actually listening to a program source, try various speaker positions to determine which layout
provides the best surround effect.
Center Speaker
Subwoofer
•
•
•
Front speakers Place to the front left and right of the listening position. Front speakers are required
for all surround modes.
Center speaker Place front and center. This speaker stabilizes the sound image and helps recreate
sound motion. Be sure to connect a center speaker when using the DOLBY 3 STEREO mode.
Rear speakers Place to the direct left and right. These speakers recreate sound motion and
atmosphere. Required for surround playback. For best results, do not install the rear speakers too far
behind the listening position and install them above the level of the listener’s ears. It is also effective
to direct the rear speakers towards a wall or ceiling to further disperse the sound.
Subwoofer Reproduces powerful deep bass sounds.

SPEAKER CONFIGURATION
•
Refer to OSD speaker configuration. (page 22)
It is important to perform speaker configuration prior to using the decoder. This allows the unit to sense
the available speakers and automatically select decoding modes. It is possible to receive multi-channel
surround sound without a center speaker, but for best results with Dolby Pro Logic and Dolby Digital
decoding, at least 5 speakers (Left, Center, Right, Left Rear and Right Rear) should be used.
CENTER SPEAKER MODE
•
•
LARGE: Use this mode with a large center speaker. The center channel’s output is full range.
SMALL: Use this mode with a small center speaker. Bass frequencies below 90 Hz are output from the
speaker selected by LFE/Bass Out.
•
NONE: Use this mode if there is no center speaker. The center channel signal will be divided between
the main L and R speakers.
REAR (SURROUND) SPEAKER MODE
•
•
•
LARGE: The mode to choose if a large speaker is used or if a subwoofer is connected in parallel. The
rear channels full range is output as is.
SMALL: The mode to choose if small speakers are used. Frequencies of 90Hz and below are output to
the speaker selected by LFE/Bass Out.
NONE: Use this mode if there are no rear speakers.
FRONT SPEAKER MODE
•
•
LARGE: The mode to choose if a large speaker are installed. Front channels full range is output as is.
SMALL: The mode to choose compact speakers. Frequencies of 90Hz and below are output to the
speaker selected by LFE/Bass Out.

SURROUND EFFECTS
DELAY TIME
Refer to OSD surround mode. (page 22)
•
When you adjust the delay time in the DOLBY DIGITAL mode, an additional 15 ms is automatically added
to the surround channels in the DOLBY PRO LOGIC mode. The current setting is shown on the display.
DELAY TIME SETTING
Adjustable Range
DOLBY DIGITAL Mode:
0 ~ 15 ms in 1 ms step (S-Delay)
0 ~ 5 ms in 1 ms step (C-Delay)
DOLBY PRO LOGIC II MOVIE & EMULATION Mode:
10 ~ 25 ms in 1 ms step (S-Delay)
DOLBY PRO LOGIC II MUSIC Mode:
0 ~ 15 ms in 1 ms step (S-Delay)
In the surround modes, the sound from the rear speakers should be delayed slightly, relative to that from
the front speakers. The optimum delay time will depend on acoustic properties, whether the walls and
furnishings reflect or absorb sound, etc.
It is recommended that you try different delay times to obtain the best effect. The delay is digitally
synthesized, for the highest sound quality with minimum noise and distortion. The delay time can be set
independently for each surround mode using the DELAY TIME buttons, with the current setting shown in
the display.

•
•
•
Always select the DEVICE SELECTOR first to select the device to be operated. There are eight DEVICE
buttons on the HTR L76.
Even if the remote control unit is operated within the effective range, remote control operation may
be impossible if there are any obstacles between the unit and the remote control.
If the remote control unit is operated near other appliances which generate infrared rays, or if other
remote control devices using infrared rays are used near the unit, it may operate incorrectly.
Conversely, the other appliances may also operate incorrectly.

PRECAUTIONS CONCERNING BATTERIES
•
•
•
•
Be sure to insert the batteries with correct positive “+” and negative “-” polarities.
Use batteries of the same type. Never use different types of batteries together.
Rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries can be used. Refer to the precautions on their labels.
When the remote control unit is not to be used for a long time (more than a month), remove the
batteries from the remote control unit to prevent them from leaking. If they leak, wipe away the liquid
inside the battery compartment and replace the batteries with new ones.

Contains pre-programmed library of NAD remote codes for the L76
The NAD HTR L76 is ready to operate the L76 receiver right out of the box, but it is really eight remotes
in one. Each of the 8 Device Selector keys at the top of the handset can call up a new "page" of remote
control codes to be transmitted by the remaining 44 keys. You may "teach" codes from any infrared
remote- controlled component, regardless of brand, to any or all of these. Obviously, the most logical
system is that you teach the codes from your DVD player to the "DVD" Device Selector "page," your
television's codes to the "TV" "page," and so on, but there is no required scheme: You may load any
commands to any key on any page (see "Learning Codes From Other Remotes,").
REPLACE BATTERY COVER BY
ALIGNING AND INSERTING THE TWO
TABS INTO THE HOLES.
The HTR L76 is already preprogrammed with a full complement of commands for the L76 receiver on its
"AMP", "TUNER" and "DVD" Device Selector page, and as well as with library commands to operate
most NAD-brand DVD, CD, or TAPE components on the corresponding Device Selector "pages." These
default commands are permanent: Even if you teach the HTR L76 new commands to take their place, the
underlying library commands remain in place and can easily be recalled should you add an NAD
component to your system later (see "Delete Mode,").
PRESS BATTERY COVER INTO PLACE
UNTIL IT 'CLICKS' CLOSED
NOTE
For use with the L76, it should not be necessary to re-program any keys on the HTR L76 "AMP" and
L56 "DVD" page. However, in order for the HTR L76 to control your specific NAD-brand components
you may need to load one or more different code-libraries; see "Loading Code Libraries,".

REMOTE CONTROL UNIT
CONTROLLING THE L76
The HTR L76 is divided into two main sections. Eight Device Selector keys at the top-"AMP", "DVD,"
"TV," and so on-set the handset's remaining keys to a "page" of commands to control a particular
component. A Device Select key determines only what component the HTR L76 will command; it does
not perform any function on the receiver. All of the remaining 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 L76.
However, the HTR L76 is already preprogrammed to operate the L76. All of the function keys on the
"AMP," "TUNER," and "DVD" Device Selector "page" perform L76 functions. (The HTR L76 can also
command many other NAD components, from its "CD" and "TAPE" pages.)
It is important to note that certain HTR L76 keys perform different functions depending on the selected
Device Selector "page." The colour of the Device Selector key-labelling corresponds to the labelling of the
function keys. Most centrally, the orange "AMP" Device Selector "page" corresponds to the orange
input-select labelling adjacent to the numeric keys: When the HTR L76's "AMP" Device Selector page is
active; these keys select the receiver inputs. Similarly, the red "DVD" Device Selector "page" corresponds
to several red labels, the green "TV" page to green labels, and so on.
LEARNING CODES FROM OTHER REMOTES
Begin by positioning the HTR L76 "nose-to-nose" with the source remote so the two devices' infrared
windows are about 2 inches apart.
•
Enter Learning Mode: On the HTR L76, simultaneously press-and-hold for 3 seconds both a Device
Selector key and the "OPEN/CLOSE" key (just below the "DISP" key), until the Learn LED at
the centre of the HTR L76 turns steady green.
•
•
Press the HTR L76's function key you wish to teach a command; the Learn LED will turn amber.
Press-and-hold the function key on the source remote: The HTR L76's Learn LED will flicker amber
for a second or two, then turn solid green. The command is learned.
•
Press the HTR L76's Device Selector key again to exit the learning mode. If the Learn LED does not
flicker amber you may need to vary the distance between the remotes. If the Learn LED turns red
rather than green, that particular command of that source remote command could not be learned.
CANCEL OPERATION
You can cancel configuring a key, by pressing the active Device Selector key before the learn process is
complete; the Learn LED will turn red.
Example: Learning "VCR Pause"
Position the HTR L76 and your VCR player's remote as described above.
•
On the HTR L76, simultaneously press-and-hold "VCR" and

PUNCH-THROUGH
The HTR L76'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 L76
when the DVD Device Selector page is active
NOTE
The HTR L76's "VOL" and "MUTE" keys are preprogrammed as "punched-through" for all Device
Select pages: "VOL" will operate the L76's master-volume regardless of the currently selected device.
The "SURR." "CENTER," and "SUB" Channel Volume controls similarly are pre-programmed as
punched-through. 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.
Example: Punch-through the from the DVD "page" to the AMP "SURR MODE" key:
•
On the HTR L76, simultaneously press-and-hold "DVD" and
turns steady green.
(OPEN/CLOSE); the Learn LED
•
•
•
Press "SURR MODE"; the Learn LED turns amber.
Press "AMP" twice; the Learn LED turns green.
Press "DVD" again to exit the learning mode.
COPY A COMMAND FROM ANOTHER KEY
You may copy a command from any HTR L76 key to any other. To copy a 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 on another "page." The status LED
will turn green; press the Device Selector key again to exit Learning Mode.
Example: Copy the Pause command from the DVD page to the AMP
key:
•
On the HTR L76, simultaneously press-and-hold "AMP" and
turns steady green.

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.
MACRO COMMANDS
A "macro" command is a series of two or more remote codes issued automatically from a single key press.
You might use a macro to automate a simple command sequence, such as, "Turn on the DVD player and
then press 'play." Alternatively, you might compose an elaborate macro to power up an entire system,
select a source, choose a SURROUND MODE, and begin playback-again, all from a single key press. The
HTR L76 can store one macro on each of its function keys (these exclude the Device Selector keys).
NOTE
Macros are independent of the currently selected device.

RECORDING MACROS
To record a macro, simultaneously press-and-hold for 3 seconds both the "MACRO" key and the HTR L76
function key to which you wish to assign the macro, until the status LED turns green. The macro button
will also light up. Press the sequence of function keys to be recorded into the macro, being sure to first
press the requisite Device Selector key for each function (you may switch devices while recording the
macro as many times as necessary), allowing you to create macro containing commands from more than
one Device Selector "page." When you have finished entering the desired command sequence, press
"MACRO" again to store the macro; the Learn LED and "MACRO" key illumination will turn off.
NOTE
Each macro can store a maximum of 64 command steps. If you exceed this number, the macro will
be stored automatically after the 64th command is added.
Example: Record a Macro to the "0" key to Turn on the L76, Select the DVD Input, and
Commence Playback:
•
•
•
On the HTR L76, simultaneously press-and-hold "MACRO" and "0" (numeric zero); the Learn LED
turns steady green.
Press "AMP"; press "ON"; press "1" (orange "DVD"); press "DVD"; press "play" (the Learn LED
blinks as each step is added).
Press "MACRO" again to exit the macro-record mode.
To clear a macro, perform the above steps without entering any functions.
EXECUTING MACROS
To execute a macro, press and release "MACRO"; its key illumination lights for 5 seconds. While it remains
lit, press an HTR L76 key to which a macro has previously been stored. The corresponding macro will run;
as each step executes, its "parent" Device Selector's key flashes lights briefly; when execution is finished,
the "MACRO" key illumination goes out. Pressing any other HTR L76 key while a macro is executing will
abort the macro. Remember that you must hold the HTR L76 so that its infrared emitter can activate the
target components.
NOTE
When a macro executes, a 1 second delay is automatically inserted between its commands. If you
need more than a 1-second delay between particular commands-for example, to permit a component
to power up completely-you can record "empty" steps into the macro by changing Device Selector
"pages" without entering actual command functions.
KEY-ILLUMINATION TIMEOUT
The HTR L76's key-illumination can be set to remain lit for 0-9 seconds. The default value is 5 seconds. To
set the illumination timeout, simultaneously press-and-hold for 3 seconds both the HTR L76's "DISP" and
the "0-9" key, with the digit corresponding to the desired timeout duration; the Learn LED will flash twice
to confirm the new setting. When set to zero, the illumination will not turn on at all.
NOTE
Key illumination is the biggest drain on the HTR L76's batteries. A short key-illumination timeout will
extend battery life appreciably; turning it off altogether (set it to 0 seconds) will lengthen it still further.

FACTORY RESET
The HTR L76 can be reset to its factory state, deleting all learned commands, copied and punched through
keys, macros, and other set-up information, reverting all keys to their pre-programmed library commands.
To perform a factory reset simultaneously press-and-hold for 10 seconds the HTR L76's "ON" and "RTN"
keys; the Learn LED will start to flash green. Release "ON" and "RTN" before the second flash is complete;
the Learn LED will turn red, indicate the remote has been reset.
NOTE
You must release "ON" and "RTN" before the second flash goes out, otherwise the unit will not reset;
should this occur, repeat the full procedure.
DELETE MODE
The HTR L76 can store learned, copied, and "default library" commands on any single key. (The default
library commands are the pre-programmed NAD codes, such as the native L76 commands on the "AMP"
"page.") You can delete commands by layers back "down" to the default library command on any key,
removing learned commands, punched-through functions, and copied keys.
NOTE
The default library commands cannot be deleted, so you need not worry that using Delete Mode
might cause irreparable changes.
To enter Delete Mode, simultaneously press-and-hold for 3 seconds both the desired key's Device Selector
key and the "RTN" key, until the Learn LED turns green. Press the function key whose command you wish
to delete; the Learn LED flashes; the number of times indicates which type of function has become active
see the table below. Press the active Device Selector key again to exit Delete Mode.
NOTE
You may delete multiple function-key commands on the same Device Selector "page," but to delete
from more than one Device Selector page you must exit Delete Mode and then re-enter it on the
required page.

LOADING CODE-LIBRARIES
The HTR L76 can store a different library of default NAD codes for each of its Device Selector "pages." If
the original default library does not control your NAD CD player, tape deck, DVD player, or other
component, follow the procedure below to change the code-library. Begin by ensuring that the
component you wish the HTR L76 to control is plugged in and powered-up ("on," not merely in standby).
To enter the HTR L76's Library Mode, simultaneously press-and-hold for 3 seconds both the desired Device
Selector key and the "PROGRAM" key, until the Learn LED turns green. While keeping the HTR L76
pointed toward the component, enter the first appropriate three-digit code-library number from the table
below. If the component turns off, press "ENTER" to accept that code-library number and exit the Library
Mode. If the component does not turn off, enter the next three-digit code-library number from the table.
When you enter the correct number the component will turn off; press "ENTER" to accept that code-
library number and exit the Library Mode.

SEARCH MODE
If none of the codes from the table turn off the component, and if you are quite sure you have followed
the above procedure completely and carefully, you may want to try the "search" method as follows:
Enter Library Mode by simultaneously pressing-and-holding for 3 seconds both the desired Device Selector
key and the "PROGRAM" key, until the Learn LED turns green. Now press-and-hold the HTR L76's
or
key; the remote will step through all the available codes at a rate of approximately 1 per second.
When the component turns off, immediately release the cursor key; press "ENTER" to accept that code-
library and exit the Library Mode. Try a few commands; should you prove to have stepped past the needed
code-library, re-enter the Library Mode and use the cursor key to step back to it.
NOTE
It is possible that search mode will find code-libraries that operate, at least partially, some other-brand
(non-NAD) components. You may certainly exploit such capabilities as you find them. However, since we
can only ensure the completeness or accuracy of NAD code-libraries, we cannot support the HTR L76's
operation with other-brand components.

CHECKING CODE-LIBRARY NUMBER
You can check the current code-library on any Device Selector key as follows. Enter Library Mode by
simultaneously pressing-and-holding for 3 seconds both the desired component's Device Selector key and
the "PROGRAM" key, until the Learn LED turns green. Press the "DISP" key; the HTR L76 indicates the
current code-library by flashing its "TAPE," "VCR," and "MACRO" keys.
For example, to indicate code-library #501 the HTR L76 will flash "TAPE" 5 times, pause, and then flash
"MACRO" once. You might wish to make a note of your components' code-library numbers.
