When this guide applies

Exact NAD C 700 V2. Only a positively active Sleep Timer with an Off/cancel choice visibly present; no network packet-loss diagnosis or standby change. Only normal external user controls; no reset, firmware installation, internal repair, mains alteration or earth lifting.

Connection scope: Device controls / power only. Symptom: Audio keeps cutting out.

This is a documented check, not a diagnosis of your equipment. The model name does not confirm the selected input, mode, software or connected partner.

If your exact model or a required setting is unknown, use the “I don’t know” branch below. Do not apply a similarly named model’s instructions.

Checks and possible outcomes
