INTRODUCTION
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 contact-
cleaners 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 AC-
power 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-2-
prong adapter) on its power cord, will eliminate the hum.

(“active”) subwoofer or to a power amplier channel driving a passive
system).
3 SPEAKERS: Connect the left and right terminals to the corresponding
loudspeakers. Each output’s“+” (red) terminal and “-” (black) terminal
must be connected to the corresponding “+”and “-” terminals of the
loudspeaker. Use extra care to ensure that no stray wires or strands cross
between posts or terminals at either end.
NOTES
• Use stranded wire of at least 16-gauge (AWG); specialized speaker cable
may be valuable (consult your NAD audio specialist). Connections to the
C 717 can be made with banana-type plugs, or using bare wire, or pins,
by loosening the terminal’s plastic nut, making a clean, neat connection,
and re-tightening carefully. To minimize the danger of short-circuits,
ensure that only 1/2-inch of exposed wire or pin is employed in
connecting.
• This unit is designed to produce optimum sound quality when connected to
speakers with impedances within the C 717’s operating range. Please check
that speakers are rated to be 6 ohms minimum per speaker.
4 SCART/RGB OUT: Connect the C 717’s “SCART/RGB OUT” to the SCART/
RGB video input of a compatible video monitor/TV. Be sure to observe
the correct orientation of the SCART/RGB plug. Make sure also to set
“VIDEO OUT”to “RGB”at the SETUP menu for stable video availability at
SCART/RGB OUT.
5 OPTICAL DIGITAL OUT: Connect the OPTICAL DIGITAL OUT port
to the corresponding S/PDIF digital input of a receiver, computer
soundcard or other digital processors.
6 VIDEO OUT: Connect to the corresponding composite video input of
a compatible monitor/television, projector, A/V receiver or processor
using quality dual-RCA cable designed for video signals.
7 COMPONENT VIDEO OUT: Connect the C 717’s“COMPONENT VIDEO
OUT”to the component video input of a compatible video monitor/TV.
Be sure to observe consistency in connecting the appropriate Y, Cb/Pb,
Cr/Pr jacks to the corresponding sources/inputs. Do not rely purely
on the color coding of the jacks, which may not always be consistent
among brands. The routing of the component video output is xed.
NOTES
• Make sure to set “VIDEO OUT” to “COMPONENT” at the SETUP menu for
video to be available at Component Video OUT. 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.
• “COMPONENT VIDEO OUT” will only display the internal DVD video
signals.
8 VCR IN/OUT: VCR may be used with recording components such as a
cassette deck. Connect analog stereo audio from such source components
into the C715’s VCR IN. Connect the C 717’s VCR OUT to the source
components’record-input. Note that VCR may freely be used for play-only
components, in which case the OUT jacks would remain unconnected.
NOTES
• There will be no output at VCR OUT when VCR is active source input.
This prevents feedback through the recording component thereby
preventing possible damage to your speakers.
• VCR IN/OUT is for audio signal only.

9 TV: Input for additional line level input signals such as TV, Mini Disc
player or the output signal from a step-up amplier for a turntable. Use
a twin RCA-to-RCA lead to connect the auxiliary unit’s left and right
“Audio Outputs” to this input.
NOTE
TV input port is for audio signal only.
10 FM, AM ANTENNA INPUT: Connect the supplied lead-type FM
antenna to the FM antenna input. Extend the lead. Experiment freely
with your antenna placement and orientation until you get the clearest
sound and lowest background noise. Fix the antenna in the desired
position by using thumb tacks, push pins or any suitable means.
The AM loop antenna supplied with the C 717 (or a suitable
replacement) is required for AM reception. Open the clip terminal
lever; insert the wire making sure to match the color-coded (white
and black) ends of the wire to that of the terminal and close the
lever ensuring that the lever locks the wire in place. Testing dierent
positions for the antenna may improve reception; vertical orientation
will usually produce the best results. Antenna proximity to large metal
objects (appliances, radiators) may impair reception, as will attempts to
lengthen the wire to the loop.
NOTE
An external AM antenna can improve long distance reception
substantially; consult your NAD audio specialist or a professional
antenna installer. Do not connect anything other than a loop antenna
to the AM ANTENNA terminal.

The C 717’s internal AM/FM tuner oers very high quality sound from radio
broadcasts. The reception and sound quality will always be dependent to a
degree however on the type of antenna(s) used as well as proximity to the
broadcast origin, geography and weather conditions.
SELECTING AM/FM
Press [SOURCE] button repeatedly until AM or FM mode. When using the
[TUNER] button, toggle the [TUNER] button to select AM or FM band.
ABOUT ANTENNAS
Connect the supplied lead-type FM antenna to the FM antenna input.
Extend the lead. Experiment freely with your antenna placement and
orientation until you get the clearest sound and lowest background noise.
Fix the antenna in the desired position by using thumb tacks, push pins or
any suitable means. In areas of poor FM reception, an exterior FM antenna
can improve performance dramatically. If radio listening is important to you,
consider consulting an antenna installation professional to optimize your
system.
The supplied AM “loop” antenna will usually provide adequate reception.
However, an exterior AM antenna can be used to improve reception.
Consult an antenna professional for more information.
ASSEMBLING THE LOOP ANTENNA
1 Rotate the outer frame of the antenna.
2 Insert the bottom edge of the outer frame into the groove on the stand.
3 Extend the antenna cord.
TUNER MODE
Toggle front panel’s [TUNER MODE] button and the upper display will show
“Manual tune”or “Preset tune”. Select either “Manual tune”or “Preset tune”
by releasing the [TUNER MODE] button. Immediately rotate the [SCROLL/
PUSH/ENTER] knob with reference to the following;
MANUAL TUNE
Rotate [SCROLL/PUSH/ENTER] knob momentarily to step up or down
between AM or FM frequencies. Stop rotating when you nd your desired
station. You can also rotate quickly and release the [SCROLL/PUSH/
ENTER] knob – the C 717 will stop at the next suciently strong signal it
encounters.
PRESET TUNE
Use the [SCROLL/PUSH/ENTER] knob to step up or down between stored
presets. The SR 9’s [PRESET ] key work similarly. Empty presets will be
skipped during preset tuning.
CHOOSING THE FM MODE
In FM mode, the SR 9 [FM MODE] key is a dual-purpose control. In the
normal position, (“STEREO” and “TUNED” icons are illuminated in the VFD)
only the stations with a strong signal can be listened to and the noise
between stations is muted.
Pressing the [FM MODE] button again (“STEREO” icon is extinguished; only
“TUNED” is illuminated) allows distant and potentially noisy stations to be
received. Noise is reduced if the FM station signal level is less than the FM
stereo threshold (since mono FM is inherently less noise-prone) though at
the sacrice of stereo eect.
SETTING RADIO PRESETS
The C 717 can store up to 30 FM and 30 AM stations for immediate recall.
MANUAL PRESET
1 Toggle the SR 9’s [TUNER] button to select AM or FM.
2 To store a radio preset, rst tune the desired frequency (see above),
then press the [SCROLL/PUSH/ENTER] knob.The next available preset
number, for example, “11”, starts blinking. Use the Direct-Entry numeric
keypad buttons to enter the desired preset number. For example, to
enter Preset number “1,”press “0” and then “1”. Note that as the rst digit
“0” is keyed-in, “0 _” is blinking indicating that it is waiting for the second
digit to be entered. Upon entering the second digit (i.e., number
“1”), “01” stops blinking. This indicates that the rst preset entry is
completed. You can also press [SCROLL/PUSH/ENTER] knob to store the
desired frequency in the displayed available preset number.
3 Repeat steps 1 and 2 to store up to 30FM and 30AM stations.
NOTES
• Instead of the using the numeric key pads of SR 9, you can instead
rotate the [SCROLL/PUSH/ENTER] knob to select desired preset number
allocation.
• A new station can be directly entered into an existing programmed
Memory Preset. The new station will overwrite all the data previously
held on that Preset number.
AUTOMATIC PRESET
Preset stations may also be programmed automatically for the entire FM (or
AM) band.
1 Toggle the SR 9’s [TUNER] button to select AM or FM band.
2 Press and hold front panel’s [SCROLL/PUSH/ENTER] knob. Release
[SCROLL/PUSH/ENTER] when the AM or FM frequency rapidly starts to
move or change. Up to 30 of the best received FM stations (or 30 AM
stations) will be automatically stored.
DELETE A PRESET
1 Select a Preset number to be deleted.
2 Press [STOP] button – current stored preset setting will be erased.
The Radio Preset can only be deleted using the front panel button.
