3 CONNECT THE Nº31.5 TO THE AC MAINS
Insert the supplied shielded AC cord into the IEC-standard AC socket on
the rear panel of the Nº31.5. Check to ensure that the power switch is in
the “Off” (
O ) position. Double-check the voltage label on the rear panel of
the Nº31.5 to ensure that it matches the supplied AC voltage in your country.
If the voltage indicated is incorrect, or if you wish to change the AC operat-
ing voltage of the Nº31.5, see your Mark Levinson dealer.
Assuming everything matches, plug the other end of the power cord into
the AC mains and turn on the power switch (to its
| position).

Note: The Nº31.5 will not achieve its sonic potential right away — sonic
performance is close to the optimum within a day or two of normal use.
For the best performance, you may leave the
main power switch on at all
times, except when you won’t be using your Nº31.5 for a long period. (See
Important Safety Instructions).
The Nº31.5 may be turned on and off without significantly affecting its lon-
gevity. When it is turned on after being left turned off (as opposed to
standby), allow about one hour before expecting optimal sonic perfor-
mance. (This assumes that it remained at room temperature while off. A
chilled transport will take somewhat longer to revive.)
4 CONNECT A DIGITAL OUTPUT TO YOUR PROCESSOR
To keep interconnect cabling as short as possible, place the Nº31.5 as close
as possible to your digital processor. You may place it on a shelf or in a
cabinet where it’s convenient to operate.
As a precaution, turn off your other components (especially the power am-
plifier). Then, using a high quality, purpose-designed digital interconnect,
connect an output of the Nº31.5 to the corresponding input of your digital
processor.
5 IF YOU HAVE A MARK LEVINSON DIGITAL PROCESSOR, CONNECT THE
COMMUNICATIONS LINK CABLE
Mark Levinson components employ a sophisticated inter-component com-
munications system that offers many operational advantages and user con-
veniences not otherwise possible. If you have a Mark Levinson digital audio
processor, connect the supplied Link cable from the processor’s
master
communications port to the Nº31.5’s slave in port.
