Most A/V receivers available on the market today focus predominantly on  
the Video and Surround Sound aspects, leaving the audio circuitry almost  
as an afterthought. At NAD we believe that there are many people for whom  
music will always come first so, with NAD's reputation for high value / high  
performance it was obvious that the Model T760 would have to please both  
Audiophiles and Videophiles alike.  
easily deal with dynamics and difficult loads. More meaningful are the  
T760’s dynamic capabilities; up to 200 Watts into 2 ohms and up to 40  
amps peak current capability.  
Whereas it is widely accepted with CD players that the digital and analog cir-  
cuitry play a vital role in the performance, it appears that many AV receivers  
employ only mediocre Digital-to-Analog (DAC), Analog-to-Digital (ADC)  
converters and Digital Signal Processors (DSP). For the T760 the engineers  
have chosen the best available within the budget: Crystal™ Sigma-Delta  
DACs and ADCs, each with 24-bit resolution. The DSP chip that handles the  
Dolby Digital, DTS, Dolby Pro Logic and EARS Modes, is also from the well  
renowned manufacturer Crystal™. The combination of these components  
ensure that the integrity of the original signal, be it music or an action  
movie, retains its full resolution and dynamics.  
Design:  
By doing away with many costly and superfluous features, NAD's engineers  
concentrated only on the truly important parts of an A/V receiver. As the  
new Digital Surround Sound formats allow for the same wide bandwidth  
and large dynamic range for the front channels as the rear channels, all  
five channels are capable of putting out an equal amount of power. As  
usual with NAD, the T760 uses discrete output stages only, including the  
surround channels. The benefits of this approach have been proven over  
the years in many acclaimed NAD amplifiers and receivers. The integrated  
output modules favored by so many other designs will deliver a decent  
amount of power under laboratory conditions, driving an 8 ohms resistor,  
but can have great difficulties in driving moderately difficult speakers. The  
NAD T760 uses the new Impedance Sensing Circuitry (ISC) topology  
(patent pending) designed by Bjørn Erik Edvardsen.  
Flexibility  
As one would expect from any NAD component, the Model T760 offers  
great flexibility: the 5 video (1 on front panel for easy connection of game  
console or camcorder) and 2 audio inputs allow you to connect all your  
sources with ease. Three of the video inputs are full S-Video and  
Composite compatible.  
ISC:  
Besides these "normal" inputs, the T760 also sports an external decoder  
(5.1 channel) input so you can easily expand your receiver in the future  
with an outboard decoder for another surround sound format. 3 Digital  
inputs are provided, to cater for every eventuality: Two coaxial digital  
inputs and a TOS Link for sources with optical outputs. With pre-amplifier  
outputs for all channels (Left, Centre, Right, Left Surround, Right Surround  
and subwoofer) you can easily upgrade your output power too.  
The ISC topology allows the T760 to deliver maximum performance under  
virtually any circumstance, independent of the loudspeakers it is driving.  
The circuitry automatically recognizes the impedance characteristics of the  
loudspeaker and will then adjust its power supply settings to best cope  
with that specific load. The benefit of this innovative design is that distor-  
tion remains low, not just with test tones in the lab, but also when playing  
real music through real loudspeakers.  
To ensure long-terms contact reliability, all speaker terminals are of the  
robust binding post variety rather than the usual spring clips and all other  
audio sockets are gold plated.  
NAD takes a stance to the mindless "brochure power" approach which  
doesn’t give a realistic indication of an amplifier’s true capabilities.  
Instead, the ISC topology is a practical approach to enable an amplifier to  
 
The remote control handset supplied with the Model T760 also has con-  
trols for NAD CD players or changers and a (dubbing) cassette deck. With  
NAD Link it is possible to remote control other NAD products which do not  
have their own remote control (NAD Cassette Deck Model 616, for  
instance) from the T760's remote control.  
station, such as the presenter, which music is playing, etc. The RDS feature  
requires a specially encoded signal from the radio station; not all stations  
will display RDS data.  
Rather than providing many different surround sound modes (Church,  
Jazz, Stadium, etc.) which makes so many other receivers cluttered and  
over complicated, the engineers concentrated on perfecting the Dolby  
Digital and Pro Logic decoding and steering. For music the NAD developed  
Enhanced Ambience Recovery System (EARS) mode can be engaged,  
adding a natural level of ambience, relying only on the original information  
in the signal.  
Ease of use  
Ease of use is another key factor for NAD products and the Model T760 is  
no exception. The built-in test signal generator -accessible by remote con-  
trol- allows for accurate calibrating of the Front, Center and Surround  
speakers.  
Thirty presets can be programmed at random with FM stations, ten with  
AM stations. The T760 also offers RDS PS (Program Service) and RT  
(Radio Text). When tuning in to an RDS radio station, the T760 will auto-  
matically display the name of the station so you do not have to remember  
which frequency belongs to what station. At the touch of a button RDS RT  
(Radio Text) will display additional information broadcast by the radio  
In keeping with the NAD tradition, the Model T760 provides a level of per-  
formance, ease of use and flexibility, which is hard to match. This new  
addition to the NAD line of products is equally at home in a system for dis-  
cerning music lovers, as it is in a system for those looking to get the best  
out of Dolby Surround laser Discs, Videos and Compact Discs.
