Owner`s manual

THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING NAD.
The M15 HD AV Surround Sound Preamplier is a technologically advanced and
highly capable product — yet we have invested great eort in making it simple
and easy to use. The M15 HD delivers a range of genuinely useful options
for surround sound 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 M15 HD is as musically transparent, faithful
to every video detail and spatially accurate as possible, incorporating much of
what we’ve learned from a quarter-century’s experience designing audio, video
and home-theater components. As with all our products, NAD’s “Music First”
design philosophy guided the M15 HD’s design, such that it can condently
promise you both state-of-the-art surround home-theater 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 M15 HD, and get the most from this
powerful and exible home-theater component.
One more thing: We urge you to register your M15 HD ownership on the
NAD Worldwide Web site:
