Alias link (Nº30 only): The Nº30 allows you to set an "input alias"
for each of its sources; this alias appears on the Nº30's Display.
The Nº31's alias link automatically overrides the alias setting for its
input. When you select the Nº31's input, the Nº30 will show No31
on its Display.
When the Nº31 is first turned on, the alias link setting is on .
Play link: When you press the Nº31's Play button, this link
automatically selects the Nº31's input on the digital processor.
Note: If you've connected the Nº31 to two or more of the
digital processor's inputs, the play link will look first for
AES/EBU interconnection, then SPDIF, then ST, and finally
EIAJ.
When the Nº31 is first turned on, the play link setting is on .
Display link: This links the display intensity functions of the Nº31
and the digital processor.
When the components are linked, both Displays will be set to the
same brightness. Pressing display intensity on either component
will affect both Displays.
Note: Though the Nº35 has no display intensity button or
alphanumeric Display, its LEDs will be linked to the Nº31's
LEDs.
When the Nº31 is first turned on, the display link setting is on .
Polarity link: This links the d/a polarity button on the Nº31's
Remote Control to the polarity invert function of the digital
processor.
The polarity link also allows inverted polarity to be saved with a
program. When inverted polarity is part of a saved program, this
link turns on the digital processor's polarity invert function. (See
"Programming.")
The polarity link setting is always on , and can't be changed.
In addition to the Linked Functions, the Nº31 has the ability to play
"Index 0," the CD equivalent of the "lead-in grooves" on an LP.
Index 0: When this option has been selected, pressing Play will
begin each track at Index 0 rather than at the usual Index 1,
resulting in a brief "count-down" to the beginning of the music.
If you prefer all track and index operations to use Index 0 as the
effective beginning of a given track (to hear the applause
before a song on a live recording, for example), you may select
Index 0 in the Set Options menu, described on the next page.
