RECORD YOUR MODEL NUMBER NOW, WHILE YOU CAN SEE IT
The model and serial number of your new VISO FIVE are located on the
back of the cabinet. For your future convenience, we suggest that you
record these numbers here:
The VISO FIVE DVD Surround Sound Receiver is a technologically advanced
and highly capable product — yet we have invested great eort in making
it simple and easy to use. The VISO FIVE delivers a range of genuinely useful
options for surround sound and stereo listening, using powerful digital
signal processing and superbly accurate digital-audio circuitry. However,
we have also been careful to ensure that the VISO FIVE is as musically
transparent and spatially accurate as possible, incorporating much of
what we’ve learned from a quarter century’s experience designing audio
and home-theater components. As with all our products, NAD’s “Music
First” design philosophy guided the VISO FIVE’s design, such that it can
condently promise you both state-of-the-art surround home-theater 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 NAD VISO FIVE, and get the most from this
powerful and exible home-theater component.
One more thing: We urge you to register your VISO FIVE ownership on the
NAD Worldwide Web site:
http://NADelectronics.com/warranty
For warranty information contact your local distributor.
Though the VISO FIVE is among the most technically sophisticated DVD
Surround Sound Receivers, we worked hard to make it one of the most
musically transparent home-theater components available as well; this is what
we mean by NAD’s “Music First” design philosophy. Here are just few examples:
• High-performance components used throughout VISO FIVE’s analog
audio circuits to maximize quality from all sources, including multichannel analog sources such as DVD-Audio.
• The VISO FIVE has exceptional playability. It has support for DVD-Video,
DVD-R/-RW/+R/+RW, DVD-A, SVCD with or without PBC (Play Back
Control), VCD, DivX, Audio CD, CD-R/-RW and including recorded MP3,
copyright-protected WMA and JPEG les.
• An RS-232 port for advanced zone control and software update through
a Windows® compatible PC.
• Gold-surfaced connectors are employed throughout to ensure
maximum signal integrity.
E.A.R.S. AND DIGITAL SURROUND
A key element of the VISO FIVE’s unique musical aptitude is NAD’s
proprietary Enhanced Ambience Recovery System (EARS). In sharp contrast
to many “ambience-synthesis” music-surround modes, EARS exploits the
VISO FIVE’s substantial DSP power to route the ambient content that is
“encrypted” in virtually all natural-acoustic recordings to the appropriate
main, center and surround speakers, without resorting to articially
generated reections or regeneration. EARS’ natural ambience yields a
subtle but exceptionally eective surround mode that naturally enhances
the spatial presentation in a fashion suitable for serious music listening.
Dolby Pro Logic II Music and DTS Neo:6 Music modes can also create
enjoyable experience from 2-channel sources.
On the digital side, the VISO FIVE combines extraordinarily high-speed DSP
processing employing one of the most advanced high-speed DSP “engines”
available. A single, high-precision master clock synchronizes all digital
circuits to eliminate the timing errors (jitter) that otherwise compromise
sonics. The result is legitimately state-of-the-art surround decoding
from Dolby Digital and DTS sources, and 5.1-channel reproduction, with
genuinely superior sound quality in all modes.
RS 232
Flexible system conguration is possible with the RS-232 interface and
NAD’s proprietary Windows® compatible software. We are also certied
partners with AMX and Crestron and fully support these external devices.
This interface allows complete remote control of the VISO FIVE from any
remote location via the PC. Complete remote control functionality is
available to the user by interface software. See your NAD audio specialist for
further information.
UPGRADABILITY
The VISO FIVE permits exible system growth. We have made the more
likely scenario of software upgrades easy to accomplish via the high speed
RS-232 port on the rear panel (and in combination with the LOAD SW
switch also on the rear panel). Owners who register their VISO FIVE on
our international web site www.NADelectronics.com will be advised of
updates. Some of these may be free of charge, and some may require
royalty payments depending on the type of upgrade. The advanced user
will be able to perform these upgrades by downloading les from our web
site, via e-mail and installing them by connecting the VISO FIVE to a PC.
Alternatively the dealer from whom you purchased your VISO FIVE should
be able to assist in performing these upgrades.
ABOUT THE HTR 7 SYSTEM REMOTE CONTROL
Packed with your VISO FIVE is the NAD HTR 7 remote control, a full-system
remote especially designed for easy use and understanding. Be sure to
read the section “Using the HTR 7 Remote Control”, to familiarize yourself
with the remote’s layout and operations before proceeding to setup your
VISO FIVE. You may opt to use your HTR 7 as your primary way to command
your entire AV system. The HTR 7 can be employed to operate additional
NAD or other-brand components such as a DVD/CD player, television,
satellite/HDTV tuner, VCR, or virtually anything else that operates via
standard infrared remote.
EASE OF USE
Despite the eort NAD has invested in the VISO FIVE’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 HTR 7 universal
remote control is equally understandable, as are the VISO FIVE’s own frontpanel and on-screen displays.
INTRODUCTION
GETTING STARTED
WHAT’S IN THE BOX
Packed with your VISO FIVE you will nd
• An AM loop antenna.
• A FM ribbon-wire antenna with balun.
• A removable AC cable (if you wish, any IEC-standard AC cable of suitable

SAVE THE PACKAGING
Please save the box and all of the packaging in which your VISO FIVE
arrived. Should you move or otherwise need to transport your VISO FIVE,
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 VISO FIVE’s front panel and your primary
listening/viewing position—this will ensure reliable infrared remote control
communications. The VISO FIVE generates a modest amount of heat, but
nothing that should trouble adjacent components.

10 LOAD SW: For future software program updates, use this button
in combination with RS232 to upgrade the VISO FIVE. Owners who
register their VISO FIVE in our international website www.nadelectronics.
com will be advised of updates. Your custom installer or dealer can
assist you in the proper upgrade and setup of your VISO FIVE.
11 5.1 CH INPUT: Connect to the corresponding analog audio outputs
of a multichannel source component such as a DVD-Audio or external
multichannel decoder (disc copy protected formats only allow analog
signal transfer). The signals present at these jacks will be heard by rotating
the INPUT SELECTOR knob to select “Ext 5.1” as your source input.
There is no bass-management or other processing (other than master-
volume control) available to this 5.1 Channel Input. While the multichannel audio outputs of a DVD-Video player can be connected to
these jacks, using the VISO FIVE’s own Dolby Digital and DTS decoding
and digital-analog converters via a digital connection will usually
produce superior results.
12 HDMI OUT: Connect the HDMI OUT to a HDTV or projector with
HDMI input.
WARNING
Before connecting and disconnecting the HDMI cable, both the
VISO FIVE and the ancillary source must be powered OFF and unplugged
from the AC outlet. Failure to observe this practice may cause permanent
damage to the equipment connected via the HDMI socket.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
When playing DTS (or Dolby Digital) material, ensure that the volume of
your HDMI equipped TV is muted. There may be a rushing noise heard if
your TV is not capable of decoding the DTS (or Dolby Digital) Bitstream;
most TVs do not have this capability.
15 COAXIAL IN, OPTICAL IN: Connect to the optical or coaxial S/PDIF-
format digital output of sources such as CD or DVD players, HDTV or
satellite tuners and other components.
OPTICAL OUT: Connect the optical digital OUT port to the
corresponding S/PDIF digital input of a compatible device such as CD
recorders, receivers, computer soundcard or other digital processors.
16 FM, AM ANTENNA INPUT: The supplied wire “dipole” FM antenna will
connect to the FM connector using the supplied “balun” adapter. 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.
Connect the supplied AM loop antenna to these terminals. If an external
AM antenna is used, make connections to the AM and GND terminals
in accordance with the instructions supplied with the antenna. See also
section about “LISTENING TO AM/FM RADIO”.
17 IEC AC MAINS (POWER) INPUT: The VISO FIVE comes supplied with
a separate AC Mains cable. Before connecting the cable to a live wall
socket ensure that it is rmly connected to the VISO FIVE’s AC Mains
input socket rst. Always disconnect the AC Mains cable plug from the
live wall socket rst, before disconnecting the cable from the VISO FIVE’s
Mains input socket.
18 SWITCHED AC OUTLET: This convenience outlet can supply switched
power to another component or accessory. It is powered ON and OFF
by the front panel POWER SWITCH or by the HTR 7’s ON and OFF keys.
13 MP DOCK: The VISO FIVE is equipped with a data port in the rear panel
where an optional “NAD IPD 1 Dock with iPod” (NAD IPD 1) can be
plugged in. Connect the “MP DOCK (DATA PORT )” jack of the VISO FIVE
to the corresponding “DATA PORT” socket of the optional NAD IPD 1.
