    • Additional information

    These instructions help you get the best possible performance from your NP5 Prisma MK2.

    Your NP5 Prisma MK2 can be linked to another Primare product using the RS232 Link function to add Prisma capabilities to it. It will allow you to control the input, volume, and standby on the linked device using the Prisma app.

    The procedure is as follows:

    • Connect the RS232 cable provided with your NP5 Prisma MK2 to your NP5 Prisma MK2 and other Primare product.
    • Open the Prisma app, choose the Settings tab, and go to General settings.
    • Select RS232 link.
    • Press select device button to select the device you want to link NP5 Prisma MK2 with.
    • For best user experience, make sure that the Linked default volume and Linked maximum volume match your linked product.
    • Set the Auto-On and Auto-Off settings as required. We recommend enabling both settings.
    • When you have selected the appropriate settings press the Connect button.

      The Link status should now change to Connected and you can use the Prisma app to control the volume, step between inputs, and switch between on and standby.
