Getting The Most From The Nad S170I - NAD S170iAV Owner's Manual

GETTING THE MOST FROM THE NAD S170i

THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING NAD.
The S170i A/V Surround Sound Preamplifier is one of the most technologically advanced surround-
processor/preamplifiers yet devised, incorporating advanced, ultra-high-speed 32-bit digital signal
processing, an architecture that is fully upgradeable (in both hardware and software), and extraordinarily
precise 24-bit precision/96 kHz-sampling digital-to-analog conversion for all channels.
More importantly, it is among the most musically transparent and spatially accurate designs available, the
culmination of everything we've learned, over a quarter-century, about music and home-theater
reproduction. With our company's "Music First" design philosophy as its guiding design principle, we're
confident that the S170i will make good our promise to you of delivering both a state-of-the-art surround
home-theater experience, and a genuinely audiophile-quality music listening, for many years to come.
We urge you to take a few minutes now to read right through this manual. Investing a little time now, 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 NAD S170i, and get the most from this powerful and flexible home
theater component.
One more thing: We urge you to register your S170i ownership on the NAD Worldwide Web site:
HTTP://NADELECTRONICS.COM/W/REGISTRATION.HTML
This is by far the best way to ensure that we at NAD world headquarters can inform you of possible future
software and firmware updates, changes that might significantly enhance the performance and utility of your
S170i. Please also send in your warranty card, so that your local NAD organization will have a record of your
purchase, and save your original purchase receipt. This will assure you of warranty service in your area.
