Linked functions

The Nº360 has the ability to “link” several of its functions to compat-

ible Mark Levinson components (like the Nº31 Reference CD Trans-

port and the Nº38 or Nº38S Preamplifier, and the 30-series power am-

plifiers).

Note: To take advantage of linked functions, you must

connect the Nº360 to the other components via their

communication ports. (See “Rear panel” and “Set-up

and installation.”)

The following linked functions are selected as operational options at

your Mark Levinson transport. They are described here for your refer-

ence.

Standby link ■ Standby link: This feature links the standby modes of the

various Mark Levinson Linked components. For example:

• If transport, digital processor, preamplifier and power am-

plifier are in standby mode, pressing the transport’s

standby button will take all four components out of

standby mode (making them ready to use).

• If transport, digital processor, preamplifier and power am-

plifier are in standby mode, pressing the Nº360’s standby

button will bring only the preamp out of standby mode

(presuming that you may wish to use the Nº360 with some

digital source other than the Mark Levinson transport).

• If transport, digital processor, preamplifier and power am-

plifier are “on” (not in standby mode), pressing the

preamp’s standby button will place all four components

into standby mode.

Name link ■ Name link: The Mark Levinson digital transport’s alias

link automatically overrides the name setting for its input.

When you select the Nº31’s input, the Nº360 will show

No31 on its display.

Play link ■ Play link: When you press the Mark Levinson digital

transport’s Play button, this link automatically selects the

appropriate input on the Nº360, and on the Nº38 or

Nº38S.

Note: If you’ve connected the Nº31 to two or more of your

Nº360’s inputs, the play link will look first for AES/EBU

interconnection, then ST, then S/PDIF, and finally EIAJ.
