Madrigal Imaging N380S owner manual pressing and holding a button for several seconds

setup overview

available input names

The Nº380S 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 setup 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 provides positive feedback that your change has been accepted and saved for future use. (If you allow the preamp to “time out” after changing something, your change will still be saved.).

To facilitate operation in complex multisource systems, the Nº380S is capable of displaying a wide variety of names for each of its six inputs. The available names are listed below.

NOT USED (any unused input)

ssp	Surround Sound Processor
EQ	Equalizer
DAT	Digital Audio Tape
VCR	Video Cassette Recorder
CAS	Cassette
RTR	Reel-To-Reel
DCC	Digital Compact Cassette
MD	Mini-Disc
CDR	Compact Disc, Recordable
CDI	Compact Disc, Interactive
SAT	Satellite
PH	Phono
LD	LaserDisc
CD	Compact Disc
TUN	Tuner
AUX	Auxiliary
DAC	Digital to Analog Converter
DMX	Digital Music Express™ (a cable radio system)
CDP	Proceed™ CD Processor
DVD	(depends on who you ask…)
DAP	Proceed DAP
No30	Mark Levinson Nº30(.5) Digital Audio Processor
No35	Mark Levinson Nº35 Digital Audio Processor
No36	Mark Levinson Nº36(S) Digital Audio Processor
No39	Mark Levinson Nº39 CD Processor

Each name is normally followed by a number corresponding to the number of the input being used. (The exceptions being the names like “No30” and “No35” for the corresponding Mark Levinson products.) 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 name to indicate that an input is NOT USED.
