This guide also covers setup for SSP (Surround Sound Processor) mode.
SPECIAL DESIGN FEATURES SPECIAL DESIGN FEATURES Architecture The foundation of the N0585 is its fully-discrete, mirror-imaged, dual-monaural analog circuitry featuring individual signal switching relays for each of its four stereo inputs: one balanced (XLR) and three single-ended (RCA). Volume controls use discrete 15-bit R-2R ladders and low-noise analog switches for the widest possible bandwidth and maximum signal integrity.
SETUP MENU SETUP MENU This section explains the use of the Setup menus on your N0585, which allow you to customize and configure the unit. SETUP MENU NAVIGATION Pressing the Setup button displays the Setup menu on the integrated amplifier’s front-panel display. When the Setup menu is active, use the Select knob to scroll through options, the Enter button to select and deselect options, and the Volume knob to adjust parameters.
SETUP MENU The following settings are available only for the digital inputs. ENGLISH PCM Filter: This setting lets you set the filter characteristic for PCM content: Fast: This filter has a steep roll-off characteristic that may be better suited when listening to electric or electronic music. Slow: This filter has a gradual roll-off characteristic that is well suited to most types of music. Mphas: This is a minimum-phase filter that may be better suited when listening to acoustic music.
SETUP MENU VOLUME CONTROL Setup Menu Volume Control Input Setup Max=XXX Volume Control Mute=XXX Power Mgmt Turn On=XXX Advanced Taper=XXX The Volume Control settings let you customize the action of the N0585‘s Volume and Mute functions. Taper: This setting lets you choose the desired taper for the volume control, from the following options: Max Vol: This setting lets you set a maximum Speaker output and Line output volume level setting in 0.1dB increments between 40.0dB and 80.0dB.
SETUP MENU Setup Menu ENGLISH POWER MANAGEMENT Power Mgmt Input Setup Standby=XXX Volume Control AutoOff=XXX Power Mgmt Display=XXX Advanced The Power Management parameters let you customize powerrelated functions. Standby: This setting lets you set the Standby mode to one of the following options: Green: This mode removes power from almost all of the N0585s circuits, allowing the unit to be activated only via an IR control signal, a 5V – 12V trigger voltage or a press of the Standby button.
SETUP MENU ADVANCED Setup Menu Advanced Input Setup Firmware Volume Control Connect Power Mgmt Config Advanced Network Output Trigger Front IR The Advanced section of the Setup menu gives you access to a range of configuration and administrative settings and functions. Firmware: This menu gives you access to the following firmware-related functions: Ver: Displays the version number of the currently loaded firmware. (This setting is informational only, and does not provide any user adjustments.
SETUP MENU Setup Menu ENGLISH OUTPUT Output Input Setup High Pass Volume Control Line Out Power Mgmt PwrAmp Advanced Output The Output section of the Setup menu lets you configure the N0585’s outputs. High Pass: This menu allows you to activate a 12dB/octave Butterworth 80Hz high-pass filter on the N0585’s speaker outputs.
SSP SETUP SSP SETUP In the past, the differing number of channels in each component made integration between two-channel and multichannel components difficult. Sending multichannel processor output signals to a stereo Preamplifier distorts calibrated processor output levels. Multichannel processor volume controls adjust the relative volume level of all channels in unison.

TROUBLESHOOTING TROUBLESHOOTING Incorrect 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 POWER Examine the power cord to ensure that it is connected to both the AC mains connector and a working, unswitched electrical outlet. Make sure the N0585 is powered on with the rear-panel Power switch.
TROUBLESHOOTING ENGLISH AUDIO HAS A HUMMING SOUND Disconnect 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 N0585. VOLUME CAN’T BE SET TO MAXIMUM You have the option of establishing a maximum volume level in the Setup menu. If this option is set, it can prevent the N0585’s maximum volume level of 80.0 from being reached.
