THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING NAD
The C 717 DVD Receiver is a technologically advanced and highly capable product - yet we have invested great eort in making it simple and easy to use. The C 717 delivers a range of genuinely useful options for stereo listening using powerful digital signal processing and superbly accurate digital-audio circuitry. However, we have also been careful to ensure that the C 717 is as musically transparent and spatially accurate as possible, incorporating much of what we’ve learned from a quarter-century’s experience designing audio, video and home-theatre components. As with all our products, NAD’s “Music First” design philosophy guided the C 717’s design, such that it can condently promise you both state-of-the-art surround home-theatre and audiophile-quality music listening for years to come.
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 C 717, and get the most from this powerful and exible home-theatre component.
One more thing: We urge you to register your C 717 ownership on the NAD Worldwide Web site:

GETTING STARTED
UNPACKING AND SETUP
WHAT’S IN THE BOX
Packed with your C 717 you will nd:
An AM loop antenna
An FM lead-type antenna
The SR 9 remote control with 2 (two) AAA batteries
This owner’s manual
SAVE THE PACKAGING
Please save the box and all of the packaging in which your C 717 arrived. Should you move or otherwise need to transport your C 717, 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 C 717’s front panel and your primary listening/viewing position. This will ensure reliable infrared remote control communications. The C 717 generates a modest amount of heat, but nothing that should trouble adjacent components. It is perfectly possible to stack the C 717 atop other components, but the reverse usually should be avoided.
Nonetheless, it is generally preferable that the C 717 stands alone. It is especially important that sucient ventilation be provided. If you are contemplating locating the C 717 within a cabinet or other furniture, consult your NAD audio/ video specialist for advice on providing adequate airow.
QUICK START
In case you simply cannot wait to experience the performance of your new NAD C 717 DVD Receiver, we provide the following “Quick Start” instructions to get you underway. Before the steps below, connect your C 717 to a TV/monitor.
Please make all the connections to your C 717 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 CD OR DVD MOVIE 1 Connect the C 717’s “VIDEO OUT ” jack to your TV/monitor’s
corresponding input.
2 Connect your left and right front speakers to the C 717’s “L” and “R”
outputs. Make sure to connect red to red (“+”) and black to black (“-”) with care to avoid stray wires or strands crossing between terminals. If your system includes a powered subwoofer, connect the C 717’s “SUBW OUT” jack to its line input.
3 Plug the AC mains plug into the AC outlet; The Standby LED on the
front panel will be illuminated amber indicating the C 717 is in standby mode ready to accept commands from either the front panel Standby switch or the SR 9 remote control.
4 Press the STANDBY button to turn ON the C 717. The Standby LED
indicator will turn from amber to blue and illuminate the Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD).
5 To start playback of the internal DVD player; press “DVD” at the SR 9 remote’s
DEVICE SELECTOR section and then, press [OPEN/CLOSE] button.
6 Insert the media and press [ ] button to start playback. You should
hear stereo sound, and see an image on the TV/monitor. If one or the other fails to appear, you may need to use either the C 717’s on-screen menu system to check assignment of audio and video inputs (Refer also to the item about VIDEO OUT under the USING THE C 717’s INTERNAL DVD PLAYER - SETUP MENU section of the OPERATION page).
Enjoy the movie or music, but be sure to set aside time to read this manual thoroughly, and to set up, calibrate, and congure your C 717 carefully and completely.
ABOUT THE C 717
Though the C 717 is among the most technically sophisticated integrated Stereo DVD receivers, we worked hard to make it one of the most musically transparent home-theatre components available as well - this is what we mean by NAD’s “Music First” design philosophy. Here are just a few examples:
High-performance components used throughout the C 717’s analog
audio circuits to maximize quality from all sources.
The C 717 incorporates a high quality DVD player with exceptional
playability. It has support for DVD Video, DVD±R, DVD±RW, VCD/SVCD with playback control (PBC), Audio CD and CD-R/CD-RW that contains audio titles, DivX, MP3, WMA and JPEG les.
Gold-surfaced connectors are employed throughout to ensure
maximum signal integrity.
EASE OF USE
Despite the eort NAD has invested in the C 717’s sonic performance, we expended no less in making it powerfully easy to use. Its design is uniquely simple for so sophisticated a component, and the SR 9 remote control is equally understandable, as are the C 717’s own front panel and on-screen displays (OSD).
DEALING WITH HUM AND NOISE
Hum and noise sometimes may prove a challenge in audio systems. Note these considerations to help prevent hum and noise problems:
Power all your system’s audio component from AC outlets originating
from the same circuit of your house wiring. As far as possible, power all audio components from the same outlet, or adjacent outlets on the same circuit. It may be useful to power video displays (and computers!) from outlets on another circuit, especially if that circuit is supplied from the other “leg” of the house wiring.
Do not bundle analog audio cables with AC power cables, or with
coaxial digital-audio cables. It is best if they cross at right angles if they must be in close proximity.
Employ high-quality, well-shielded audio cable throughout, and ensure
that all connections are secure.
A pencil-eraser can be used to burnish copper- and gold-plated
contacts to ensure good, low-resistance contact; specialized contact­cleaners can also be useful. Avoid unnecessary unplugging and re-plugging since the gold (or copper) contact plating of typical cable connectors, even very high-quality ones, is very thin and easily worn.
Track down hum/noise problems one component at a time, working backwards from the C 717. That is:
1 Connect the speakers to the C 717 only, and check for hum. 2 Then connect one component only (a CD player, for example) alone,
with no other components connected and check for hum.
3 Connect additional components, one at a time, to the C 717 and check
for hum.
At each stage, if hum/noise appears, examine the audio cabling and AC­power routing of the new component. In some cases, moving the new component’s AC cord to a dierent outlet, or installing a ground-lift (3-to-2­prong adapter) on its power cord, will eliminate the hum.

1 PHONES: Accepts stereo headphone using a standard 1/8-inch stereo
phone plug. Plugging in your headphone automatically mutes output from the speakers and subwoofer output (but not from the VCR OUT jacks of the VCR). The VFD will show “H/P ON” when you headphone is plugged in to this jack and “H/P OUT” when unplugged.
2 STANDBY LED: This indicator will light up amber when the C 717
is in standby state. When the C 717 is at ON state, this indicator will illuminate blue. This indicator will extinguish itself when the power cable is unplugged from the AC supply.
3 STANDBY: Press this button to switch ON the C 717. The Standby
LED indicator will turn from amber to blue and illuminate the Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD). Pressing the Standby button again turns the unit back to standby mode. It is usual (and perfectly acceptable) to leave the C 717 in standby mode in between normal viewing and listening sessions.
The C 717 can also be switched ON from standby mode by pressing [OPEN/CLOSE] or [PLAY/PAUSE] buttons on the front panel as well as on the remote control.
If the disc tray is open and the Standby button is pressed, the disc tray will draw close and the C 717 goes to standby mode.
Note that when you do choose to switch o to standby mode using the front panel Standby button, the C 717’s memory back-up system will store tuner preset and other settings for several weeks while the unit is switched o.
5 DISC TRAY: With the DISC TRAY open, insert a DVD, CD or other
compatible media disc face down onto the tray. If the disc is placed upside down and it is a single sided disc or there is no disc loaded, “NO DISC” appears on both the C 717’s VFD and the TV/Monitor screen.
6 OPEN/CLOSE: Press this button to open and close the disc tray and
simultaneously select the internal DVD player. When in standby mode, this button will also power ON the C 717 and at the same time open the disc tray.
7 PLAY/PAUSE: This dual-function button alternates between starting
and stopping playback. Press this button to toggle between Play and Pause of a DVD, CD or other compatible media disc. Press to start play or resume play after Pause. If the disc tray is open, press this button to automatically close the tray and start playback if a disc is loaded.
During playback, press this button to stop playback temporarily, keeping the optical pickup at its current position on the disc. To resume playback at the exact point where it stopped, press [PLAY/PAUSE] again.
8 STOP: During playback, press this button to stop and at the same time
pause playback of disc – “PRESS PLAY TO CONTINUE” or “STOP” will be briey displayed in the OSD and “RESUME” in the VFD. If [STOP] button is pressed consecutively during playback, disc playback will fully stop.
9 TIMER: In combination with the [SCROLL/PUSH/ENTER] knob, toggle
this button to cycle through the following timer modes:
Time Timer SLEEP
4 SOURCE: Toggle to select desired Source as follows
Internal DVD Internal FM tuner Internal AM tuner TV VCR then back to Internal DVD.
