19. Standby & Standby LED
Assuming that the Nº390S is connected to AC power and the
main power switch on the rear panel is in the “|” position (see
Rear Panel, Nº390S), pressing this button takes the Nº390S out
of standby mode and enables the front-panel controls.
When the Nº390S’s main power switch is first turned on (or
when power is restored after an interruption), the Nº390S will
go through a brief initialization and then be ready to operate
(that is, it won’t be in standby mode).
Pressing standby again places the Nº390S into standby mode,
which turns the display off, turns off all digital outputs, and
disables the front-panel controls. The internal circuitry
remains powered up in order to maintain its thermal stability
and optimum performance at all times.
Pressing standby, drawer, or play will bring the Nº390S out of
standby, enabling the front panel controls, and activating the
display and outputs.
While the Nº390S is in standby, the LED above the standby
button flashes approximately every five seconds. (When the
Nº390S is Linked to other Mark Levinson components, all
their standby lights will blink in unison.) When the Nº390S is
ready to operate (that is, when it is not in standby mode), this
LED remains lit continuously.
Sleep Timer As shipped from the factory, the Nº390S will remain on until
you deliberately place it in standby. If you prefer for it to
automatically enter standby after a particular period of time,
press and hold the standby button until the display reads
MANUAL. Pressing the next/f.fwd button will advance it in
one minute increments to a maximum of 120 minutes.
Pressing the prev/rew button will decrease the sleep timer by
one minute increments. Reducing the timer setting below 1
minute will return it to normal, MANUAL operation.
These options represent the length of time the Nº390S before
it will automatically go into standby. Having made your
selection, simply allow the Nº390S to time out (when the
display reverts to its normal operation, indicating disc
information). You may change your Nº390S back to manual
standby mode before it enters standby by reversing this
process.
The sleep timer will automatically reset itself to MANUAL after
having been activated. In this fashion, you can set it and forget
it without having a subsequent listening session interrupted
unexpectedly.
