8SCART/RGB VIDEO OUT (PAL only): Connect the L73 SCART/RGB VIDEO OUT to the SCART/RGB video input of a compatible video monitor/TV. Be sure to observe the correct orientation of the SCART/RGB plug. The routing of the SCART/RGB input is fixed: SCART/RGB plug will only display the internal DVD video signals.
9OPTICAL OUT: Connect the OUT OPTICAL port to the corresponding S/PDIF digital input of a recording component such as a CD recorder, DAT deck, or computer soundcard. See “Setup.”
10OPTICAL & COAXIAL IN: Connect to the coaxial/optical S/PDIF- format digital output of sources such as VCRs, HDTV or satellite tuners, or other components; connect IN OPTICAL/COAXIAL to an S/PDIF-format digital output.
1112 V TRIGGER OUT: This mini-jack will control on or off any auxiliary equipment with a 12V trigger input when the L73 switches from standby to on state respectively. The maximum current this output can handle is 50 mA at 12 V. Consult your NAD audio specialist for more information.
12PRE-OUT SUBWOOFER: Connect this output to a powered (“active”) subwoofer (or to a power amplifier channel driving a passive system).
135.1 CHANNEL INPUT: Connect to the corresponding analog audio outputs of a multichannel source component such as a DVD-Audio
or multichannel-SACD player, or external multichannel decoder.
NOTE
There is no bass-management or other processing (other than master-volume control) available to this 5.1 CHANNEL INPUT. While the multi-channel audio outputs of a DVD-Video player can be connected to these jacks, using the L73’s own Dolby Digital and DTS decoding and digital-analog converters, via a digital connection, can usually produce superior results.
14 CABLE/SAT & VCR: These comprise the L73’s principal inputs. Connect S-Video, composite video, and analog stereo audio from source components such as HDTV/satellite tuners (see “Setup”). VCR may be used with recording components such as videocassette or DVD-recorders; connect the L73 S-Video/composite video OUT jacks to these components’ record-input. (Note that VCR may freely be used for play-only components, in which case their IN jacks would remain unconnected.)
NOTE
For best results when recording to a VCR, select “SURROUND: STEREO”, and SUB: OFF in the receiver’s setup OSD.
Identification of controls
REAR PANEL
15 SPEAKERS: Connect the left and right front, centre, and left and right surround speaker outputs to the corresponding loudspeakers. Each output’s “+” (red) terminal and “-” (black) terminal must be connected to the corresponding “+” and “-” terminals of the loudspeaker. Use extra care to ensure that no stray wires or strands cross between posts or terminals at either end.
NOTE
•Use stranded wire of at least 16-gauge (AWG); specialized speaker cable may be valuable (consult your NAD audio specialist). Connections to the L73 can be made with banana-type plugs, or using bare wire, or pins, by loosening the terminal’s plastic nut, making a clean, neat connection, and re-tightening carefully (use the transverse hole through the post for bare-wire or pin connections). To minimize the danger of short-circuits, ensure that only 1/2-inch of exposed wire or pin is employed in connecting.
•This unit is designed to produce optimum sound quality when connected to speakers with impedances within the receiver’s operating range. Please check front, centre, and surround speakers are rated to be 8 Ohms min. per speaker.
IMPORTANT NOTE
For optimum surround performance, the L73 SPEAKER CONFIGURATION and levels must be set correctly via the receiver’s setup routines; see “SPEAKER CONFIGURATION.”
