NAD’s new VISO FIVE delivers the uncompromising performance associated with NAD’s acclaimed full-size separate components in an elegant, compact design created to complement today's advanced video displays. Its graceful proportions and fine details combine a DVD/CD Player and Digital Surround Sound Receiver in a single sophisticated package requiring only the addition of a TV monitor and surround sound speakers to bring theater quality sound and video to any room in a home, or to a dedicated Home Theater.
By concentrating on the most important aspects of the VISO FIVE circuitry, the NAD engineers were able to extract remarkable audio and video performance. As usual with NAD, the VISO FIVE 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.
Even though the VISO FIVE DVD Surround Sound 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 FIVE 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 FIVE also sports an optical digital output. Rather than using spring clips for loudspeaker cable connection, as usually found on compact systems, the VISO FIVE 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.
The VISO FIVE will automatically recognise DTS or Dolby Digital and will switch accordingly. Also included is the new high resolution DVD-Audio mode with up 24 bit 196 kHz resolution with full bass management included. Besides these modes, Stereo Enhanced (all channel stereo), ProLogic II, and EARS (an NAD exclusive) are available, all aimed at reproducing 2 channel stereo music in a realistic 5.1 surround mode, creating either a natural ambience, or an all out party sound. In all cases the sound is pure and undistorted, as opposed to those fuzzy "boingy" sound effects with lofty sounding names like "stadium" and "cathedral". RS-232 data port offers connection to highly advanced automated control systems.
