This setup is easy,read enough of book to put up menu too tv,put in spkr distance,selected spkr levels and belive this avr is really a 7.2 receiver as there are 2 sub outputs! And this is the fun part as the receiver has the most awesome musical bass rendering ive ever heard from a avr,its solid and warm quite tube like sound blew me away and im still experimenting w/subs placement!{ Tip} try enhanced bass {on} in menu! Ok ive selected 60 and 70hz for surrounds and large for the infinity beta 50s and beta c360 center ch. The decent bass the betas have combined w/2 100watt 10" subs all sound tremendous together! So i boxed up my 7.1 thx certified receiver that cant play back a cd without getting on your nerves,eq was sounding great but past 25watts it became a nusance? The NAD T765 can and does play music even better than i hoped,the highs are smooth and alive and the mid-bass and deeper notes were astounding and midrange is not biting like before! Didnt try audessey setup,this unit doesnt have eq upgrade but its availible! I Didnt run the hmdi to it as optical true glass cables get my audio and i dont let video get near a audio circuit board if at all possible period! Besides every hmdi change renders a firmware update mandatory or popping,clicking,humming,just nameing a few things! The NAD is powerful using 8ohm spkrs but 4ohm would be defening in a lg room,mine is v/large and its a blasting music clean when i want and its still wonderous sounding!
Has a second remote for other zones! 12Volt triggers -full array of analoge inputs/outputs,digital of course also! This unit is about 40lbs and transformer is a big one too,but runs barely warm! The anologe inputs play music real well,even 128k enternet radio,great sounding! Not sure about year on this unit,i bought a factory refurbished one for monetary reasoning! Big surprize factor on decent spkrs sounding fabulous!
Price paid $999.00 one yr. warr. and receipt! Bought a pair of infinitys beta 50 units for $573.00 the same way! Problems none as ive had the betas 1yr. I bought the NAD on faith from forums and pro reveiw and simply couldnt afford the adcom units i looked at! I didnt see a deal on a rotel either?
Choose wisely and mindful of what you want,ht is easy compared too playing a cd beautifully ,is what ive found out after $500.00 thats been boxed up!!
Most avr units cant do music like this ,and i didnt know at all that this was the case!! NOPE I SURE DIDNT HAVE A CLUE!
