has significant on-board DSP resources for doing decoding and
downmixing as needed.
• Slot 12
This slot is reserved for the main zone digital signal processing
and the communications with the Nº40 video processor.
Although this card can be upgraded (if necessary at some point
in the future), the function of the card contained by this slot
will remain the same.
If you need any additional input cards for your Nº40, please contact
an authorized Mark Levinson dealer.
Extra RZone Cards The Nº40 supports up to four RZones (Remote and Record zones),
in order to support complex systems that might require as many as
five different sources being sent in as many as five different direc-
tions, simultaneously. Two RZones (both audio and video) are
provided as standard equipment. Additional RZone cards can be
added in pairs (audio and video) as needed to the maximum of four
RZones. (The fifth zone is your main room or theater.)
If your system would benefit from additional RZones beyond the
two that come as standard equipment in the Nº40, please contact
your authorized Mark Levinson dealer.
Amp Communication
Card
This option card is available to communicate with Mark Levinson
Amplifiers that do not have PhastLink connectors. This includes
the Nº33, Nº33H, Nº331, Nº332, Nº333, Nº431, Nº432 and Nº433. It
allows the Nº40 to control Standby operation and the LEDs of these
amplifiers. If you need an Amp Communication Card, please
contact your authorized Mark Levinson dealer.
Digital Output Card An option card is available to provide a two channel digital output
to replace the analog output cards that come standard with the
Nº40. This provides a digital audio and control stream for use with
Mark Levinson Two channel processors and the Nº32 Reference Pre-
amplifier. It allows owners of the Reference Two channel system
(Nº30.6 and Nº30) to continue using those products seamlessly
with the Nº40. One to four output cards can be replaced with
digital cards and each used with their own Nº30.6 and Nº32 combi-
nation. Any two channel processor can be used including the
Nº36S, Nº360 and Nº360S. If you would like to use a Digital Output
Card, please contact your authorized Mark Levinson dealer.
Six Channel Analog
Input Card
Many DVD audio and SACD players output multichannel audio
only through analog outputs. An option card is available to allow
these to be used with a Nº40. It accepts six channels of analog audio
and provides high-quality Analog-to-Digital conversion to acquire
these inputs for integration with the rest of your audio processing
in the Nº40. This allows a common setup for Bass and Delay
management and allows the Nº40 Listening Position settings to
