in various lengths and terminated with RCA, XLR, and Camac connec-
tors.
Using high quality cable, connect the appropriate output of the Nº30.6
to an input of your preamplifier. The output impedance of the Nº30.6
is extremely low, which allows you to use more than one output simul-
taneously without degrading performance, should you have any reason
to do so. For example, you might supply a multi-room system with the
signal of the Nº30.6 as well as your main music system.
Making Link
Connections
The Nº30.6 incorporates sophisticated inter-component communica-
tions capabilities when Linked to compatible Mark Levinson compo-
nents. (See “Communications Ports” in ”Rear Panel.”) If you own com-
patible Mark Levinson digital source components or preamplifiers,
connect them to the Nº30.6 with an eight-conductor RJ-45 cable as de-
scribed on page 18. You may find that you need to cycle power off and
on once after making this connection for the first time (if making the
connection to a previously oeprating component), in order to ensure
that all components in the chain are aware of each other’s presence.
Making Power Supply
Connections
After making all signal connections, connect the left channel’s
analog
dc in
on the rear panel of the Nº30.6 to the
left analog dc out
on the
rear panel of the PLS-330; likewise, connect the right channel’s
analog
dc in
on the rear panel of the Nº30.6 to the
right analog dc out
on
the rear panel of the PLS-330.
Connect
digital dc in
on the rear panel of the Nº30.6 to the
digital dc
out
on the rear panel of the PLS-330.
Connect the AC cord to the AC power connector on the bottom panel
of the PLS-330, then connect the AC cord to the AC mains; the LED on
the PLS-330 and the
standby
LED on the Nº30.6 will light. After a few
seconds, the Nº30.6 will begin its self-test, after which it shows
CD1
LOCKING
to indicate that it is attempting to lock onto input 1’s digital
signal.
The Nº30.6 is now ready to operate.
For optimal sonic performance and longevity, the Nº30.6/PLS-330 is
designed to remain powered at all times. The
standby
button is pro-
vided so that you may turn off the display and disable the front-panel
controls when the Nº30.6 isn’t in use (see “Front panel, Nº30.6”).
Naming Your Inputs
All inputs other than 1 and 5 are labelled
NOT USED
as delivered from
the factory, and will need to be given appropriate names before they are
