The Nº 320S sends infrared signals at 40kHz, the most common carrier frequency used in learning remote controls. However, if the learning remote control seems unable to learn IR commands:

Eliminate obstructions between the learning remote control and the left side of the front panel display.

Adjust the distance between the learning remote control and the left side of the front panel display.

Make sure the learning remote control and the left side of the front panel display are not exposed to strong sunlight, halogen light, or fluorescent light. This can cause IR reception to become unreliable.

Replace the learning remote control batteries.

If problems persist, contact an authorized Mark Levinson dealer.

The table below indicates all available IR commands. For toggle commands, the Nº 320S provides one IR command for the toggle command as well as separate IR commands for the positive and negative forms of the toggle command. For instance, the MUTE KEY IR command teaches the learning remote control to perform mute button commands,

while the GO MUTE IR command teaches the learning 3-9remote control to activate mute and the GO UNMUTE IR command teaches the learning remote control to deactivate

mute.
