PRECAUTION

Unpacking and Placement

Unpack your Nº38 Preamplifier and keep all packing materials for future transport. Locate and remove all accessory items from the cartons. Accessories include:

190° shielded AC power cord

1Nº38 remote control

15⁄64" Allen key

11⁄8" Allen key

2alkaline batteries for the remote control

Carefully inspect the product for damage and flaws. If you find any, see your Mark Levinson dealer immediately.

Using the supplied 5⁄64" Allen key, remove the two screws in the bottom end cap of the remote control (i.e., the end opposite the IR transmitter lens). Insert the two alkaline batteries found in the Accessories box, being careful to follow the polarity indications given on the inside of the battery compartment. Replace the end cap and the screws, using the Allen key.

If you notice that your remtoe control seems not to be performing as well as it once did, its batteries are probably running low. Check the batteries periodically, and replace batteries before they are “dead.” (Fully dicharged batteries are prone to leaking corrosive chemicals— the greenish “gunk” you may have seen around battery terminals of other remote controls at some point.)

The Nº38 should be placed close to your source equipment, keeping interconnect cabling short. We strongly recommend shelf mounting to allow for proper ventilation.

The Nº38 is designed for continuous operation, which is why it features

astandby mode rather than a full “off” mode—it is designed to be connected to the AC mains at all times for the best performance.

Be sure to allow 3 to 4 inches of clearance above the Nº38 to allow heat dissipation through air circulation.

Drawings are included in this manual to facilitate special installations and custom cabinetry (see “Dimensions”).

For your protection, review “Important Safety Instructions” before you install your Nº38.

It is extremely important that all components in your system be properly grounded. Under no circumstances should you defeat a three-prong AC cord with a “ground-lifter” or “cheater” adaptor, as doing so may allow dangerous voltages to build up between components. The presence of these voltages would pose a threat to both your person and your equipment.
