Linked Functions
The Nº380 has the ability to “link” several of its functions to certain
compatible Mark Levinson components (such as the Nº30.5 or Nº36S
digital processors and the Nº31.5 and Nº37 CD transport).
Note: To take advantage of linked functions, you must
connect the Nº380 to the other, compatible Mark
Levinson components via their communication ports.
(See “Rear Panel” and “Setup and Installation.”)
There are four linked functions in the Nº380:
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 Nº380 into standby will also place the compatible Mark
Levinson digital processor and transport into standby, except during a
digital recording session (see record link section, below). Placing ei-
ther digital component into standby will have no effect on the Nº380,
since you might well wish to continue listening to a different source
component such as a tuner.
Taking a Linked Mark Levinson source component out of Standby will
also cause the Nº380 to come out of Standby (and select the appropri-
ate input—see play link, below).
play link Placing your Mark Levinson transport in play will activate both the
corresponding Mark Levinson digital processor and the Nº380 if either
or both is in standby. In addition, the appropriate inputs will be se-
lected on the digital processor and on the Nº380 (specifically, the input
which has an name of a Mark Levinson source component such as
Nº30, No36 or No39).
Similarly, activating a Linked Mark Levinson digital processor will se-
lect the appropriate input on the Nº380 (should you be using the pro-
cessor with an unlinked DAT machine, for example).
