Set-Up Overview

Aliases

Available Input Aliases

The Nº38 Preamplifier has many provisions for custom-tailoring the system’s operation to match your preferences. The consistent method for modifying any of these settings is to enter a Set-Up mode by pressing and holding a button for several seconds; the setting is then modified, either by pressing a button or turning the volume knob; and then the new preference is confirmed by pressing and holding the original button again for several seconds.

This three-step process is simple and logical, yet ensures that changes which affect the operation of the preamplifier must be made quite deliberately.

To facilitate operation in complex multi-source systems, the Nº38 is capable of displaying a wide variety of aliases, or alternative names, for each of its six inputs. They are listed below.

Each alias is normally followed by a number corresponding to the number of the input being used. (The exceptions being the aliases “No30” and “No35” for the corresponding Mark Levinson digital audio processors.) Thus, a DAT in Input 3 would normally display a DAT3. In this way, you can have more than one CD player, for example, and still tell at a glance which one is selected.

There is also a special alias to indicate that an input is NOT USED.

The factory default input alias is NOT USED for each input except AUX1 and AUX3, which were configured for the Quick Start portion of this manual. Any or all input aliases (including these) may be changed easily to match the configuration of your particular system.
