The N 52 has been designed for use with 100 – 240-volt,
0
50Hz/60Hz AC (alternating current), with a maximum current
draw of 65W. It includes a detachable IEC power cable
intended for use in the region where the N
Connection to an AC voltage other than that for which the
N 52 is intended can create a safety and fire hazard and

may damage the unit. If you have any questions about the
voltage requirements for your N
in your area, contact your authorized Mark Levinson dealer

50Hz/60Hz ac, operating it from a voltage that is different
from that where the unit was originally shipped and sold
may require the use of a power cord that is different from
the one supplied with your N
mark levinson dealer for additional assistance.
warNiNg! make sUre all components in the audio
system are properly grounded. do not defeat the safety
purpose of polarized or grounding-type plugs with
"ground-lifter" or "cheater" adapters. doing so may cause

operatiNg states

The N 52 has three operating states:
0
off: The AC mains power is disconnected using the
Controller's rear-panel Power switch or by removing the
power cord from the Controller's rear panel.
standby: The N 52 Standby mode has three settings that
0
can be selected via the Setup menu: Green, Power Save,
and Normal.
Green: This mode removes power from almost all of the
N 52's circuits, allowing the unit to be activated only via an
0
IR control signal, a 5V – 12V trigger or a press of the Standby
button. This mode provides maximum power conservation
and is the factory-default Standby mode.
Power Save: This mode removes power from the N
audio circuits, but keeps the control circuitry powered
and ready to receive commands from either the front
panel controls or the remote control. This mode provides
moderate power conservation.
Normal: This mode shuts off the N
its audio outputs, but keeps all of its control and audio
circuits powered. This mode provides the least amount
of power conservation but allows the N
to remain warmed up to deliver optimal performance at
all times.
on: The entire N 52 is powered up and all configured
0
outputs are active.
The N 52 has an Auto Off feature that automatically places
0
it into the Standby mode after 20 minutes of no user control
input or audio signal passing through the unit. The factory-
default setting for the Auto Off feature is on (engaged). You
can turn the Auto Off feature off (disengaged) in the Setup
menu. See the N 52 User Guide for details.
0
You should unplug the N 52 from the AC wall outlet during
0
lightning storms and extended periods of non-use.
caUtioN: BeFore moving the N
powered off with the controller's rear-panel power
switch. then make sure the power cord is disconnected
from the controller's rear-panel connector and the ac
power outlet.
