Information, hints and tips on operating a DS player in typical Linn systems.
+
This document provides guidance for setting up the most common Linn systems. Many other system configurations using Linn and 3rd party products are also possible.
 +
 
 +
== System Setup ==
 +
 
 +
The '''Konfig''' application allows you to select a Linn preamp and a <span style="color:#ff0000">Linn disc player*</span> to be connected to a DS product. Make sure you have the most up to date software installed on all your Linn equipment (DS, Preamp, Disc Player and Konfig ) and follow the appropriate system instructions to help you to setup your custom system.
 +
 
 +
<span style="color:#ff0000">'''* Please note: as of device software version 4.50.x, DS and DSM devices no longer support RS232 control of disc players'''</span>

== Klimax DS &amp; Klimax Kontrol (&amp; CD12) ==
  
Prior to the Bute release, the Klimax DS would pass handset IR commands to the Klimax Kontrol. As this functionality is not available in Bute, Product IR must be enabled on the Klimax Kontrol and the unit must be visible to handset commands.

 +
* Ensure '''RS232 Connection''' is set to '''Enabled'''<br>
 +
 
 +
===== CD12 Setup =====
 +
 
 +
* Only responds to CD handset commands
 +
* Klimax DS should be set to respond to '''DVD commands only''' from Konfig (Advanced Configure tab)<br>
 +
 
 +
===== Connection Setup =====
 +
 
 +
* From Konfig, set '''Linn Preamp Connected''' to '''Klimax Kontrol''', and set '''Linn Preamp Connected on Com Port''' to the Port number on the DS you have connected to the Rs232 IN port of the Klimax Kontrol<br>
 +
* From Konfig, set '''Linn Disc Player Connected''' to'''CD12''', and set '''Linn Disc Player Connected on Com Port''' to the Port number on the DS you have connected to the Rs232 IN port of the CD12<br>
 +
* Reboot the Klimax DS once you have completed the connection setup<br>
 +
 
 +
===== Source Setup =====
 +
 
 +
* Select the Klimax Kontrol from Konfig and select '''Source Setup'''.
 +
* Select the Source (Input) you have connected the Klimax DS on and select the Klimax DS from the drop down box for '''Source Name'''.
 +
* Repeat the above point for the CD12
 +
* At this point, full system control will be available from Kazoo
 +
(Also documented in [http://docs.linn.co.uk/wiki/index.php/Konfig_Manual#Proxy_RS232_control Konfig Manual])
 +
 
 +
=== Additional Info ===
 +
 
 +
* Early versions of the Klimax DS would pass handset IR commands to the Klimax Kontrol via the RS232 connections.. This functionality has been removed to make a simpler and easier operation..
 +
* With release version 1.2-0.6 of the Klimax DS, the RS232 Ports on the back of the Klimax DS are now matched correctly to the setup in Konfig. If you have upgraded to this version or later but already had your system wired, you will need to swap the RS232 connections.
 +
* Requires Klimax Kontrol software version S01020117 and CD12 software version S0450206<br>

Requires Akurate Kontrol software version S03110103 and Akurate CD Software version S01150222. The setup below allows for simultaneous full system control from Kazoo and automatic stream selection from Akurate CD. The Unidisk 1.1/2.1 can be use in place of the Akurate CD and requires software version S01150218<br>
 +
 
 +
===== Akurate Kontrol Setup<br> =====
 +
 
 +
[[Image:Akurate ds system.png|right|230px|Wiring Diagram - click to enlarge]]
  
RS232 connection between an Akurate CD and an Akurate DS is not currently supported if the Akurate CD is being used in multi-channel configuration. Therefore, if adding an Akurate DS to a multi-channel Akurate CD and Akurate Kontrol system, do not make an RS232 link between the Akurate DS and the Akurate CD, or the Akurate DS and Akurate Kontrol. Instead, connect the Akurate DS to the Akurate Kontrol as an analogue source and add it as a new source. Use the Linn GUI or other device for controlling the Akurate DS, and a Linn handset for the rest of the system.

===== Source Setup =====
  
The DS-Unidisk-Kisto system delivers the best of surround sound playback, AV disk players, and high-definition network sources in a single system. The Akurate DS provides access to high-definition networked audio, and brings IP-network control to the high-performance surround sound AV pre-amp, and Unidisk universal disk player.<br>
+
* Select the Majik Kontrol from Konfig and select '''Source Setup'''.
 +
* Select the Source (Input) you have connected the Majik DS on and select the Majik DS from the drop down box for '''Source Name'''.
 +
* Do the same for the Majik CD<br>
 +
* At this point, full system control will be available from Kazoo<br>
  
 
<br>
 
<br>
  
The latest Bute software (Linn Config 1.3-0.5 or later, Akurate DS 1.1-0.8 or later)&nbsp; now allows both the ''automatic stream-type selection'' feature of the Unidisk-Kisto system and the additional ''full system control'' from the LinnGUI. The automatic stream-type functionality automatically switches the selected source on the pre-amp based on the type of disk inserted in the disk player. i.e. Inserting a CD the system automatically selects the stereo inputs on the pre-amp, and inserting an SACD automatically selects the surround inputs on the pre-amp.<br>

This document provides guidance for setting up the most common Linn systems. Many other system configurations using Linn and 3rd party products are also possible.

System Setup

The Konfig application allows you to select a Linn preamp and a Linn disc player* to be connected to a DS product. Make sure you have the most up to date software installed on all your Linn equipment (DS, Preamp, Disc Player and Konfig ) and follow the appropriate system instructions to help you to setup your custom system.

* Please note: as of device software version 4.50.x, DS and DSM devices no longer support RS232 control of disc players

Akurate DS, Unidisk & Kisto system

Kisto System

 The DS-Unidisk-Kisto system delivers the best of surround sound playback, AV disk players, and high-definition network sources in a single system. The Akurate DS provides access to high-definition networked audio, and brings IP-network control to the high-performance surround sound AV preamp, and Unidisk universal disk player.

The latest software releases (Konfig 1.3-0.5 or later, Akurate DS 1.1-0.8 or later, Kisto SP034V7, and Unidisk 1.1/2.1 S01150218)  allow both the automatic stream-type selection feature of the Unidisk-Kisto system and the additional full system control from the Linn GUI. The automatic stream-type functionality automatically switches the selected source on the preamp based on the type of disk inserted in the disk player. i.e. Inserting a CD the system automatically selects the stereo inputs on the preamp, and inserting an SACD automatically selects the surround inputs on the preamp.

Handset Control with a DS and a Linn Disc Player

By default Linn DS players will respond to commands from the Linn IR remote control when the handset is in CD Mode and also when it is in DVD mode. If you have a Linn DS in a system with both a non-Linn pre-amp and a Linn CD/DVD player, you will need to change this behaviour.

If you are using a DS with a Linn CD player

  • On your DS, set the IR Handset setting to respond to DVD Only - This setting can be configured from the "Advanced Configuration" tab in Konfig.
  • On your Linn CD player, set the IR behaviour to ignore DVD commands - This setting can be configured on the device by refering to the product manual for your model of Linn CD player.

If you are using a DS with a Linn DVD player

  • On your DS, set the IR Handset setting to respond to CD Only - This setting can be configured from the "Advanced Configuration" tab in Konfig.
