The NAD T 753 is heir to many generations of award
winning NAD designs. This exceptional pedigree is
evident in both the look and the feel of the T 753, and it is
unmistakable the moment you listen. Based on the highly
successful T 752, the T 753 boasts detail improvements
in virtually every area of the receiver, for a cumulative
effect that is fully deserving of the new model number.
Starting with a revised heat management system that
reduces internal operating temperatures even under the
most severe operating conditions, the T 753 includes a
new volume control circuit and input switching circuit that
further reduces noise and distortion.
Performance
Today’s advanced surround sound receivers require
quality in both the digital decoding stages and the
analogue amplifying stages for the best overall
performance. The T 753 is an excellent example of the
NAD Design Team’s expertise in both areas.
Using the latest high speed DSP technology, NAD
was able to include the newest surround formats from
Dolby and DTS, as well as including NAD’s own highly
regarded music surround mode, the EARS (Enhanced
Ambient Recovery Circuit) circuit. Unlike, the typical
articially enhanced DSP modes like “Club”, “Stadium”,
and “Church”, EARS uses DSP technology to extract the
natural ambience to create surround sound from any 2
channel source inducing a warm natural reverberant effect
without the articial “BOING”. Surround processing is
automatically detected via the digital inputs of the T 753,
and the “highest” or most advanced form of decoding is
switched in. Conversion of the decoded digital bitstream
is performed with high resolution and extremely linear
D/A Converters carefully selected for their performance
capabilities.
NAD’s reputation for producing power ampliers that are
both potent and musical is upheld in ne manner with the
T 753. Boasting a minimum of 70 watts continuous power
per channel, the T 753 can ll even large rooms to lifelike sound
levels. With NAD’s typical attention to detail in the all important
power supply design, the T 753 can easily meet its power spec
with all channels operating simultaneously. NAD’s exclusive
PowerDrive amplier technology automatically adjusts the power
supply settings of the amplier 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 amplier exhibits very low
distortion and good current drive in the real world.
Credit for the sound of NAD’s components rests squarely with our
unique design approach and our experienced and very talented
design team. Most companies design their products to a technical
specication 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 don’t listen to specications, 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 nal design of our products. Because
of our unique design approach, NAD’s sound is simply more “real”
sounding, adding enjoyment and excitement to your favorite lms
and music recordings.
Flexibility
The T 753 has all the exibility 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 T 753, 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 ampliers and
switched on or off from the remote control or front panel switch.
More elaborate systems can also be created using the Multi-Source
output to add additional ampliers and speakers with the added
benet of independent source selection and volume control. A
separate second zone remote is included. There are also 12V
triggers to automatically switch remote zone ampliers on and off.
Thoughtful features like discrete On and Off codes, direct access to
inputs and FM station presets facilitates the integration of the T 753
into elaborate remote control systems.

Luxurious Simplicity
All the capability and exibility 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 the
operation of the T 753 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 congured to also give status updates as settings
are changed in everyday use. Once the T 753 is informed of your
specic 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 favourite 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 T 753 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, VCR’s DVD players
etc... It has illuminated buttons for easy operation in low light
environments. Remote commands for products not already
included in the HTR-2’s memory can be easily “taught” to the
HTR-2. And the HTR-2’s Macro function allows up to eight
individual commands to be triggered by the pressing of just two
keys. With this feature, all of the commands required for watching
a DVD, for example, are executed automatically by the HTR-2’s
Macro function.
Summary
The T 753 offers remarkable performance and exibility 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.
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 T 753 does not become obsolete anytime soon. Preamp
outputs and main amp inputs, a long standing NAD feature, allow
the addition of more powerful amplier channels and/or the
reconguring of amplier channels. (for example, adding a more
powerful external amplier to the front channels, and using the
onboard front channel amp or back surround channels amps to
