INTRODUCTION
The HTRM is like having eight virtual remote controls in one. The
eight DEVICE SELECTOR keys can be used to switch between the
different virtual remote controls or devices.
When the HTRM is idle, the name of the currently selected device
will be shown on the first line of the LCD display. Whenever a
function key is pressed, the name of that function will be shown
on the second line of the LCD display. The second line will be
cleared again shortly after releasing the function key.
THE HTRM HAS A TOTAL OF 53 KEYS:
•
Controls up to 8 Devices
•
2-line LCD display indicates selected Device (DVD) and sent
Command (PLAY) (for example)
•
Preprogrammed with all NAD remote commands including
Zone 2
•
Learning function - learns up to 360 commands from other
remotes
•
Macro operations - program up to 52 Macros with as many as
64 commands each to automate commonly used command
sequences
•
Punch Though Operations permit easy access to commonly
used functions without reselecting a device
•
Full illumination with light sensor and adjustable time out for
easy operation in low light conditions
•
Can generate IR signals with a carrier frequency up to 500 kHz
(B&O® compatible)
•
Mini USB PC Interface allows programming from a Personal
Computer
The HTRM 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 HTRM
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.
GETTING FAMILIAR WITH THE HTRM
The HTRM is divided into three main sections. The LCD display
section at the top of the handset, the DEVICE SELECTOR , and
the remaining 44 Control keys. (see Figure 1)
Eight DEVICE SELECTOR keys at the top; AMP, TV, CUSTOM,
CD, DVD, VCR, TUNER, and CABLE/SAT determine which
component the remaining 44 control keys will operate. A DEVICE
SELECTOR key determines what component the HTRM will
command; with factory defaults, it does not perform any function
on the receiver. The DEVICE SELECTOR keys are organised into
three vertical rows of 3 buttons each; the row on the left are all
Audio devices, the row in the center are all Video devices.
Both the DEVICE SELECTOR and 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 HTRM. All of the function keys on the AMP DEVICE
SELECTOR are preprogrammed to control NAD amplifiers,
preamplifiers, and receivers. (The HTRM can also command many
other NAD components, from its DVD, CD, TUNER and TV pages.)
Since HTRM Control keys can perform different functions,
depending on the selected DEVICE SELECTOR key, the HTRM
uses colour coding to indicate the function of the function 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 calculator).
