GETTING THE MOST FROM THE NAD S170i THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING NAD.

ABOUT THE S170i Though the S170i A/V preamp is among the most powerful and sophisticated digital-surround decoder/processors available, we worked hard to make it one of the most musically transparent home- theater components as well; this is what we mean by NAD’s “Music First” design philosophy. Here are just a few examples: • The S170i employs the latest, most sonically pure high-performance FET components throughout its analog audio circuits • Exceedingly low output impedance from all channels

ENGLISH FRANÇAIS DEUTSCH ESPAÑOL ITALIANO PORTUGUÊS SVENSKA ABOUT THE S170i UPGRADABILITY A unique feature of the S170i is its modular construction. All of the S170i’s “intelligence” is located on a single plug in module. This sophisticated architecture simplifies servicing, and makes future upgrading a possibility. Because of the extraordinary processing speed and power of the S170i, we frankly do not foresee the possible need for hardware upgrades at this time. Never-the-less, it’s nice to kno

ABOUT THE ON-SCREEN DISPLAYS (OSD) AND FRONT-PANEL READOUT The S170i preamplifier employs a simple, self-explanatory system of on-screen display “menus” that will appear on the system’s video monitor/TV, useful both during setup and in day-to-day operation. While the OSDs are always helpful, it is also perfectly possible to operate (or even set up) the S170i without them, because the same basic data is always shown, though sometimes in shortened format, on the preamp’s own front-panel readout.

CONFIGURING THE S170i SPEAKER SETUP Every surround-sound system requires “bass-management” to direct low-frequency content from any or all channels to the speakers best able to reproduce it. In order for this function to operate correctly, it is very important that you correctly identify your speakers’ capabilities. We use the terms “Small” and “Large” (and “No”), but note that physical size may be irrelevant. •A “Small” speaker is any model without significant deep-bass response, that is, below
