Introduction

GETTING THE MOST FROM THE NAD L73

EASE OF USE

Despite the effort NAD has invested in the L73 receiver’s sonic performance, we expended no less in making it powerfully easy to use. Its design is uniquely simple for so sophisticated a component, and the HTR L73 universal remote control is equally understandable, as are the L73’s own front-panel and on- screen displays (OSD).

UPGRADABILITY

The L73 receiver permits flexible system growth via individually accessible 5.1 channel input for connectivity to products with integrated surround decoders.

See “Rear Panel (5.1 CH. INPUT)”.

ABOUT THE HTR L73 SYSTEM REMOTE CONTROL

Packed with your L73 is the NAD HTR L73 remote control, a full-system remote especially designed to be easy to use and easy to understand. Be sure to read the section “Using the HTR L73 Remote Control,” to familiarize yourself with the remote’s layout and operations before proceeding to setup your receiver.

Chances are, you will want to use your HTR L73 as your primary way to command your entire A/V system. The HTR L73 can be employed to operate additional NAD or other-brand components such as a second DVD/CD player, television, satellite/HDTV tuner, VCR, or virtually anything else that operates via standard infrared remote control.

QUICKSTART

In case you simply cannot wait to experience the performance of your new NAD L73 DVD/Receiver, we provide the following “Quickstart” instructions to get you underway. The steps below connect your L73 to a TV/monitor; be sure to read “Input Setup”.

PLAY A DVD MOVIE

•Connect the L73’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 L73’s “FRONT L and R” outputs, being sure to connect red to red (“+”) and black to black (“-”), with care to avoid stray wires or strands crossing between terminals. (Connect centre and surround speakers as well, if you like). If your system includes a powered subwoofer, connect the L73’s “SUBWOOFER PRE-OUT” jack to its line input.

•Plug the AC mains plug into the AC; the LED on the front panel will be lit blue indicating the L73 is in standby mode ready to accept commands from either the front panel power switch or the HTR L73 remote.

•To start playback of the DVD player; press the HTR L73 remote’s “DVD” Device Selector key, and then

its transport key “Open/Close” to select the DVD, insert the media and press the transport play key to start playing. You should hear multichannel or 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 L73’s Receiver or DVD on-screen menu systems to check assignment of audio and video inputs; see “Input Setup”.)

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 L73 carefully and completely.
