DVD-player NAD T532

NAD T532 machine creators relied on solutions, tested by time. Plastic front panel with rounded edges is made in the traditional style of NAD. The location and shape of the tray, display and controls - classic. It is commendable that the front elevation can choose not only the playback speed, but the menu options. Meanwhile button open/close is not very comfortable - in the bottom row. Player NAD T532 does not have a 5.1 release, so the installation is very simple - the menu takes one single page option names are understandable without translation. However, this simplicity is deceptive: the menu is incomplete, the signal S-Video or RGB, as well as the mode of full bidirectional transcoder (Auto, PAL, NTSC) is installed on the rear panel by mechanical switches. There are five video modes; Audio Setting one - when playing multi-channel soundtrack through the two speakers have the opportunity to emphasize the dialogue or create the illusion of surround sound. Of "compressed" read only formats MP3 recording, with information organized archaic folder names are omitted, all files are displayed in one list, from the names are only the first four characters, so finding the track has to tinker. Remote control - a major, if not bulky. It looks good, but its ergonomics is poor. The reason for that - small monochrome buttons that are difficult to distinguish from each other. Happy exception is the working area management options menu buttons spacious, they are slightly larger than the others. Recommend NAD T532 can adherents of traditional views on playback of audio and video - for those who prefer phonorecords of all CD-Audio, MP3 format only considering ways of making music directories and home theater perceives as a weighty addition to musical theater. One of the two applicants with full transcoder NTSC-PAL, this device will help save on videotape recording DVD - American favorite artists.

- Technical comment -

AFC in NAD T532 most linear in the test channels are almost identical. In the mid- field nonlinear distortion is extremely small (turntable - the leader of the test of this parameter). Signal/noise ratio - high (103 dB) and uniform over the spectrum. Intermodulation distortion in the sound field virtually no clean spectrum. This is largely due to the linear (up to -60 dB) amplitude characteristic. The player offers good color clarity, and between any two colors. Color noise level is not the lowest, but the correct color reproduction on any video output. Saturation is very good S-Video, RGB however much clearer picture.
