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.
