Hi everyone, I hope this isn't crossing a line but I'm extremely new to stereo systems and audio in general. Having started playing guitar a few years ago and after going through a phase of chasing down an amp/guitar tone I liked, I decided to try and setup an old NAD 2100 power envelope, NAD 7100 receiver, Polk ls-70 speakers my stepfather had decades ago to see if I can improve the way I listen to music, even if slightly using older gear.

So, not sure any of the gear is working other than powering on. Again, apologize if this isn't the way to seek out information here, if there is a better way or place please enlighten me! :)

I've had no luck finding the manuals so I'm just looking for what cables I need and where to plug the suckers in? I've added pictures from both from and back. Do these units need to be bridged if they both have amps? This would be a huge help to get the ball rolling and any help would be GREATLY appreciated. I'd love to see if the gear still works if it can be done relatively cheaply.

So can't post images which would help with getting the wiring right, anyone know where I might find the manuals from the NAD 2100 and NAD 7100 as a fall back?

Edit : Found the manuals! I have a starting point!

It’s a little tough to see. Maybe when I get a chance tomorrow, I’ll take a closer look and see what you actually have there. Maybe someone else might be more familiar with your gear.

Thanks Joe, much appreciated and sorry about those pics. Both pics were upside down from my camera and it looks like I fixed one and made the other worse. Maybe don't put too much time just yet actually. I think the receiver may be shot. I have some cables and contact cleaner arriving in a few days but if the receiver is shot that likely the end of the road for this stereo. I'll see if I can get some sound from the receiver and post back.
