Troubleshooting

Incorrect operation is sometimes mistaken for malfunction. If problems occur, use this section for troubleshooting information. If problems persist, contact your authorized Mark Levinson dealer.

1.Examine the power cord to ensure that it is connected to both the rear panel connector of the Nº532 and an electrical outlet.

2.Make sure the Nº532 is powered on with the Power button.

3.Make sure the Nº532 is not in Standby or Power Save mode. The LED should be at full brightness.

4.Examine the electrical circuit breaker to ensure that power is being supplied to the electrical outlet to which the Nº532 is connected.

5.Verify that the voltage rating on the rear panel of the Nº532 matches the voltage rating of the electrical outlet. If the voltages do not match, no power is sent to the outputs of the amplifier.

1. Make sure that the source device is powered on, playing audio,

 

and set to the right output connector.

2.Examine cables to ensure a solid connection between the Nº532 and associated components.

3.Make sure the Nº532 output connectors are connected to operational loudspeakers.

4.Ensure that the Nº532 is not in a fault condition. When the Nº532 experiences a fault, the output is muted and the Status LED on the front panel blinks in a rapid pattern, indicating:
