EASE OF USE
Despite the effort NAD has invested in the L53 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 L53 universal remote control is equally understandable, as are the L53’s own front-panel and on-
screen displays (OSD).
ABOUT THE HTR L53 SYSTEM REMOTE CONTROL
Packed with your L53 is the NAD HTR L53 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 L53 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 L53 as your primary way to command your entire A/V system.
The HTR L53 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 L53 DVD/Receiver, we
provide the following “Quickstart” instructions to get you underway. The steps below connect your L53
to a TV/monitor; be sure to read “Input Setup”.
PLAY A CD OR DVD MOVIE
• Connect the L53’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 L53’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. If your system includes a powered subwoofer, connect the L53’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 L53 is in
standby mode ready to accept commands from either the front panel power switch or the HTR L53 remote.
• To start playback of the DVD player; press the HTR L53 remote’s “DVD” Device Selector button, and
then its transport button “OPEN/CLOSE” to select the DVD, insert the media and press the transport
play button to start playing. You should hear 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 L53’s 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 L53 carefully and completely.
