thank You for chooSing nad.
The T 557 brings NAD’s penchant for performance to the exciting new
Blu-ray Disc format. This Profile 2.0 Blu-ray Disc Player brims with the latest
features and offers for the first time a true High Definition source for digital
Home Theater systems.
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 T 557.
As with all our products, NAD’s“Music First”design philosophy guided the
T 557’s design in such a way that it can confidently promise you state-
of-the-art visual fidelity and audiophile-quality music listening for years
to come. We have been careful to ensure that the T 557 is as musically
transparent, faithful to every video detail and spatially accurate as possible,
incorporating much of what we’ve learned from a quarter-century’s
experience designing audio, video and home-theater components.
One more thing: We urge you to register your T 557 ownership on the NAD
Worldwide Web site:

This owner’s manual
Save the packaging
Please save the box and all of the packaging in which your T 557 arrived.
Should you move or otherwise need to transport your T 557, 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
Step 2
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 T 557’s front panel and your primary listening/viewing
position. This will ensure reliable infrared remote control communications.
The T 557 generates a modest amount of heat, but nothing that should
trouble adjacent components. It is perfectly possible to stack the T 557 on
top of other components.
Rubber foot inserted
DISC LOADING AND PLAYBACK
There are two different disc sizes. Place the disc in the correct guide on the
disc tray. If the disc is out of the guide, it may damage the disc and cause
the T 557 to malfunction. “Check Disc”appears at the On-Screen Display

REGION MANAGEMENT INFORMATION
high-definition plaYback
The T 557 is designed and manufactured to respond to the Region
Management Information that is recorded on a DVD disc or Blu-ray disc. If the
Region or BD code described on the disc does not correspond to the Region
or BD code shown on the T 557 rear panel, the T 557 cannot play that disc. The
disc tray automatically opens after the OSD briefly displays“This disc has been
coded for Region _ only and will not play in this machine. Please eject this disc
and play only on a Region _ player.“ (BD only) or“Check Regional Code”(DVD
only)”when an incompatible Region or BD disc is loaded.
To view high-definition contents from BD-ROM discs, an HDTV is required.
Some discs may require HDMI OUT for viewing of high-definition contents.
Ability to view high-definition contents in BD-ROM discs maybe limited
depending on the resolution of your TV.
graphic planeS
Two individual full HD resolution (1920x1080) graphic planes (layers) are
available on top of the HD video layer. One plane is assigned to video-
related, frame accurate graphics (like subtitles), and the other plane is
assigned to interactive graphic elements, such as buttons or menus. For
both planes, various wipes, fades and scroll effects may be available.

without interrupting playback, a menu can consist of several pages. You can
browse through the menu pages or select different menu paths, while the
audio and video remain playing in the background.
advanced video codec high definition (avchd)
AVCHD video format is recorded using the MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 video
compression codec. It is a high definition digital video camera format
used to record SD (standard definition) or HD (high definition) signals. The
MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 format enables a HD video signal shot on a digital video
camera recorder to be recorded on DVDs in the same way as that of SD
television signal.

BD-ROM DISC COMPATIBILITY
The T 557 supports BD-ROM Profile 2. Aside from the BONUSVIEW function,
the T 557 supports BD-Live (BD-ROM version 2 Profile 2) discs that allow
usage of interactive functions when the T 557 is connected to the internet.
BD-ROM DISC FEATURES
BD-ROM (Blu-ray Disc Read-Only Memory) is a commercially produced disc
and available in the same capacities as that of regular Blu-ray discs. Other
than conventional movie and video contents, BD-ROM has enhanced
features such as interactive content, menu operations, pop-up menus,
subtitle selection, slideshow and other features.
The T 557 is also compatible with discs supporting BONUSVIEW (BD-ROM
version 2 Profile 1 version 1.1/Final Standard Profile) that enables Virtual
packages or Picture-in-Picture functions.
BD-ROM Discs can store 25 GB (single layer) or 50 GB (dual layer) on a single
sided disc - about 5 to 10 times the capacity of a DVD. BD-ROM Discs also
support the highest quality HD video available in the industry (up to 1920 x
1080) - large capacity means no compromise on video quality. Furthermore,
a BD-ROM disc has the same familiar size and look as DVD.

HANDLING DISCS
Do not touch the playback side of the disc. Hold the disc by the edges so that
fingerprints do not get on the surface. Never stick paper or tape on the disc.
CLEANING DISCS
Fingerprints and dust on the disc can cause poor picture quality and sound
distortion. Before playing, clean the disc with a clean cloth. Wipe the disc
from the center out.
STORING DISCS
After playing, store the disc in its case. Do not expose the disc to direct
sunlight or sources of heat and never leave it in a parked car exposed to
direct sunlight.
Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol, benzine, thinner, commercially
available cleaners, or anti-static spray intended for older vinyl records.
