Linn AKURATE CD Player CD Player User Manual


 
Playing DVD-Audios
DVD-Audio discs can contain both stereo (two-channel) and surround
sound (multi-channel) formats. The AKURATE CD will automatically
begin playback when a DVD-Audio is loaded. The basic controls (play,
stop, skip track, etc.) can be used as normal to control playback.
When a DVD-Audio is inserted into the AKURATE CD, the unit will play
the multi-channel format by default. If there is no multi-channel format
available, it will play the stereo format. If the unit is set to ‘2 Channel’
(see Channel Setup in User Options (page 17)), the multi-channel
audio format will be downmixed to stereo.
DVD-Audio discs normally require a display device (e.g. television) in
order to navigate menus. DVD-Audio menus are not accessible on the
AKURATE CD as there is no connection to a display device.
Playing SACDs
SACDs can contain up to three separate areas, each of which features
a different audio format. The three formats are, in order of audio
quality from highest to lowest, SACD Multi (5.1 channels of high
quality audio), SACD Stereo (2 channels of high quality audio) and CD
Stereo (2 channels of standard CD audio).
When an SACD is inserted into the AKURATE CD, the unit will default
to the format that was selected the last time an SACD was played. If
that area is not present on the current disc, the unit will select the
next best format available. If the unit is set to ‘2 Channel’ (see
Channel Setup in User Options (page 17)), the multi-channel audio
format will be downmixed to stereo.
You are able to select which audio format you wish to listen to from
those available.
The disc must be stopped in order to change format.
