HP N31.5 manual Placement of Your Transport

Warning:

Caution:

Connecting the communication ports other than as described in this manual may damage the Nº31.5 and/or the digital processor, and will void the products’ warranties.

Assuming both the Link connection and the digital interconnection have been made, merely pressing play the first time will establish the Link be- tween components.

6PLACEMENT OF YOUR TRANSPORT

The Nº31.5 should rest on a level, stable surface. To ensure smooth opera- tion of the lid, the Nº31.5 should be within about 3° of being level from front to back (the front and rear of the unit need to be within about 12" or 1.2cm of being level with each other). Avoid placing it where it will be ex- posed to shocks or vibration, such as on an unstable table or near large loudspeakers. In general, place it as you would a turntable.

You should also place other associated equipment so that it does not in- duce hum in the Nº31.5 or any other sensitive components.

Interfering with the Nº31.5’s ventilation or that of another component could cause either to overheat, resulting in damage to your system. To allow heat dissipation through air circulation, allow 3 to 4 inches of clearance above the vents on the top of the Nº31.5. Never block the vents on the bottom of the Nº31.5.

To help with special installations and custom cabinetry, drawings are in- cluded in this manual. (See Dimensions).

7LEVELLING YOUR TRANSPORT

For the best performance, the Nº31.5’s transport assembly should be level.

Ensuring that the unit itself is approximately level enables the Lid to operate as smoothly as it was designed. This requires only that the unit be within about 12" (or 1.2cm) of being level from front to back—hardly a stringent requirement.

Levelling the laser/motor mechanism within the Nº31.5 yields the best sonic performance. Four levelling screws (one inside each finger well) allow you to adjust this easily.

Press the Lid Open/Close button on the top panel to open the lid of the Nº31.5. With the supplied 332" hex driver, and using the Nº31.5’s bubble level as a gauge, adjust one or more of these screws to bring the transport as- sembly to level. To lower a corner, turn the corresponding screw clockwise; to raise a corner, turn the screw counterclockwise. (See diagram on the next page.)
