button will toggle between switching digital inputs vs. switching analog
inputs; simply clicking the button moves you to the next input in the
bank of inputs currently being controlled.
Note that for Select Linking to work, you must have named the associ-
ated digital processor properly to match the appropriate name from the
Name List. Thus a Nº30.6 should be named No30.6; a Nº360S should
be named No360S, and so forth.
play link Placing your Mark Levinson transport in play will activate both the
corresponding Mark Levinson digital processor and the Nº383 if either
or both is in standby. In addition, the appropriate inputs will be se-
lected on the digital processor and on the Nº383 (specifically, the input
which has an name of a Mark Levinson digital processor, such as
Nº30.6, No360S or No39).
Similarly, activating a Linked Mark Levinson digital processor will se-
lect the appropriate input on the Nº383 (should you be using the pro-
cessor with an unlinked DAT machine, for example).
record link Placing the Nº383 into standby while your Mark Levinson digital au-
dio processor is in record mode and a Mark Levinson 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.
After changing any of the Linked functions, cycle power on the Nº383
and the other components to ensure that they take effect.
HDCD™ link Linked Mark Levinson digital processors will implement the required
six decibel change in volume for HDCD recordings in the Nº383 auto-
matically if they are both properly Linked and if their name has been
set to match the appropriate name from the Name List. Thus a Nº30.6
should be named No30.6; a Nº360S should be named No360S, and
so forth.
In fact, as long as the first four characters are correct, even custom
names will be recognized and operate properly. For example, you could
refer to a No30xyz and it would still be recognized as a member of the
Nº30 family. (Though why you would want to do so remains a mystery.)
