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.
