Classik-K Product Description
Control of the Main-room system from a Secondary-room is done very simply - as
long as the Main-room is selected on the Secondary-room Classik-K,
all
IR signals
are passed along the interconnect cable between the rooms, regardless of what they
are or whether they originated at the front panel or via a (Linn or non-Linn) remote
handset. At the other end,
Classik
commands (CD / Tuner / amplifier commands) will
be recognised by the other Classik-K and obeyed, but any commands that it doesn’t
recognise (e.g. non-Linn commands) are simply passed on to the IR-Out sockets
(see ‘Control of non-Linn products’).
While Secondary-rooms can control the Main-room Classik, they cannot control the
its volume, balance etc as obviously this would be inconvenient for anyone listening
in the Main-room.
Classik remote commands are in RC5 format.
RS232 control of Classik-K is not possible
NOTE - Control of a Secondary-room Classik-K from the Main-room or from another
Secondary-room is not possible under any circumstances. This is true for Knekt and
Connect.
Multiroom Control of non-Linn products
Non-Linn products can usually be controlled in a Classik-K multiroom system, as long
as they are IR remote-controllable:
1. Connect an IR repeater to one of the IR-Out sockets at the back of the Classik-K
Important Note
– Different (non-Linn) products use different IR frequency
ranges. It is necessary to use the correct IR-Out socket and perhaps adjust the
frequency range of the socket (see User Functions 12 & 13 in Owners Manual). If
you know the frequency range of the product’s remote, it can be very easily
configured, whereas in other cases it may require some trial & error until you find
which socket & frequency range applies.
It is important to read the instructions included with the IR Repeater.
2. Attach the other end of the IR repeater (it has a self-adhesive pad) to the front
panel of the non-Linn product, over the remote-receiver of the product (if it is not
marked, some trial-and-error may be necessary).
3. Take the product’s remote handset to one of the Secondary-rooms and select the
Main-room on that room’s Classik-K.
4. Select the input to which you have connected the product (e.g. Aux).
5. Point the product’s remote handset at the Classik-K and you can control the
product as normal.
IR-Repeater part details
:
XANTECH 282 (available from most electronic parts
suppliers – e.g. Tandy, Maplin, RS, Radio Shack etc). Note – this is not a Linn part
and is not available from Linn.
NOTE - If the customer finds that moving a handset from room to room is
inconvenient, they could buy a programmable remote control for each room (this has
the added advantage that they would only require one remote for each room as it
could control the Classik etc as well).
