NAD M17 - INTRODUCTION; Getting Started Overview

THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING NAD.
The M17 AV Surround Sound Preamp Processor is a technologically advanced
and highly capable product — yet we have invested great eort in making it
simple and easy to use. The M17 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 M17 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 M17’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 M17, and get the most from this powerful
and exible home-theater component.
One more thing: We urge you to register your M17 ownership on the NAD
