Linked Functions
The Nº32 has the ability to “link” several of its functions to certain
compatible Mark Levinson components (such as the Nº30.6 or Nº360S
digital processors, the Nº31.5 and Nº37 CD transport, or any of the
current Mark Levinson power amplifiers).
Note: To take advantage of linked functions, you must
connect the Nº32 to the other, compatible Mark
Levinson components via their communication ports.
(See “Rear Panel” and “Setup and Installation.”) You
must also cycle power on all Linked components after
making or changing any of the connections, to ensure
reliable Linked operation.
There are several linked functions in the Nº32:
display intensity Adjusting the display intensity on any Linked component will adjust
the displays in the other Linked components as well, keeping them all
at a consistent brightness level.
standby link Placing the Nº32 into standby will also place the compatible Mark
Levinson digital processor, transport and amplifier(s) into standby,
except during a digital recording session (see record link section, be-
low). Placing either digital component into standby will have no effect
on the Nº32, since you might well wish to continue listening to a differ-
ent source component such as a tuner.
Taking a Linked Mark Levinson source component out of Standby will
also cause the Nº32 to come out of Standby.
volume link A remote control for a linked Mark Levinson transport can (when that
transport is properly Linked) control the volume and mute status of
the Nº32 via the Linking system, allowing the use of a single remote for
both transport and (basic) preamp functions.
select link Similarly, a remote control for a linked Mark Levinson transport can
(when that transport is properly Linked) select inputs on the Nº32 via
the Linking system, allowing the use of a single remote for both trans-
