NAD PowerDrive Amplifier Technology: NAD's exclusive PowerDrive amplifier technology combines a high current design with dynamic power peformance to bring out the very best in your speaker system. PowerDrive's high stability and low impedance drive capability results in less distortion when powering your loudspeakers for a clearer and more dynamic sound when listesning to your movie and music soundtracks. PowerDrive does all this by adding a second high-voltage rail to the receiver's well regulated high-current power supply in order to deliver nearly double the continuous power output on a short term dynamic power basis. The end result is greater depth, better clarity, and more detail when listening to your loudspeakers and high-resolution audio files.

Full Disclosure Power (FDP): NAD uses Full Disclosure Power (FDP), the most demanding criterion for performance measurement. FDP specifies distortion under the most extreme conditions of low impedance loads and frequency extremes, rather than the simple and easy 1kHz @ 8 ohms test with only one or two channels driven quoted by many other manufacturers. NAD uses this stricter performance criterion because it more closely matches the demands of real music and real loudspeakers. Maintaining specified distortion with all channels driven at 8 ohm and at 20-20kHz is a much more difficult achievement. The benefit of NAD's Full Disclosure Power is the total elimination of audible distortion at any listening level. This provides pinpoint imaging and realism with music and movies alike.

• FDP Output Rating: 60 watts with all seven channels driven @ 20-20kHz and into 8 ohms with 0.05% THD
• Stereo Output Rating: 110 watts with only 2 channels driven @ 20-20kHz and into 8 ohms with 0.08% THD

Amplifier Assignment: For flexibility, the T 758 V3i's amplifier's Surround Back amplifier is configurable so you can use these amp channels to power Surround Back speakers, Height 2 speakers, Zone 2 speakers, or bi-amp the front speakers.

• 7.1ch: The AV receiver's amplifier channels can be configured as Front Left/Right, Center, Surround Left/Right, and Surround Back Left/Right for Dolby TrueHD & DTS-HD 7.1ch playback.
• 5.1.2ch: This amplifier configuration provides Dolby Atmos 5.1.2ch playback with Front Left/Right, Center, Surround Left/Right, and Height Left/Right speakers.
• Bi-Amp: You can configure the amplifier for front bi-amp operation to achieve a higher-quality 2-channel sound by connecting the receiver's front and surround back channels to your main front speakers (if compatible). Receiver will be limited to 5.1ch surround.
• Zone 2: The receiver's amplifier channels can be configured as Front Left/Right, Center, Surround Left/Right, and Zone 2 for Dolby Digital & DTS 5.1ch playback in the main zone and 2ch PCM playback in the second zone.

Dirac Live Room Correction: Dirac Live is a patented room correction technology that not only corrects the frequency response, but also the impulse response of a room's loudspeakers. Dirac Live provides true impulse response correction over a large listening area, improving the depth, positioning and distinction of individual voices and instruments. Using multiple measurement and mixed phase correction, Dirac Live helps create a natural, realistic and transparent sound with tighter bass and reduced room modes, in a way previously not possible.

• How It Works: Whether you use the mobile app (for Apple iOS 10.2+ and Android OS 5.0+) or the desktop software (for Windows 7/8/10 and Mac OSX 10.7+), Dirac Live offers a clear improvement of your audio system by analyzing your speakers and room acoustics with the help of the included measurement microphone that plugs into the NAD receiver, your computer, or mobile device. Dirac Live then uses this data to build an acoustic model of the listening environment and detects the deficiencies. After careful analysis, Dirac Live corrects for both the timing and amplitude aspects of the colorations in sound to deliver a uniquely pristine listening experience.
• What It Does: Dirac Live provides Mixed-Phase Room Correction technology with Impulse Response Correction, improved staging (localization of sound events), better clarity and intelligibility in music and vocals, a deeper and tighter bass free of resonances throughout the entire listening area, and the ability to upload and choose the custom NAD target response

Notes:

• The NAD T 758 V3i comes with the free Dirac Live LE (Lite) version with the ability to calculate corrections in frequencies between 20Hz and 500Hz. You can upgrade to the Dirac Live Full version for $99 and gain the ability to calculate corrections of the full frequency range between 20Hz and 20,000Hz.
• For both Dirac Live versions, the NAD receiver and your computer or mobile device will need to be connected to the same network with an internet connection. You'll also need to create a Dirac Live account.

Compatible Digital Audio Formats: The NAD T 758 V3i AV receiver supports the following stereo and multichannel audio formats through its HDMI (1-3) jacks and optical (1-2)/coax (1-2) digital inputs.

Immersive Surround Sound: The NAD T 758 V3i goes beyond regular surround with support for the latest immersive surround sound formats, including Dolby Atmos & DTS:X. The NAD AV receiver also uses Dolby Surround & DTS Neural:X to enhance 2ch, 5.1ch, and 7.1ch decoding formats for a matrixed three-dimensional soundfield. The T 758 V3i can support 5.1.2ch, 5.1.4ch*, 7.1.2ch*, and 7.1.4*ch Dolby Atmos & DTS:X speaker systems. *A 5.1.4ch, 7.1.2ch or 7.1.4ch configuration will require an external power amplifier(s).

• Dolby Atmos: Dolby Atmos surround sound technology dispenses with channel-based coding in favor of more advanced object-based coding, giving the soundtrack designer the ability to precisely place sounds anywhere in the 3-dimensional space. With Dolby Atmos, sound moves around you in three-dimensional space, so you feel like you're inside the action.
• Dolby Surround: Dolby Surround offers an enhanced cinema experience to your existing stereo and Dolby Digital movie soundtracks using a Dolby Atmos speaker setup. Dolby Surround enhances audio definition by improving the spatial dimension and overall audio definition of movie soundtracks. It does this by using four distinct surround zones that provide greater control over the exact placement of each detail in a movie sound track, so audio can be matched more accurately to the video on screen; this means more depth and greater realism for your movies. As a result, individual sounds are clearer and more distinct. It also improves the surround sound experience across the entire theater by widening the listening "sweet spot".
• DTS:X: DTS:X features object-based audio coding that lets the soundtrack designer place sonic elements anywhere in the 3D acoustic soundspace, and provides for overhead speakers to deliver a stunning surround sound experience.
• DTS Neural:X: DTS Neural:X is an advanced spatial remapping technology from DTS, which provides a fully immersive output for all types of source content; this includes DTS bitstreams and non-encoded (PCM) data. DTS Neural:X delivers a thrilling sense of immersive sound to your DTS:X speaker layout regardless of the original source format.

Listening Modes: The T 758 V3i offers distinct listening modes, tailored for different types of recording or program material. With a two-channel (Stereo) source, the following listening modes can be selected.

• Stereo: All output is directed to the front left/right channels. Low frequencies are directed to the subwoofer if one is present in the Speaker settings. Select 'Stereo' when you wish to listen to a stereo (or monaural) production, such as music CD or FM broadcast, without surround enhancement. Stereo recordings whether in PCM/digital or analog form and whether surround-encoded or not encoded, are reproduced as recorded. Multi-channel digital recordings (Dolby Digital and DTS) are reproduced in "Stereo Downmix" mode via the front left/right channels.
• Enhanced Stereo: All recordings are reproduced in stereo via the maximum speaker complement. Enhanced stereo can be useful for maximum volume from all channels or for multi-speaker background music (cocktail party) listening. For this mode, Front, Center, Surround and Back speakers can be turned ON/OFF as desired.
• EARS: Two-channel recordings, whether stereo or surround-encoded, are reproduced with proprietary NAD surround processing with signals output to the front left/right, center and discrete left/right surround channels, plus subwoofer. EARS extracts the natural ambience present in nearly all well-produced stereo recordings. It does not synthesize any ambience or other sonic elements and thus remains truer to the sound of the original musical performance than most other music-surround options. EARS offers realistic, stable "front-stage" sonic imaging and spacious but unexaggerated ambient "virtual acoustics" that remain faithful to the original recording. Select EARS for listening to stereo music recordings and broadcasts. EARS produces a subtle but highly natural and believable ambience from nearly all "natural-acoustic" stereo recordings. Typically, these include classical, jazz, and folk genre.
• Analog Bypass: All analog signals remain in the analog domain without analog-to-digital conversions. At Analog Bypass, the DSP circuitry is bypassed but full tone control functions remain. 'Bass management' or Speaker settings are also not in effect as these are DSP functions.
• Direct Mode: Analog or digital sources are automatically played in their native formats. All the source's audio channels are reproduced directly. This mode recreates the original sound most faithfully, thereby producing outstandingly high-quality audio.

Audio Enhancements: The NAD T 758 V3i allows you to tailor the AV receiver's Bass & Treble, as well as Center Dialog to your preference.

• Enhanced Bass: When the subwoofer is set to 'On' and your front speakers set to 'Large', the option 'Enhanced Bass' becomes available. Normally, with speakers set to 'Large' the subwoofer is not active. The Enhanced Bass option allows full range operation of the speakers with the additional bass contribution of the subwoofer. This feature is particularly useful when one wants to experience maximum bass output. Please note that due to acoustic cancellation effects, the bass response may be uneven when using this setting.
• Tone Controls: The T 758 V3i has three Tone Control levels; Treble, Bass, 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 control boosts the 'presence' of the midrange region improving intelligibility of speech. Tone Defeat gives one the choice of varying or completely bypassing the tone control section of the T 758 V3i.

Dolby & DTS Setup: The T 758 V3i offers the following audio settings specifically relating to Dolby Digital & DTS soundtracks.

• Dynamic Range Control: You can select the effective dynamic range (subjective range from soft to loud) for playback of Dolby Digital & DTS 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.
• Center Spread: The Center image is spread into the Left and Right speakers. It is designed to complement musical content or to spread the dialogue of a Dolby Digital soundtrack. It can be turned On or Off.
• Dialog Control: Dialog control is more than just adjusting center channel level as the center channel may also contain other sound elements that get raised or lowered along with the dialog.

Audio Return Channel (ARC): This feature of the AV receiver's HDMI 2.0b output allows audio to be sent from your compatible TV to the receiver through the same HDMI cable already being used to send audio and video to your TV. This eliminates the need for extra cables connected to your television. Support audio formats via ARC include Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, DTS, DTS HD, and PCM

Note: The NAD T 758 V3i does not support the latest eARC protocol, so it can not handle Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, or DTS HD Master Audio through its HDMI ARC output.

Analog & Digital Audio Inputs: The NAD T 758 V3i is outfitted with both analog & digital audio inputs; including a 7.1ch input, line-level stereo RCA inputs, plus Optical and Coaxial digital inputs.

• 4K/60Hz: The T 758 V3i supports up to 4K (3840x2160 pixels) video @ 60 frames per second on all of its HDMI 2.0b inputs and output (pass-through only with no upscaling). It will also pass a 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, or 1080p video signals via HDMI.
• HDCP 2.2: All of the receiver's HDMI 2.0b inputs/output support HDCP 2.2, which fully complies with the latest copyright protection standard for 4K video transmission.
• 4:4:4 Color Subsampling: All of the receiver's HDMI 2.0b inputs/output support RGB, YCbCr 4:4:4, YCbCr 4:2:2, and YCbCr 4:2:0 color subsampling (@ 60Hz or 50Hz). With 4:4:4 color subsampling, luminance (brightness) and chroma (color) are sampled at the same rate; resulting in an RGB color palette as big as the video sampling rate for a video image with more colors, plus greater color accuracy and detail.

Note: The NAD T 758 V3i does not contain any composite or component analog video inputs and outputs.

High Dynamic Range (HDR): High Dynamic Range (HDR) provides enhanced picture quality by simultaneously enabling greater detail for both the dark and bright parts of an image. HDR reproduces a greater dynamic range of luminosity or brightness levels, creating greater contrast. This increased contrast reveals the subtle nuances of the image, from detailed blacks and shadows to the brightest whites and colors, plus greater depth. The receiver supports HDR 10 & Dolby Vision.

• HDR10: HDR10 is an open standard and currently the most popular HDR format on the market. It uses static metadata at the start of a movie to tell the receiver and your TV that the video content is encoded using HDR.
• Dolby Vision: Unlike HDR 10 which contains static metadata, Dolby Vision uses dynamic metadata technology which sets individual color and brightness levels for each and every scene. Dolby works directly with filmmakers at major Hollywood studios to create superior HDR video masters of blockbuster movies.

HDMI Pass-through: When the T 758 V3i is in standby mode (power off), the HDMI source signals will continuously pass through the receiver to the TV. The HDMI Control (CEC) feature must be enabled in order for HDMI Pass-through to work.

Lip Sync Delay: Video signals may take longer to process than audio signals, depending on the connected video equipment. The audio signal can be delayed up to 120ms to synchronize with the video signal.

NAD AV Remote App: Download the free NAD AV Remote App from the Apple Apps Store to control the T 758 V3i from your Apple iOS 8.1+ device (iPhone or iPad). Control, adjust and select basic functions - including power, volume, source, and listening mode for all zones with the touchscreen of your compatible iOS device.

Note: The NAD AV Remote App is currently not compatible with Android.

Dual IR Remotes: The T 758 V3i includes an IR remote (AVR 4) for wireless operation of the AV receiver and other NAD AV components. The included Zone 2 IR remote (ZR 7) controls the Zone 2 features of the T 758 V3i; it allows control of the Zone 2 volume and source selection, as well as other applicable functions. The ZR 7 remote will work from a different room using an IR sensor and hub, or the IR sensor of a compatible NAD component in the second zone (either must be wired back to the location of the T 758 V3i).

HDMI CEC (Consumer Electronic Control): Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) is a set of commands that utilizes HDMI's two-way communication to allow for single remote control of any CEC-enabled devices connected with HDMI. A CEC command will trigger the necessary commands over HDMI for an entire system to auto-configure itself to respond to the command.

• Power: The T 758 V3i will automatically go to standby mode if it receives a CEC standby command. On the other hand, if the T 758 V3i receives a CEC power up command, the T 758 V3i will correspondingly switch ON from standby mode.
• Source Switch: The T 758 V3i will automatically switch sources if another CEC device requests a Source change. For example, if Play is pressed on a BD Player with CEC, the T 758 V3i and TV with CEC will automatically switch to their respective input connections; the T 758 V3i switching to the HDMI input where the BD Player is connected while the TV will switch to its input where the T 758 V3i's HDMI Monitor Out is connected.
• Audio System: The T 758 V3i will broadcast a CEC message indicating it is an active audio system. A CEC compatible TV will usually mute its audio output when this happens. When this option is enabled, the T 758 V3i will also respond to CEC volume and mute commands. For example, a CEC TV may forward the volume commands from its remote to the T 758 V3i.

Custom Remote Integration: The NAD T 758 V3i is outfitted with a variety of custom remote integration inputs & outputs that allow you to automatically switch amplifiers on and off, as well as connection to more advanced automated control systems.

• +12V Trigger Outputt: The +12V trigger output (3.5mm) lets you turn on/off another component that features a +12V trigger input (3.5mm) along with the T 758 V3i.
• IR Input/Outputs: There is an IR input (3.5mm), used to control this unit using an optional infrared repeater or the IR output of another component. There are also two IR outputs (3.5mm) used to control other compatible components.
• RS-232 Port: The rear-panel RS-232 port allows connection to a compatible PC or external whole-house control system from companies (such as AMX or Crestron).

Convenience Features

MDC (Modular Design Construction): Only NAD offers Modular Design Construction (MDC), the company's proven method for preventing premature obsolescence. MDC ends the frustration of having to replace your entire AV surround sound receiver just to keep pace with the ever-changing world of AV electronics. NAD's most important recent innovation, MDC battles technology obsolescence by allowing you to upgrade the T 758 V3i with new connectivity and features as new technology becomes available. MDC places all the input circuitry on easily removable plug-in cards; your investment is protected because a single card, rather than the entire receiver, can be replaced when a new format is introduced.

• The T 758 V3i comes with NAD's VM 130i HDMI 4K video MDC module and AM 230 Hi-Res audio MDC module pre-installed.
• The NAD T 758 V3i does not come equipped with an empty MDC slot. However, the pre-installed VM 130i video module and AM 230 audio module can be replaced with newer MDC modules (sold separately) when they become available in the future.

OSD (On-Screen Display): In addition to the unit's front-panel display, the T 758 V3i employs a simple, self-explanatory on-screen display menus system which will appear on your connected television. The OSD is available through the unit's HDMI output only.

AV Presets: Unique features like AV presets and a completely flexible input setup allow unprecedented flexibility and ease of use. The T 758 V3i offers five independent AV presets that store speaker level and tone control settings for instant recall, making it easy to custom tailor your system for different types of program material. The T 758 V3i also remembers your last used settings when switched in and out of Standby mode

Auto Standby & Sleep Timer: The T 758 V3i can be setup to automatically go into standby mode if there is no audio signal or user interface interaction within 30 minutes. The Sleep Timer will switch the T 758 V3i to Standby mode automatically after a preset number of minutes (15 to 90 minutes in 15 minute increments).

Switched AC Outlet: The NAD T 758 V3i features a rear-panel switched two-prong AC outlet to connect another audio/video component. The total draw of the device connected to this outlet must not exceed 100 watts.

Protection Circuits: This AV receiver utilizes a combination of fuse and electronic nonintrusive protection. Each channel is fully protected against excess temperature, DC fault, and, loudspeaker short-circuit.

Firmware & Software Upgrades: Future firmware & software updates can be done over a wired or wireless network connection connection. Some firmware & software updates may require that they be downloaded from the NAD website onto a USB thumbdrive and then inserted into the NAD receiver's front-panel USB port for upload.
