Linked Functions

 

 

 

The Nº383 has the ability to “link” several of its functions to certain

 

 

 

compatible Mark Levinson components (such as the Nº39 CD Proces-

 

 

 

sor, the Nº30.6 or Nº360/360S digital processors, and the Nº31.5 and

 

 

 

Nº37 CD transports).

 

 

 

 

 

Note:

 

To take advantage of linked functions, you must

 

 

 

connect the Nº383 to the other, compatible Mark

 

 

 

Levinson components via their communication ports.

 

 

 

(See “Rear Panel” and “Setup and Installation.”) You

 

 

 

must also cycle power on all Linked components after

 

 

 

making or changing any of the connections, to ensure

 

 

 

reliable Linked operation.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There are several linked functions in the Nº383:

 

display intensity

 

Adjusting the display intensity on any Linked component will adjust

43

 

 

the displays in the other Linked components as well, keeping them all

 

 

 

 

 

at a consistent brightness level.

 

standby link

 

Placing the Nº383 into standby will also place the compatible Mark

 

 

 

Levinson digital processor, and transport(s) into standby, except dur-

 

 

 

ing a digital recording session (see record link section, below). Placing

 

 

 

either digital component into standby will have no effect on the

 

 

 

Nº383, since you might well wish to continue listening to a different

 

 

 

source component, such as a tuner.

 

 

 

Taking a Linked Mark Levinson source component out of standby will

 

 

 

also cause the Nº383 to come out of standby.

 

volume link

 

A remote control for a linked Mark Levinson transport can (when that

 

 

 

transport is properly Linked) control the volume and mute status of

 

 

 

the Nº383 via the Linking system, allowing the use of a single remote

 

 

 

for both transport and (basic) preamp functions.

 

select link

 

Similarly, a remote control for a linked Mark Levinson transport can

 

 

 

(when that transport is properly Linked) select inputs on the Nº383 via

 

 

 

the Linking system, allowing the use of a single remote for both trans-

 

 

 

port and (basic) preamp functions. Pressing and holding the select
