19. Standby & Standby LED

Assuming that the Nº390S is connected to AC power and the main power switch on the rear panel is in the “” position (see Rear Panel, Nº390S), pressing this button takes the Nº390S out of standby mode and enables the front-panel controls.

When the Nº390S’s main power switch is first turned on (or when power is restored after an interruption), the Nº390S will go through a brief initialization and then be ready to operate (that is, it won’t be in standby mode).

Pressing standby again places the Nº390S into standby mode, which turns the display off, turns off all digital outputs, and disables the front-panel controls. The internal circuitry remains powered up in order to maintain its thermal stability and optimum performance at all times.

Pressing standby, drawer, or play will bring the Nº390S out of standby, enabling the front panel controls, and activating the display and outputs.

While the Nº390S is in standby, the LED above the standby button flashes approximately every five seconds. (When the Nº390S is Linked to other Mark Levinson components, all their standby lights will blink in unison.) When the Nº390S is

ready to operate (that is, when it is not in standby mode), this 23 LED remains lit continuously.

As shipped from the factory, the Nº390S will remain on until you deliberately place it in standby. If you prefer for it to automatically enter standby after a particular period of time, press and hold the standby button until the display reads MANUAL. Pressing the next/f.fwd button will advance it in one minute increments to a maximum of 120 minutes. Pressing the prev/rew button will decrease the sleep timer by one minute increments. Reducing the timer setting below 1 minute will return it to normal, MANUAL operation.

These options represent the length of time the Nº390S before it will automatically go into standby. Having made your selection, simply allow the Nº390S to time out (when the display reverts to its normal operation, indicating disc information). You may change your Nº390S back to manual standby mode before it enters standby by reversing this process.

The sleep timer will automatically reset itself to MANUAL after having been activated. In this fashion, you can set it and forget it without having a subsequent listening session interrupted unexpectedly.
