INSTALLATION UNPACKING Remove the NR Series unit from the shipping con- tainer and examine it for any signs of shipping damage or missing items (check inventory list below). All shipping materials should be saved if the unit is to be moved or returned for service. INSTALLATION The processor can be either placed on a table or rack mounted.
CONNECTIONS Because of the high performance of the NR Series unit it is very important to use the highest quality cables possible, for both input and output signals. Both the RGB BNC and the D15 Monitor output connections are active at all times and can run two displays simultaneously.

CPU Reset: push a small paper clip into this opening to reset the unit’s CPU. Note: Do not activate the CPU Reset without first contacting Faroudja technical support or your installer.
SYSTEM SETTINGS AND SETUP Setup offers functions that must be done when the unit is initially installed. Some user features are not available with a few of the Setup selections so this must be done first. To prevent accidental alteration of the setup parameters, some setup functions can only be done from the front panel or with the RS232 interface.
