Mark Levinson N 326S - Manual (Page 16)

1-8
Getting Started Mark Levinson
After this initial period, performance will remain consistent unless
power is disconnected from the ~ac mains connector. Power is
disconnected from the ~ac mains connector when the Nº326S is
powered off with the front panel power button; the power cord is
disconnected from the ~ac mains connector or the electrical outlet;
or an extended power failure or power outage occurs. Power is not
disconnected from the ~ac mains connector when the Nº326S is
in standby.
When power returns, the Nº326S will require a brief warm-up and
break-in period (not the full 300 hours). It is recommended to
allow the Nº326S and other audio components to stabilize for
about 2 minutes.
Note
• When powered on with the front panel power button,
the Nº326S automatically enters standby after completing
the initialization sequence.
• The main output connectors are muted while the
Nº326S performs the initialization sequence.
Continuous Operation The Nº326S should be unplugged during lightning storms and
extended periods of non-use. Otherwise, it is designed for
continuous operation. For best performance, make sure power is
connected to the ~ac mains connector at all times. During
normal operation, do not use the power button to power off the
Nº326S. Instead, use the front panel or remote control standby
button to place the Nº326S into standby, which allows the
Nº326S to remain warmed-up to deliver optimal performance at
all times.
