NAD response for Prologic IIx (1 Viewer)

[Alan Wise]

Sorry,
I inadvertantly put this in the "speakers and subwoofers" section. I need to look better before I click.

Anyway, here is the response from NAD to my inquiry regarding the upgrade of the T163 Pre-Pro to Dolby Pro Logic IIx:

Thank you for your recent request via the NAD Electronics web-site.

We are currently investigating the possibility of upgrading the T163/T763/T773 to support DPLIIx in the future. PLIIx code is waiting Dolby approval for the Cirrus DSP. There are two parts to the upgrade. The first part is upgrading the main control software which can be done via the RS232 port. The new software adds several new features and updates to the user interface. To get PLIIx, you then need to replace an IC chip on the DSP board which should be done by a service center.

Thank you for your interest in NAD electronics.

Best regards,

Karen Pritchard

In the back of the May/June 2004 issue of The Perfect Vision is the manufacturer's comments from Greg Stidsen which says:

Regarding Dolby PLIIx, we plan to be shipping units with PLIIx installed by early summer, and at the same time will make software upgrades available for existing customers with 7.1 speaker setups.
