Mark Levinson 30.6 - Break-In Period

9
4 Connect the power supply leads from the PLS-330 to the
Nº30.6
There are three power supply leads which run from the rear of the
PLS-330 to the rear of the Nº30.6. The analog DC cables for the
left channel and the right channel towers use special five-pin con-
nectors on both ends. The digital DC cable for the center section
uses a two conductor connector at each end. These cables are not
directional.
5 Connect the AC cord to the PLS-330 and to your AC outlet
The AC recepticle for the power cord is located underneath the
PLS-330, in the center of the unit. (This design reduces noise by
bringing the power into the chassis precisely where it is needed,
rather than routing it throughout the unit.) The Nº30.6 will take a
few moments to initialize and will then be ready to use.

Break-in period Although your Mark Levinson Nº30.6 digital processor delivers out-
standing performance straight out of the box, you should expect to
hear it continue to improve as it reaches its normal operating tempera-
tures and its various components “break-in.” It has been out experience
that the greatest changes occur within the first 25-50 hours, but that
the Nº30.6 will continue to improve in sound quality for about 300
hours, after which time it remains quite constant.
The only exception to this rule is if power is removed from the unit for
an extended period, allowing it to cool down. In this case you should
expect a brief warm-up period before the Nº30.6’s sound quality is at
its best.
