THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING NAD.

The C 426 Tuner is a technologically advanced and highly capable product

—yet we have invested great effort in making it simple and easy to use. We have been careful to ensure that the C 426 is as musically transparent and spatially accurate as possible, incorporating much of what we’ve learned from a quarter century’s experience designing audio, video and home-theater components. As with all our products, NAD’s “Music First” design philosophy guided the C 426’s design, such that it can confidently promise you both state-of-the-art and audiophile-quality music listening for years to come.

We encourage you to take a few minutes now to read right through this manual. Investing a little time here at the outset might save you a good deal of time later, and is by far the best way to ensure that you make the most of your investment in the C 426, and get the most from this powerful and flexible audio component.

One more thing: We urge you to register your C 426 ownership on the NAD Worldwide Web site:
