THANK Y OU FOR CHOOSING NAD . The T 175 A V T uner Preamplier is a t echnologically advanced and highly capable product — yet we have in vested great eort in making it simple and easy to use.
INTRODUCTION AB O UT T HE T 175 Though the T 175 is among the most technically sophisticated Tuner Pr eamplier, we worked hard to make it one of the most musically transparent home-theater components available as well; this is what we mean by NAD’ s “Music F irst ” design philosophy .
INTRODUCTION GET TING ST ARTED WH A T’S I N THE BOX Packed with your T 175 Tuner P reamplier you will nd • An AM loop antenna • A FM ribbon-wir e antenna with balun • A removable AC cable (if y ou wish, any IEC-standard AC cable of suitable wattage may be substituted).
1 POWER BUTTON: P ress this button or the HTRC 1 remote ’ s [ON] button to switch ON the T 175. The Standby LED indicator will turn from amber to blue and illuminate the VFD. P ressing the power button again turns the unit back to standby mode. The T 175 can also be switched ON from standby mode by pressing any of the front panel buttons .

ABOUT THE ON-SCREEN DISPLA Y (OSD) The T 175 employs a simple, self-explanator y system of on-screen display “menus ” that will appear on the connected video monitor/T V . T hese are required during the setup process (and are useful in day- to-day operation), so be sure to connect the monitor/T V before proceeding with setup .
PR O LOGI C T wo -channel recordings, whether st ereo or surround- encoded, ar e reproduced with Dolby Pro Logic surround pr ocessing, yielding output to front left/right, center and discrete left/right surround channels (assuming these are present in the current “Speaker Conguration”).

MEASUREMENT IS THE FIRST STEP . The sound at each listening position (up to 8 positions) is calibrated using the same micr ophone used during the setup phase.
SPEAKER C ONFIGURA TION Every surround-sound system requires “bass-management ” to direct low-frequency content from any or all channels to the speakers best able to reproduce it. F or this function to operate correctly, it is important that you correctly identify your speakers’ capabilities.
ENHANCED BASS When the subwoofer is set t o ON and one or more speakers are set to “Large ” , Enhanced Bass is also available. Normally , with speakers set to “Large ” the subwoof er is not active.
