PROGRAM/TIME
While remaining in

stop

, you may advance the display to any desired track

using the

track –

and

track +

keys. Pressing

prgm/time

followed by the

track +

(or

track –

) button will add (or delete) the displayed track to that

disc’s playlist.

On the other hand, pressing

prgm/time

followed by a number on the nu-

meric keypad gives you direct time access to any point on the disc. Note
that this time access is context-sensitive: that is, when the display is time
elapsed in track
mode, pressing prg/time followed by 1, 2, 3 will cue up
the Nº31.5 at 1:23 into the current track; doing so in time remaining on
disc
mode will cue up the Nº31.5 at 1:23 before the end of the disc.

“PREAMP” FUNCTIONS

(+)

raise volume

: Pressing this button on the Nº31.5 remote control

will transparently and automatically raise the volume of a Linked
Mark Levinson preamplifier, minimizing the need to juggle mul-
tiple remotes. This function is available even when the Nº31.5 is in
standby, in which case its display will activate long enough to
confirm your command visually. Since this function depends on
the ability of the Nº31.5 to pass the instruction to the Nº38S (for
example), the two components must be connected by a Link
cable, and operate within a system which has a “master” digital
processor. (See Setting Options for more information.)

input

: Pressing this button on the Nº31.5 remote control once will

display the current status of the input selection control, for ex-
ample

No30 on No31

(to indicate that the Nº30 or Nº30.5 digital

processor has the Nº31.5 as its selected source). Clicking the button
again while this information is displayed will automatically cycle
through the various active (e.g., not named

NOT USED

) digital in-

puts on a Linked Mark Levinson digital processor, minimizing the
need to juggle multiple remotes. This function is available even
when the Nº31.5 is in standby, in which case its display will acti-
vate long enough to confirm your command visually. Since this
function depends on the ability of the Nº31.5 to pass the instruc-
tion to the processor, the two components must be connected by

Analog Input Switching

Alternatively, you may force the

input

button to select from among

your analog inputs on a Linked Mark Levinson preamplifier
(assuming you have one) by:

• Clicking on the

input

button to display the current status

of the input selection control. (It will show something like

No30 on No31

, for example.)

• Pressing and holding the

input

button until the Nº31.5 dis-

play indicates that it is now controlling the preamplifier, by
displaying something like

No38 on No30

(for example; this

would indicate that the No38 preamplifier has the No30
digital processor as its selected source
)

• Then clicking the

input

button to cycle the preamplifier

through its active inputs (e.g., not named

NOT USED

)
