GETTING THE MOST FROM THE L 54

UNPACKING AND SETUP

WHAT’S IN THE BOX

Packed with your L 54 you will find:

•An AM loop antenna

•An FM ribbon-wire antenna with balun

•The HTR 4 remote control with 4 (four) AAA batteries

•This owner’s manual

SAVE THe PACKAging

Please save the box and all of the packaging in which your L 54 arrived. Should you move or otherwise need to transport your L 54, this is by far the safest container in which to do so. We’ve seen too many otherwise perfect components damaged in transit for lack of a proper shipping carton, so please: Save that box!

CHOOSING A Location

Choose a location that is well ventilated (with at least several inches to both sides and behind), and that will provide a clear line of sight, within 25 feet/8 meters, between the L 54’s front panel and your primary listening/viewing position. This will ensure reliable infrared remote control communications. The L 54 generates a modest amount of heat, but nothing that should trouble adjacent components. It is perfectly possible to stack the L 54 atop other components, but the reverse usually should be avoided.

Nonetheless, it is generally preferable that the L 54 stands alone. It is especially important that

sufficient ventilation be provided. If you are contemplating on locating the L 54 within a cabinet or other furniture, consult your NAD audio/video specialist for advice on providing adequate airflow.

QUICK START

In case you simply cannot wait to experience the performance of your new NAD L 54 DVD Receiver, we provide the following “Quick Start” instructions to get you underway. Before the steps below, connect your L 54 to a TV/monitor.

Please make all the connections to your L 54 with the unit unplugged. It is also advisable to power- down or unplug all associated components while making or breaking any signal or AC power connections.

PLAY A Cd OR DVD MOvie

•Connect the L 54’s composite Video or S-Video “MONITOR OUT” jack to your TV/monitor’s corresponding input.

•Connect your left and right front speakers to the L 54’s “L” and “R” outputs. Make sure to connect red to red (“+”) and black to black (“-”) with care to avoid stray wires or strands crossing between terminals. If your system includes a powered subwoofer, connect the L 54’s “SUBWOOFER PRE-OUT” jack to its line input.

•Plug the AC mains plug into the AC outlet; the LED on the front panel will be illuminated blue indicating the L 54 is in standby mode ready to accept commands from either the front panel power switch or the HTR 4 remote.

•To start playback of the DVD player; press “DVD” at the HTR 4 remote’s Device Selector section and then “OPEN/CLOSE” button.

•Insert the media and press [PLAY] button to start playback. You should hear stereo sound, and see an image on the TV/monitor. (If one or the other fails to appear, you may need to use either the L 54’s on-screen menu system to check assignment of audio and video inputs (See section on “Video Out” under the heading “Operation.”)

Enjoy the movie or music, but be sure to set aside time to read this manual thoroughly, and to set up, calibrate, and configure your L 54 carefully and completely.
