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)
