If you arecontemplating on locating the T 785 within a cabinet or other furniture,consult your NAD audio/video specialist for advice on providing adequateairflow.QUICK STARTPacked with your T 785 is a Quick Start Guide that will guide you throughtypical setup configurations in combination with your ancillary devices.

Note these considerations to help prevent hum andnoise problems:• Power all your system’s audio component from AC outlets originatingfrom the same circuit of your house wiring. As far as possible, powerall audio components from the same outlet, or adjacent outlets on thesame circuit. It may be useful to power video displays (and computers!)from outlets on another circuit, especially if that circuit is supplied fromthe other “leg” of the house wiring.• Do not bundle analog audio cables with AC power cables, or withcoaxial digital-audio cables. It is best if they cross at right angles if theymust be in close proximity.• Employ high-quality, well-shielded audio cable throughout, and ensurethat all connections are secure.• A pencil-eraser can be used to burnish copper- and gold-platedcontacts to ensure good, low-resistance contact; specialized contact-cleaners can also be useful. Avoid unnecessary unplugging andre-plugging since the gold (or copper) contact plating of typical cableconnectors, even very high-quality ones, is very thin and easily worn.Track down hum/noise problems one component at a time, workingbackwards from the A/V Receiver. That is1 Connect the speakers to the A/V Receiver only, and check for hum.2 Then connect one component only (a CD player, for example) alone,with no other components connected and check for hum.3 Connect additional components, one at a time, to the A/V Receiver andcheck for hum.At each stage, if hum/noise appears, examine the audio cabling and AC-power routing of the new component. In some cases, moving the newcomponent’s AC cord to a different outlet, or installing a ground-lift (3-to-2-prong adapter) on its power cord, will eliminate the hum.6ENGLISH FRANÇAIS ESPAÑOL ITALIANO DEUTSCH NEDERLANDS SVENSKA РУССКИЙ
