INTRODUCTION
GETTING THE MOST FROM THE L 54
UNPACKING AND SETUP
WHAT’S IN THE BOX
Packed with your L 54 you will nd:
• An AM loop antenna
• An FM ribbon-wire antenna with balun
• The HTR 4 remote control with 4 (four) AAA batteries
• This owner’s manual
SAVE THE PACKAGING
Please save the box and all of the packaging in which your L 54 arrived. Should you move or otherwise
need to transport your L 54, this is by far the safest container in which to do so. We’ve seen too
many otherwise perfect components damaged in transit for lack of a proper shipping carton, so
please: Save that box!
CHOOSING A LOCATION
Choose a location that is well ventilated (with at least several inches to both sides and behind), and that
will provide a clear line of sight, within 25 feet/8 meters, between the L 54’s front panel and your primary
listening/viewing position. This will ensure reliable infrared remote control communications. The L 54
generates a modest amount of heat, but nothing that should trouble adjacent components. It is perfectly
possible to stack the L 54 atop other components, but the reverse usually should be avoided.
Nonetheless, it is generally preferable that the L 54 stands alone. It is especially important that
sucient ventilation be provided. If you are contemplating on locating the L 54 within a cabinet or other
furniture, consult your NAD audio/video specialist for advice on providing adequate airow.
QUICK START
In case you simply cannot wait to experience the performance of your new NAD L 54 DVD Receiver,
we provide the following “Quick Start” instructions to get you underway. Before the steps below,
connect your L 54 to a TV/monitor.
Please make all the connections to your L 54 with the unit unplugged. It is also advisable to power-
down or unplug all associated components while making or breaking any signal or AC power
connections.
PLAY A CD OR DVD MOVIE
• Connect the L 54’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 L 54’s “L” and “R” outputs. Make 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 L 54’s “SUBWOOFER PRE-OUT”
jack to its line input.
• Plug the AC mains plug into the AC outlet; the LED on the front panel will be illuminated blue
indicating the L 54 is in standby mode ready to accept commands from either the front panel
power switch or the HTR 4 remote.
• To start playback of the DVD player; press “DVD” at the HTR 4 remote’s Device Selector section and
then “OPEN/CLOSE” button.
• Insert the media and press [PLAY] button to start playback. 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 L 54’s on-screen menu system to check assignment of audio and video inputs (See section on
“Video Out” under the heading “Operation.”)
Enjoy the movie or music, but be sure to set aside time to read this manual thoroughly, and to set up,
calibrate, and congure your L 54 carefully and completely.
