For the enthusiast that seeks the highest levels of  
performance and flexibility, NAD has created the T 163  
A/V Tuner Preamp. When matched with an NAD multi-  
channel power amp, the T 163 clearly achieves NAD’s  
10/10 Rule: adding 10% more performance would increase  
the price by a factor of 10! Whether your primary interest  
is Hollywood movies, music videos, or just listening to  
music, the T 163 delivers on the NAD promise of creating  
an intense and involving home entertainment experience  
at a price that competes with “ordinary” components from  
the mass-market brands.

Separates vs. Receivers  
Separate components have always been used in  
professional applications, and occupy the highest tier  
of performance for consumer electronics products.  
Simply put, the receiver concept makes compromises in  
performance and flexibility in favor of convenience and  
price. This is especially true for the power amplifier section  
of the receiver. The large power supply and output stage  
heat sinks of the power amp must be compromised to fit  
in the single chassis format of the receiver. These high  
power parts can also cause interference with the low-  
voltage sensitive circuits used in preamplifier, tuner, and  
decoder sections of the receiver. The T 163 combines all  
the control and decoding functions in one compact chassis,  
giving up nothing to the convenience of the receiver, yet  
by separating the power amp stages gives a big jump in  
performance and flexibility.  
•Analogue input levels are adjustable for best S/N  
ratio  
•Pre-amp Outputs employ discrete component buffer  
amps for ultra-low output impedance and high  
current drive

•5 Custom Scenario Presets store unique speaker  
setting (Bass Management) surround mode and tone

Features  
•HTR-2 - 8 Device Illuminated Learning Remote with  
Macro function  
The T 163 offers remarkable system flexibility, with all  
audio, video and digital inputs freely assignable to a non-  
volatile memory. Inputs can also be renamed to add a  
custom touch to your system. This is easily accomplished  
via the OSD (On Screen Display) or via the RS-232 and  
available PC program.  
•ZR-2 Second Zone Remote included, discrete codes  
for independent zone  
The T 163 also includes rear panel IR input and outputs in  
addition to a 2-way RS-232 communications port to allow  
easy interface to advanced control systems like Aegis  
and Crestron. With a Zone 2 audio and video output,  
the T 163 is really two components in one, allowing
