THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING NAD
The L53 A/V Stereo DVD Receiver is a technologically advanced and highly capable product-yet we have invested great effort in making it simple and
easy to use. The L53 delivers a range of genuinely useful options for Stereo and stereo listening alike, using powerful digital signal processing and
superbly accurate digital-audio circuitry. However, we have also been careful to ensure that the receiver is as musically transparent and spatially accurate
as possible, incorporating much of what we’ve learned from a quarter-century’s experience designing audio and home-theatre components. As with
all our products, NAD’s “Music First” design philosophy guided the L53’s design, such that it can confidently promise you both state-of-the-art surround
home-theatre and audiophile-quality music listening for years to come.
We encourage 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 L53, and get the most from this
powerful and flexible home-theatre component.
One more thing: We urge you to register your L53 ownership on the NAD Worldwide Web site:
