place only the Nº31.5 into standby mode (since you may wish to
listen to another input on your processor).
When the Nº31.5 is first turned on, the standby link setting is
on .
■ Alias link: Mark Levinson digital processors allow you to set an “in-
put alias” for each of their sources; this alternative name appears
on their display. The Nº31.5’s alias link automatically overrides the
alias setting for its input. When you select the Nº31.5’s input, the
processor will show
No31 on its display.
When the Nº31.5 is first turned on, the alias link setting is on.
■ Play link: When you press the Nº31.5’s play button, this link auto-
matically selects the Nº31.5’s input on the digital processor.
Note: If you’ve connected the Nº31.5 to two or more of the
digital processor’s inputs, the play link will look first for AES/EBU
interconnection, then S/PDIF, then ST, and finally EIAJ.
When the Nº31.5 is first turned on, the play link setting is on.
■ Display link: This links the display intensity functions of the Nº31.5
and the digital processor. When the components are linked, both
displays will be set to the same brightness. Pressing
display inten-
sity on either component will affect both displays.
When the Nº31.5 is first turned on, the display link setting is on.
■ Polarity link: This links the d/a polarity button on the Nº31.5’s Re-
mote Control to the polarity invert function of the digital processor.
The polarity link also allows inverted polarity to be saved with
a program. When inverted polarity is part of a saved program, this
link turns on the digital processor’s
polarity invert function. (See
Programming.)
The polarity link setting is always on, and can’t be changed.
In addition to the Setting Options, the Nº31.5 has the ability to play
“Index 0,” the CD equivalent of the “lead-in grooves” on an LP.
The Nº31.5 allows you to change the Index 0 option and its six Link options to
suit your own preferences. [Note: The polarity link setting is always on, and can’t
be changed.]
1. Make sure that the main power switch is set to the “on” (“|”) posi-
tion.
2. Enable the Nº31.5’s controls by pressing standby .
Note: To change your Nº31.5’s link settings, your Mark Levinson
digital processor also must be connected (linked) and turned on.
3. Press and hold the front-panel display mode button and hold it
until SET OPTIONS appears on the display. [Note: In several seconds,
if you make no changes to the link settings, the display will go back
into its standard mode. To return to
SET OPTIONS , press and hold
display mode again.]
4. Click the display mode button a few times. The display will show
each of your Nº31.5’s options, in this order:
INDEX 0 – (available even without Linking)
RECORD LINK – (seen only when Linked)
MUTE LINK – (seen only when Linked)
STANDBYLINK + (seen only when Linked)
