connectors: an AES/EBU-format XLR connector (labeled
AES/EBU), an asynchronous USB-B digital audio connector
(labeled with a USB icon
S/PDIF connectors (labeled T1 and T2), and two coaxial (RCA)
S/PDIF connectors (labeled C1 and C2).
USB port: This USB Type-A connector allows you to perform
firmware upgrades that may be offered in the future, and to
import and export setup configurations via a standard USB
drive or memory stick (FAT32 formatted). Firmware updates
may also be accomplished via download when the unit is
connected to a local area network (LAN) via an Ethernet
cable. (See page 23 for more detailed firmware update
instructions.)
Bluetooth: Bluetooth-enabled smart devices may be
paired with the N 5206 to stream audio content wirelessly.

Qualcomm aptX™-HD audio ensures your Bluetooth
®
wireless enabled device can deliver High Definition
(HD) audio. (See Setup on page 19 for Bluetooth pairing
instructions.)

unbalanced RCA and balanced XLR line-level output
connectors for connecting to an external power amplifier.
Note: The line outputs are variable and will follow the
settings of the volume, balance and mute controls.

IR input connector: This 1/8-inch (3.5mm) connector accepts
IR (infrared) control signals from other equipment. (See
illustration below.)
RS-232 port: This DB9F connector provides serial control
through a standard RS-232 protocol.
See www.MarkLevinson.com for RS232 code data.
Trigger output connector: This 3.5mm tip/sleeve connector
can be used to activate other components in the audio
system and listening room, such as amplifiers, lights and
window shades. A 12V 100mA DC signal is output whenever
the N 5206 is on. (See illustration below.)

Trigger input connector: This 3.5mm tip/sleeve connector
can be connected to the trigger output of another system
®
component or control system that supplies a trigger voltage.
Whenever the units detects a voltage between 5V and 12V
DC at this connection it will turn On . When the trigger signal
at this connection ceases the N
mode. (See illustration above.)
AC mains connector: This connector provides AC power
to the N 5206 when the supplied power cord is connected
0
from it to an AC electrical outlet. This should be the LAST
connection you make in the hookup process.
We recommend that you unplug the unit from the AC wall
outlet during lightning storms and extended periods of
non-use.
NOTE: After connecting all source components to the
N 5206, we suggest using the Setup menu to set the
0
names of all unused inputs to "Disable." This will remove
the unused inputs from the list of available inputs and
skip over them when scrolling through inputs. (See
Setup/Input on page 18 for more information.)
