UNPACKING AND SETUP

WHAT’S IN THE BOX

Packed with your T 557 you will find:

•An audio/video cable connector

•The BR 2 remote control with 2 (two) AA batteries

•A detachable AC power cord

•HDMI cable (European version model only)

•Set of rubber feet

•This owner’s manual

SAVE THE PACKAGING

Please save the box and all of the packaging in which your T 557 arrived. Should you move or otherwise need to transport your T 557, 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 23 feet/7 meters, between the T 557’s front panel and your primary listening/viewing position. This will ensure reliable infrared remote control communications.

The T 557 generates a modest amount of heat, but nothing that should trouble adjacent components. It is perfectly possible to stack the T 557 on top of other components.

DISC LOADING AND PLAYBACK

There are two different disc sizes. Place the disc in the correct guide on the disc tray. If the disc is out of the guide, it may damage the disc and cause the T 557 to malfunction. “Check Disc” appears at the On-Screen Display (OSD) (“ERROR” at the VFD), if the disc is placed upside down (and it is a single sided disc).

The following are important tips when loading a disc

•Do not push the disc tray while it is moving. Doing so may cause the T 557 to malfunction.

•Do not push up the disc tray or put any objects other than discs on the disc tray. Doing so may cause the T 557 to malfunction.

• Keep your fingers well clear of the disc tray as it is closing. Be especially careful with children’s fingers around the closing disc tray, as there is a risk of personal injury.

Press [], the disc tray is automatically closed. Playback of the first track starts if a CD is loaded. For BD, DVD, USB or other disc media, playback operation is accessible through their menu screen.

NOTE

Do not move the T 557 during playback. Doing so may damage the disc and the T 557.

QUICK START

In case you simply cannot wait to experience the performance of your new NAD T 557, we provide the following “Quick Start” instructions to get you underway.

Please make all the connections to your T 557 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 BLU-RAY DISC

1Using a compatible HDMI connector, connect the T 557’s HDMI OUT to the corresponding HDMI input of your HDMI-compatible TV/monitor.

2Connect the supplied AC cord to the T 557 AC mains input and then plug into an AC outlet. Follow the same for your HDMI-compatible TV as applicable. Switch ON your TV and set it to the HDMI input where the T 557 is connected.

3Press the [OPEN/CLOSE] button to switch ON the T 557 and at the same time open the disc tray.

4Load the Blu-ray disc in the disc tray.

5 Press the front panel [PLAY/PAUSE] button or [ ] button of BR 2 remote control to close the disc tray and start playback. You should hear audio and see an image on the TV/monitor. If one or the other fails to appear, check your TV/monitor’s input settings or the T 557 audio/video connections.

Enjoy the movie but be sure to set aside time to read this manual thoroughly to set up and configure your T 557 according to your preference.
