Unpacking and Placement

unpacking Unpack your Nº32 Preamplifier and keep all packing materials for fu-

ture transport. Locate and remove all accessory items from the Acces-

sory Box within the Controller shipping carton. Accessories include:

1 detachable AC power cord 2 multi-pin DC cables

1 Nº32 remote control 2 AAA alkaline batteries

⁄64" Allen key 1

⁄32" hex driver

Also included with your new Mark Levinson component is a pair of

knit, white gloves to assist you in the initial unpacking and placement

of your new purchase. Please accept them as a token of our apprecia-

tion for having purchased one of our products.

installing the batteries

in the remote control

Using the supplied

⁄64" Allen key, remove the two screws in the bottom

end cap of the remote control (i.e., the end opposite the IR transmitter

lens). Insert the two alkaline batteries found in the Accessories box, be-

ing careful to follow the polarity indications given on the inside of the

battery compartment. Replace the end cap and the screws, using the

Allen key.

If at some point you notice that your remote control seems not to be

performing as well as it once did, its batteries are probably running low.

Check the batteries periodically, and replace batteries before they are

“dead.” (Fully discharged batteries are prone to leaking corrosive

chemicals—the greenish “gunk” you may have seen around battery ter-

minals of other remote controls.)

placement The Nº32 should be placed close to your source equipment, thus keep-

ing interconnect cabling short. We strongly recommend mounting each

chassis of the Nº32 on its own shelf to allow for proper ventilation.

continuous operation The Nº32 is designed for continuous operation—it is designed to be

connected to the AC mains at all times for the best performance. While

we also include a front-panel power switch that actually disconnects

the Nº32 from the AC mains, we recommend you use the standby but-

ton instead, which leaves the Nº32 warmed up and sounding its best at

all times.
