Hello diyAudio forum,
I'm a first time owner of an amplifier, as I've just bought two passive speakers. I wish to connect it all to both a record player, and my TV.
I'm having issues with the NAD T743, and I apologize if I can't explain it well, because I'm really not technically gifted.
The speakers are connected to the right places with the wires.
The red/white cables are put into the "CD" input on the back.
I turn it on and put it on CD, and connect my phone. But I can only hear a VERY low sound of the music playing, and that's while the amplifier and phone is at maximum.
I've pressed all the buttons and I don't know what to do. I've tried to factory reset, but it doesn't work per the guides I found online, and I don't understand what the user manual describes. I have a remote, and it can turn the amplifier ON, but it can't do anything else than that. All the buttons just light up red when you click them.
I hope someone wants to help. I was really hoping to have this set up by now, but I've spent 4 hours playing with it and have no results.
Thank you.
Best regards,
Anders

Hi Anders,
Are the bridges present at the rear?
Could you post a detailed pic of the connections you made?

There should be bridges between Main-in and Pre-out as shown in my previous picture.
If you don't have them, you can bridge them with an RCA cable.

I'm pretty sure it will be fixed.
Ask the seller if he still has the bridges.
An integrated amp like this consists of a preamplifier and a power amplifier.
On many models they can be seperated from each other.
This means you could use the amp as a preamp and use another external power amplifier.
Or vice versa, use an external preamp with the power amp from your NAD.
The bridges are nothing special apart from the fact that they have to fit in thickness and distance from the RCA sockets.
Or you could try to make your own with thick solid copper wire..

If you want the center channel to work you'll have to connect the lower socket as well.
So yes, you will need 2 RCA cables. Or or simple 3 wire cable like this:
For normal stereo -as your speakers are currently wired- you can do with a cable like the one you connected your CD with.
