THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING NAD
The L70 A/V Surround Sound DVD Receiver is a technologically advanced and highly capable product-yet we have invested great effort in making it
simple and easy to use. The L70 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 receiver is as musically transparent and
spatially accurate as possible, incorporating much of what we’ve learned from a quarter-century’s experience designing audio and home-theatre
components. As with all our products, NAD’s “Music First” design philosophy guided the L70’s design, such that it can confidently promise you both
state-of-the-art surround home-theatre 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 NAD L70, and get the most from this
powerful and flexible home-theatre component.
One more thing: We urge you to register your L70 ownership on the NAD Worldwide Web site:
