NAD HTR 10
Overview
Originally shipped with the T 778 AV receiver since late 2022, the HTR 10 can also be purchased separately to control an existing NAD system. It brings together the brand’s advanced universal remote features (IR learning, macros, punch-through) in a streamlined five-device format, with a few additions requested by users of Dolby Atmos installations.
Five pages for a complete system
The HTR 10 controls five devices via an equal number of selection buttons: AMP, TV, BLS (for Bluesound network players), STB, and AUX. Each button provides access to a “page” of commands specific to the selected device. The NAD library is built in: the brand’s amplifiers, CD players, Blu-ray players, and tuners work right out of the box. These factory codes remain stored even if other commands are programmed over them, making it easy to restore them if the configuration changes.
Compared with the HTR 8 (eight devices, 360 commands, 52 macros), the HTR 10 scales things back: 220 storable commands, 48 macros. A deliberate choice for a system that’s simpler to configure when you don’t need to control eight different sources.
Learning and macros: automation without an app
Infrared learning works with most remote controls on the market, across all brands. Place the two remotes facing each other, about five centimeters apart, and follow the procedure using the button combinations. A tri-color LED (green, amber, red) indicates the status: command learned, in progress, or failed. The HTR 10 can generate IR signals up to 500 kHz, covering nearly all existing protocols. However, some proprietary formats or degraded signals may still cause problems.
Macros let you chain up to 64 commands to a single button, combining multiple devices. Turn on the amplifier, switch to the Blu-ray input, turn off the television: all in one press. A one-second delay is automatically inserted between each command; for devices that take longer to start up, you can add “empty steps” by changing pages without programming a function.
Compatibility and limitations
The HTR 10 controls current and older NAD devices, provided they use infrared. BluOS components (network players, integrated amplifiers) respond to transport and navigation commands, but full control still goes through the BluOS app on a smartphone or tablet. For devices from other brands, IR learning works in the vast majority of cases; failures mainly involve remotes with degraded signals or non-standard protocols.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the HTR 10 work with older NAD amplifiers?
Yes. The built-in library contains the codes for most NAD amplifiers, CD players, Blu-ray players, and tuners produced in recent years. If a very old model is not recognized, you can still learn its commands from the original remote control.
Can it control a television or video projector from another brand?
Yes, via the learning function. The HTR 10 stores the infrared signals from almost all off-the-shelf remote controls. The TV or AUX page can therefore be configured to control a Samsung, LG, Sony, or other television.
What is the difference from the HTR 8 supplied with some T 778 units?
The HTR 8 controls eight devices instead of five, stores 360 commands (versus 220), and stores 52 macros. The HTR 10, with more compact capacity, adds the height channel adjustment button and revised navigation ergonomics.
What does the 500 kHz IR frequency mean?
It is the maximum carrier frequency that the HTR 10 can generate. Most remote controls use frequencies between 30 and 60 kHz; this wide margin ensures compatibility with less common protocols.
