GB NAD T 751 SURROUND SOUND RECEIVER
NOTES ON INSTALLATION.
Your NAD T 751 should be placed on a firm, level surface. Avoid placing the unit in direct sunlight or near sources of heat and damp.
Allow adequate ventilation. Do not place the unit on a soft surface like a carpet. Do not place it in an enclosed position such a bookcase or cabinet that may impede the
Make sure the unit is switched off before making any connections.
The RCA sockets on your NAD T 751 are color coded for convenience. Red and white are Right and Left audio respectively, orange for digital input, yellow for Video Composite and NAD Link.
Use high quality leads and sockets for optimum performance and reliability. Audio RCA leads will function correctly for video signals, although it is rec- ommended to use dedicated video leads where pos- sible. For the digital inputs use dedicated leads for digital signal transfer. Ensure that leads and connec- tors are not damaged in any way and all connectors are firmly pushed home.
For best performance, use quality speaker leads of 16 gauge (1.5mm) thickness or more.
FM ANTENNA
A ribbon wire FM antenna is included and should be connected to the FM connector at the rear of the unit (Fig. 4) using the ‘balun’ adapter supplied. The ribbon aerial should be mounted on a vertical surface and placed so that it forms a ‘T’.
Experiment with placement of the antenna to find the position that gives the best signal strength and lowest background noise. An inadequate FM signal normally results in high levels of hiss, especially in stereo, and interference from external electrical sources. In areas of poor FM reception, the tuner section’s performance can be improved by using an externally mounted FM antenna. A qualified aerial installer will be able to advise and fit a recommended aerial for your reception conditions.
2. AM STEPPING FREQUENCY
Worldwide models are equipped with a switch that controls the AM band tuning steps. Please set this switch to match the AM band tuning step frequency as below:
•120V version : 10kHz
•230V version : 9kHz
If the unit is not going to be used for some time, disconnect the plug from the AC socket.
Should water get into your NAD T 751, shut off the power to the unit and remove the plug from the AC socket. Have the unit inspected by a qualified service technician before attempting to use it again.
Do not remove the cover, there are no
Use a dry soft cloth to clean the unit. If necessary, lightly dampen the cloth with soapy water. Do not use solutions containing benzol or other volatile agents.

1. FM & AM ANTENNA
AM ANTENNA
An AM loop antenna is supplied with the T 751 and is required for AM reception. Open the clip terminal lever and insert the wire from the antenna. Closing the lever will lock the wire in place (Fig. 5). Test vari- ous positions for the antenna, but always ensure the loop is placed vertically for best reception. Placing the antenna close to large metal items such as metal shelves or radiators may interfere with reception.
NOTE:
When reception is not satisfactory using the sup- plied AM loop antenna alone, connection of an exter- nal antenna is recommended. Do not connect any- thing other than a loop antenna to the AM ANTENNA terminal. Do not remove the AM loop antenna. The antenna cable to the loop antenna must not exceed 3 meters.
