High quality sound reproduction

High-precision audio processing by four independent 192 kHz 32-bit audio DACs for 7.1-channel sound ensure minimal noise. Highly durable corrosion-resistant gold-plated terminals maintain the high sound quality. The same high-grade capacitors found in top-class audio components are used for the signal and power supply circuits. The result is substantially less distortion, with smooth high frequencies and deep, rich bass. Insulators suppress housing vibration, greatly reducing noise interference and enabling faithful reproduction even of weak signal nuances that might otherwise be masked by vibration.
Breathtaking Realism

FULL HD 3D Blu-ray Disc™ Playback
Reproduction of all image data from Hollywood 3D movies on discs

The advanced 2D image technologies of the Panasonic Hollywood Laboratory have also been applied to 3D image playback, providing high quality images of the film that is approaching that of film. Lifelike 3D for beautifully reproduced images that leap off the screen with enhanced depth, luster and texture.

Adaptive Chroma Processing
Faithful color reproduction

Adaptive Chroma Processing is a high quality image-processing technology developed to precisely process each pixel of Blu-ray Disc™ video signals in the vertical and horizontal directions. Vertical color data has been increased 1.5 times (compared with 2010 models), allowing Adaptive Chroma Processing to reproduce color data more faithfully than ever before.

2D-3D Conversion
Watch 2D images in 3D

2D-3D Conversion enables conversion of 2D images on DVDs and Blu-ray™ Discs into 3D images with natural depth perception. Screen type (flat or round), and frame color are easily selectable. Watch your prized DVD movie collection in 3D for even greater viewing enjoyment. The new 2012 models can also convert content from VIERA Connect™* into 3D images of stunning depth.

24p Output for VOD
Cinematic playback for multi content

The Blu-ray Disc™ Players and Home Theaters not only play Blu-ray Discs™ and DVDs, but also video-on-demand movies content in the same 24p format as used at movie theaters. Connection to a 24p capable TV via an HDMI cable lets you enjoy a wide array of content with full cinematic picture quality.

*Requires a TV that supports 24p playback.

Smart Networking

NAD has created a simple user interface that is incredibly flexible but very easy to use. Each source component has its own customized setup that is memorized and recalled every time it is selected for viewing. In addition, powerful AV Presets allow custom setups for different types of program material that can specify speaker settings and surround modes to your exact taste.

There are also connections provided for external control systems like Crestron, AMX, Neuvo, etc.

Expand Your Music

The T 748 includes a highly sensitive FM/AM tuner with 30 station presets and RDS support.

Sweet Spot

The T 748 occupies that sweet spot of maximum value: a fully featured high performance product at an incredibly affordable price. Every essential feature is present and accounted for without any extraneous extras that increase cost but do nothing to improve the home theatre experience.
