Troubleshooting
In general, refer any service problems to your Mark Levinson dealer. Before con-
tacting your dealer, however, check to see if the problem is listed here. If it is, try
the suggested solutions. If none of these solves the problem, contact your Mark
Levinson dealer.
1.
THE Nº36 WON’T FUNCTION, AND THE DISPLAY IS DARK.
✓
The standby button on the front panel isn’t turned on.
✓
The Nº36 isn’t plugged into the AC mains.
✓
The wall socket, adapter, or extension cord is faulty.
✓
There’s a tripped circuit breaker or blown fuse in the wall
outlet’s circuit.
✓
A fuse is blown in your Nº36 (contact your Mark Levinson
dealer).
2.
THE DISPLAY IS LIT, BUT THERE IS NO OUTPUT
✓
The proper source isn’t selected on your Nº36.
✓
The proper source isn’t selected on your preamplifier.
✓
The interconnecting cables are connected incorrectly or are
faulty.
3.
THE Nº36 DISPLAY READS “CD1 OFF.”
✓
The selected digital source component for Input #1 is turned
off.
✓
The digital connection between the digital source and the Nº36
is faulty.
4.
THE LINKED FUNCTIONS DON’T WORK.
✓
The Link cable is disconnected, or is connected incorrectly.
✓
The digital audio cable is disconnected, or is connected incor-
rectly (in which case the Display Link function would continue
to work correctly, but none of the others would work).
✓
Try turning off/disconnecting AC power from both the transport
and the Nº36. After several seconds, restore AC power to the
digital processor,
then
turn on the Nº31’s
main power
switch.
✓
You may have older versions of the system software in your as-
sociated Mark Levinson components which do not fully support
all Linked functions. Contact your Mark Levinson dealer with the
model and serial numbers of your Mark Levinson components.
If needed, new EPROMs will be provided at no charge.
5.
MY Nº36 KEEPS DISPLAYING “6 DB PAD!” WHENEVER I CHANGE IN-
PUTS.
✓
Your processor is reminding you that it is in the automatic gain-
matching mode required (as a default) by the HDCD license. To
defeat this mode and reminder (and improve the sound of your
Nº36), follow the instructions on page 12 of this manual.
