You may also set a maximum volume level for the Nº383, a particularly

You may wish to use the DC trigger output on the rear panel of the

Nº383 to turn on some other component automatically when the

Nº383 itself is on. If so, you have two trigger options: either a
12V
(constant) voltage that is present whenever the Nº383 is opera-
level
tional, and absent when the Nº383 is in standby; or a
when-
5V pulse

The last item in the setup menu is a software version number that iden-

this software, and you can compare that number to the one shown in
your display.
Although we do not anticipate frequent software updates for the Nº383
(after all, it does not have to contend with the ever-changing standards
for digital audio decoding), it has been designed to readily accept new
software should it become available. For example, if we were to add
some new convenience feature to the Nº383 at a future date, your
dealer could easily download the new software from our web site to his
computer, and from there to your unit, all without having to open the
product up. In fact, if the rear panel
port is accessible, you do
RS-232
not even have to disconnect the preamplifier from the rest of the sys-
tem for such an update.
