THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING NAD.

The M56 brings NAD's penchant for performance to the exciting new Blu-ray Disc format. This Profile 2.0 Blu-ray Disc Player brims with the latest features and offers for the first time a true High Definition source for digital Home Theater systems.

As with all our products, NAD's "Music First" design philosophy guided the M56's design in such a way that it can confidently promise you state-of-the-art visual fidelity and audiophile-quality music listening for years to come. We have been careful to ensure that the M56 is as musically transparent, faithful to every video detail and spatially accurate as possible, incorporating much of what we've learned from a quarter-century's experience designing audio, video and home-theater components.

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 M56.

One more thing: We urge you to register your M56 ownership on the NAD Worldwide Web site:

http://NADelectronics.com/warranty

For warranty information contact your local distributor.

GETTING STARTED

UNPACKING AND SETUP

WHAT'S IN THE BOX

Packed with your M56 you will find:

• An audio/video cable connector
  The M56 remote control with 2 (two) AA batteries
  A detachable AC power cord
  HDMI cable (European version model only)
• Nero MediaHome 4 Essentials CD-ROM Disc
  This owner's manual

SAVE THE PACKAGING

Please save the box and all of the packaging in which your M56 arrived. Should you move or otherwise need to transport your M56, this is by far the safest container in which to do so. We've seen too many otherwise perfect components damaged in transit for lack of a proper shipping carton, so please: Save that box!

CHOOSING A LOCATION

Choose a location that is well ventilated (with at least several inches to both sides and behind), and that will provide a clear line of sight, within 23 feet/7 meters, between the M56's front panel and your primary listening/viewing position. This will ensure reliable infrared remote control communications. The M56 generates a modest amount of heat, but nothing that should trouble adjacent components. It is perfectly possible to stack the M56 on top of other components.

DISC LOADING AND PLAYBACK

There are two different disc sizes. Place the disc in the correct guide on the disc tray. If the disc is out of the guide, it may damage the disc and cause the M56 to malfunction. "Check Disc" appears at the On-Screen Display (OSD) ("ERROR" at the VFD), if the disc is placed upside down (and it is a single sided disc).

The following are important tips when loading a disc

• Do not push the disc tray while it is moving. Doing so may cause the M56 to malfunction.
• Do not push up the disc tray or put any objects other than discs on the disc tray. Doing so may cause the M56 to malfunction.
• Keep your fingers well clear of the disc tray as it is closing. Be especially careful with children's fingers around the closing disc tray, as there is a risk of personal injury.

Press [▶], the disc tray is automatically closed. Playback of the first track starts if a CD is loaded. For BD, DVD, USB or other disc media, playback operation is accessible through their menu screen.

NOTE

Do not move the M56 during playback. Doing so may damage the disc and the M56.

QUICK START

In case you simply cannot wait to experience the performance of your new NAD M56, we provide the following "Quick Start" instructions to get you underway.

Please make all the connections to your M56 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.

PLAY A BLU-RAY DISC

1 Using a compatible HDMI connector, connect the M56's HDMI OUT to the corresponding HDMI input of your HDMI-compatible TV/monitor.

3 Set the POWER switch on the rear panel to the "ON" setting. The front panel Standby LED turns to amber and the M56 goes to standby mode.
4 Press the [OPEN/CLOSE] button to switch ON the M56 and at the same time open the disc tray.
5 Load the Blu-ray disc in the disc tray.
6 Press the front panel [PLAY/PAUSE] button or [▶] button of M56 remote control to close the disc tray and start playback. You should hear audio and see an image on the TV/monitor. If one or the other fails to appear, check your TV/monitor's input settings or the M56 audio/video connections.

Enjoy the movie but be sure to set aside time to read this manual thoroughly to set up and configure your M56 according to your preference.

REGION MANAGEMENT INFORMATION

The M56 is designed and manufactured to respond to the Region Management Information that is recorded on a DVD disc or Blu-ray disc. If the Region or BD code described on the disc does not correspond to the Region or BD code shown on the M56 rear panel, the M56 cannot play that disc. The disc tray automatically opens after the OSD briefly displays "This disc has been coded for Region _only and will not play in this machine. Please eject this disc and play only on a Region _player" (BD only) or "Check Regional Code"(DVD only)" when an incompatible Region or BD disc is loaded.

PLAYABLE DISCS

The M56 has exceptional playability. It has support for the following disc formats

• Blu-ray Disc (BD), BD-R/RE discs that contain audio titles, DivX, MP3, WMA or Photo files.
  DVD-Video, DVD±R, DVD±RW discs that contain audio titles, Movie, DivX, MP3, WMA or Photo files.
  Audio CD, CD-R/-RW discs that contain audio titles, DivX, MP3, WMA or Photo files.
• Advanced Video Codec High Definition (AVCHD) format discs.

AVCHD video format is recorded using the MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 video compression codec. It is a high definition digital video camera format used to record SD (standard definition) or HD (high definition) signals. The MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 format enables a HD video signal shot on a digital video camera recorder to be recorded on DVDs in the same way as that of SD television signal.

"AVCHD" and the "AVCHD" logo are trademarks of Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd. and Sony Corporation.

NOTES

• You cannot playback discs other than those listed above. To do so may render the M56 permanently inoperable.
• An AVCHD formatted disc will not play if it is not correctly finalized.
  Depending on the recording condition, some AVCHD format discs may not play.

ABOUT THE SYMBOL DISPLAY

"O" may appear on your TV display during operation. This indicates that the function you entered or try to execute is not available on that specific disc or file.

BD-ROM DISC FEATURES

BD-ROM (Blu-ray Disc Read-Only Memory) is a commercially produced disc and available in the same capacities as that of regular Blu-ray discs. Other than conventional movie and video contents, BD-ROM has enhanced features such as interactive content, menu operations, pop-up menus, subtitle selection, slideshow and other features.

BD-ROM Discs can store 25 GB (single layer) or 50 GB (dual layer) on a single sided disc - about 5 to 10 times the capacity of a DVD. BD-ROM Discs also support the highest quality HD video available in the industry (up to 1920 x 1080) - large capacity means no compromise on video quality. Furthermore, a BD-ROM disc has the same familiar size and look as DVD.

The following BD-ROM disc features are disc dependent and will vary. Appearance and navigation of features will also vary from disc to disc. Some features may not be available on some discs.

VIDEO HIGHLIGHTS

The BD-ROM format for movie distribution supports three highly advanced video codecs, includingMPEG-2, MPEG4 AVC (H.264), and SMPTE VC1. The 1920 × 1080 HD and 1280 × 720 HD video resolutions are also available.

HIGH-DEFINITION PLAYBACK

To view high-definition contents from BD-ROM discs, an HDTV is required. Some discs may require HDMI OUT for viewing of high-definition contents. Ability to view high-definition contents in BD-ROM discs maybe limited depending on the resolution of your TV.

GRAPHIC PLANES

Two individual full HD resolution (1920x1080) graphic planes (layers) are available on top of the HD video layer. One plane is assigned to video-related, frame accurate graphics (like subtitles), and the other plane is assigned to interactive graphic elements, such as buttons or menus. For both planes, various wipes, fades and scroll effects may be available.

MENUSOUND

When you highlight or select a menu option, sound can be heard such as button clicks or a voice-over explaining the highlighted menu choice.

MULTI-PAGE/POP-UP MENUS

With DVD-Video, playback is interrupted each time a new menu screen is accessed. Due to BD-ROM disc's ability to preload data from the disc without interrupting playback, a menu can consist of several pages. You can browse through the menu pages or select different menu paths, while the audio and video remain playing in the background.

INTERACTIVITY

Certain BD-ROM Discs may contain animated menus and/or trivia games.

USER BROWSABLE SLIDESHOWS

With BD-ROM Discs, you can browse through various still pictures while the audio remains playing.

SUBTITLES

Depending on what is contained on the BD-ROM disc, you may be able to select different font styles, sizes and colors for some subtitles. Subtitles may also be animated, scrolled or faded in and out.

BD-J INTERACTIVE CAPABILITY

The BD-ROM format supports Java for interactive functions. "BD-J" offer content providers almost unlimited functionality when creating interactive BD-ROM titles.

BD-ROM DISC COMPATIBILITY

The M56 supports BD-ROM Profile 2. Aside from the BONUSVIEW function, the M56 supports BD-Live (BD-ROM version 2 Profile 2) discs that allow usage of interactive functions when the M56 is connected to the internet.

The M56 is also compatible with discs supporting BONUSVIEW (BD-ROM version 2 Profile 1 version 1.1/Final Standard Profile) that enables Virtual packages or Picture-in-Picture functions.

NOTES
