Linked Functions
The Nº38 has the ability to “link” several of its functions to certain
compatible Mark Levinson components (such as the Nº30 and Nº35
digital processors and the Nº31 CD transport).
Note:
to take advantage of linked functions, you must connect
the Nº38 to the other, compatible Mark Levinson components
via
their communication ports. (See “Rear Panel” and “Set-up
and Installation.”)
There are four linked functions in the Nº38:
■ Display Intensity: adjusting the Display Intensity on any
Linked component will adjust the displays in the other
Linked components as well, keeping them all at a
consistent brightness level.
■ Standby Link: placing the Nº38 into Standby will also place
the compatible Mark Levinson digital processor and
transport into Standby, except during a digital recording
session (see Record Link section, below). Placing either
digital component into Standby will have no effect on the
Nº38, since you might well wish to continue listening to a
different source component. Taking a Linked Mark Levinson
digital processor out of Standby will also cause the Nº38 to
come out of Standby (and select the appropriate input—
see Input Selection, below).
■ Input Selection: Placing your Mark Levinson transport in Play
will activate both the corresponding Mark Levinson digital
processor and the Nº38 if either or both is in Standby. In
addition, the appropriate inputs will be selected on the
digital processor and on the Nº38 (specifically, the input
which has an alias of either “No30” or “No35”). Similarly,
activating a Linked Mark Levinson digital processor will
select the appropriate input on the Nº38 (should you be
using the processor with an unlinked DAT machine, for
example).
■ Record Link: placing the Nº38 into Standby while your Mark
Levinson digital audio processor is in Record mode and the
Nº31 transport is in Record Link mode will cause a warning
to be displayed on the digital component. Both digital
components will be prevented from going into Standby
without explicit confirmation at those components that this
is what you desire. In this way, inadvertent interruption of a
digital recording in process can be avoided.
