'''<sup>1</sup>''' Input 3 is a configurable input, which is factory set as a moving coil phono input for connection to turntables. This can be changed by a Linn dealer to a moving magnet phono input or a line-level input.<br>
'''<sup>2</sup>''' Analogue inputs (including front panel AUX IN) can pass through an analogue signal to the analogue out with no digitisation taking place when Digital Features / Digitise is set to Off on these inputs.<br>
'''<sup>3</sup>''' This input can be adjusted for different Phono stages or Line level by reconfiguring a circuit board within the Linn DS.
