INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS

UNPACKING

When unpacking your player:

• Save all packing materials in case you need to ship your

player in the future.

• Inspect your player for signs of damage during shipment. If

you discover damage, contact your authorized Mark Levinson

dealer for assistance in making appropriate claims.

• Please register your audio player within 15 days of purchase

at marklevinson.com.

o Remote control with preinstalled batteries

o Phillips screwdriver (for replacing remote batteries)

o Pair of white gloves (for use during unpacking and

initial setup)

o Documentation

PLACEMENT AND VENTILATION

• Install the player on a shelf in an open rack, to ensure proper

ventilation.

• Ensure that you install the player on a solid, flat and level

surface.

• Install the player as close as possible to associated audio

components to keep interconnecting cables as short as

possible.

• Select a dry, well-ventilated location that is out of direct

sunlight.

• DO NOT expose the player to high temperatures, humidity,

steam, smoke, dampness, or excessive dust.

POWER REQUIREMENTS

The player is configured at the factory for 100, 115, or 230 VAC

power operation at 50Hz or 60Hz. Before operating, ensure that

the power label on the rear panel near the AC input connector

indicates the correct operating voltage. A detachable IEC power

cable intended for use in the region where the unit is sold is

included.

Connection to an AC voltage other than that for which the

unit 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 preamplifier or about the line voltage in

your area, contact your authorized Mark Levinson dealer before

plugging the unit into an AC power outlet.

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 dangerous voltage to build

up between components, which may result in

personal injuries and/or product damage.

You should unplug the audio player from the AC wall outlet during

lightning storms and extended periods of non-use.

CAUTION: BEFORE moving the unit, make sure it is powered off

by removing the power cord from the AC power outlet and the

unit’s rear panel.

ORIGINAL ANTENNA

The unit’s Wi-Fi antenna cannot be replaced with an alternate.

Use of any other antenna is not covered by warranty, may result

in degraded performance, and may violate regulations in your

country. If you damage or misplace the antenna, replace it with

Mark Levinson/HARMAN part number 480-18521.

A NOTE ABOUT WIFI AND BLUETOOTH

CONNECTIVITY

Installation factors can affect the range and performance of

the WiFi and Bluetooth radios. Make certain that the unit is

not blocked by metal cabinets or shelving and that it is within

the recommended range of the wireless router to which it is

connected. While it is not necessary for normal operation,

maximum range of up to 50ft (15m) for Bluetooth connections

can be achieved with line-of-sight connections to the BT receiver

antenna located on behind the front panel display window.

519 AUDIO PLAYER / OWNER’S MANUAL

INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS

OPERATING STATES

The player has three operating states:

• Off: The AC mains power is disconnected by using the rear-

panel Power switch or by removing the power cord from

the rear panel.

• Standby: The Standby mode has three settings that can

be selected via the menu system: Green, Power Save, and

Normal.

o Green: This mode removes power from almost all of

the circuits, allowing the unit to be activated only via

an 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.

o Power Save: This mode removes power from the

audio circuits, but keeps the control and streaming

circuitry powered and ready to receive commands.

This mode provides moderate power conservation.

o Normal: This mode shuts off the display and mutes its

audio outputs, but keeps all of its control, streaming,

and audio circuits powered. This mode provides the

least amount of power conservation but allows the

audio circuits to remain warmed up to deliver optimal

performance at all times.

• On: The entire unit is powered up and all configured outputs

are active.

The player has an Auto Off feature that automatically places 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 disable

the Auto Off feature in the menu.

UPDATES

Having the most up to date software on your № 519 is important

for the best reliability and function.

Once connected to the internet (See

Quick Setup and Listen

> Wi-Fi Setup

for steps on how to connect), your unit will

automatically search for new updates. If new updates are found,

the № 519 will notify you via a gear icon present at the top of the

screen. To install these updates, navigate to

Settings

>

• Placing the unit behind tinted glass will reduce the remote

control’s effective range

INITIAL CONNECTIONS

CAUTION: Before making connections, make sure the unit and

all associated components are powered off and disconnected

from electrical outlets.

1. Connect your amplifiers’ or preamplifier’s inputs to the

player’s output connectors. Mark Levinson recommends

using the Balanced output connectors if your amplifier(s) or

preamplifier have balanced input connectors. Otherwise, use

the Single-ended output connectors.

2. Connect digital source components’ outputs to the player’s

digital audio inputs and USB drive(s) to the rear-panel inputs.

If you are connecting a computer via USB, download and

install the USB Audio driver software from the product web

page at marklevinson.com, under the Downloads tab.

3. Connect the supplied Wi-Fi antenna to the unit’s rear panel.

4. If possible, connect the unit to your network via router or

other network connection using a Cat5 or higher cable. If

connected via Wired network, the antenna is optional.

Mark Levinson recommends using a wired network

connection for the best performance and stability. If you

do not have access to a wired network connection where

your unit is located, follow the Wi-Fi Setup steps below. The

unit will connect via wired OR wireless network method, so

if you have access to a wired network connection, there is

no need to follow the Wi-Fi Setup steps.

5. Connect the supplied power cable to the player’s AC Mains

connector and into an electrical outlet. Turn the rear-panel

Power switch on the unit to On, and turn on all associated

components.

6. When the system has completed starting up, and the display

is dark with Standby indicator slowly flashing, press the front-

panel Standby button or the Standby button on the remote

control.

7. Make sure the player’s or preamplifier’s volume is set to a

reasonable level. It is best to start low and turn up to avoid

unintentionally damaging your equipment.

8. Turn the Input knob or press the Input buttons on the remote

to select the input that corresponds to an input to which you

connected a source component, or insert a CD.

9. Download the Mark Levinson Audio Player app, available

from the Apple iOS App Store or Android Google Play.

Optional: if you would like to control your № 519 from your

computer type the player’s IP address into your web browser.

This is the number that appears in gray on the opening screen.

You can also find the player’s IP address from the Settings

Menu under Network.

A NOTE ABOUT DSD FILES

The № 519 will play back both DSD64 and DSD128 encoded files.

When playing music encoded in these formats, audio will only

be present at the analog (and headphone) outputs. Because of

the nature of DSD-encoded data, it cannot be transmitted via

standard digital interconnections like Toslink or coaxial.

If you are using your № 519 as a digital source connected to a

preamplifier’s DAC, you will need to also connect the № 519s

analog outputs to an input on the preamplifier to listen to your

DSD-encoded data.

•

Operation:

This menu controls the operation of the № 519

o

Power Management



Standby:

this setting lets you set the Standby

mode to one of the following options: Green,

Power Save, and Normal.

• Green: This mode removes power from

almost all of the circuits, allowing the №

519 to be activated only via an 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 audio circuits, but keeps the

control and streaming 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 display

and mutes its audio outputs, but keeps

all of its control, streaming, and audio

circuits powered. This mode provides

the least amount of power conservation

but allows the audio circuits to

remain warmed up to deliver optimal

performance at all times.



Auto Off:

this setting lets you engage or

disengage the Auto Off function, which puts

your № 519 into the Standby mode after 20

minutes of inactivity (no audio signal, and no

control input).

o

Remote Control



Trigger:

(Normal/Pulsed) This setting

configures how the 12V trigger relay data

is sent and received. Most components

require this to be set at “Normal,” but some

products (such as some older Mark Levinson

components) require that it be set to Pulsed.



Front IR:

this toggle allows you to turn the №

519’s front IR receiver on or off. If you have

connected the № 519’s rear-panel IR input to

an IR control device, set the Front IR receiver

to Off to avoid interference.

of your display to High, Medium, or Low. The

factory default setting is High.



•

Input Setup:

The Input Setup menu allows you to customize

the following parameters for the selected input.

o

Enabled:

use this setting to enable or disable the

input from displaying in the Input menu (when

turning the Input knob)

o

Name:

use this setting to rename an input to a

custom name of your preference. Note that the

Bluetooth, Network, and streaming services

cannot be renamed.

o

Offset:

the output level of audio devices can vary

between brands and models, making some devices

sound louder or quieter than others. The Offset

adjustment allows you to precisely compensate

for that variance, allowing all associated devices

in your system to output at a similar volume level.

The setting offers a range of –10dB to +10dB, in

0.5dB steps. Whenever an input is selected, the №

519 applies the setting of the Offset parameter to

the volume level of the outputs.

o

DAC Filter (PCM):

this setting lets you set the filter

characteristic:



Sharp:

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



MinPhas:

this is a minimum-phase filter

that may be better suited when listening to

acoustic music

 Although the above descriptions are offered

as a guide, feel free to set the DAC filter

according to your own tastes

o

Clari-Fi:

setting this option to ON activates

HARMAN Clari-Fi® music restoration technology

circuitry for the selected input. Clari-Fi analyzes

compressed digital audio files during playback

and reconstructs what was lost in the compression

process.



Clari-Fi Intensity:

The Intensity control

adjusts the amount of reconstruction applied

to the signal, and can be applied according to

your individual taste – there is no “correct”

amount.

o

DSD Filter (USB and Network inputs only):

The

DSD Filter is a low-pass filter that can be set to

47kHz, 50kHz, 60kHz, or 70kHz to reduce unwanted

ultrasonic noise. There is no “correct” setting for

the DSD filter: it can be set according to personal

preference or to suit the type of music to which you

are listening.
