Setup and Installation
For your protection, review Important Safety Instructions before you
install your Nº31.5.
Carefully open the shipping carton and remove the contents. You should have:
• Mark Levinson Nº31.5 Reference Digital Transport
• Remote control
• Two AA batteries
• Disc damper
• Four spikes
• AC power cord
• Link cable (2m)
• Two spare 1.0-ampere slow-blow fuses
•One
5
⁄64" hex key (for remote control)
•One
1
⁄8" hex key (for feet/spikes)
•One
3
⁄32" hex driver (for levelling the transport)
• Owner’s manual
Save the shipping carton and all packing material. Though it may be inconvenient
to store, it will come in handy for shipping if you move, or if the Nº31.5 needs to
be shipped for service. If you need to ship your Nº31.5 and have lost the original
packing materials, please contact your local dealer or distributor for the purpose-
designed, exact replacements rather than trying to fabricate something.
Warning: Shipping the Nº31.5 in anything other than its purpose-
designed shipping materials may result in damage that
would not be covered under any warranty.
In addition to the tools we provide, you will need the following to set up your
Nº31.5:
• A soft cloth or towel
• A digital-audio cable
1 INSTALL THE SPIKES INTO THE FEET (OPTIONAL)
The Nº31.5 is shipped so that it rests solidly on its four rubber-covered feet,
one under each corner of the unit. You may want to explore the potential
sonic advantages of installing the specially designed “spikes” supplied with
the Nº31.5. These spikes are quite sharp and may damage furniture. We do
not recommend their use unless your Nº31.5 will rest on thick tempered
glass, or something equivalently resistant to scratches.
If you decide to experiment with these spikes, make sure that the Nº31.5 is
unplugged from the AC power supply and disconnected from your digital
processor. Then place the Nº31.5 upright on a flat, stable surface. Protecting
its finish with a soft cloth, carefully tip it so it rests on its side, not its top.
