ABOUT THE T 754 Though the T 754 is among the most technically sophisticated A/V receivers, we worked hard to make it one of the most musically transparent home-theater components available as well; this is what we mean by NAD’s “Music First” design philosophy. Here are just a few examples: The T 754 uses NAD’s proprietary Power Drive™ amplifier technology for all channels to preserve accurate, linear reproduction regardless of the loudspeaker. This uniquely efficient power-supply topol- ogy p

ABOUT THE ON-SCREEN DISPLAYS (OSD) AND FRONT-PANEL READOUT The T 754 receiver employs a simple, self-explanatory system of on-screen display "menus" that will appear on the connected video monitor/TV.
