Mark Levinson N32 - Manual (Page 28)

2-10
Basic Operation Mark Levinson
Earth ground
connector
Provides an earth-reference ground connection in countries where
the AC mains does not establish its own earth ground connection.
In these countries, use a grounding wire to connect the Nº32 to a
known earth ground such as a water pipe running through the
ground or a copper spike driven into the ground. Contact an autho-
rized Mark Levinson dealer for additional assistance.
Remote Control
The Nº32 remote control provides full operation of the Nº32. It
requires special consideration during operation to ensure optimal
performance. Pay particular attention to instructions included in
this section and to precautions included throughout this owner’s
manual.
The right side of the front panel display includes an IR receiver/
transmitter that receives infrared commands from the remote
control IR transmitter when the Nº32 is not using the IR input
connector. The IR receiver/transmitter also sends Nº32 IR
commands to a learning remote control during IR learning. See
“Teach IR” on page 3-8 for additional information.
Note
The items below are not applicable when the Nº32 is using the IR
input connector.
When operating the remote control:
DO eliminate obstructions between the remote control IR trans-
mitter and the front panel display IR receiver/transmitter.
DO position the remote control within ±45° of a line that is
perpendicular to the front panel display IR receiver/transmitter. At
more severe angles, attempt to “bounce” the remote control signal
off a wall or another surface so the signal is received at the IR
receiver/transmitter at a reasonable angle.
DO position the remote control within 17 feet (5m) of the front
panel display IR receiver/transmitter. If the Nº32 is placed inside a
glass cabinet, tinted glass will reduce the remote control range.
DO replace the remote control batteries as needed. In some cases,
the remote control IR transmitter LED will light more dimly (or not
at all) if the remote control batteries need to be replaced. See
“Remote Control Batteries” on page 1-6 for instructions.
DO NOT obstruct the front panel display IR receiver/transmitter,
which must be in line-of-sight with the remote control IR trans-
mitter for proper remote control operation.
