Audio Features
Amplifier Section: The T 757 is rated using NAD's Full
Disclosure Power; 60 watts continuous output x 7 channels with all channels
running simultaneously from 20-20,000 Hz into 8Ω loads with no more than
0.08% THD. The stereo output is 110 watts continuous x 2 channels under the
same conditions.
Audyssey Auto Calibration: The Audyssey auto setup and
calibration feature uses the included microphone, along with sophisticated
digital electronics to automatically setup and calibrate the T 757 to the
exact speakers and speaker placement of your unique home theater. The receiver
automatically checks what speakers are connected (5.1 vs 7.1) and their polarity,
measures and adjusts each speaker's distance (delay time), relative level (volume),
and size (crossover point). The speakers can also be adjusted manually if you
prefer.
Amplifier Setup: If no surround back speakers are used in
the main zone, the surround back amplifier channels can be reassigned to Bi-Amp
the front left and right speakers (if they have bi-amp inputs) or power speakers
in Zone 2.
MDC: NAD's answer to future technological developments is
Modular Design Construction. MDC places all the digital input circuitry on an
easily removable plug-in card; your investment is protected because a single
card, rather than the entire receiver, can be replaced when a new format is
introduced.
Listening Modes: The T 757 is equipped with a digital signal
processor offering various listening modes to reproduce a variety of surround sound
effects, according to the content of the source being played:

Neo: 6 Music; adjust the center gain for a better image
relative to the rear channels
- EARS: Enhanced Ambience
Recovery System; proprietary NAD surround processing,
plays multi-channel (5.1) from two-channel recordings, stereo or
surround-encoded; EARS extracts the natural ambience present in
nearly all well-produced stereo recordings, it does not synthesize
any ambience or other sonic elements
- Enhanced Stereo: all recordings are output
in stereo using the maximum number of speakers, useful for maximum
volume from all channels or for multi-speaker background music; the
front, center, surround, and surround back speakers can be turned
on/off as desired
- Analog Bypass: analog signals are not converted
to digital; the DSP, speaker setup, and bass management circuitry is
bypassed; bass and treble controls remain
- Stereo: all output is directed to the front left
and right speakers; low frequencies are directed to the subwoofer (if
present)
A/V Presets: Five A/V presets can be stored with customized
settings for listening mode, DSP options (lip sync delay), tone control,
speaker setup, and front panel display.
Lip Sync Delay: Video signals may take longer to process
than audio signals, depending on the connected video equipment. The audio signal
can be delayed up to 120ms to synchronize with the video signal.
Tone Controls: Bass and treble can be adjusted +/- 10 dB.
Multi-Zone: The T 757's Zone 2 output allows independent
selection and control of output to another room. There are dedicated stereo
RCA audio outputs for Zone 2. If no surround back speakers are used in the
main zone, the surround back amplifier channels can be reassigned to power
speakers in Zone 2.
Note: Optical/coaxial digital and HDMI audio sources are not
output to Zone 2. You cannot output any video signal to Zone 2.
Assignable Inputs: Eight of the T 757's nine inputs are
assignable (source 5 is fixed as analog audio 3 and S-video 1); you can program the
name (as displayed on the front panel and OSD, up to twelve characters), analog
input, gain setting (+/-12 dB to match the other sources), digital audio input,
and video input to match a given source selection.
Digital Inputs/Outputs: There are three coaxial digital inputs
and four optical digital inputs (one front). The inputs accept digital
audio signals from a digital TV, Set top box, Blu-ray player, compact disc, DVD,
LD, or other digital source components; each can be assigned to a specific source
using the on-screen menu. There are also digital outputs, one coaxial and one
optical. The digital outputs can be connected to MD recorders, CD recorders, DAT
decks, or other similar components.
Preamp Outputs: The T 757 features Front left, Front right,
Center, Surround left, Surround right, Surround Back left, Surround Back right
and Subwoofer preamp outputs to connect the receiver to external power amplifiers.
There is also a dedicated stereo output for Zone 2.
7.1 Channel Input: The T 757 features a 7.1 Channel input
(Front left, Front right, Center, Surround left, Surround right, Surround Back
left, Surround Back right, and Subwoofer) for connecting an outboard processor
or multi-channel analog source. The 7.1 channel input can be assigned to eight
of the nine inputs (source 5 is fixed).
Speaker Terminals: The receiver has binding post speaker
terminals for the front, center, surround, and surround back channels. The
binding posts can accept bare wire up to 12 gauge, pin connectors, and single
banana plugs. The terminals are spaced too far apart for dual banana plugs and
a collar surrounding the terminals prevents the use of spade connectors.

(composite video, S-video, or component video), digitizes it and sends it out
through all of the monitor outputs (analog and HDMI). The on screen display is
also output through all of the monitor outputs.
HDMI Inputs/Output: This unit has four HDMI inputs and one
HDMI output. The inputs are assignable using the receiver's on-screen menu. The
T 757 will convert composite video, S-video, and component video to HDMI.
Component Video Inputs/Output: This unit has three component
video inputs and one component video output. These inputs are also assignable using
the receiver's on-screen menu and the composite video and S-video input signals are
converted to component video.
Composite Video Inputs/Output: There are three composite
video inputs (one front, two rear) and one composite video monitor output; the
inputs are assigned to specific sources using the on-screen menu.
S-Video Input: There is one S-video input assigned to the
iPod input (source 5). The S-video input can also be assigned to other inputs,
in addition to source 5.
Front-Panel A/V Input: The receiver features a front-panel
A/V input which consists of composite video, stereo RCA, and optical
digital jacks. There is also a 3.5mm stereo mini-jack input on the front panel.
Remote Controls
Main Remote: The AVR 4 remote controls the T 757 and is
pre-coded with controls for other NAD components.
