Linked Functions

The Nº38 has the ability to “link” several of its functions to certain compatible Mark Levinson components (such as the Nº30 and Nº35 digital processors and the Nº31 CD transport).

Note: to take advantage of linked functions, you must connect the Nº38 to the other, compatible Mark Levinson components via their communication ports. (See “Rear Panel” and “Set-up and Installation.”)

There are four linked functions in the Nº38:

■Display Intensity: adjusting the Display Intensity on any Linked component will adjust the displays in the other Linked components as well, keeping them all at a consistent brightness level.

■Standby Link: placing the Nº38 into Standby will also place the compatible Mark Levinson digital processor and transport into Standby, except during a digital recording session (see Record Link section, below). Placing either digital component into Standby will have no effect on the Nº38, since you might well wish to continue listening to a different source component. Taking a Linked Mark Levinson digital processor out of Standby will also cause the Nº38 to come out of Standby (and select the appropriate input— see Input Selection, below).

■Input Selection: Placing your Mark Levinson transport in Play will activate both the corresponding Mark Levinson digital processor and the Nº38 if either or both is in Standby. In addition, the appropriate inputs will be selected on the digital processor and on the Nº38 (specifically, the input which has an alias of either “No30” or “No35”). Similarly, activating a Linked Mark Levinson digital processor will select the appropriate input on the Nº38 (should you be using the processor with an unlinked DAT machine, for example).

■Record Link: placing the Nº38 into Standby while your Mark Levinson digital audio processor is in Record mode and the Nº31 transport is in Record Link mode will cause a warning to be displayed on the digital component. Both digital components will be prevented from going into Standby without explicit confirmation at those components that this is what you desire. In this way, inadvertent interruption of a digital recording in process can be avoided.
