Nº40 Media Console Getting Started
DO NOT install either Nº40 chassis near unshielded TV or FM
antennas, cable TV decoders, and other RF-emitting devices that
might cause interference.
DO NOT place either Nº40 chassis on a windowsill or in another
location in which it will be exposed to direct sunlight.
DO NOT obstruct the IR receiver/transmitter located on the right
side of the video processor front panel display. When the Nº40 is
not using the IR input connector, the remote control IR transmitter
must be in line-of-sight with the front panel display IR receiver/
transmitter for proper remote control operation. See “Remote
Control” on page 4-1 for additional information.
Warning! MAKE SURE all components are properly grounded. Do not
defeat the safety purpose of polarized or grounding-type plugs
with “ground-lifter” or “cheater” adaptors. Doing so can cause
dangerous voltages to build up between components. The pres-
ence of these voltages may result in personal injuries and/or
product damage.
Rack mounting
If your equipment is bolted into a dedicated rack, you will be glad
to know that purpose-designed rack mounting shelves are available
for your Nº40. These solidly-built shelves not only provide for the
requisite ventilation, but also for the “dressing” of the many cables
behind the system. See “Rack Mount Kit” on page A-7. Please
contact your Mark Levinson dealer for additional information.
Heat considerations
The Nº40 video processor dissipates approximately 75 watts of
energy. The Nº40 audio processor dissipates about 100 watts. It is
therefore normal and perfectly safe for them to run somewhat
warm to the touch – think of a box that had a 100 watt light bulb
running in it all the time. They will not normally become uncom-
fortably hot to the touch, however.
Mechanical drawings are included in this manual to facilitate
special installations where necessary (See “Nº40 Video Processor
Dimensions” on page A-5, and “Nº40 Audio Processor Dimensions”
on page A-6).
