NAD T535 User manual

UNIVERSAL PLAYBACK
With the proliferation of different optical disc formats, most people want just one player that will play them
all. The T535 is capable of playing most all the popular entertainment oriented optical disc format, including
the high resolution DVD-Audio and SACD music formats. MP3 and WMA compressed formats are also
decoded, offering surprisingly good sound quality when recorded at higher available bit rates. Your existing
CD collection is also in for a major sonic upgrade when played back through the advanced electronics of the
T535.
DVD-Video can be watched in normal interlaced mode, or in progressive scan mode, providing your TV
monitor supports this type of signal. If you have a high definition (HDTV) monitor equipped with HDMI inputs
that support HDCP encryption, you can also take advantage of the Faroudja DCDi chip that will ‘upconvert’
standard DVD (480/576 lines) to the HD formats of 720p, 1080i or 1080p.
DVD-Audio and SACD decoding take place on board with comprehensive bass management available for
decoded signals. DVD-Audio uses high resolution 24 bit PCM signals and MLP ‘lossless’ compression
to advance audio performance to unprecedented levels. SACD (super audio compact disc) is a different
approach to high definition audio using the DSD (direct stream digital) technique to obtain a very realistic
sonic presentation. Both techniques have their adherents, but thankfully, with the T535, you don’t have to
take sides in the discussion about which format is better – you have both formats covered!
ADVANCED FEATURES
The T535 includes the High Definition Digital Interface (HDMI) with HDCP encryption, allowing high definition
audio and video signals to be transferred between source components, processors, and TV Displays in
a pure digital format. This eliminates the distortion producing conversions between digital and analog by
keeping the signal in the digital domain.
Naturally, the T535 supports all the popular DVD-Video features, such as fast and slow scan, multi-language,
multi-angle, A-B repeat, and last scene bookmarking. The ergonomically designed remote handset puts all
these features right under your thumb for easy and convenient operation. Easy integration with advanced
control systems, such as AMX and Crestron, is made possible using the rear panel IR input and RS-232
port.

Features
Details

AUDIO PERFORMANCE
Digital audio outputs are available in both coaxial, and optical
(TosLink) SPDIF formats, as well as I/2 S digital format via the
HDMI output. DVD-Audio uses the Dolby licensed MLP lossless
compression to produce PCM formatted high resolution signals
with 24 bits and up to 192kHz sample rates. MLP perfectly
shrinks the very high data rates of DVD-Audio – up to 13.8 Mbps
– to the DVD limit of 9.6 Mbps without losing any data. This
compares with data rates of approximately 1.5 Mbps for CD, and
as little as 0.03 Mbps for MP3 encoded audio.
Dolby Digital and Dolby ProLogic decoding is also included, as is
support for MP3 and Windows Media Audio.
The NAD T535 uses audiophile quality 24-bit, 192-kHz audio D/A
converters. These devices are well protected from noise caused
by even minute fluctuations in current from the power supply. The
level of quantization noise within the frequency range is uniform
for all frequencies and very well suppressed. This D/A converter
ensures that all the sound you hear is as clear and noise-free as
possible. High speed FET output devices keep all the detail present
in high resolution SACD and DVD-Audio formats, perfectly intact.
VIDEO PERFORMANCE
The T535 features a Dual Discrete Video Circuit (D.D.V.C.) for the
highest possible picture quality via the Component Video output.
An extremely high-speed video D/A converter is a very critical
component in generating superior quality video playback from DVD.
The NAD T535, therefore, uses the highest quality 12-bit, 216-
MHz video D/A converters to ensure highly accurate playback
of deli¬cate, low-level video signals. This produces a vivid picture
that is faithful in every detail. Over sampling of 4x is achieved for
Progressive and 8x for interlaced video signals, allowing more
detailed D/A conversion. Higher quality picture reproduction is
also possible thanks to a filter with flexible ‘shutout characteristics’
that is used for the analog filter in the latter stage.
Progressive Scan features the DCDi processor by Faroudja.
Progressive Scan technology represents a vast improvement over
the interlaced scanning method used in normal TV broadcasts and
other conven¬tional applications, as it can process around twice
as much video data to produce a sharper, noise-free picture with
finer details. Video images are faithfully displayed with optimum
naturalness and beauty.
