Nº40 Media Console Front Panel Operation

• To “cue up” the next video source prior to sending the signal to

the main display;

• To monitor what is happening on any Remote or Record zones

(“RZones”).

The behavior of the LCD display is affected by the preference

setting found in the User options menu. See “Menu System” on

page 5-1 for more details.

Zone knob

The Nº40 Media Console is a “multi-zone” system – it can manage

several signals at once, as if it were several separate systems. This

multiplies the value of all the source components connected to the

Nº40, since they are now more widely available.

For example, you can watch television on your satellite receiver,

while copying a home video from your camcorder to a VCR, while

someone else in the study listens to music – all from the same

system. In fact, you can have as many as four remote or record

“zones” of independent operation in addition to the main zone, by

adding a few extra cards to your Nº40. Any source connected to the

system can be sent to any zone, whether for recording purposes or

enjoyment in a remote part of the house. Since any of these zones

can be used for either Recording or for Remote access to the system,

we call them “RZones.”

The zone knob controls the zone (main zone or RZone) you are

either monitoring or controlling at any point in time. By turning

the zone knob, you will call up an on-screen list of the available

zones, from which you can choose the one you wish to use. Once

selected, the audio and video signals chosen for that zone are

presented in the main room for your review and control. You can

select a different source (using the input select knob), cue up some-

thing to be recorded, or check to see what is going on in a different

zone.

If you want to see what is happening in another zone without

affecting what happens in the main room, press the preview button

before you select anything with the zone knob. This allows you to

see (though not to hear) the signal being sent to a different zone

without interrupting the music or movies playing in the main

room.

The Mark Levinson Nº40 normally includes two RZones (both

audio and video) as standard equipment, in addition to the main

room's outputs. If you would like to have additional RZones

installed, please contact your authorized Mark Levinson dealer.

Lastly, thanks to its proximity to the menu select and enter buttons

on the front panel, when in a menu the zone knob can also be used

to select from among items in a menu. Turning it moves the cursor

up or down in the list, highlighting different items in turn. You can

press menu select to cancel out of a menu item (moving back up

one level in the hierarchy), or enter to save a change or advance to
