Welcome to the forum!
I'll be glad to get this started for you. Your speaker configuration is correct for what you'd like to do but you didn't mention external amplification in your equipment list. For 7.1.2 you will need external amplification for 2 channels as the NAD has amplification for only 7.

I have connected Power Amplifier (AUDIOSOURCE Amp100vs 2 Channel Analog Power Amp 50 Watts Per Channel) taking from the receiver Audio Pre-out Front HT1 and connected 2 Dolby Atmos.
Hope this will answer your requirement.

I’m not super familiar with the NAD MENU settings - some receivers allow you to set your Atmos channels as modules or ceiling mounted channels.

Doesn’t look like that’s an option for you? If not, I’d think you set them as Height 1.

Good news, Todd. On the T758v3 Dolby Enabled Front is correct for Dolby Atmos speakers that sit on top of fronts. The other options available are Top Front, Top Middle, and Top Rear.

All,
My first post here but not my first rodeo audio wise.
I have configured my newly acquired T758 V3 (Secondary System for Family Room), exactly like Ravi and have to this point found no way to have both front Height 1 and back speakers active at the same time.
If, as Ravi and I have configured, the back amp is kept as a back amp, the line level outputs are NOT active for the Height channels and they do NOT put out a signal to the downstream amp used for same. Dirac doesn't find them as speakers so they must be removed to use Dirac on the rest of the speaker group.
I have confirmed that IF I reconfigure the back amp as a Height Amp the line level outputs then function as Height 1 outputs but of course then I have no back channels functional.
I would appreciate input from anyone who has this configuration working to provide me with the solution they have found.

Thanks

Hopefully I'm not misunderstanding, but sounds like you're trying to configure a 7.1.2 system? To do that with the T758v3 you will need to use an external amp and the height channel pre-amp outputs are on the very left on the back of the unit. Leave the NAD's amp assignment on "Back" for a 7.1.X configuration.

Interesting. With the older version (full) of the Dirac Live calibration program, the two height speakers show up just as they should. With the new version, just released, they do not. I will see what the folks at Dirac have to say.

You're referring to the volume calibration screen? With a 5.1.4 I have to left click and drag the screen left to see the height 2 speakers on the right. I can see the height 1. I guess with a 7.1.X all the height speakers would be off the screen to the right.

Thanks, John! I tried everything else under the sun! You probably read the manual.

FALSE ALARM!

Glad I could help.
The UI is still kind of buggy and there isn't a manual yet that I'm aware of. Zooming frustrated me to no end because I did it accidentally a couple of times without knowing what I'd done. Finally figured out 2 fingers up/down on the laptop mouse pad was doing it. Once zoomed you can drag right/left.
I'll look forward to hearing what you have to say about Dirac 2.0 when the time comes.

jbislenel: Hopefully you have figured this out, with jstewart's guidance. I can attest that it works as he says.

Thanks, that is in process.
