With the introduction of the VISO TWO DVD Receiver, NAD now offers the level of performance
associated with its highly acclaimed full-size separates in an elegant, compact design. Designed to
complement today's advanced video displays, its elegant proportions and fine details make a
sophisticated design statement. And unlike most other "all-in-one" systems, the NAD performs like
an award winning NAD separate component. We have not made any performance compromises in
our quest for convenience and style.
The Command Center for an Advanced Audio and Video Sound System
By combining the DVD/CD Player and Stereo Receiver in one elegant package, one needs only to add
the TV monitor and Speakers to the NAD VISO TWO to have theater quality sound in any room of the
home. The ability to choose loudspeakers separately, ones that suit your specific needs, should not
be underestimated.
The VISO TWO forms the heart of an advanced Home Cinema. Its compact dimensions (especially
depth), makes it ideal for apartment and condo dwellers, yet there is no compromise when it comes
to performance. The supplied HTR-7 Remote can operate your TV, VCR, Satellite or Cable Tuner, and
almost any other IR remote controlled device. The logical layout and illuminated keys make
operating your AV system straightforward and enjoyable, and the HTR-7, with it's ability to learn the
remote commands of up to eight different devices, eliminates the clutter of multiple remote
handsets.
Unlike the Home Theater in a Box systems that include speakers (usually of questionable quality),
the NAD VISO TWO allows complete freedom to choose speakers that fit your decor and suite your
taste in sound. New features for the VISO TWO include Progressive Scan DVD with upscaling to
1080 with HDMI digital video output, simplified setup using the On Screen Display, and the inclusion
of the latest virtual surround formats: Dolby Virtual Speaker (gives a convincing surround effect with
only two front speakers), and Dolby Headphone (remarkable holographic surround effect from
headphones).
Performance
By concentrating on the most important aspects of the VISO TWO circuitry, the NAD engineers were
able to extract remarkable audio and video performance. As usual with NAD, the VISO TWO uses
discrete amplifier output stages only. The benefits of this approach have been proven over the years
in many acclaimed NAD amplifiers and receivers. (Most products in this category are using digital IC
amplifier modules, which allow for a very slim-line design, but cannot meet even the most basic hi-fi
specs for noise and distortion.)
As one would expect from NAD, only high quality components have been used, such as high
resolution ADCs (Analogue-to-Digital Converter) and DACs (Digital-to-Analogue Converter) from
renowned manufacturer Crystal to obtain the best possible performance.DVD/CD Receiver

Flexibility
Even though the VISO TWO DVD Receiver may be far more compact than a separate DVD Player
and Receiver of comparable performance, it still is very flexible. Three additional video sources
(one front panel accessible - perfect for cameras and game consoles) and a 6 channel audio
source can be connected (with the built-in tuner and DVD/CD player that potentially gives you
access to six sources) of which two also offer S-Video Video inputs and one a Component Video
input. Besides the Monitor output, the VISO TWO also has an S-Video and Composite output as
well. Two digital inputs (one optical, one coaxial) are provided, and, for easy transferring to a CD
recorder or other digital recording device, the VISO TWO also sports an optical digital output.
Rather than using spring clips for loudspeaker cable connection, as usually found on compact
systems, the VISO TWO offers high quality loudspeaker binding posts, more associated with top-
of-the-range full-size AV receivers. A line-level output for connection to a powered subwoofer is
provided as well.
DVD and CD Features and Performance
Besides superb DVD picture quality in either interlaced or progressive modes, the NAD VISO
TWO also offers a wide range of facilities such as Multi-Angle*; Multi-Sound*; Multi-Subtitle*;
Frame; Zoom and Repeat. All these facilities can be easily accessed with the supplied remote
control. Through the extensive yet intuitive On-Screen-Display you can change the various
settings and parameters for optimum performance.
