Troubleshooting

Incorrect operation is sometimes mistaken for malfunction. If problems occur, use this section for troubleshooting information. If problems persist, contact your authorized Mark Levinson dealer.

1.Examine the power cord to ensure that it is connected to both the rear panel connector of the amplifier and an electrical outlet.

2.Make sure the amplifier is powered on with the Power switch.

3.Make sure the amplifier is not in Standby mode. The front panel LED should be at full brightness.

4.Examine the electrical circuit breaker to ensure that power

is being supplied to the electrical outlet to which the amplifier is connected.

5.Verify that the voltage rating on the rear panel of the amplifier matches the voltage rating of the electrical outlet. If the voltages do not match, no power is sent to the outputs of the amplifier.

1.Make sure that the source device is powered on, playing audio, and set to the right output connector.

2.Examine cables to ensure a solid connection between the amplifier and associated components.

3.Make sure the amplifier's output connectors are connected to operational loudspeakers.

4.Ensure that the amplifier is not in a fault condition. When the amplifier experiences a fault, the output is muted and the Status

LED on the front panel blinks in a rapid pattern, indicating:

Rapidly blinking

Indicates that a thermal-related fault has

(off most of the time)

occurred.

 

 

*Signal-related faults include significant DC offset at the output due to either DC in the input signal or a failed component within the amplifier OR excessive current demands due to a short-circuited loudspeaker wire.

Can’t Assign in ML Net

You must assign the slave from the master device. Verify that the

 

slave you want to assign is listed in the master device list and

 

check its current state. For further explanations on assigning slave

 

devices, refer to the owner’s manual of the master device.
