Using the AKURATE KONTROL with a Linn AKURATE CD player

If an AKURATE CD is being used as a two-channel (stereo) source, simply connect the AKURATE CD’s FRONT A or B analogue line outputs to the AKURATE KONTROL’s 1/FRONT ANALOGUE AUDIO INPUTS (the AKURATE KONTROL is factory configured for an AKURATE CD to be connected to this input).

If an AKURATE CD is being used as a multi-channel source there are advantages in operation when using the AKURATE KONTROL:

•The AKURATE KONTROL will choose an appropriate surround sound format for a disc’s audio stream.

•When playing a CD you will be able to select the Dolby Pro Logic II surround sound format.

If you wish to use your AKURATE KONTROL with an AKURATE CD player in multi-channel configuration, follow the instructions below.

1.Switch off all equipment.

2.Connect the AKURATE CD’s FRONT A or B, SURR, CENTRE and SUB line output connectors to the 5.1 GROUP input on the AKURATE KONTROL (requires 6 RCA phono-to-phono leads)

3.Connect the RS232 product-to-product lead (supplied with the AKURATE KONTROL) from the AKURATE KONTROL’s RS232 OUT to the AKURATE CD’s RS232 IN.

4.Connect the AKURATE KONTROL’s REMOTE OUT to the AKURATE CD’s REMOTE IN (requires an RCA phono-to-phono lead).

5.Switch on all equipment.
