1SPEAKERS: Connect the left and right 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. (See Figure 1 above)

NOTE

•Use stranded wire of at least 16-gauge (AWG); specialized speaker cable may be valuable (consult your NAD audio specialist). Connections to the L53 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 that front speakers are rated to be 8 Ohms min. per speaker.

2FM ANTENNA: The supplied wire “dipole” FM antenna will connect to the FM connector using the supplied “balun” adaptor. It will usually work best when mounted on a vertical surface such as a wall, with arms fully outstretched forming a horizontal “T” perpendicular to the origin point of the signal. Experiment with placement and orientation of to yield the clearest sound and lowest background noise. In areas of difficult FM reception an external FM antenna can yield dramatic gains in quality; consult your NAD audio specialist or a professional antenna installer.

3AM ANTENNA: The AM loop antenna supplied with the L53 (or a suitable replacement) is required for AM reception. Open the clip terminal lever; insert the wire and close, ensuring that the lever locks

the wire in place. Testing different positions for the antenna may improve reception; vertical orientation will usually produce the best results. Antenna proximity to large metal objects (appliances; radiators) may impair reception, as will attempts to lengthen the wire to the loop.

NOTE

An external AM antenna can improve long-distance reception substantially; consult your NAD audio specialist or a professional antenna installer. Do not connect anything other than a loop antenna to the AM ANTENNA terminal.

4CABLE/SAT & VCR: These comprise the L53’s principal inputs. Connect S-Video, composite video, and analog stereo audio from source components such as HDTV/satellite tuners. VCR may be used with recording components such as videocassette or DVD-recorders; connect the L53 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.)

5PRE-OUT SUBWOOFER: Connect this output to a powered (“active”) subwoofer (or to a power amplifier channel driving a passive system).
