HP N31.5 manual Miscellaneous Controls

Direct access to inputs

This function is available even when the Nº31.5 is in standby, in which case its display will activate long enough to confirm your command visually.

You may change the input button back to controlling the digital source selection at any time by repeating this procedure.

Whenever the Nº31.5 is in either its analog- or digital-input switching mode (as shown by the display indicating something like No30 on No31 rather than its normal display), you may go directly to any desired input by pressing the corresponding num- ber button on the numeric keypad of the remote control.

mute: Pressing this button will engage the mute of a compatible Mark Levinson preamplifier without stopping the transport. Press- ing it a second time will restore the volume to its previous set- ting. This function is available even when the Nº31.5 is in standby, in which case its display will activate long enough to confirm your command visually. Since this function depends on the ability of the Nº31.5 to pass the instruction to the Nº38 (for example), the two components must be connected by a Link cable, and op- erate within a system which has a “master” digital processor. (See Setting Options for more information.)
