The compact and elegant DVD-Receiver
NAD S717
NAD English company introduced the DVD-S717 receiver, which allows you to create a home theater or stereo system in a small space. The company’s specialists managed to conclude in an elegant, compact casing is a revolutionary design the high quality of its separate components. The result was a best option for the second zone, where the placement of standard components is not possible – for kitchen, office, bedroom and children’s rooms.
NAD S717 – completely self-sufficient audio-video system. It is equipped with a TV tuner AM / FM with memory for 30 stations: 20 in the FM band and 10 – AM. Three video – SCART-(RGB), component and composite – allow to connect any TV. Two stereo inputs (RCA) are designed to connect your VCR, TV or other analog sources. Digital Out (Optical) allows you to connect to another receiver, CD-recorder and / or computer. There is a way for fans of a powerful subwoofer for bass.
DVD-receiver plays all the latest formats: DVD-Video, VCD, SVCD, CD, CD-R, CD-RW, MP3, J-PEG, WMA, DivX-3/4/5. Additional comfort is the entrance for headphones on the front panel. Timer on / off easily perform the functions of the alarm and managed by a convenient remote control. All this makes it possible to configure a variety of systems based on this small device.
Something else you’ll never use: D-bus RC-5 input/output. This is used for infrared remote controls to take over your home theater system. Honestly, its not something any of us will ever use. Some of the real high-end junkies might be using something for it, but I’ve never even come across a device that uses this technology. Stick to the remote that came with your unit, or buy a quality universal remote control. There’s no need for this option. An alternate use for this may be a bit more common: if your receiver’s front panel is blocked (like inside a cabinet), you could get an infrared transmitter to latch on to the front of it. This transmitter would hook up to another device somewhere in your room that will accept signals from your remote control. The receiving device then transmits the remote’s commands to your receiver (via the transmitter you’ve attached to the front over the regular infrared transmitter).
Where you put your TV is dependent on how large it is, how large your room is, and where you will be sitting. If its 50 inches, don’t sit more than 10-15 feet away; but no less, either.
