Thank you for your purchase. The NAD VISO speakers are designed to deliver high performance in many uses, and we hope they add much enjoyment to your listening life. I. QUICK START A. Attach the supplied adhesive backed bumpers near the corners of the LR5’s and C20’s bottom surface to protect the finish of speakers and furnishings. B. Position LR5 speakers as symmetrically as possible, at a comfortable distance from your seating position—slightly closer to each other than they are to you.

II. MORE ON SPEAKER POSITIONING A. Main Speakers The three factors to adjust according to your own tastes—keeping in mind that you are the judge and the one(s) to be satisfied-are: 1. The closer you place speakers to room surfaces, the greater the proportion of bass in their sound, because of the “focusing” effects of nearby surfaces on lower, longer-wavelength frequencies.

horizontally and vertically. If you prefer the surround effect to be more diffused rather than pinpointed, aiming the speakers somewhat away from your ears probably will be more satisfying. You may want even to place them to reflect their sound off the sides or rear of you room rather than have them radiate toward you.

something with steady low frequencies (such as organ music) or continuous test tones, not movie material. Move around the room and note where the bass sounds best; if you place the subwoofer there and yourself in your chair, you should get the same bass performance. Bear in mind that the test only works if you have your ears as high off the floor as the subwoofer will be, so don’t be afraid to crawl around.

Then by adjusting again the subwoofer level on the VISO receiver, set the desired bass level. G. Subwoofer LED Indicator When the LED is red this indicates a stand-by mode.

VI. IN CASE OF PROBLEMS A. If a speaker begins to sound distorted, or seems to be missing certain frequencies, check first to see whether playing at somewhat lower volume seems to clear up the problem. It can be especially important to turn down the volume right away if you have pushed an amplifier or receiver past its comfortable limits. B. Determine if the problem is the speakers, the electronics, or the wire connections.

disconnect and connect the subwoofer input signal. If the subwoofer power indicator color changes to green, the VISO receiver may not be sending a signal to the subwoofer. Ensure the VISO receiver is correctly configured to provide signal at the subwoofer output. Sounds distorted Lower volume if the subwoofer begins to sound distorted to determine if playback at a lower level solves the problem.
