NTRODUCTION The Linn KARIK CD Transport and the Linn NUMERIK
digital-to-analogue convertor represent the culmination of several years
research and development, and achieve uncompromised performance
I
standards providing you with an outstanding musical source.
The Linn KARIK CD Transport incorporates an internal digital-to-analogue
convertor (DAC), enabling the KARIK to be used in its own right as a single-box
CD player of the highest possible quality. Consistent with Linn’s philosophy of
ensuring long-term upgrade capability for all our products, the KARIK has the
necessary digital outputs and CD-SYNC input to allow it to be connected to
the Linn NUMERIK at any time in the future, without modification.
The KARIK operates to the highest level of the Compact Disc specifications. It
features advanced error correction, making it tolerant of imperfect disc quality,
giving a significant performance advantage with any chosen disc. It can be
operated from the remote control handset supplied, or directly using the
concealed controls on the front panel.
The Linn NUMERIK digital to analogue converter has been developed from our
professional studio recording system to make this ultimate level of technology
available to the home listener. The NUMERIK is an oversampled DAC using
20-bit convertors which eliminate the low-level distortions found on most
multi-bit DACs. The NUMERIK introduces innovative clock circuitry which cuts
out sound degradation caused by timing jitter. The performance of any high
quality CD Transport with a digital output will be enhanced when combined
with the NUMERIK. Optimum performance is achieved when the NUMERIK is
partnered with the KARIK CD Transport.

SET-UP
KARIK OUTPUT CONNECTIONS The KARIK has two stereo AUDIO OUTPUTS
provided for connection to your preamplifier and direct connection to another
system such as a multi-room application.
The KARIK also has two high quality S/P-DIF digital audio outputs. The
ELECTRICAL OUTPUT is connected to the NUMERIK via the 75 Ohm BNC - BNC
lead provided, or to other external audio processors with phono inputs by the use
of a BNC - Phono adaptor.
The DIAGNOSTIC OUTPUT CONNECTOR is used by your dealer to carry out
diagnostic checks on your KARIK to guarantee quality. He will be able to check for
tracking errors, error rates and most importantly, laser performance. This is an
extremely efficient method of service back-up, assuring you of our continued
product support.
KARIK INPUT CONNECTIONS The KARIK’s SYNC INPUT connection is made
from the NUMERIK by means of a high quality audio phono - phono lead. With this
lead in place the NUMERIK adopts ‘master’ mode operation and superior audio
performance is achieved. When this lead is not in place the NUMERIK will adopt
‘slave’ mode and will operate in a conventional manner.
SLEEP MODE If the DISPLAY switch on the back panel is in, and power is
applied, the KARIK will enter a ‘sleep’ mode. Twenty seconds after the last
operation the display will turn off (show two dashes). Actuation of the door,
front panel controls or remote control will waken the display. This feature, shared
by the Linn Kairn pre-amplifier and Kremlin tuner, saves power and draws less
attention to the products, if required.
When the display switch is out, and power is re-applied, the display will remain
lit continuously.

both on BNC connectors. CHANNEL 1 is intended for use with the Linn KARIK CD
transport. CHANNEL 2 is provided for connection to any other high quality digital
audio source.
NUMERIK OUTPUT CONNECTIONS Two stereo AUDIO OUTPUTS are
provided for connection to your pre-amplifier, and direct connection to another
system such as a multi-room application.
A
SYNC OUTPUT is provided for each digital input. This should be connected to
the corresponding SYNC INPUT on the Linn KARIK CD transport to facilitate
Master Mode operation which eliminates data - related clock jitter.
INDICATOR LIGHTS These are located on the rear panel and are there to assist
when setting up the NUMERIK.
When a particular input channel is selected the corresponding input channel
indicator is lit.
When Master Mode is in operation, the indicator labelled MASTER is lit.
When the NUMERIK is correctly synchronised to an input signal, the indicator
labelled LOCK is lit. When this light is off or flashing, the NUMERIK cannot
synchronise to the input signal. This may be due to incorrect connections. Check
all the leads are plugged into their correct sockets. If LOCK is still not achieved,
there is a more fundamental problem, therefore please contact your Linn dealer.
When the sample rate is 44.1 kHz , the light labelled 44.1 kHz is lit. When the
sample rate is 48 kHz , this light is off.

CD HANDLING
Forgetting all the hype that surrounded the launch of compact disc -
1. Never handle the playing surface of the disc.
2. Scratches on either side of the disc activate correction circuits on a transport.
This process complicates the retrieval of information and may result in
degradation of sound quality.
3. The perimeter of the CD centre hole must be kept in pristine condition, as a
transport relies on an accurate fit of the hole to the spindle to maintain the
highest performance.
4. Keep your disc away from excessive heat. Warped discs complicate the
retrieval of information and may result in degradation of sound quality.
As a general rule CDs should be looked after with the same care as your records.
Remember, the condition of both are vital in achieving the best results from your
hi fi system.
OPERATION The KARIK and NUMERIK have been designed for low power
consumption and cool running. We recommend that they are switched off when
not in use.

KARIK player the previous button pressed has to be one from the Compact
Disc section of the handset.
To enter a track number from 1 to 9, press the corresponding digit on
the remote control for less than 0.5 seconds. When the digit is pressed it is
shown on the display. When the button is released, the KARIK plays the
selected track.
To enter a track number from 10 to 99, press and hold down the button for the
first digit. The digit will be shown on the display. After 0.5 seconds, the
displayed digit will move one place to the left and a dash appears in the
original digit position. Press the button for the second digit. The dash on the
display is replaced by the second digit of the track number and the KARIK
plays the track.
NUMERIK OPERATION To switch the NUMERIK on, press the POWER
button. The power indicator light will illuminate. After about five seconds, the
audio output will unmute, and the NUMERIK is ready for operation.
Channel 1 is selected if there is an S/P-DIF signal on the Channel 1 input,
otherwise Channel 2 is selected. This allows the DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT
enable facility on the KARIK to be used as an input selector on the NUMERIK.
44.1 kHz or 48 kHz sample rates are automatically selected.
The KARIK’s SYNC Input connection is made from the NUMERIK with a high
quality audio phono-phono lead. With this lead in place the NUMERIK adopts
‘master’ mode operation and superior audio performance is achieved.
When this lead is not in place the NUMERIK will adopt ‘slave’ mode and will
operate in a conventional manner. If the currently selected input has the
Master Mode (CD Sync) link connected, Master Mode will be selected.
In case of difficulty when setting up the NUMERIK, indicator lights are
provided on the rear panel. See the SET-UP section for details.

GENERAL SYSTEM INSTALLATION
KARIK AND NUMERIK The KARIK and NUMERIK should be positioned on a
level surface. Extensive internal screening in the KAIRN preamp, KREMLIN
tuner, KARIK and NUMERIK facilitates stacking the products one on top of the
other without interference, if desired.
POWER SUPPLIES Take care not to position too close to signal leads,
turntables or pre-amplifier.
AMPLIFIERS Pre and power amplifiers may hum if positioned too close
together. For minimum hum experiment by moving the components with the
system at full volume but not playing music (although it is best to turn the
volume down whilst actually moving the components).
LOUDSPEAKERS Loudspeakers should be positioned correctly. They should
be mounted on rigid stands, and not subject to any rocking movement.
CLEAN CONTACTS It is important that the electrical contacts in a hi-fi
system are kept mechanically sound and clean. Occasionally unplugging and
replugging all the connectors will effectively clean contacts.
WARNING This should be carried out after the mains supply has been
switched off.
INTERCONNECT LEADS Correct cables should be used. We recommend
2
good quality copper cable for interconnect leads and advise 4mm multicore
copper cable, such as Linn K20, for speaker leads.
Your Linn dealer can supply high quality interconnects for linking all your hi-fi
components.

tracks in the same way as for programming mode A. When you now play the
disc the tracks you have entered will not be played.
NOTES ON PROGRAM MODE While the KARIK is playing a stored program
the A-B REPEAT function is disabled and SKIP i or u SKIP will skip to the
next or previous track in the programmed sequence. SEARCH y will search
through the current track, and then into the next track in numerical, rather
than program, sequence. So, you can use SEARCH y to break out of the
stored program. If you do so though, the program will resume at the end of the
track you used SEARCH y to get into.
