Contents
• 1 x Akurate DSM player
• 1 x mains lead

Positioning
• Place unit on a flat, stable and rigid surface
• Place unit within range of your network router or switch
IMPORTANT:
Linn recommend the use of separate dedicated network components, including
router, switch and wireless access point (if required for wireless control). Alterna-
tively, a dedicated integrated router/switch/wireless device is preferable to simply
connecting the unit directly to your home broadband router. Linn do not recom-
mend a wireless connection between Linn DS player and network. See
www.linn.co.uk/networks for more info
• Avoid positioning the unit in direct sunlight as this can interfere with the infra-red
(IR) sensor on the front panel
• Do not stack components and avoid placing near other heat sources
• Allow space all the way around the unit for air circulation
Connecting
1. Before making any connections, switch off any power
amplifier(s) or mains-powered speakers in your system
2. Connect the Akurate DSM to your power-amplifier using
the left and right Analogue Out (cables supplied) or Balanced
Out sockets
3. Connect the Akurate DSM Ethernet socket to your network
using a standard Ethernet cable
4. If you have any external sources you wish to connect to
your Akurate DSM, such as a Blu-ray or DVD player or
satellite TV, connect these to the appropriate analogue,
HDMI, SPDIF or TOSLINK IN socket.
• If connecting HDMI video sources to your Akurate DSM,
you must also connect an HDMI cable from HDMI OUT
back to your display device to ensure video is displayed
(audio will also be automatically passed through to your
display source if the Akurate DSM is in Sleep mode)
5. Connect your mains cable but do not power on the unit yet
6. If you have a NAS, ensure this is connected to your network and powered on
• A NAS (Network Attached Storage) is a device used to store and manage large collec-
tions of ripped music (and other media) - see www.linn.co.uk/nas for more info
