ATTENTION!
Please make sure that the M15 HD is powered off or unplugged from the mains power source before making any connections. It is also advisable to power
down or unplug all associated components while making or breaking any signal or AC power connections.
1 AUDIO 1-7 IN/VIDEO 1-4 IN/S-VIDEO 1-4 IN
• These comprise the M15 HD's other sets of principal input. Connect
these audio and video input ports to corresponding output ports of
compatible source components such as DVD players, CD players or
cable/satellite boxes.
• AUDIO 6 IN and AUDIO 7 IN are ideal for the connection of the
analog output of line-level audio sources like a CD player or Stereo
tuner.
• AUDIO 4 IN and S-VIDEO 4 IN are the assigned default ports for the
audio/video output of the separately sold NAD IPD (NAD IPD Dock
for iPod) 1, NAD IPD 2 and later variants.
• The Left Channel of AUDIO 1 IN is the assigned port where the
supplied 3.5mm female jack to RCA plug Adapter can be connected.
Plug in the Audyssey microphone into the adapter for Audyssey
Auto Calibration.
AUDIO 3-4 OUT/S-VIDEO 3 OUT
• Connect AUDIO 3 OUT/S-VIDEO 3 OUT (and/or AUDIO 4 OUT) to
corresponding recording components or audio/video input ports
of compatible sources like cassette deck, CD/DVD recorder or
outboard audio processors.
• The signal present at AUDIO 3 OUT/S-VIDEO 3 OUT is determined
by the current source selected. There will be no output at AUDIO 3
OUT/S-VIDEO 3 OUT when AUDIO 3 is selected. Likewise, there will
be no output at AUDIO 4 OUT when AUDIO 4 is the active source
input. This prevents feedback through the recording component
thereby preventing possible damage to your speakers.
• When configured, AUDIO 3 OUT and AUDIO 4 OUT are the same
assigned ports for Zone 3 and Zone 4 respectively. See also Zone
output description below.

2 ZONE 2-3-4
• The M15 HD has three configurable Zones – Zone 2, Zone 3 and
Zone 4. The Zone feature allows one to simultaneously experience
in a different zone or location of the house a Source assigned to a
particular zone.
• Sends zone selected audio and video output source to the
corresponding audio and video input of another zone. Use high
quality patch cables to reduce noise pickup over long distance runs.
• For a better understanding of zone settings, study below the section
about "Zone Controls" of the "Main Menu" discussion as well as the
item about "Zone Setup" under the "Setup Menu" literatures.
NOTE
"Zone 4" is audio only and not associated with any video input sources.
3 EXTERNAL 7.1 INPUT
• Connect to the corresponding analog audio output of a
multichannel source component such as a DVD-Audio or
multichannel-SACD player or external multichannel decoder (disc
copy protected formats only allow analog signal transfer). Typically,
these sources will produce 5.1-channel output, in which case the
Surround Back jacks are left unconnected. The signal present at
these jacks can be heard by selecting Source 7 (EXTERNAL 7.1 INPUT
is defaulted to this Source).
• There is no bass-management or other processing (other than
master-volume control) available to this 7.1 channel input.
• While the multichannel audio output of a DVD/BD player can be
connected to these jacks, using the M15 HD's own Dolby Digital and
DTS decoding and digital-analog converters via a digital connection
will usually produce superior results.
