Unpacking and Placement
Unpack your Nº38 Preamplifier and keep all packing materials for
future transport. Locate and remove all accessory items from the
cartons. Accessories include:
1 90
°
shielded AC power cord
1 Nº38 remote control
1 5 ⁄
64
" Allen key
1 1 ⁄
8
" Allen key
2 alkaline batteries for the remote control
Carefully inspect the product for damage and flaws. If you find any,
see your Mark Levinson dealer immediately.
Using the supplied 5 ⁄
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,
being 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 you notice that your remtoe 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 dicharged batteries are prone to leaking corrosive chemicals—
the greenish “gunk” you may have seen around battery terminals of
other remote controls at some point.)
The Nº38 should be placed close to your source equipment, keeping
interconnect cabling short. We strongly recommend shelf mounting to
allow for proper ventilation.
The Nº38 is designed for continuous operation, which is why it features
a
standby mode rather than a full “off” mode—it is designed to be
connected to the AC mains at all times for the best performance.
Be sure to allow 3 to 4 inches of clearance above the Nº38 to allow
heat dissipation through air circulation.
Drawings are included in this manual to facilitate special installations
and custom cabinetry (see “Dimensions”).
For your protection, review “Important Safety Instructions” before you
install your Nº38.
It is extremely important that all components in your system be
properly grounded. Under no circumstances should you defeat
a three-prong AC cord with a “ground-lifter” or “cheater”
adaptor, as doing so may allow dangerous voltages to build up
between components. The presence of these voltages would
pose a threat to both your person and your equipment.
