delay to initialize and run some self-diagnostics, the Nº40 will be
ready for initial setup and use. Please wait until their standby LEDs
begin blinking together, indicating that the initialization and self-
test routines are complete and the system has entered standby.
The Nº40 is designed to be left in Standby when not in use, rather
than completely “off.” Being in Standby allows it to respond to
commands from the remote control and maintains a stable oper-
ating temperature at all times for optimal performance and
longevity.
Warning The Mark Levinson Nº40 has been safety-tested and is designed
for operation with a three-conductor power cord. Do not defeat
the earth ground pin of the AC power cord.
Main S-Video Output
The video signal that has been selected for the main zone will be
available in S-video form on this connector, regardless of the format

composite video or from component video) is done automatically.
All the main video outputs on the Nº40 are active at all times.
Figure 3-7: Main S-Video Output. Connect this main S-video output to an appropriate display device
(or external video processor) as needed. For example, if you are

device (or external video processor) as needed.

view television for watching things like the nightly news, you can
