Introduction; Audio Outputs; Disc Types - Linn AKURATE CD Player Owner's Manual

Introduction

Over thirty years ago Linn was born out of a simple truth: the more
accurately a system reproduces sound, the greater the impact it will
have on the listener.
Linn's AKURATE CD is an advanced multi-format disc player that
plays CDs, DTS Audio CDs, and high resolution SACD and DVD-Audio
formats to an exceptional standard. The AKURATE CD delivers
class-leading performance whichever format you play.
The AKURATE CD is the perfect partner for Linn's AKURATE
KONTROL pre-amplifier and AKURATE power amplifier range.
Add the AKURATE TUNER and AKURATE loudspeakers for a
complete AKURATE System and experience the exceptional sound
quality delivered by this dedicated music system.

Audio outputs

The AKURATE CD has analogue and digital outputs available for use
with CD and DTS Audio CDs. Audio signals from SACDs and DVD-
Audios are output as analogue only; there is no output for these disc
types from the digital connectors. By default, the AKURATE CD is
configured for two channel (stereo) output. However, configure the
AKURATE CD as multi-channel and it will output six channels of
analogue audio from SACD, DVD-Audios and DTS Audio CDs. Please
see Channel Setup in User Options (page 17) for further information.

AKURATE CD:
In addition, the AKURATE CD will play most copy-protected audio
discs.
Important:
Whilst every effort has been made to ensure universal compatibility
with all approved disc types, it is impossible to guarantee full
operation of every function of the Linn AKURATE CD with every disc
that is on sale now or in the future.
We have tested many of the disc types that are currently available but
many discs that are on sale at this time do not conform to the
published and accepted formal specifications. For this reason, we are
unable to accept any responsibility for the player being unable to play
any particular disc. If you have discs that do not play on the Linn
AKURATE CD, which are subsequently found to play on other brands
of player, then this does not imply that the Linn AKURATE CD is in any
way at fault.
We welcome the receipt of all suspect discs as this may assist us in
ensuring that the Linn AKURATE CD continues to develop but cannot
accept discs from end users on the basis that we have made any
warranty about being able to learn how to play them.
Novelty discs
Do not play irregularly shaped discs (heart-shaped, business card
size, etc.) in the AKURATE CD as they may damage the player.
