Introduction THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING NAD The L 54 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 L 54 delivers a range of genuinely useful options for stereo listening using powerful digital signal processing and superbly accurate digital-audio circuitry.
Introduction GETTING THE MOST FROM THE L 54 ENGLISH UNPACKING AND SETUP WHAT’S IN THE BOX Packed with your L 54 you will find: • 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 FRANÇAIS 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.
Introduction ENGLISH GETTING THE MOST FROM THE L 54 ABOUT THE L 54 FRANÇAIS Though the L 54 is among the most technically sophisticated integrated Stereo DVD receivers, we worked hard to make it one of the most musically transparent home-theatre components available as well - this is what we mean by NAD’s “Music First” design philosophy. Here are just a few examples: • High-performance components used throughout the receiver’s analog audio circuits maximize quality from all sources.

It is powered on and off by the front panel POWER button (or the HTR 4’s ON and OFF buttons).The total draw of all devices connected to this jack must not exceed 100 watts.
Setup SETTING UP THE L 54 ENGLISH GETTING STARTED Before you make the first connection to your L 54, you should have the arrangement of your listening room/home theater components and furniture mapped out, at least initially. Unfortunately, a discussion of the vital questions of loudspeaker placement and listening/viewing positions is beyond our scope here.
Setup ENGLISH SETTING UP THE L 54 ABOUT THE ON-SCREEN DISPLAY (OSD) The L 54 employs a self-explanatory on-screen display “menu” for the internal DVD player. This “menu” will appear on the connected video monitor/TV and is required during the setup process (useful in day-to-day operation), so be sure to connect the monitor/TV before proceeding with setup. DISPLAYING THE L 54 DVD OSD FRANÇAIS While in DVD mode, press the L 54’s “SETUP/MEMORY” button momentarily for the DVD’s Setup Menu OSD to appear.
Setup SETTING UP THE L 54 ENGLISH DYNAMIC RANGE CONTROL (DRC) You can select the effective dynamic range (subjective range from soft to loud) for playback of Dolby 2.0 soundtracks. Settings of 25%, 50% and 75% progressively reduce dynamic range, making soft sounds comparatively louder while limiting the peak loudness of loud ones. The 100% setting is best for late-night sessions or other times when you wish to retain maximum dialog intelligibility while minimizing overall volume levels.
Operation ENGLISH USING THE L 54 You may operate the L 54 DVD Receiver from its front panel or via the HTR 4 remote control. Since the remote will be the primary controller for most cases, we will focus on remote-controlled operations. Be sure also to read the section, “Front Panel”. REGION MANAGEMENT INFORMATION FRANÇAIS The L 54’s internal DVD Player is designed and manufactured to respond to the Region Management Information that is recorded on a DVD disc.
Operation USING THE L 54’S INTERNAL DVD PLAYER – SETUP MENU ENGLISH OSD NAVIGATION The L 54’s internal DVD player employs a simple, self-explanatory system of on-screen display “menus” that will appear on the connected video monitor/TV. These are required during the setup process (and are useful in day-to-day operation), so be sure to connect the monitor/TV before proceeding with setup.

Configurable punch-through. Key illumination with programmable timeout. Upgradable. Contains pre-programmed library of NAD remote codes. FRANÇAIS • • • • • • • • The NAD HTR 4 is ready to operate the L 54 right out of the box, but it is really eight remotes in one.
Operation USING THE HTR 4 REMOTE CONTROL ENGLISH LEARNING CODES FROM OTHER REMOTES FRANÇAIS Begin by positioning the HTR 4 “nose-to-nose” with the source remote so the two devices’ infrared windows are about 2 inches apart. • Enter Learning Mode: On the HTR 4, simultaneously press-and-hold for 3 seconds both a Device Selector key and the key until the Learn LED at the center of the HTR 4 turns steady green. • Press the HTR 4’s function key you wish to teach a command; the Learn LED will turn amber.
Operation ENGLISH USING THE HTR 4 REMOTE CONTROL MACRO COMMANDS A “macro” command is a series of two or more remote codes issued automatically from a single keypress. You might use a macro to automate a simple command sequence, such as, “Turn on the DVD player and then press ‘play.’” Or you might compose an elaborate macro to power up an entire system, select a source, choose a Listening Mode, and begin playback—again, all from a single keypress.
Operation USING THE HTR 4 REMOTE CONTROL ENGLISH BUTTON ILLUMINATION TIMEOUT The HTR 4’s key-illumination can be set to remain lit for 0-9 seconds. The default value is 2 seconds. To set the illumination timeout, simultaneously press-and-hold for 3 seconds both the HTR 4’s [DISP] and the [0-9] key, with the digit corresponding to the desired timeout duration; the Learn LED will flash twice to confirm the new setting.

FRANÇAIS Begin by ensuring that the component you wish the HTR 4 to control is plugged in and powered-up (“on,” not merely in standby).
Operation USING THE HTR 4 REMOTE CONTROL ENGLISH CHECKING CODE-LIBRARY NUMBER You can check the current code-library on any Device Selector key as follows. Enter Library Mode by simultaneously pressing-and-holding for 3 seconds both the desired component’s Device Selector key and the [PROGRAM] key until the Learn LED turns green.
