1 LOCAL AREA NETWORK (LAN) PORT:

Using a commercially available

straight LAN cable (Category 5/CAT5 or better with RJ45 connector),
connect this LAN port to the corresponding port of your modem or router.
By connecting the M56 to broadband internet, you can playback a disc that
offers BD-Live function. Refer also to the “NETWORK SETUP MENU” section
of “USING THE M56” under the “OPERATION” main heading.

NOTES

• NAD is not responsible for any malfunction of the M56 and/or the

internet connection due to communication errors or malfunctions
associated with your broadband internet connection or other connected
equipment. Contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP) for assistance or
the service bureau of your other equipment.

• Contact your ISP for policies, charges, content restrictions, service

limitations, bandwidth, repair and other related issues pertinent to
internet connectivity.

• Some disc related material available through internet may not be

compatible with the M56. Contact the producer of the disc for questions
about such content availability or compatibility.

2 HDMI OUT:

Using a HDMI cable (supplied only for European version

model), connect the HDMI OUT jack to the corresponding HDMI input jack
of a compatible equipment like a HDTV, a projector or an A/V Receiver.

Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus and DTS-HD Master Audio are
supported with maximum 7.1 channels when HDMI OUT is the selected
audio output port. Make sure to connect to an amplifier or receiver with
a built-in (Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital
Plus, DTS-HD Master Audio and other applicable formats) decoder to
playback applicable multichannel audio formats.

WARNING

Before connecting and disconnecting any HDMI cables, both the M56
and the ancillary source must be powered OFF and unplugged from the
AC outlet. Failure to observe this practice may cause permanent damage
to all equipment connected via HDMI sockets.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

If your HDMI equipped TV is not capable of decoding DTS or Dolby
Digital Bitstream, set the M56’s HDMI or SPDIF setting at the “Audio
Setup Menu” to “PCM Stereo”. There may be a rushing noise heard if your
TV is not capable of decoding the DTS (or Dolby Digital) Bitstream; most
TVs do not have this capability.

3 DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (COAXIAL, OPTICAL):

The digital playback

audio output signal is available at these ports. Connect the optical or
coaxial digital OUT ports to the corresponding S/PDIF digital input of an
amplifier, receiver, computer soundcard or other digital processors.

4 AUDIO OUT:

This analog audio output can be connected to the

corresponding analog audio input of a compatible equipment like an
amplifier, receiver, TV or stereo system.

5 COMPONENT VIDEO OUT:

Connect to the corresponding component

video input of a compatible equipment like a monitor/television,
projector, A/V receiver or processor. Be sure to observe consistency in
connecting the appropriate Y, Pb, Pr jacks to the corresponding sources/
inputs. Do not rely purely on the color coding of the jacks, which may
not always be consistent among brands.

6 VIDEO OUT:

Connect to the corresponding composite video input of

a compatible monitor/television, projector, A/V receiver or processor
using quality dual-RCA cable designed for video signals.

7 7.1 CHANNEL AUDIO OUTPUT:

The M56 contains a multi-channel

decoder. It enables playback of discs recorded in multi-channel
surround without the need for an optional decoder. Connect to the
corresponding multi-channel audio input of a receiver or a processor.

8 IR IN:

This input is connected to the output of an IR (infrared) repeater

(Xantech or similar) or the IR output of another component to allow
control of the M56 from a remote location. Most NAD products with IR
OUT are fully compatible with the M56.

9 AC MAINS INPUT:

The M56 comes supplied with a separate AC Mains

cable. Before connecting the cable to a live wall socket, ensure first
that it is firmly connected to the M56’s AC Mains input socket. Always
disconnect the AC Mains cable plug from the live wall socket first,
before disconnecting the cable from the M56’s Mains input socket.

10 POWER SWITCH:

The POWER switch supplies the master AC mains

power for the M56. When this switch is at ON position, the M56 is in
standby mode as shown by the amber status condition of the standby
LED. Toggle the front panel’s STANDBY button to switch ON the M56 or
back to standby mode. If you intend not to use the M56 for long periods
of time (such as when on vacation), switch OFF the POWER switch.
The front panel STANDBY button or M56 remote control’s [ON] button
cannot activate the M56 when the POWER switch is switched OFF.

ATTENTION!

Please make sure that the M56 is powered off or unplugged 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.
