tip polarity for external IR input

Connecting the communication ports other than as described in this manual can damage the Nº380 and the associated Mark Levinson components, and will void those products’ warranties.

6INPUTS 3-6

Accepts right-channel and left-channel (single-ended) inputs from line-level source equipment such as tuners, CD players, and tape decks.

If a turntable is to be used with the Nº380, it must be used in conjunction with a phono preamp such as the Mark Levinson Nº25. The phono preamp used should provide RIAA equalization and deliver a line-level signal to the input of the Nº380 (both standard functions of a phono preamplifier)..

7EXTERNAL IR INPUT

The Nº380 incorporates an infrared repeater input to facilitate a wide range of installation options. If desired, the Nº380 may be placed inside a cabinet or outside the normal line-of-sight in the listening area, with the controlling IR signal being relayed to the Nº380 by any of a number of commercially- available IR repeaters.

The specifications for this IR input call for a triggering voltage of 5 volts at no more than 100 milliamps of current, with the tip of the 1⁄8" mini-plug having positive polarity, as below:

–+

5 volts @ less than 100 mA

If you would like more information on the possibility of using an infrared repeater with your Nº380, please contact your Mark Levinson dealer.
