Too often it seems that the industrial design has taken precedence over
sound quality. With the introduction of the L55 DVD/CD Player, NAD now
offers the level of performance associated with its highly acclaimed full-size
separates in an elegant, compact design.
Features
The L55 DVD/CD Player relies much on the work done for the NAD T550
DVD/CD Player, which, although only recently introduced, is already win-
ning accolades from inside and out of the industry.
NAD may be best known for the quality of its audio products, but the L55
will set standards when it comes to video. Instead of using the more com-
mon 8- or 9-bit Video Digital-to-Analogue converter, it uses a 10-bit con-
verter, which reproduces images, more vividly and with better detailing.
Besides superb performance, the NAD L55 also offers a wide range of facil-
ities such as Multi-Angle*; Multi-Sound*; Multi-Subtitle*; Frame; Zoom and
Repeat. All these facilities can be easily accessed with the supplied remote
control. Through the extensive yet intuitive On-Screen-Display you can
change the various settings and parameters for optimum performance.
Even though it's intended to be partnered with the L75 Surround Sound
Receiver, the L55 offers a range of different connection possibilities: The
colour component video outputs Y, Cr, Cb (120V version; North America
only) or the SCART RGB output (230V version) provide the best connec-
tion possible to the latest High-End video monitors and projectors.
Component Video Output and RGB outputs provide better video quality
compared to the traditional RCA Video Composite or even S-Video, also
present on the L55. Both optical and coaxial digital outputs are available to
transfer Dolby Digital, DTS or CD digital signals to a component with built-
in decoding, such as the cosmetically and technically NAD AV Receiver L75.
The L55 is stunning cosmetically and performance-wise. Superb as an indi-
vidual component, the end result becomes larger than just the sum of the
parts. Performance no longer needs to be compromised for elegance.
