CONNECT Feature
This chapter describes how to operate the CONNECT feature, for use when two or more
Classik Movie Systems are linked together.
About CONNECT
The CONNECT feature allows you to link a maximum of four Classik Movie Systems (that
operate as receiver units), to a further Classik Movie System (that operates as a driver
unit).
Cable connections between the driver and receiver units allow communication of front
panel or handset signals, plus the feeding of the source audio signal (CD sound, tuner
signal etc) from the driver to the receivers. This allows remote control of the driver unit
from any of the receivers. You could, for example, listen to a CD from a receiver unit in a
bedroom even though the disc itself is in the driver unit in your lounge.
You can also control all the receiver units from the driver unit. This is a useful function
when holding a party, as the same CD or radio station can be heard in up to five
different rooms.
The driver and receivers can also operate as stand-alone units.
Setting up a CONNECT system
Link the Classik Movie Systems using CAT5 cable (available from your Linn
retailer/distributor - standard computer CAT5 cable will not suffice).
● Lay a suitable length of cable as you might a telephone extension (along skirting
boards, around doorways), ensuring it is firmly secured to walls etc.
● Disconnect all units from the mains supply.
● Connect the cable to the units as shown in the diagram below.
Alternatively, have your CONNECT system installed by your local Linn
retailer/distributor.
The driver unit feeds a standard stereo audio signal to the receivers, therefore a pair of
suitable speakers need to be attached to each receiver in the system.
