1 SPEAKERS : Connect the left and right terminals to the corresponding
loudspeakers. Each output’s “+” (red) terminal and “-” (black) terminal
must be connected to the corresponding “+” and “-” terminals of the
loudspeaker. Use extra care to ensure that no stray wires or strands cross
between posts or terminals at either end.
NOTES
• Use stranded wire of at least 16-gauge (AWG); specialized speaker cable
may be valuable (consult your NAD audio specialist). Connections to the
L 54 can be made with banana-type plugs, or using bare wire, or pins, by
loosening the terminal’s plastic nut, making a clean, neat connection, and
re-tightening carefully (use the transverse hole through the post for bare-
wire or pin connections). To minimize the danger of short-circuits, ensure
that only 1/2-inch of exposed wire or pin is employed in connecting.
• This unit is designed to produce optimum sound quality when
connected to speakers with impedances within the receiver’s operating
range. Please check that speakers are rated to be 8 ohms minimum per
speaker.
2 FM ANTENNA : The supplied wire “dipole” FM antenna will connect to
the FM connector using the supplied “balun” adaptor. It will usually work
best when mounted on a vertical surface such as a wall, with arms fully
outstretched forming a horizontal “T” perpendicular to the origin point
of the signal. Experiment with placement and orientation to yield the
clearest sound and lowest background noise.
In areas of dicult FM reception, an external FM antenna can yield
dramatic gains in quality; consult your NAD audio specialist or a
professional antenna installer.
3 AM ANTENNA : The AM loop antenna supplied with the L 54 (or
a suitable replacement) is required for AM reception. Open the clip
terminal lever; insert the wire making sure to match the color-coded
(white and black) ends of the wire to that of the terminal and close the
lever ensuring that the lever locks the wire in place. Testing dierent
positions for the antenna may improve reception; vertical orientation
will usually produce the best results. Antenna proximity to large metal
objects (appliances, radiators) may impair reception, as will attempts to
lengthen the wire to the loop.
NOTE
An external AM antenna can improve long distance reception
substantially; consult your NAD audio specialist or a professional
antenna installer. Do not connect anything other than a loop antenna
to the AM ANTENNA terminal.
4 CABLE/SAT & VCR : These comprise the L 54’s principal inputs.
Connect S-Video, composite video, and analog stereo audio from
source components such as HDTV/satellite tuners. VCR may be used
with recording components such as videocassette or DVD-recorders.
Connect the L 54’s VCR Audio/Video OUT to these components’ record-
input. (Make sure that SRS is set to OFF). Note that VCR may freely be
used for play-only components, in which case their OUT jacks would
remain unconnected.
5 PRE-OUT SUBWOOFER : Connect this output to a powered (“active”)
subwoofer (or to a power amplier channel driving a passive system).
6 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 L 54 from a remote location. Ask your dealer or custom
installer for further details.

ATTENTION!
Please make all the connections to your L 54 with the unit unplugged. It is also advisable to power down or unplug all associated components while making
or breaking any signal or AC power connections.
