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  
(OSD) (“ERROR”at the VFD), if the disc is placed upside down (and it is a  
single sided disc).  
The following are important tips when loading a disc  
QUICK START  
•
•
•
Do not push the disc tray while it is moving. Doing so may cause the  
T 557 to malfunction.  
In case you simply cannot wait to experience the performance of your new  
NAD T 557, we provide the following“Quick Start”instructions to get you  
underway.  
Do not push up the disc tray or put any objects other than discs on the  
disc tray. Doing so may cause the T 557 to malfunction.  
Keep your fingers well clear of the disc tray as it is closing. Be especially  
careful with children’s fingers around the closing disc tray, as there is a  
risk of personal injury.  
Please make all the connections to your T 557 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.  
Press [ ], the disc tray is automatically closed. Playback of the first track  
starts if a CD is loaded. For BD, DVD, USB or other disc media, playback  
operation is accessible through their menu screen.

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.  
PLAYABLE DISCS  
The T 557 has exceptional playability. It has support for the following disc  
formats  
•
•
•
•
Blu-ray Disc (BD), BD-R/RE discs that contain audio titles, DivX, MP3,  
WMA or Photo files.  
DVD-Video, DVD R, DVD RW discs that contain audio titles, Movie,  
DivX, MP3, WMA or Photo files.  
Audio CD, CD-R/-RW discs that contain audio titles, DivX, MP3, WMA or  
Photo files.

menu Sound  
When you highlight or select a menu option, sound can be heard such as  
button clicks or a voice-over explaining the highlighted menu choice.  
multi-page/pop-up menuS  
With DVD-Video, playback is interrupted each time a new menu screen  
is accessed. Due to BD-ROM disc’s ability to preload data from the disc  
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.  
interactivitY  
Certain BD-ROM Discs may contain animated menus and/or trivia games.  
uSer browSable SlideShowS  
With BD-ROM Discs, you can browse through various still pictures while the

select different font styles, sizes and colors for some subtitles. Subtitles may  
also be animated, scrolled or faded in and out.  
•

render the T 557 permanently inoperable.  
•
•
An AVCHD formatted disc will not play if it is not correctly finalized.  
Depending on the recording condition, some AVCHD format discs may  
not play.  
bd-j interactive capabilitY

content providers almost unlimited functionality when creating interactive  
BD-ROM titles.  
ABOUT THE SYMBOL DISPLAY  
“

function you entered or try to execute is not available on that specific disc or file.  
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.
