GETTING THE MOST FROM THE NAD S170

Thank you for choosing NAD.

The S170 A/V Surround Sound Preamplifier is one of the most technologically advanced surround-audio processor/preamplifiers yet devised, incorporating advanced, ultra-high-speed 32-bit digital signal processing, an architecture that is fully upgradeable (in both hardware and software), and extraordinarily precise 24-bit precision/96 kHz-sampling digital-to-analog conversion for all channels.

More importantly, it is among the most musically transparent and spatially accurate designs available, the culmination of everything we've learned, over a quarter-century, about music and home-theater sound reproduction. With our company's "Music First" design philosophy as its guiding design principle, we're confident that the S170 will make good on our promise to you of delivering both a state-of-the-art surround home-theater experience, and genuinely audiophile-quality music listening, for many years to come.

We urge you to take a few minutes now to read right through this manual. Investing a little time here at the outset might save you a good deal of time later, and is by far the best way to ensure that you make the most of your investment in the NAD S170, and get the most from this powerful and flexible home- theater component.

One more thing: We urge you to register your S170 ownership on the NAD Worldwide Web site:

This is by far the best way to ensure that we at NAD world headquarters can inform you of possible future software and firmware updates, changes that might significantly enhance the performance and utility of your S170. Please also send in your warranty card, so that your local NAD organization will have a record of your purchase, and save your original purchase receipt. This will assure you of warranty service in your area.
