The Linn AV System

To get the most out of a film you have to do more than simply watch it: you have to experience it fully, exactly as its creators intended.That means images and sound must be married together perfectly, giving you the same emotional impact you would receive in the cinema itself. Without sound of the very highest quality, every film lacks an essential dimension – and so does your pleasure in viewing it.

In designing your Linn AV system, we have set out to create the ultimate experience of cinema and music in the home and every component has been carefully designed to give you exactly that. No-one knows more than Linn about designing music systems for the home and we have used that unique experience and know how to create an AV system which gives you the same accuracy and purity of sound, even when you are listening to special effects in an action movie.

AV 5103 System Controller

The heart of the system is the AV 5103 System Controller. This controls your audio and video sources, to let you choose what you want to watch or listen to. It can control analogue signals, from a tape recorder or FM tuner, for example; digital signals, from a CD player or a LaserDisc player, and video sources, from a TV tuner, video recorder and LaserDisc player. It also decodes surround encoded materials, including AC-3, to give you a complete surround sound experience.With its informative two-line text display, and the option of on-screen graphics, the AV 5103 System Controller is both powerful and simple to use. Most operations involve just one key-press on the front panel or handset.

Despite the simplicity of its front panel, however, almost every aspect of the System Controller can be configured in exactly the way you want. You can define and control everything: the inputs you use for each of your sources, the name of those sources, the surround-sound decoding options and loudspeaker settings. The System Controller also provides a sophisticated range of audio and video recording options, allowing you to record several sources simultaneously without affecting what you are watching or hearing.
