HTR-2

Controls up to 8 Devices
Finally, we gave prominent size and loca-
tion for the most commonly used but-
tons. Button size is large enough for
large hands, and the use of high contrast
color and back lighting makes it easy to
find the right button in any ambient light
situation. As the user becomes accus-
tomed to the operation of the HTR-2, it
should be easy to find most commands
using only tactile sensation.
Preprogrammed with all NAD
remote commands
-
-
Learning function - learns up to
352 commands
Macro operations - program up to
44 Macros with as many as 64
commands each
The HTR-2's Learning Function allows
the user to add codes from virtually any
brand of IR controller to any button loca-
tion of the HTR-2. Pressing and holding
2 buttons activates the Learning Function
and the Status LED gives immediate
feedback while learning or programming
the HTR-2.

Punch Through Operations permit
easy access to commonly used
functions without reselecting a
device

-
Back Lit (with 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)
Macro Operations allow a long sequence
of commands to be sent with the press
of only two buttons. You could, for
example, set up a Macro that would turn
ON your TV, your DVD Player, and your
AV Receiver, and select the correct input
and operating mode for each device.
Other Macros can be set to select the
users favourite cable or satellite stations,
or to view tapes or just listen to music.
You can program the HTR-2 to command
your system to do exactly what you want,
and setting up macros is simple and
straightforward.
PC Interface allows programming
from a Personal Computer
As Home Theatre systems have added
new features and capabilities, the prob-
lem of easily accessing and controlling
these systems has become a high priori-
ty. The HTR-2 represents NAD's best
thinking about what a remote control
should do and how it should do it.
Since the same keys can have multiple
functions, Punch Through Operations
allow commonly used commands like AV
Receiver volume, to be accessed when
the Cable/Satellite device is selected, for
example. In this way, you can change
channels and navigate your Cable device
and adjust AV Receiver volume without
changing the HTR-2 device selection
first, thus simplifying operation.
The challenge was formidable: we had
to find a way to store and transmit hun-
dreds of commands for radically different
types of components - often from differ-
ent manufacturers - and do this all with a
minimum number of buttons that can fit
easily in one hand!
The solution was the application of
Human Engineering combined with con-
tinual refinement of the design until we
reached what we consider to be an
"ideal" combination of flexibility and ease
of use. We started with a form that is
well balanced and fits easily and comfort-
ably in the hand - small hands, large
hands, left hands, right hands. We then
arranged buttons by function, with dis-
tinctive shapes for each type of function.
The selected Device button will always
illuminate when any command is sent to
give immediate feedback to the user that
the command is being sent and to which
device it is being sent to. Illumination is
automatically activated with the press of
any button, and the length of time the
illumination stays on is user adjustable,
and it can also be defeated.
