Introduction
The Linn KIVOR TUNBOKS is a concurrent archive and playback music library capable
of storing and accessing over one thousand hours of full bandwidth, CD quality audio.
When used as part of a Linn KNEKT INTERSEKT multi-room audio system, the product
is capable of supplying up to 16 sources of high quality, pitch accurate audio to a
maximum of 128 rooms.
The KIVOR TUNBOKS hardware is managed by REKURSIV, Linn’s proprietary music
management software that provides safe and robust storage and ensures the integrity
of all media in both domestic and marine environments. The KIVOR TUNBOKS is
supplied with a single license copy of the LINNTEK PC Setup and Control Utility that
allows the user to manage archived audio and create and administer individual play
lists.
The KIVOR TUNBOKS has been designed to eliminate many of the quality problems
associated with multi-CD changer products and hard disc storage systems, and
represents our highest performance solution for the storage and playback of audio
within a multi-room system.
Important notes: disc formats and types
Only audio CDs, CD-Rs and CD-RWs can be archived on to the KIVOR TUNBOKS.
DVDs, SACDs, Video CDs etc, are not compatible with this unit.

ott insert 8cm discs or irregularly shaped discs (heart-shaped, business card size
etc) into the KIVOR TUNBOKS as they may damage the unit.
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 KIVOR TUNBOKS 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.

diisscc. If you have discs that do not
archive/playback on the KIVOR TUNBOKS, which are subsequently found to
archive/playback on other brands or types of hard disc recorders, then this does not
imply that the KIVOR TUNBOKS is in any way at fault. There are many websites 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
archiving/playback abilities of the KIVOR TUNBOKS. We welcome the receipt of all
suspect discs as this may assist us in ensuring that the KIVOR TUNBOKS continues to
develop, but we cannot accept discs from end users on the basis that we have made
any warranty about being able to learn how to archive or play them back. Please
consult the Linn end user website at
www.linn.co.uk
where you will be able to find
links to some of the various sites that list suspect discs
The user interface
The operating controls for your KIVOR TUNBOKS and the contents of its database
can be displayed on a PC or a third-party touch-screen device. The appearance and
operation of the interface on touch-screen devices can be customized by the installer
of your KIVOR TUNBOKS, to suit your requirements. The operating instructions and
the user interface illustrations shown in this manual relate to the PC version of the
interface – the LINNTEK Control Utility (included on the CD ROM) and therefore may
not mimic those installed on a touch-screen device.
