ST OPTICAL DIGITAL INPUT (#3)
This input accepts the
digital audio signal
(
DAS)
, via optical cable
equipped with the ST-type optical connector (sometimes called “AT&T”)
from digital sources such as a compact disc transport, laser disc transport,
digital audio tape transport, digital broadcast receiver.
5
BNC S/PDIF ELECTRICAL DIGITAL INPUT (#4)
This input accepts the
digital audio signal
(
DAS
) via cables equipped with
BNC-type connectors from digital sources such as a compact disc transport,
laser disc transport, digital audio tape transport, digital broadcast receiver.
This input conforms to the Sony/Philips Digital Interface Standard (S/PDIF),
which calls for a 75
Ω
transmission of the DAS. Use a digital interconnecting
cable specifically designed for the 75
Ω
S/PDIF standard, such as Madrigal
MDC-2 cable, when using this input.

EIAJ OPTICAL DIGITAL INPUTS (#6)
This input accepts
digital audio signal
(
DAS
) via optical cable equipped
with the EIAJ optical connector (sometimes called “Toslink™”) from digital
sources such as a compact disc transport, laser disc transport, digital audio
tape transport, digital broadcast receiver.

EXTERNAL IR INPUT
The Nº36 incorporates an infrared repeater input to facilitate a wide range
of installation options. If desired, the Nº36 may be placed inside a cabinet
or outside the normal line-of-sight in the listening area, with the controlling
IR signal being relayed to the Nº36 by any of a number of commercially-
available IR repeaters.
The specifications for this IR input call for a triggering voltage of 5 volts at
no more than 100 milliamps of current, with the tip of the
1

" mini-plug
having positive polarity, as below:

If you would like more information on the possibility of using an infrared
repeater with your Nº36, please contact your Mark Levinson dealer.
