Contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP) for assistance or the service bureau of your other equipment.
IDENTIFICATION OF CONTROLS REAR PANEL ENGLISH FRANÇAIS 10 AUDIO 1-6/VIDEO 1-3/S-VIDEO 1-3 t These comprise the T 187’s other sets of principal input. Connect these audio and video input ports to corresponding output ports of compatible source components such as DVD players, CD players or cable/satellite boxes. t AUDIO 5 and S-VIDEO 3 are the assigned default ports for the audio/ video output of the separately sold NAD IPD (NAD IPD Dock for iPod) 1, NAD IPD 2 and later variants.
OPERATION LISTENING MODE The T 187 employs a simple, self-explanatory system of on-screen display “menus” that will appear on the connected video monitor/TV. These are required during the setup process (and are useful in day-to-day operation), so be sure to connect the monitor/TV before proceeding with setup. Follow the guidelines about “DISPLAY THE OSD” and “NAVIGATING THE OSD AND MAKING CHANGES” to navigate through the menu options and their sub-menu selections.
OPERATION USING THE T 187 – MAIN MENU ENGLISH FRANÇAIS DOLBY PRO LOGIC IIx Dolby Pro Logic IIx processes both stereo and 5.1 signals into a 6.1 or 7.1 channel output. At Dolby Pro Logic IIx, you can choose PLIIx Movie or PLIIx Music modes to tailor your listening experience to the source material. Dolby Pro Logic IIx surround processing yields more stable imaging and full bandwidth sound to the rear channels in Movie mode offering sound that is more similar to Dolby Digital decoding.
OPERATION AUDYSSEY MultEQ Audyssey MultEQ becomes available among the DSP options only after successfully completing Audyssey Auto Calibration (accessible through the Setup Menu). Refer also to Audyssey Auto Calibration segment of the Speaker Setup under Operation – Using the T 187 – Setup Menu. Audyssey MultEQ can be set to the following levels Audyssey: Audyssey developed target curve.
OPERATION USING THE T 187 – MAIN MENU ENGLISH ZONE CONTROLS The T 187 has three Tone Control levels – Treble, Bass and Center Dialog. Bass and Treble controls only affect the low bass and high treble leaving the critical midrange frequencies free of coloration. The Center Dialog (‘Dialog’ in the VFD) control boosts the ‘presence’ of the midrange region improving intelligibility of speech.
OPERATION To access and navigate through Setup Menu and its sub-menu selections, please refer to and follow the directions stated in the sections ‘Display the OSD’ and ‘Navigating the OSD and Making Changes.’ CONTROL/HDMI SETUP The T 187 supports HDMI Control (CEC) and Audio Return Channel (ARC) functions. Both functions are possible if external devices that also support both features are interconnected to the T 187 via HDMI connection.
OPERATION USING THE T 187 – SETUP MENU ENGLISH SOURCE SETUP There are three sub-menu items under Source Setup. These are Source Setup (Normal View), Source Setup (Table View) and iPod Setup. Press [S] to move to the next character and at the same time save the changes done on the current character. The name can be as long as twelve characters. The new Name will be shown in the VFD as well as on the OSD. FRANÇAIS ANALOG AUDIO The T 187 has nine analog audio inputs including 7.1 input.
OPERATION NOTE An incoming digital signal present at the assigned digital input will always take precedence over the assigned analog audio input, even if both are present. To maintain the analog audio input for the particular Source, select “Off” at the “Digital Audio” setting of the same “Source” menu. VIDEO There are four types of video input a particular Source could be assigned. These are HDMI, Component, S-Video and Video input. Another option is “Off”.
OPERATION USING THE T 187 – SETUP MENU ENGLISH iPod SETUP FRANÇAIS ESPAÑOL ITALIANO 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.
OPERATION Audyssey MultEQ XT, using multiple measurements from the actual listening positions, and processing this information using very sophisticated digital signal processing, is able to “precondition” the signal to effectively make the walls disappear. This creates a ‘family size’ sweet spot where the sound and spatial cues are very accurately reproduced.
OPERATION USING THE T 187 – SETUP MENU ENGLISH Select the Target Curve you find to be most satisfactory by pressing the Audyssey key of the remote. The MultEQ XT corrected response can also be bypassed if you wish. FRANÇAIS ESPAÑOL ITALIANO It is recommended that you take full advantage of the T 187’s Audyssey Auto Calibration feature for your speaker setup.
OPERATION All the speakers’ low frequency content can be directly adjusted within the range 40Hz to 200Hz. NOTE The configurations set forth at ‘Speaker Setup’ are carried over whenever it is enabled during A/V Preset setting. Please see also the section ‘AV Presets’ for reference. FRANÇAIS SPEAKER LEVELS The Speaker Configuration is “global”; that is, it remains in force with all input and listening modes. However, speaker settings are part of the T 187’s Preset system.
OPERATION USING THE T 187 – SETUP MENU ENGLISH The SPL meter should be placed at the primary listening position, at approximately the height of the seated listener’s head. A tripod is helpful but with a little duct tape almost anything — a pole lamp, music-stand, or ladder-backed chair, for example — can do as well. Just be sure that no large acoustically reflective surfaces obstruct or are near the microphone element.
OPERATION Use the HTR 8’s ’SURR,’ ‘CENT’ and ‘SUB’ keys for direct-access level adjustment of these channels over a range of ±6 dB. The surround back channels (if any) adjust in lockstep with the surround channels. NOTE Level settings adjusted ‘On the Fly’ are added or subtracted to the setup levels established at the T 187 level-calibration routine as invoked by the HTR 8 ‘Test’ key. However, selecting any Preset will revert the channel levels to those stored in the preset.
OPERATION USING THE T 187 – SETUP MENU ENGLISH LISTENING MODE SETUP The T 187 features three configurable +12V DC Trigger Output that can be used to activate a component or system it is fed into. A Trigger Input is also available to turn on the applicable link it is associated to. Use a combination of [A/S/D/F] and [ENTER] keys to navigate through the Trigger Setup menu parameters. The T 187 has various listening mode options and is mostly configurable.
OPERATION It supports bit rates of up to 18 Mbps and records up to 8 full-range channels individually with 24-bit/96 kHz audio. It also features extensive metadata including dialogue normalization and dynamic range control. Supported by High-Definition Media Interface (HDMI), a single-cable digital connection is possible for high-definition audio and video.
OPERATION USING THE T 187 – SETUP MENU ENGLISH DOLBY SETUP DTS SURROUND MODES The following are further descriptions about the DTS surround modes. FRANÇAIS Under this menu, the Dolby Digital’s Dynamic Range Control can be adjusted as well as the settings for Dolby Digital Pro Logic IIx Music. ESPAÑOL Dyn Range Ctrl :You can select the effective dynamic range (subjective range from soft to loud) for playback of Dolby Digital soundtracks. For fully cinematic effect, always select 100%, the default.
OPERATION DISPLAY SETUP FRANÇAIS Since this bit-stream format is 100% compatible with conventional DTS signals, the DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 format effect can also be achieved from sources with DTS-ES 5.1 signals. Naturally, it is also possible to reproduce from a DTS 5.1 channel decoder, signals recorded in DTS-ES 6.1.
OPERATION USING THE T 187 – SETUP MENU ENGLISH A/V PRESETS SAMPLE PROCEDURE FOR SETTING UP A/V PRESETS 1 Setup first your preferred settings for the following options (access them through their respective menu page). Listening Mode: Stereo FRANÇAIS ESPAÑOL The T 187’s simple but powerfully flexible system of “A/V Presets” allows you to customize virtually every aspect of your audio-video playback, and recall them with a single key-press.
OPERATION 3 At “A/V Presets” page, set “Preset: 1” to the following conditions - use [ D/F ] to select “Yes” or “No” and press [ENTER] to confirm selection and move on to the next setting. ITALIANO While at “Save Current Setup to Preset” menu line, use [ S ] to save the above settings to Preset 1. Below OSD will be shown, affirming that the above settings are now saved to “Preset 1”.

FRANÇAIS Display Setup: Set “Line 2” to “Volume” ESPAÑOL While at “Save Current Setup to Preset” menu line, use [ S ] to save the settings above to “Preset 2”.
OPERATION In areas of poor FM reception, an exterior FM antenna can improve performance dramatically. If radio listening is important to you, consider consulting an antenna installation professional to optimize your system. The supplied AM “loop” antenna will usually provide adequate reception. However, an exterior AM antenna can be used to improve reception. Consult an antenna professional for more information.
OPERATION LISTENING TO AM/FM RADIO ENGLISH ABOUT USER NAMES A Preset number can be assigned a twelve “User Name”. The assigned “User Name” will be shown in the VFD and OSD whenever the associated Preset number is recalled. FRANÇAIS ESPAÑOL ENTERING USER NAMES A Preset number can be assigned the user name “NEWS” by the following procedure. The buttons mentioned below refer to HTR 8 buttons. The corresponding front panel buttons execute the same functions as described.

STORING PRESETS The procedure for storing XM channels is the same method as stated in the section “STORING PRESETS (AM/FM/XM/DAB)” under the “LISTENING TO AM/ FM RADIO”.
OPERATION LISTENING TO DAB RADIO ENGLISH FRANÇAIS Until now, analogue radio signals such as FM or AM have been subject to numerous kinds of interference on their way from the transmitter to your radio. These problems were caused by mountains, high-rise buildings and weather conditions. With Digital Audio Broadcast (DAB), you can now receive CD-like quality radio programs without any annoying interference and signal distortion.
OPERATION SERVICE LIST Follow the steps below to select through the DAB service stations found. 1 At DAB mode, press [ A/S ] to step through the list of available stations as shown in the lower display line of the VFD. DAB $CBC R2 P-% $LH 1464.944M% ||||||||||| 2 Press [ENTER] to select the desired station. STATION ORDER Use “Station Order” to sort the sequence of the listed stations. There are three orders - Alphanumeric, Ensemble and Active.
OPERATION LISTENING TO DAB RADIO ENGLISH RESET INFORMATION SETTINGS The “Reset” option allows the connected (and separately sold) NAD DAB Adaptor to be reset to its factory default settings. 1 While listening to a DAB broadcast, press [TUNER MODE] button and [ A/S ] to select “Reset”. 2 Press [ENTER]. “Reset? No” will be shown in the lower line of the VFD. Press [ A/S ] to switch to “Reset? Yes” option.
OPERATION CONNECTING THE OPTIONAL NAD IPD AND iPod PLAYER TO THE T 187 Make sure that all the devices are unplugged before making the connections. 1 Connect the NAD IPD’s DATA PORT to the corresponding “MP DOCK” data port of the T 187. 2 Connect also the NAD IPD’s S-Video out and audio out to the T 187 AUDIO 5/S-VIDEO 3 input (the default iPod source allocation in the T 187). 3 Dock your iPod player into the NAD IPD.
OPERATION LISTENING TO YOUR iPod PLAYER ENGLISH FRANÇAIS ESPAÑOL NAD IPD 2 TO VIEW VIDEOS OR PHOTOS LOADED IN YOUR iPod The NAD IPD 2 has its own remote control - the DR 1. When using the DR 1 to command your iPod player docked in the NAD IPD 2, you have to refer to your iPod player’s own display screen to make full use of its feature; there is no OSD at this condition. However, any time you press HTR 8’s [ S ] button or [ s ] on the front panel, the “Menu Select” OSD comes up.
OPERATION ENGLISH USING THE HTR 8 REMOTE CONTROL The NAD HTR 8 is ready to operate the T 187 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 keys. You may “teach” codes from any infrared-remote controlled component, regardless of brand, to any or all of these.
OPERATION USING THE HTR 8 REMOTE CONTROL ENGLISH LEARNING CODES FROM OTHER REMOTES FRANÇAIS Begin by positioning the HTR 8 “nose-to-nose” with the source remote so the two devices’ infrared windows are about 2 inches apart. t Enter Learning Mode: On the HTR 8, simultaneously press-and-hold for 3 seconds both a Device Selector key and the [RES] key until the Learn LED (located between HTR 8’s ON and OFF buttons) turns steady green.
OPERATION 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. 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.
OPERATION USING THE HTR 8 REMOTE CONTROL ENGLISH FRANÇAIS ESPAÑOL LOADING CODE-LIBRARIES SEARCH MODE The HTR 8 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.
OPERATION Device Key + RTN Key Macro Record Macro Key + Function Key Library Mode Device Key + [A/V PSET] Key Back Light Timeout DISP Key + Digit Key Factory Reset See “Factory Reset” above FRANÇAIS Device Key + RES Key Delete Mode ITALIANO 1 ON/OFF: Switch ON/OFF the Zone feature. 2 SOURCE [ d/f ]: Select the active input of the NAD T 187 that will be sent out to the corresponding rear panel ZONE 2 output port. 3 MUTE: Temporarily switch OFF or restore the Zone Volume level.
OPERATION USING IR CHANNEL ENGLISH The T 187 has the capability to operate via Alternate IR channel. This is practically useful if you have two NAD products that can be operated by similar remote control commands. With alternate IR Channel, two different NAD products can be controlled independently in the same zone by setting each one to a different IR channel. IR CHANNEL ASSIGNMENT FRANÇAIS The T 187 and the HTR 8 remote control must be set to the same channel.
