20 Most Recent NAD 712 Questions & Answers

In my case, if I push in on the balance knob, I can get the channel that quits to work for a while.
This leads me to believe that the pot is dirty as opposed to a circuit or component failure.
A couple of years ago, I sprayed circuit cleaner into the pot as best I could and the problem disappeared but, it has returned.
My next attempt will be with one of the newer cleaner/lubricators that are available now.
I don't know if this will solve your problem but, it might be worth a try.
BTW, getting access to the volume/balance pots takes some doing. As long as you are there treat both pots.

Amplifier is about shot, need to replace IC pack or transistors (whichever it has). Could, remotely, be the speaker lines are installed incorrectly?out of phase. + to +, - to - from amp to speakers. Some amps will protect themselves when this condition occurs till fixed.

Hi okapi6

Use a 3.5mm stereo jack to RCA connector lead.
Connect this to the AUX input on the back of the 7140, and away you go. Get the lead as an accessory from just about any electronics hobby store.

Hi DERAIN Francois,First of all, thank you for purchasing the service manual of NAD T753.Please email me at [email protected] I will send to you the copy. It is a PDF file format and can't be upload here.Again, thank you so much!Take care and have a great day!Rating and feedback are highly appreciated.mjsazon

Check to see if one of the Tape Monitors is ON. Turn it OFF.

There's supposed to be a pair of jumpers between Pre Out and Main In. Are they there? If not, install a short RCA cable pair.

Funny that you just posted. On Monday, I dropped off my G-7700 at The Audio Lab in Harvard Square, Cambridge, MA. http://www.theaudiolab.com/

As soon as I walked in the place I knew I was at the right spot. They service and sell some really high-end vintage units as well as carry brand new high-end audio equipment. $60/hr for service work. As a gauge, my G-7700 took 2hrs to do a complete overhaul, which included replacing some pots, re-soldering cold joints, calibrating the tuner and other components. i thought it worked really well before!

Experienced, knowledgeable, efficient.

Give them a call and ship your G-7700 to them. It's worth it.

There could be a number of reasons for this. It woyld help if you could indicate what resistors you changed. The circuit designation should be marked on the PC board. Please post those here and I'll look further and provide some possible solutions.

Thanks,

The contacts in the A B speaker selector switch had degraded on my NAD 7130 receiver. Distortion and signal loss would come and go. Contact cleaner and wriggling the swx knob became useless. Then, years ago I jumped the swx with small lengths of bare wire and tinned the whole thing with solder. Never had a problem since and it probably improved the receiver because it eliminated a component in the output stage that could (and did) introduce distortion.

A 712 is not set up to use an Ipod USB dock.  You can buy a dock that will use RCA jacks into an old stereo - Apple sells them, others too.  Then the Ipod sits up and you can look at it.  Or you can buy the 1/8" stereo plug to two RCA plugs that Radio Shack has been selling for 30-40 years, plug one end into your Ipod headphone jack, and run the two RCA plugs into your Aux input.  That costs about $5, and is easy as pie.  An Ipod will play through any old receiver, but the USB docks will not plug into them.

On my system the bulbs burned out some time ago. Today, I bought a pair of 12v micro lamps at Radio Shack (part 272-1092). Then removed the board behind the display and replaced the bulbs. This required some soldering. The bulbs have held up for more than 6 hours, so I do not think they are going to burn out.

The clicking is the sound of a bad relay. A relay is an electrical switch that opens and closes under the control of another electrical circuit. There is no user solution for this. You'll have to take it to an electronics repair shop (~$150) or dump the whole unit.
