Owner's Manual

iPod SETUP
The iPod Setup menu allows you to preset the following associated
settings when iPod is the selected source.
Enabled: Select “Yes” to enable iPod as a Source or “No” to disable it.
Auto Connect: Select “Yes” to automatically enable and connect the
iPod player docked in the linked NAD iPod docking station when Source
5 (the default iPod source allocation in the T 187) is selected. Select “No”
if you do not want a docked iPod to be automatically connected.
Menu Timeout: Set the time for the OSD to revert to the “Now
Playing” display when the iPod menu has been left idle (no scrolling or
navigation being done) for the specied time out time. For the “Now
Playing” OSD to be shown, there should be a song paused or being
played before going to the iPod menu. You can set the “Menu Timeout”
between the range 5s to 60s at 5s increments. If you do not want for
the menu to timeout, select “0”.
SPEAKER SETUP
After connecting all ancillary sources and other combinations, the Speaker
Setup menu will guide you on how to manage and setup your speakers in
order to achieve optimum sound acoustics in your listening environment.
The following are the Speaker Setup Menu sections.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
The T 187 is an AV Surround Sound Preamp Processor and therefore has
no speakers. The mention of “Speaker(s)” in this manual refers to the
speakers of your external amplier as interfaced with the T 187.
AUDYSSEY AUTO CALIBRATION
It has been shown that many, if not most, surround sound systems are not
accurately setup and calibrated. To be done properly, calibration requires
special knowledge and instrumentation that the average person probably
doesn’t possess.
The Audyssey Auto Setup and Calibration featured in T 187 uses a
microphone, along with sophisticated digital electronics built into your
T 187, to automatically setup and calibrate the T 187 to the exact speakers
and speaker placement of your own unique Home Theatre.
The following measurements are performed:
• Detection: Speaker conguration is detected including number of
surround speakers and whether a subwoofer and center channel is
connected.
• Size: T 187 crossover is set based on each channel’s signal handling
capability and the subwoofer crossover is automatically set.
• Level: SPL of each speaker is matched within 1dB at the microphone
position.
• Distance: is accurately set to within 1 foot (30 centimeters) of the
microphone for each speaker position.
• Polarity: the setup program will detect and notify the user if any
speakers are connected improperly. Incorrect polarity can ruin the
illusion of realism oered by surround sound.
This is a one-time set up, unless speakers are moved or changed, in which
case the calibration should be performed again.
