| 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 |
