3 AC POWER CORD SOCKET
This socket accepts AC mains power via the supplied AC power cord.
4 FUSE COMPARTMENT
The panel surrounding the
main power switch is also a hinged cover for
the Nº31.5’s fuse compartment. The Nº31.5 uses two 1.0-ampere slo-blow
fuses (type T1A slow-blo 5x20mm).
Warning! Never attempt to open the fuse compartment without first
removing the AC power cord from the Nº31.5. If you need to
replace the fuses, always use the same type of fuse.
To open the fuse compartment, insert the tip of a small, flat-bladed screw-
driver into the slot at the top edge of this panel. Gently pry open the top
edge of the compartment cover.
5-6 SLAVE OUT and SLAVE IN
These communication ports allow the Nº31.5 to “link” to certain compat-
ible Mark Levinson components via the Madrigal Communications Link sys-
tem (MCL). (See Setting Options.) When making these connections (which
resemble large versions of standard U.S. telephone connectors), make sure
that the Link cable’s locking tabs engage securely in the components’ com-
munication ports.
To set up a Linked system consisting only of transport and processor:
1. Using a Link cable (see Madrigal Communications Link), connect
the master port on the Mark Levinson digital processor to the
Nº31.5’s slave in port.
2. Make sure that the digital audio connection between the two op-
erates (you should see “44.1” on the processor, indicating that it
has locked onto the Nº31.5’s output).
3. Press play on the Nº31.5—that’s it.
To add multiple Mark Levinson transports to the system, simply connect the
first Nº31.5’s
slave out port to the second Nº31.5’s slave in port. Subsequent
transports are connected from slave out to slave in in a “daisy chain.”
If you are linking a Mark Levinson preamplifier, it must be the last compo-
nents in this “daisy chain.” Run a Link cable from the last
slave out port to
the slave port of the Mark Levinson preamplifier. (Mark Levinson power
amplifiers employ a different, special linking connection from the preampli-
fier.)
Caution: Connecting the communication ports other than as
described in this manual may damage the Nº31.5 and the
digital processor, and will void the products’ warranties.
