USER FUNCTION 5 (U5)
The pre-amplifier has memories associated with each input which are used to store the volume,
balance and mono/stereo settings. The memories are also required for the “source level equalisation” function. The
memories are enabled when the option is 0.
Option 0 allows the pre-amplifier to remember automatically the last setting for volume, balance and mono/stereo. Option
1 disables the memories so that the setting of volume, balance and mono/stereo is the same for all listen inputs and the
“source level equalisation” function is disabled.
USER FUNCTION 6 (U6)
Two phone inputs, Ph1 and Ph2, are provided, but they cannot be used simultaneously, as men-
tioned earlier. Since most users are likely to have only one turntable, Option 1 or 2 restricts the input selection to the Ph1
or Ph2 input respectively.
USER FUNCTION 7 (U7)
Option 0 connects the signal from the front panel remote control sensor to the REMOTE OUT
socket. This allows the Kairn to act as a remote control receiver for other Linn equipment which may be in a concealed
location. In some installations this facility may not be required. If option 1 is selected, the REMOTE OUT socket is driven
only by signals connected to the REMOTE IN socket.
USER FUNCTION 8 (U8)
The listen source and volume after the Kairn is switched on are the same as those used last time
if the option is 0. When option 1 is selected, the listen source is unchanged but the volume is preset to 50 at switch-on.
When option 2 is selected, the listen source and volume setting at that instant are memorised. These settings are then
used each time the Kairn is switched on. This option could be used, for example, to select the ‘tun’ source at volume level
60 at switch-on irrespective of the settings used last time.
USER FUNCTION 9 (U9)
When option 1 is selected, pressing any of the ‘tuner’ controls on the remote handset will auto-
matically set the Kairn listen source to ‘tun’. Similarly, pressing the ‘compact disc’ controls (except OPEN and STOP) on
the handset will set the listen source to ‘CD’. This facility is disabled when the option is set to 0.
USER FUNCTION 10 (U10)
Option 0 disables the control of the Kairn by a Linn multi-room system. Select option 1 to allow
the Kairn to be used in the main room of a Linn multi-room system which has Majik amplifiers but on Knekt Room Control
Units (RCU) in the remote rooms. The tape record path of the Kairn supplies audio via a Linn Knekt Driver. In each remote
room the desired source of the main system is selected by choosing the corresponding record input of the Kairn. This is
achieved by pressing the WHAT button on the Kairn remote handset or the MATRIX button on the handset of the Majik
amplifier. Note that the record source cannot be changed if the “record lock” is turned on.
USER FUNCTION 11 (U11)
Option 0 allows the AUX/AUX1 input to be used as a general purpose line-level input. Option 1
allows the Kairn to be used in conjunction with a surround sound processor to provide the front left and right audio chan-
nels. The surround sound processor should be connected to the AUX/AUX1 input of the Kairn. This input is specially con-
figured to have unity gain, corresponding to a volume setting of 80. The volume and channel balance is then controlled
by the surround sound processor. When selected this input is displayed as SSP and the volume, balance, and volume
functions are disabled. If any attempt is made to change the volume, and volume settings the display will change to show
SSP. The other Kairn inputs are unaffected.
NOTE: When option 1 is selected, User Function U8 should be set to U8 = 0. Otherwise, should the Kairn be ‘powered
down’ with SSP input selected, the volume will default to 50 instead of 80 as required by the SSP input.
USER FUNCTION 12 (U12)
Option 0 makes the record source selection independent from the listen source. This option
should be set when the Kairn is used in a multi-room system. Option 1 simplifies the selection of the record source by
making it follow the listen source. Thus whenever a listen source is selected the record input is set to be the same -
unless the ‘record lock’ is on.
To exit the “user function” mode, press any of the buttons
RECORD LISTEN BALANCE
or
VOLUME
on the front panel, or
REC LISTEN
on the handset. Alternatively, wait for the mode to time-out approximately twenty seconds after the last but-
ton press.
To restore all the User Functions to the original factory setting, first switch off the tuner, press and hold the - button and
switch on the power. When the display shows INIT, the button may be released. All User Options are then set on 0.
