Link Controls
Linking Mark Levinson components allows them to share certain
controls. The table below provides a general description of
controls the Nº33H shares with other linked components. Some
controls may not be available for certain component
combinations. Other Mark Levinson components may share
additional controls. Refer to the appropriate documentation for
additional information.

Link
Placing the linked preamplifier into
standby
also places all linked power amplifiers into
standby
. Taking the linked preamplifier out of
standby
also takes all linked power amplifiers
out of
standby
.
If a linked power amplifier experiences a fault condition ,
it will report the fault condition to the linked preamplifier.
If this occurs, the power amplifier number and fault
condition code will appear on the preamplifier front
panel display.
The power amplifier number refers to its position in the
slave chain. For example,
AMP1
refers to the first power
amplifier in the slave chain. Power amplifier
fault
condition
codes are described in the table to the right.
Placing a linked power amplifier into
standby
also places all other linked power amplifiers
into
standby
. Taking a linked power amplifier
out of
standby
also takes all other linked power
amplifiers out of
standby
.

Note the following:
• Linked components must be powered on
ONE AT A TIME
in
the specific order listed in step 3 (previous page) to ensure
proper functioning of Link controls.
• Link controls must be enabled on the linked digital transport
linking menu, which allows activation and deactivation of
individual Link controls. Refer to the appropriate digital
transport owner’s manual for additional information.
• Some Mark Levinson digital transports accommodate a maximum
of four front panel display characters. In these cases, certain
input names appear abbreviated on the front panel display.
For example, an input named No320S will appear as No32 on
the digital transport front panel display even though the
input is associated with the Nº 320S.
• The linked preamplifier and power amplifier(s) must be in the
same
standby
state to allow the linked power amplifier(s) to
enter
standby
after a power failure.
