rooms to lifelike sound levels. With NADs typical attention to detail
in the all important power supply design, the T754 can easily meet
its power spec with all channels operating simultaneously. NADs
exclusive PowerDrive-’ amplifier technology automatically adjusts
the power supply settings of the amplifier to the needs of the
loudspeaker. This ensures remarkably dynamic and distortion-free
performance with any type of loudspeaker, even demanding 4 ohm
designs. Many less advanced receivers resort to performance
robbing protection resistors to allow the use of 4 ohm speakers.
With PowerDrive, the performance is always optimized for the
actual operating condition and as a result the amplifier exhibits
very low distortion and excellent current drive in the real world.
Credit for the sound of NADs components rests squarely with our
unique design approach and our experienced and very talented
design team. Most companies design their products to a technical
specification and a price point. While this sounds logical enough,
it does not address the way the product will actually be used by
the eventual owner. You dont listen to specifications, you listen to
music and sound. While NAD products exhibit excellent technical
measurements, we have relied on our own ears and listening
experience to determine the final design of our products. Because
of our unique design approach , NADs sound is simply more real
sounding, adding enjoyment and excitement to your favourite films
and music recordings.
Flexibility
The T754 has all the flexibility required to serve as the command
center for even the most sophisticated Home Theatre systems. A
full suite of video switching caters to all the popular video formats
(Component Video, S-Video, and Composite Video). Digital inputs
and outputs are available in both coaxial and optical formats to
make it easy to attach all your digital sources for playback and
recording.
With the T754, NAD has made it easy to add more speakers for
listening to music in additional rooms or zones. A second pair of
speakers can simply be added to the front channel amplifiers and
switched on or off from the remote control or front panel switch.
More elaborate systems can also be created using the Zone 2
output to add additional amplifiers and speakers with the added
benefit of independent source selection and volume control. A
separate second zone remote is included. There are also 12 volt
triggers to automatically switch remote zone amplifiers on and off.
Thoughtful features like discrete On and Off codes, direct access
to inputs and FM station presets facilitates the integration of the
T754 into elaborate remote control systems.
An analogue 7.1 input is also provided for attaching a DVD-Audio
player or any other yet to be developed surround decoder, making
sure the T754 does not become obsolete anytime soon. Preamp
outputs and main amp inputs, a long standing NAD feature, allow
the addition of more powerful amplifier channels and/or the
reconfiguring of amplifier channels. (for example adding a more
powerful external amplifier to the front channels, and using the
onboard front channel amp or back surround channels amps to
power a second music zone from the Multi-Source output.)
Luxurious Simplicity
All the capability and flexibility in the world is quite useless if
the receiver becomes too complicated to be operated by every
member of the family. NAD has taken special measures to make
operation of the T754 as logical and straightforward as possible.
Initial system setup is best accomplished using your television
monitor and the clear and simple On Screen Display (OSD),
which can be configured to also give status updates as settings
are changed in everyday use. Once the T754 is informed of your
specific system set-up, all settings are stored in a non-volatile
memory making this a one time task. The front panel display
indicates complete information about the source being listened to
or watched including selected surround mode and volume setting.
The FM tuner includes 30 favorite station presets that can be
custom named, or if the station supports the Radio Data System
(RDS), it will automatically stream information about the station
and music being played.
Five independent A/V Presets can store speaker level and tone
control settings for instant recall, making it easy to custom tailor
your system for different types of program material. Encoded
surround modes like Dolby Digital and DTS are automatically
selected if the program is so encoded. The T754 also remembers
your last used settings when switched in and out of Standby
mode.
The included HTR-2 remote handset is a model type that is replacing
the typical remotes found for TVs, VCRs DVD players etc... . It has
illuminated buttons for easy operation in low light environments.
Remote commands for products not already included in the HTR-
2s memory can be easily taught to the HTR-2. And the HTR-
2s Macro function allows up to eight individual commands to be
triggered by the pressing just two keys. With this feature, all of
the commands required for watching a DVD, for example, are
executed automatically by the HTR-2s Macro function.
Summary
The T754 offers remarkable performance and flexibility in a
compact and simple to operate package. This multi-channel
powerhouse will bring your favorite music and movies to life in your
home entertainment room with an absolute minimum of fuss and
a maximum of pure enjoyment.
