USING THE HTR 2 REMOTE CONTROL

OVERVIEW OF THE HTR 2

• Controls up to 8 devices.
• 44 function keys.
• Learns up to 352 commands.
• Records up to 44 macros with a maximum of 64 commands each.
• Configurable punch-through function.
• Key illumination with programmable time-out.
• Contains pre-programmed library of NAD remote codes.
The NAD HTR 2 is ready to operate NAD components 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. The HTR 2 can "learn" codes from virtually any
infrared-remote-controlled component, regardless of brand, to any or all of these Device Selector keys.
When setting up the HTR 2 to operate your entire Home Theatre system, the most logical approach is to
teach the codes from your DVD player to the [DVD] Device Selector key, your television's codes to the [TV]
key, 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," below).
The HTR 2 is already preprogrammed with a full complement of NAD commands on its [AMP] Device
Selector page, and with library commands to operate most NAD DVD, CD, TUNER, or TAPE components
on the corresponding Device Selector keys. These default commands are permanent: Even if you teach
the HTR 2 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," below).
GETTING FAMILIAR WITH THE HTR 2
The HTR 2 is divided into two main sections. The Device Selector section at the top of the handset, and
the remaining 44 Control keys.
Eight Device Selector keys at the top-[AMP], [DVD,] [TV,] and so on - determine which component the
remaining 44 Control keys will operate. A Device Select key determines only what component the HTR 2
will command; it does not perform any function on the receiver. 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.
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.)
Since HTR 2 Control keys can perform different functions, depending on the selected Device Selector key,
the HTR 2 uses colour coding to indicate the function of the Control keys when different Device keys are
chosen. Thus, the colour of the Device Selector key-labelling corresponds to the labelling of the function
keys (similar to a scientific calculator). For example, the red-orange [AMP] Device Selector key label
corresponds to the red-orange input-select labelling adjacent to the numeric keys: When the HTR 2's
[AMP] Device Selector page is active, these keys select the amp or receiver inputs. Similarly, the purple
[DVD] Device Selector key label corresponds to several purple labels, the green [TV] Device key to green
labels, and so on.
