Please make all connections to your L53 receiver 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.)

1 SPEAKERS: Connect the left and right 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. (See
Figure 1 above)
NOTE
• Use stranded wire of at least 16-gauge (AWG); specialized speaker
cable may be valuable (consult your NAD audio specialist).
Connections to the L53 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 front speakers are rated to be 8
Ohms min. 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 of to yield the clearest sound and lowest background
noise. In areas of difficult 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 L53 (or a
suitable replacement) is required for AM reception. Open the clip
terminal lever; insert the wire and close, ensuring that the lever locks
the wire in place. Testing different 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 L53’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 L53 S-Video/composite video OUT jacks to these
components’ record-input. (Note that VCR may freely be used for
play-only components, in which case their IN jacks would remain
unconnected.)
5 PRE-OUT SUBWOOFER: Connect this output to a powered
(“active”) subwoofer (or to a power amplifier channel driving a
passive system).
