Installation

This chapter explains how to install the AKURATE CD player and how
to connect it to a pre-amplifier or system controller.

Important:

It is strongly recommended that your AKURATE CD is installed and
configured by an authorised Linn retailer.

Unpacking

The AKURATE CD is supplied with the following accessories:

• luminous handset

• 2 x AAA batteries for the handset

• 1 pair of black interconnect cables

• mains lead

• warranty pack

• this manual

We recommend that you retain all packaging in case you need to

transport the AKURATE CD at a later date.

Positioning

You can position your AKURATE CD almost anywhere you find
convenient (including in a 19” rack, for which a mounting kit is
available – consult your retailer), but please consider the following
points:

• The unit should be placed on a flat, stable and rigid surface.

• Do not position the unit where sunlight can shine (whether 

directly, diffused or reflected) on its display as the infra-red (IR) 
radiation in sunlight will be picked up by the unit’s IR remote 
sensor and this can adversely affect its operation. Similarly, 
some electrical devices such as plasma TVs, fluorescent lights 
and energy saving lamps can emit IR which can likewise affect 
the operation.

• For best performance, do not stack the unit with other products.

Ideally, position the unit on a shelf by itself or, if proximity to 
other products is unavoidable, positioning side-by-side is 
preferable to stacking.

• The unit should not be situated above, or otherwise directly 

adjacent to, sources of heat such as radiators, power amplifiers 
etc. Nor should it be enclosed in a cabinet with such devices.

• Allow at least 4" (10 cm) free space above and at each side of 

the unit.

• Do not block the vents on the product’s casing.

Note:
Do not open the AKURATE CD’s disc drawer if the unit is behind glass
doors as this can damage the drawer’s mechanism.

Cleaning

Disconnect the AKURATE CD from the power supply before cleaning.
Remove dust and fingerprints with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using
domestic cleaning products on the unit.
