IMPORTANT:
Please refer to the printed Safety Information booklet for important safety information
and the online manual available at www.linn.co.uk/majikdsi for full instructions on
using your Linn Majik DS-I player.

Unpacking

• Remove product from packaging and place on a flat surface
• Please retain all packaging for future transport of Majik DS-I

Contents

• 1 x Majik DS-I player
• 1 x mains lead
• 1 x luminous infra-red (IR) handset (with 2 x AAA batteries)
• 1 x Safety Information booklet

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 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
• Do not block vents or site the unit in a cabinet which prevents air flowing from front
to back
• Allow at least 4" (10 cm) all the way around the unit for air circulation

Connecting

1. Connect each left and right channel on the Majik DS-I to the equivalent terminal on
your loudspeaker using your preferred connection method (spade / banana plug / bare
wire) and ensuring a good tight connection is made in each case
2. Connect the Majik DS-I Ethernet socket to your network using a standard Ethernet
cable
3. Connect any additional source components to the back panel using your preferred
connection method (phono or balanced) - use socket 4/PH for any turntable you wish
to connect (and do not connect line level source components to this socket)
• Your Majik DS-I is configured as an MM (Moving Magnet) phono stage as default -
please contact your Linn Specialist if you wish to change this to MC (Moving Coil) or
convert socket 4/PH to line level
4. Connect your mains cable but do not power on the unit yet
5. If you have a NAS or ripping NAS then you should also ensure this is connected to
your network and powered on ( see www.linn.co.uk/nas for more info)
