That is my NAD T773!!!! I've had some **** luck with gear in the past but thing has me simmering to a boil.
I purchased this beast back in February of 2007 but never got to get it up and running because our new (at the time) living room and related gear wasn't ready.
I got her up and running at the end of September. When I powered it up, no digital audio. The analogs were working, FM, AM, CD analog, DVD analog.
I found the closest NAD authorized service shop which is just outside Baltimore about 57 miles or so. I drove it to the shop as this thing is so heavy that it would cost a fortune to ship.
October 12th the unit is repaired, the DSP board was bad. I hook it up and it is awesome.
Move ahead to the end of November; I hit pause on my DVR, then hit play, now the audio is out. I checked the DVD digital audio and it too is dead. I click over to the analogs and they are working.
I thought the DSP board blew again. I completely shut down the unit and even took the AC away from it. Powered it back up in about 15 minutes; it's working fine.
The next morning, my wife is watch TV and pauses the DVR, back to play no audio except this time when I switch to the various analog outs I get four hums and then nothing.
I powered it off again waited, back on, dead. Powered it off again for a longer period and it worked upon power up but died as soon as the audio was stopped or muted and then returned to normal.
Now here is the weird part, the AVR is sensing the audio be it digital or analog, no matter what the source but it is still not making a sound.
I brought it back to the shop December 8th, (1 hour drive) and he had it running for a week on a DVD player and had no problems. He calls me just before Christmas and tells me there is nothing wrong with it. I did tell him it was an intermittent problem.
I get the thing back and I'm too sick to do anything with it.
I hooked it up today. I made sure all of the connections are correct and nothing is shorting as well as made sure of the connections on the source sides.
Power it up, NOTHING!!!! **** FLETCHER!!!!!
I power it off and check all the connections again . . . power it up, we have lift off and it sounds awesome!!!
I switched over to the DVD and IT'S DEAD! Switch it back to the DVR, IT'S STILL DEAD!!! Switch to various sources analog and digital and all I get is four hums and then nothing.
I called the shop, he said to call NAD Customer Service Center. . .I call NAD THEY ARE GONE for the day.
Now this thing is supposed to be under warrantey for another year starting next month, I don't know, but if I have to pay for shipping this monster up to Canada, I'm may as well say goodbye to $100.
That is all . . .
. . . carry on, . . .
. . . nothing to see here except a red faced, teeth grinding, fist clenched WOP wanting to kick someone's dog, not mine of course.:o

Except for my TT(made by Rega), I wouldn't own anything by NAD."He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster. And when you gaze long into an abyss the abyss also gazes into you." Friedrich Nietzsche

Well as I said I've had problems before with NAD products. It seems some don't have any problems at all and then come the unlucky bastages like me.

I think it is more in the processing dept. -
You should call Trey...he knows all about sledgehammers, gasoline and other goodies for electronic devices.
Sorry to hear about the trouble, time to move on to something else! -

Too funny. I walk past that guys house when I take out the dog. You were so close to my house, maybe 8 minutes, when you dropped it off. I would have been so happy for you to stop by when you were down here.
How is that place, by the way? I've driven by it a thousand times and figured that most of their business would be fixing old VCRs or something; really not much to look at.Wristwatch--->Crisco -

Wow Ben I didn't know you lived so close to me. The last time went there it took 50 minutes.
They seem to have quite a business going there with all kinds of test gear and they are the only NAD authorized service center in the area. The next closest to me is in Pittsburgh, PA. -
Damn! Swing and a miss!

Yep I felt the breeze from that miss all the way up here. -

Ya never know 'til you ask:p:D
MillerLiteScott lives about 10 minutes west of there as well. Hopefully we're getting together in the near future, I'll let you know when and maybe you can swing by. He's rowdy as hell and plays a mean game of grabass, but I'm ok.Wristwatch--->Crisco -
I've got an old NAD 1240 that waited about 10 seconds before it discharged and thumped. I left the sumbitch on for THREE weeks straight after that and it still does it!:mad:
