The equipment draws its nominal non-operational power from the AC outlet with its POWER switch in the STANDBY position. CAUTION Changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by NAD Electronics for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment. CAUTION REGARDING PLACEMENT To maintain proper ventilation, be sure to leave a space around the unit (from the largest outer dimensions including projections) equal to, or greater than, shown below.
READ THIS BEFORE OPERATION • Choose the installation location of your unit carefully. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight or close to a source of heat. Also avoid locations subject to vibrations and excessive dust, heat, cold or moisture. • The ventilation holes should not be covered. Make sure there is at least 50 cm of space above and at least 10 cm of space beside the amplifier/receiver.
CONNECTING ANTENNAS Lead-type FM Antenna (75 ) provided Outdoor FM Antenna (75 ) Matching Transformer (optional) FM INDOOR ANTENNA In an area with strong FM signals, the “T”-type FM antenna provided is sufficient. Extend this into a “T” shape and connect the two wires at the base of the “T” to the provided matching transformer, as shown.
AM INDOOR LOOP ANTENNA The high-performance AM loop antenna provided with the receiver is sufficient for good reception in most areas. Connect the loop antenna’s wires to the AM antenna terminals as shown. Place the antenna on a shelf, for example, or hang it on a window frame, etc., in the direction which gives the best reception, as far away as possible from the entire system, speaker cords and the power cord, to prevent unwanted noise.
CONNECTING AUDIO EQUIPMENT CAUTION • Do not plug the power cord of any component into AC outlets and do not turn their POWER switches on until all connections have been performed. • The cable connectors should be fully inserted into the jacks. Loose connections may cause hum and noise.
DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL AND COAXIAL) • Connect the coaxial or optical digital input on CD or MiniDisk Recorder to the coaxial respectively optical Digital output of the L75. NOTES Do not connect both the coaxial and optical Digital Outputs to the corresponding Digital inputs on the same recording device.

This unit is provided with the following surround modes, which can be selected using the SURROUND MODE switches. Select the appropriate surround mode according to the program source.
AVAILABLE SURROUND MODES 3 STEREO Front speakers receive rear (surround) speaker signals in addition to front speakers signals. Center speaker works similarly as that of Dolby Pro Logic mode. In this way, you can enjoy playback sound having superior sound positioning. HALL SURROUND When playing recordings of live music, this mode provides a feeling similar to actually being in a concert hall.
The installation positions of speakers differ according to the size, and acoustics of the listening room. While actually listening to a program source, try various speaker positions to determine which layout provides the best surround effect. • Front speakers Place to the front left and right of the listening position. Front speakers are required for all surround modes.
