UNIDISK SC PLAYER

Owner’s Manual

English

Introduction

that the Linn UNIDISK SC is in any way at fault. There are many web sites that display

details of discs that have known playback problems and we suggest that you consult

with this published data before you make any judgments regarding the Linn

UNIDISK SC’s playback abilities. We welcome the receipt of all suspect discs as this may

assist us in ensuring that the Linn UNIDISK SC continues to develop but cannot accept

discs from end users on the basis that we have made any warranty about being able to

learn how to play them.

Introduction

The UNIDISK SC player is a precision-engineered, high-fidelity audio and video source

component with integrated surround-sound processing and control, designed to facilitate

access to all of the latest high-definition, high-quality music and movie formats and

deliver superb multi-channel playback.

The UNIDISK SC player features Linn’s proprietary SILVER DISK ENGINE technology

which, unlike the signal processing systems within the majority of multi-format players,

identifies source material and processes signals in their native format. CD, Super Audio

CD, DVD-Video and DVD-Audio are therefore handled independently and optimised with

the precise decoding solution for which they were designed, making the UNIDISK SC

player the only no-compromise universal source and control component.

Novelty discs

Do not play irregularly shaped discs (heart-shaped, business card size, etc) in the

UNIDISK SC as they may damage the player.

Audio outputs

The audio outputs for compatible disc types are as follows:

We believe that the development of a high-performance universal solution for all quality

disc formats allows us to satisfy your increasingly diverse needs. Regardless of which

formats the recording and film industries choose to support, you may rest assured that

the UNIDISK range will remain the benchmark for versatility, performance and quality

for many years to come.

Cleaning

In addition, the UNIDISK SC will play most copy-protected audio discs and data discs

containing MP3, MPEG-2 and JPEG files.

Disconnect the UNIDISK SC from the power supply before cleaning. Remove dust and

fingerprints with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using domestic cleaning products on the unit.

Important note

Whilst every effort has been made to ensure universal compatibility with all approved

disc types, it is impossible to guarantee full operation of every function of the Linn

UNIDISK SC player with every disc that is on sale now or in the future. We have tested

many of the disc types that are currently available but many discs that are on sale at

this time do not conform to the published and accepted formal specifications. For this

reason, we are unable to accept any responsibility for the player being unable to

playback any particular disc. If you have discs that do not play on the Linn UNIDISK SC,

which are subsequently found to play on other brands of player, then this does not imply

Positioning

This chapter explains how to install the UNIDISK SC player into your hi-fi/AV system.

You can position your UNIDISK SC almost anywhere you find convenient, but please

consider the following points:

Note:

●

In this manual, ‘display device’ refers to plasma screens, projectors, projection TVs,

monitors, LCD TVs and televisions.

Allow at least 10cm of space to the sides, rear and above the UNIDISK SC for air

circulation.

●

You should have no problems operating the UNIDISK SC with the handset

Unpacking

wherever it is placed in a room, provided you keep your UNIDISK SC out of direct

sunlight.

The UNIDISK SC is supplied with the following accessories:

●

luminescent handset with booklet

Note regarding Plasma and LCD screens

Plasma and large LCD screens emit infra-red (IR) frequencies that can interfere with the

IR remote operation of the UNIDISK SC if the emitted IR hits the product’s display. Take

care not to place the UNIDISK SC in a position where it faces the Plasma / LCD screen

or otherwise allows the emitted IR to shine directly on to it. A position below or directly

adjacent to the screen will normally avoid such interference.

●

2 x RO3 (AAA) batteries for the handset

●

mains lead

●

1 pair of black interconnect cables

●

this manual

Important:

Do not open the UNIDISK SC’s disc drawer if the unit is behind glass doors as this can

damage the drawer’s mechanism.

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

UNIDISK SC at a later date.

Voltage selection

The UNIDISK SC contains an automatic internal mains voltage switch. This switch

operates on all worldwide mains voltages from 100V to 240V. Manual adjustment on the

product for setting the input mains voltage is not possible.

This unit must be earthed. Use the earthed mains lead supplied. Never use an

unearthed plug or adaptor.

The UNIDISK SC is able to account for the video delay

inherent in the processing required for progressive video

signals, thus ensuring that both video and audio signals

are output simultaneously. Set this option to suit the

main display device in your AV system.

Choose the option that matches your display device;

either 4:3, Letterbox or 16:9.

IMPORTANT NOTES - HDMI

If you wish to use the UNIDISK SC’s HDMI output, your display device must be HDMI or

DVI/HDCP compatible. No picture will be available on a display device that has a DVI

input but is not HDMI or DVI/HDCP compatible.

Video Standard

If you have already selected the video signal standard

for your TV using the DISP (display) key on the handset

(see Video Output section at the start of this chapter),

skip this item.

If the HDMI setting is selected, the UNIDISK SC’s digital audio outputs (SPDIF and

TOSLINK) will provide stereo only – i.e. digital surround sound will be unavailable on

these outputs. Analogue outputs are unaffected.

To restore digital surround sound to these outputs, access HDMI Setup (see page 12) and

set HDMI Audio to Off.

Default setting: Native

Choose the option that matches the video signal

standard accepted by your display device. Set to Native

if your display device accepts both NTSC and PAL standards.

Interlaced Out (this item is not availalble

on the Phono version)

Default setting: RGB

Notes:

If Video Standard is set to Native you may notice the screen flicker when a DVD-Video

begins to play. This happens when the UNIDISK SC switches from one video signal

standard to the other.

Select the video output signal accepted by your display

device. If your display device accepts both RGB and

YPrPb signals, set to YPrPb as it usually provides better

picture quality.

If your display device only accepts one type of standard and a PAL to NTSC, or NTSC to

PAL conversion is applied, you may notice degradation in the picture quality when

viewing DVD-Videos or DVD-Audios that have been recorded in the other standard.

HDMI Setup

Progressive Scan Setup

Note – this menu will only take effect when HDMI has been selected as the Primary

Display Device in the General Setup Menu (see page 9).

The two items below refer to the UNIDISK SC’s component outputs (i.e. the TV SCART

output on the SCART version, the YPrPb outputs on the Phono version), whether they

are outputting an interlaced or progressive signal.

HDMI Audio

Default setting: On

Dither

Default setting: Off

If you are using the display device’s inbuilt

loudspeakers for audio playback, set to On.

On display devices with limited colour depth (e.g. LCD

panels) bands of colour shade may be seen, rather than

smooth transitions in colour shade.

This setting will output a stereo digital signal (SPDIF)

to the display device via the HDMI connector. If the

source material is multi-channel, a stereo down-mix

will be provided at the HDMI and SPDIF outputs.

Setting to On, reduces such colour banding.

Video Detection

Default setting: Auto

IMPORTANT – when set to On, the UNIDISK SC’s

digital audio outputs (SPDIF, TOSLINK and HDMI

itself) will provide stereo only – i.e. digital surround

sound will be unavailable on these outputs. Analogue

outputs are unaffected.

The setting for this option is dependent on the method

that was used to record the original video source

material.

If you are using the UNIDISK SC’s digital outputs to provide surround sound to other

devices, set to Off.

If the source material was recorded on film (e.g. most

movies), set to Progressive.

If the source material was recorded on video tape (e.g.

most television programmes), set to Interlaced.

If you want the UNIDISK SC to determine the setting

based on the information contained on the disc being

played, set to Auto.

Colour Format

Default setting: RGB

Select the option that best suits your display device –

i.e. the one that provides the best picture quality.

Different display devices process the colour format

signal in different ways so what is best for one device

may not be best for another. Either consult your

display device’s user manual or alternatively try each

of the available options and select the best one.

Note – some options may not be available, depending

on the data that is retrieved from the display device’s

EDID (see below).

Note:

You may sometimes find that when set to Auto the screen image flickers. In this case

choose whichever of the other two settings provides the better picture.

by the display device. Data supplied by the display

device allows the UNIDISK SC to automatically output

the best resolution that the device supports.

It has however been known for some display devices

to provide erroneous data or no data and this can

cause picture problems. In such cases this option

should be set to Disabled.

●

Set to Off if the auxiliary source is audio only

or if the auxiliary source carries a video signal

that you do not want to pass through the

UNIDISK SC.

If set to Disabled, the resolution will be determined

by the Video Standard that is selected in the General

Setup menu.

●

Set to Internal if you want the UNIDISK SC to

output its internal video signal (the Linn name

screen) when this auxiliary source is selected.

●

Set to Pass-through if you want to route the auxiliary source’s video signal

through the UNIDISK SC (for Pass-through to work, input and output connectors

must match).

Example:

If you have a set-top box’s S-video output connected to the UNIDISK SC’s S-VIDEO IN,

and the set-top box’s digital optical output connected to the UNIDISK SC’s DIG 3 input,

you would want to set DIG 3 Video to Pass-through.

SPDIF Out (Digital outputs only)

Default setting: Off

This option allows you to add compression to the Dolby

Digital audio signal on DVD-Videos. Adding compression

reduces sudden increases in volume, such as the sound

of an explosion.

If you are not using the UNIDISK SC’s digital audio

outputs, set to Off.

If any of the UNIDISK SC’s digital outputs are connected

Dolby PL (Pro Logic) (Analogue outputs only)

Default setting: Auto

LPCM Out (Digital outputs only)

Default setting: LPCM 96K

Dolby Pro Logic decoding is used by the UNIDISK SC to

convert stereo signals to more than two channels in

order to enhance the audio signal. Select the setting

you wish to use with your source material.

If any of the UNIDISK SC’s digital outputs are connected

to a Linn system controller, or any other processor

which accepts a sampling rate of 96 kHz, set to

LPCM 96K.

If the external processor does not accept a sampling

rate of 96 kHz, set to LPCM 48K.

For DVD-Videos

Off – Stereo tracks on a disc will play as stereo.

On – Stereo tracks on a disc can be played as stereo or decoded to up to five channels

(depending on the number of speakers in your system and the audio mode selected – see

Surround Sound and Audio Modes chapter).

Notes:

Even when set to LPCM 96K some discs will only output at the lower rate of 48 kHz.

DVD-Video discs with CSS copy protection and have been recorded at a sample rate of

96 kHz will always output audio through the digital outputs at 48 kHz. DVD-Video discs

without CSS copy protection will output at up to 96 kHz.

Auto – The unit will read the code embedded on the disc and will automatically switch

Pro Logic on or off.

Audio signals from Super Audio CDs and DVD-Audio discs are output as analogue only.

There is no output for these disc types from the digital connectors.

For other stereo sources (CDs and auxiliary digital or analogue stereo sources)

Off – Stereo sources will always be output as stereo.

On or Auto – Stereo sources can be played as stereo or decoded to up to five channels

(if permitted by the audio stream and dependent on the number of speakers in your

system and the audio mode selected – see Surround Sound and Audio Modes chapter).

Default setting: Movie

If you have selected Music in the Dolby PL II Mode menu, then you are able to enter the

Pro Logic II Cntl menus. Highlighting Dolby PL II Cntl and pressing ‘enter’ reveals the

first Dolby PL II Cntl screen.

This menu is suitable for use if your UNIDISK SC is

connected to front, plus centre and/or surround

speakers.

Dimension

Default setting: 0

Dolby Pro Logic II creates five output channels from

any internal or auxiliary two-channel source, such as

an audio CD, stereo tuner signal or set-top box audio

signal. This is achieved using an advanced, surround

decoder that extracts the spatial qualities of the

original recording/signal without adding any new

sounds. The UNIDISK SC offers four modes of Pro

Logic II operation.

The Dimension control allows you to shift the balance

between the front and surround speakers. Positive

values move the sound towards the front, negative

values towards the surrounds. If a recording is too

spacious or strong from the surround speakers it can be

shifted “forward” to get a better balance. A stereo

recording can be shifted “backward” to make the sound

more enveloping.

Dolby PL

This mode recreates the surround processing offered by original Dolby Pro Logic. The

Dolby PL setting is suitable if the source material is not of the best quality (for

example, a worn VCR tape).

Panorama

Default setting: Off

If set to On the Panorama control extends the audio

signal from the front left and right speakers, to include

the surround left and right speakers. This will add a

“wraparound” effect to the sound.

Music

As its name suggests, this mode is recommended when listening to music. If you

select Music mode you can adjust certain Dolby Pro Logic II parameters in the Dolby

PL II Cntl menu (see opposite).

Movie

Centre Width

This mode is recommended for when watching DVD-Videos.

Default setting: 0

Matrix

This control allows adjustment of the audio signal

between the centre speaker and front left and right

speakers.

Matrix mode can be used to enhance mono signals (e.g. AM radio broadcasts) by

making them seem “larger”.

If set to 0, all of the audio signal for the centre channel

is sent to the centre speaker.

If set between 1 and 6, a lesser to greater portion of the

centre channel signal is also sent to the left and right

front speakers.

If set to 7, all of the centre channel signal is split evenly between the front left and right

speakers.
