Time to Upgrade

Good News! NAD is pleased to commence shipping the VM130 for the T 758. The VM130 brings you the latest Ultra HD video including HDMI 2.0b, High Dynamic Range (HDR) with full 4K at 60fps, 4:4:4 color resolution, and HDCP 2.2.

Please Contact your NAD Dealer today for assistance with your upgrade.

Installation is to be done by the dealer or a local service center. Labor charges may apply. If the installation is attempted by the end-user and problems arise, the end-user is responsible for all repair costs plus shipping and handling costs. NAD is not liable due to installation errors.

Installation time is approximately 1–2 hours. Most service centers and dealers bill by the hour and some have a waiting list. We recommend that you call ahead to get an appointment.

The end-user is responsible for round-trip shipping costs. We recommend using the original NAD packaging if it is necessary to ship the unit.
