3N0 519 AUDIO PLAYER / OWNER’S MANUALENGLISHINSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONSUNPACKINGWhen unpacking your player: • Save all packing materials in case you need to ship your player in the future. • Inspect your player for signs of damage during shipment. If you discover damage, contact your authorized Mark Levinson dealer for assistance in making appropriate claims. • Please register your audio player within 15 days of purchase at marklevinson.com. • Retain your original, dated sales receipt as proof of warranty coverage.• Remove the accessory box from the shipping carton. Make sure that all of the items listed below are included. If any are missing, contact your authorized Mark Levinson dealer.o IEC power cord (terminated according to the region to which the unit is shipped) o Remote control with preinstalled batterieso Phillips screwdriver (for replacing remote batteries)o Pair of white gloves (for use during unpacking and initial setup)o DocumentationPLACEMENT AND VENTILATION • Install the player on a shelf in an open rack, to ensure proper ventilation.• Ensure that you install the player on a solid, flat and level surface. • Install the player as close as possible to associated audio components to keep interconnecting cables as short as possible. • Select a dry, well-ventilated location that is out of direct sunlight. • DO NOT expose the player to high temperatures, humidity, steam, smoke, dampness, or excessive dust.POWER REQUIREMENTS The player is configured at the factory for 100, 115, or 230 VAC power operation at 50Hz or 60Hz. Before operating, ensure that the power label on the rear panel near the AC input connector indicates the correct operating voltage. A detachable IEC power cable intended for use in the region where the unit is sold is included. Connection to an AC voltage other than that for which the unit is intended can create a safety and fire hazard and may damage the unit. If you have any questions about the voltage requirements for your preamplifier or about the line voltage in your area, contact your authorized Mark Levinson dealer before plugging the unit into an AC power outlet. WARNING! MAKE SURE all components in the audio system are properly grounded. Do NOT defeat the safety purpose of polarized or grounding-type plugs with “ground-lifter” or “cheater” adapters. Doing so may cause dangerous voltage to build up between components, which may result in personal injuries and/or product damage. You should unplug the audio player from the AC wall outlet during lightning storms and extended periods of non-use. CAUTION: BEFORE moving the unit, make sure it is powered off by removing the power cord from the AC power outlet and the unit’s rear panel.ORIGINAL ANTENNA The unit’s Wi-Fi antenna cannot be replaced with an alternate. Use of any other antenna is not covered by warranty, may result in degraded performance, and may violate regulations in your country.

19N0 519 AUDIO PLAYER / OWNER’S MANUALENGLISHIncorrect operation is sometimes mistaken for malfunction. If problems occur, see this section for troubleshooting information. If problems persist, contact your authorized Mark Levinson dealer. NO POWERExamine the power cord to ensure that it is connected to both the AC mains connector and a working, unswitched electrical outlet. Make sure the player is powered on with the rear-panel Power switch. Examine the electrical circuit breaker to ensure that power is being supplied to the electrical outlet to which the player is connected. Make sure the player is not in standby. The front-panel standby LED illuminates fully and continually when the player is On. The LED flashes slowly when the player is in Standby mode. REMOTE CONTROL DOES NOT OPERATEEliminate obstructions between the remote control IR transmitter and the IR receiver on the front-panel display. Make sure the rear-panel IR input connector is not being used. Make sure the remote control is positioned within 17 feet (5m) of the front panel. If the chassis is placed inside a glass cabinet, tinted glass will reduce the remote control range. Make sure the remote control signal is being received at the IR receiver on the front-panel display at a reasonable angle. Make sure the IR receiver on the front-panel display is not exposed to strong sunlight, halogen light, or fluorescent light. This can cause IR reception to become unreliable. Replace the remote control batteries. NO SIGNAL AT THE OUTPUTSExamine all audio cables to ensure a solid connection between the player and all associated components. Examine the speaker cables to ensure a solid connection between the player and the amplifiers or preamplifier to which is is connected. Make sure that the connected speakers are operational. Make sure the volume is set to an audible level. Make sure the mute is deactivated. Make sure the Offset setting for the selected input is not reducing the volume to an inaudible level. Make sure all associated components are connected to working electrical outlets and powered on. Make sure the source device connected to the player’s selected input is producing an output signal. MISSING INPUTMake sure the selected input has not been set to Disabled in the Input Setup menu. TROUBLESHOOTINGTROUBLESHOOTING

20 N0 519 AUDIO PLAYER / OWNER’S MANUALAUDIO HUMDisconnect components one at a time to isolate the problem. Once the problem is identified, make sure the problematic component is properly grounded and connected to the same electrical circuit as the player. VOLUME CAN’T BE SET TO MAXIMUMYou have the option of establishing a maximum volume level in the menu. If this option is set, it can prevent the unit’s maximum volume level of 80.0 from being reached. FRONT PANEL DISPLAY NOT WORKING AS EXPECTEDThe display may be set to shut off after no front panel control activity. If the display does not come on when the volume control is rotated, contact your authorized Mark Levinson dealer. If the display does come on, and then shut off after a period, the “Display Timeout” setting can be adjusted to lengthen or shorten this period, or to keep the display illuminated continuously.NO NETWORK CONNECTIVITYVerify that the network cables are properly connected between the router, switch or hub and the preamp. Verify the age of the router, switch or hub. If the router, switch or hub is more than ten years old, there may be a communication issue with the preamp. Power cycle the player and use a newer router, switch or hub between the network and the player. IF ALL ELSE FAILS…Power cycle the player with the rear-panel Power switch, waiting at least 10 seconds between powering the unit off and on. Restore factory-default settings.Contact your authorized Mark Levinson dealer.Contact Mark Levinson Customer Service at 888-691-4171 or marklevinson.com. TROUBLESHOOTING
