I purchased a NAD T753 in 2005. The HTR remote is easy to program and has a useful fuctionality of button. After one year the remote died, would not do anything but the AMP button would blink repeatedly. I reset the remote and it lasted 1 week. I went back to the dealer and got a new remote. This remote was shelved for 2 years (was unable to hook up the system due to living arrangement), it has been recently been put in use. Surprisingly the buttons do not respond unless pushed VERY hard. I opened the remote and cleaned the contacts and made sure all were clean and secure. Yet nothing has changed. I am very disappointed in this product yet will have to pay $100+ for a new NAD remote so I can have the nice audio that the receiver provides.
