Creating a Slave Chain (continued)

To create a slave chain that includes the Nº 320S:

1.Load a disc in a digital transport that will be included in the slave chain (if applicable).

2.Make sure the Nº 320S and all associated components are powered off.

3.Refer to the table on the previous page and the illustration on the next page to make Link connections. In general, components must be linked as follows: digital audio processor, to digital transport, to Nº 320S, to power amplifier.

4.When Link connections have been made, power on linked components ONE AT A TIME in the order specified below. Allow each component to complete the initialization sequence before proceeding to the next component.

A.Digital Transport(s)

B.Digital Audio Processor

C.Nº 320S

D.Power Amplifier(s)

At this point, the front panel standby LEDs on all linked components should be blinking in unison.

Note

Linked components must be powered on ONE AT A TIME in the specific order listed in step 4 (above) to ensure proper functioning of Link controls. Do not use a power strip switch to power on several components at once. When power is supplied to a power strip, connected components that do not include a power button will automatically power on.

5.Play the input source on the digital transport selected in step 1 (if applicable).

•All linked components should automatically come out of standby.

•The linked digital audio processor and Nº 320S should automatically select the appropriate input.
