SET-UP

KARIK OUTPUT CONNECTIONS The KARIK has two stereo AUDIO OUTPUTS provided for connection to your preamplifier and direct connection to another system such as a multi-room application.

The KARIK also has two high quality S/P-DIF digital audio outputs. The ELECTRICAL OUTPUT is connected to the NUMERIK via the 75 Ohm BNC - BNC lead provided, or to other external audio processors with phono inputs by the use of a BNC - Phono adaptor.

The DIAGNOSTIC OUTPUT CONNECTOR is used by your dealer to carry out diagnostic checks on your KARIK to guarantee quality. He will be able to check for tracking errors, error rates and most importantly, laser performance. This is an extremely efficient method of service back-up, assuring you of our continued product support.

KARIK INPUT CONNECTIONS The KARIK’s SYNC INPUT connection is made from the NUMERIK by means of a high quality audio phono - phono lead. With this lead in place the NUMERIK adopts ‘master’ mode operation and superior audio performance is achieved. When this lead is not in place the NUMERIK will adopt ‘slave’ mode and will operate in a conventional manner.

SLEEP MODE If the DISPLAY switch on the back panel is in, and power is applied, the KARIK will enter a ‘sleep’ mode. Twenty seconds after the last operation the display will turn off (show two dashes). Actuation of the door, front panel controls or remote control will waken the display. This feature, shared by the Linn Kairn pre-amplifier and Kremlin tuner, saves power and draws less attention to the products, if required.

When the display switch is out, and power is re-applied, the display will remain lit continuously.
