OPERATION USING THE T 777 – MAIN MENU ENGLISH ABOUT THE ON-SCREEN DISPLAY (OSD) LISTENING MODE The T 777 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.
OPERATION 7.1 Speaker System Front (left & right), Center, Surround (left & right), Back Surround, Subwoofer Front (left & right), Center, Surround (left & right) and Back Surround (left and right) and subwoofer DTS NEO: 6 Two-channel recordings, whether stereo or surround-encoded, are reproduced with Neo: 6 surround with output to front left/right, center and discrete left/right surround channels plus subwoofer (assuming these are present in the current ‘Speaker Configuration’).
OPERATION USING THE T 777 – MAIN MENU ENGLISH DSP OPTIONS FRANÇAIS The following signal processing parameters can be setup under the DSP (Digital Signal Processing) Options menu. ESPAÑOL LIP SYNC DELAY DSP Options has the feature ‘Lip Sync Delay’ whose function is to match any delay that may occur in the picture relative to the audio. Audyssey Dynamic EQ selects the correct frequency response and surround volume levels moment-by-moment.
OPERATION ENGLISH USING THE T 777 – MAIN MENU ZONE CONTROLS The T 777 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 USING THE T 777 – SETUP MENU ENGLISH SETUP MENU FRANÇAIS The Setup Menu allows one to customize the operation of the T 777 to the ancillary equipment used in one’s specific AV system. Unless your system exactly matches the factory defaults as shown in the accompanying Quick Start Guide, you will need to use the setup menu to configure the inputs of the T 777.
OPERATION 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. ENGLISH USING THE T 777 – SETUP MENU The new Name will be shown in the VFD as well as on the OSD.
OPERATION USING THE T 777 – SETUP MENU ENGLISH DIGITAL AUDIO To take advantage of the T 777’s high performance surround and digital audio circuitry, it is advisable that its sets of Digital Audio input are selected. There are three types of Digital Audio input for the T 777. These are HDMI, Optical and Coaxial digital input. A fourth option is “Off” whereby no incoming digital audio signal is selected by the particular Source.
OPERATION ENGLISH USING THE T 777 – SETUP MENU AUDYSSEY AUTO CALIBRATION 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 777) is selected.
OPERATION USING THE T 777 – SETUP MENU ENGLISH AUDYSSEY MultEQ XT ROOM ACOUSTICS CORRECTION Sound reflecting from room boundaries can disturb the spatial illusion of surround sound, and can also distort the tonal balance of the system. Professional Acoustical Engineers often add wall treatments and even move walls and relocate speakers to improve system performance, but for the average Home Theatre, this is either too expensive or just not a practical solution.
OPERATION ENGLISH USING THE T 777 – SETUP MENU ITALIANO ESPAÑOL FRANÇAIS 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. It is recommended that you take full advantage of the T 777’s Audyssey Auto Calibration feature for your speaker setup.
OPERATION USING THE T 777 – SETUP MENU ENGLISH SPEAKER CONFIGURATION FRANÇAIS ESPAÑOL ITALIANO Every surround-sound system requires “bass-management” to direct lowfrequency content from any or all channels to the speakers best able to reproduce it. For this function to operate correctly, it is important that you correctly identify your speakers’ capabilities. We use the terms “Small” and “Large” (and “Off”) but note that physical size may be irrelevant.
OPERATION DEUTSCH NOTE If you are balancing levels “by ear”, choose one speaker—usually the center—as a reference and adjust each of the others in turn to “sound as loud” as the reference. Be sure that you remain in the primary listening position while balancing all channels. To produce the same SPL meter reading (or subjective loudness), use the remote’s [D/F] keys to adjust each speaker. NOTES • All speakers must be in their final locations before level-setting.
OPERATION USING THE T 777 – SETUP MENU ENGLISH ADJUSTING CHANNEL LEVELS ‘ON THE FLY’ FRANÇAIS You can make changes to the relative levels of center, surround and subwoofer outputs without having to go into the ‘Speaker Levels’ menu. This is very convenient in circumstances like increasing (or tone down) a film’s dialog level by raising (lowering) the center channel or reducing excessive deep bass (or enhance deep bass) by lowering (raising) the subwoofer level.
OPERATION ENGLISH USING THE T 777 – SETUP MENU LISTENING MODE SETUP The T 777 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 777 has various listening mode options and is mostly configurable.
OPERATION USING THE T 777 – SETUP MENU ENGLISH DOLBY DIGITAL PLUS Dolby Digital Plus is the next-generation audio technology for all highdefinition programming and media. It combines the efficiency to meet future broadcast demands with the power and flexibility to realize the full audio potential expected in the upcoming high-definition era. FRANÇAIS Dolby Digital Plus delivers multi-channel audio programs of up to 7.
OPERATION 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. 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. Settings of 75%, 50%, and 25% progressively reduce dynamic range, making soft sounds comparatively louder while limiting the peak loudness of loud ones.
OPERATION USING THE T 777 – SETUP MENU ENGLISH DTS - ES™ MATRIX 6.1 In this format, the additional signals of the back channel receive a matrix encoding and are inputted into the right and left surround channels. During reproduction they are decoded to the right, left and back surround channels. 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.
