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 Linns 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.

NUMERIK INPUT CONNECTIONS The NUMERIK has two S/P-DIF inputs,  
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.

REMOTE CONTROL  
One feature of the remote control is that you can enter a track number  
directly. Since the numeric section of the remote handset can be used for the  
Compact Disc, Preamp and Tuner functions, to link the numbers to the  
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.

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.

MAINTENANCE  
The KARIK and NUMERIK are designed for long life. To reinforce our  
commitment to customer satisfaction and extended product life, we have  
included in the design of the KARIK a DIAGNOSTIC OUTPUT CONNECTOR  
for ease of maintenance. We recommend that you contact your dealer  
approximately two years after purchase, to arrange for a free diagnostic check  
on your KARIK.  
CLEANING Dust or finger marks can be removed using a soft, slightly damp  
cloth. Avoid the use of domestic cleaning fluids.  
WARNING Disconnect the mains supply first.  
FUSE If the fuse in the mains inlet connector should blow, replace it with the  
correct type only. To replace the fuse, first switch off and disconnect the  
mains lead. Open the fuse drawer on the mains inlet connector by grasping  
either side of the drawer front and pulling outwards. The drawer has two  
compartments, the inner one contains the active fuse and the outer one  
contains a spare fuse. Remove the blown fuse by poking it out from the under  
side of the drawer using a small screwdriver or the end of a pen. Insert the  
spare fuse into the inner compartment and close the drawer.  
If the new fuse blows then there may be a fault and the complete unit should  
be returned to your Linn dealer.
