1SPEAKERS : Connect the left and right terminals 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.

NOTES

•Use stranded wire of at least 16-gauge (AWG); specialized speaker cable may be valuable (consult your NAD audio specialist). Connections to the L 54 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 speakers are rated to be 8 ohms minimum 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 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 L 54 (or a suitable replacement) is required for AM reception. Open the clip terminal lever; insert the wire making sure to match the color-coded (white and black) ends of the wire to that of the terminal and close the lever 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 L 54’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 L 54’s VCR Audio/Video OUT to these components’ record- input. (Make sure that SRS is set to OFF). Note that VCR may freely be used for play-only components, in which case their OUT 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).

6IR IN : This input is connected to the output of an IR (infrared) repeater (Xantech or similar) or the IR output of another component to allow control of the L 54 from a remote location. Ask your dealer or custom installer for further details.
