Introduction

The Linn KIVOR INDEX is a simple, high performance music library that can archive
and playback up to 2500 hours of full bandwidth, CD quality audio. The KIVOR INDEX
is capable of supplying eight sources of high quality, pitch accurate audio to any
multi-room audio distribution system.
The KIVOR INDEX hardware is managed by REKURSIV, Linn's proprietary music
management software that provides safe and robust storage and ensures the integrity
of all media in both domestic and marine environments. The KIVOR INDEX is supplied
with a single license copy of the LINNTEK PC setup and control utility that allows the
user to manage archived audio and create and administer individual play lists.
The KIVOR INDEX has been designed to eliminate many of the quality problems
associated with multi-CD changer products and hard disc storage systems, and
represents a high-quality and versatile solution for the storage and playback of audio
within a multi-room system.
Important notes: disc formats and types
Only audio CDs, CD-Rs and CD-RWs can be archived on to the KIVOR INDEX. DVDs,
SACDs, Video CDs etc, are not compatible with this unit.
D D o o n n o o t t insert 8cm/3" discs or irregularly shaped discs (heart-shaped, business card
size etc) into the KIVOR INDEX as they may damage the unit.
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 KIVOR INDEX 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, w w e e a a r r e e u u n n a a b b l l e e t t o o a a c c c c e e p p t t a a n n y y r r e e s s p p o o n n s s i i b b i i l l i i t t y y f f o o r r t t h h e e K K I I V V O O R R I I N N D D E E X X b b e e i i n n g g
u u n n a a b b l l e e t t o o a a r r c c h h i i v v e e o o r r p p l l a a y y b b a a c c k k a a n n y y p p a a r r t t i i c c u u l l a a r r d d i i s s c c . If you have discs that do not
archive/playback on the KIVOR INDEX, which are subsequently found to
archive/playback on other brands or types of hard disc recorders, then this does not
imply that the KIVOR INDEX is in any way at fault. There are many websites that
display details of discs that have known playback problems and we suggest that you
consult with this published data before you make any judgments regarding the
archiving/playback abilities of the KIVOR INDEX. We welcome the receipt of all
suspect discs as this may assist us in ensuring that the KIVOR INDEX continues to
develop, but we cannot accept discs from end users on the basis that we have made
any warranty about being able to learn how to archive or play them back.

The user interface

The operating controls for your KIVOR INDEX and the contents of its database can be
displayed on a PC or a third-party touch-screen device. The appearance and operation
of the interface on touch-screen devices can be customized by the installer of your
KIVOR INDEX, to suit your requirements. The operating instructions and the user
interface illustrations shown in this manual relate to the PC version of the interface –
the LINNTEK Control Utility (included on the CD ROM) and therefore may not mimic
those installed on a touch-screen device.
