UNPACKING AND SETUP

WHAT’S IN THE BOX

Packed with your T 743 receiver you will find:

•An AM loop antenna

•A FM ribbon-wire antenna with balun

•A removable AC cable (if you wish, any IEC-standard AC cable of suitable wattage may be substituted).

•The HTR 2 remote control with 4 (four) AAA batteries.

•This owner’s manual.

Save the packaging

Please save the box and all of the packaging in which your T 743 arrived. Should you move or otherwise need to transport your receiver, this is by far the safest container in which to do so. We’ve seen too many otherwise perfect components damaged in transit for lack of a proper shipping carton, so please: Save that box!

CHOOSING A LOCATION

Choose a location that is well ventilated (with at least several inches to both sides and behind), and that will provide a clear line of sight, within 25 feet/8 meters, between the receiver’s front panel and your primary listening/viewing position—this will ensure reliable infrared remote control communications. The T 743 generates a modest amount of heat, but nothing that should trouble adjacent components. It is perfectly possible to stack the T 743 atop other components, but the reverse usually should be avoided. Nonetheless, it is generally preferable that the T 743 stand alone. It is especially important that sufficient ventilation be provided; if you are contemplating locating the T 743 within a cabinet or other furniture, consult your NAD audio/video specialist for advice on providing adequate airflow.
