ENG Electric UNIDISK SC PLAYER - Manual (Page 7)

Introduction
The UNIDISK SC player is a precision-engineered, high-fidelity audio and video source
component with integrated surround-sound processing and control, designed to facilitate
access to all of the latest high-definition, high-quality music and movie formats and
deliver superb multi-channel playback.
The UNIDISK SC player features Linn’s proprietary SILVER DISK ENGINE technology
which, unlike the signal processing systems within the majority of multi-format players,
identifies source material and processes signals in their native format. CD, Super Audio
CD, DVD-Video and DVD-Audio are therefore handled independently and optimised with
the precise decoding solution for which they were designed, making the UNIDISK SC
player the only no-compromise universal source and control component.
We believe that the development of a high-performance universal solution for all quality
disc formats allows us to satisfy your increasingly diverse needs. Regardless of which
formats the recording and film industries choose to support, you may rest assured that
the UNIDISK range will remain the benchmark for versatility, performance and quality
for many years to come.
Disc types
Discs marked with the following logos are compatible with your UNIDISK SC:
In addition, the UNIDISK SC will play most copy-protected audio discs and data discs
containing MP3, MPEG-2 and JPEG files.
Important note
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 Linn
UNIDISK SC player 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. For this
reason, w

which are subsequently found to play on other brands of player, then this does not imply
that the Linn UNIDISK SC is in any way at fault. There are many web sites 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 Linn
UNIDISK SC’s playback abilities. We welcome the receipt of all suspect discs as this may
assist us in ensuring that the Linn UNIDISK SC continues to develop but cannot accept
discs from end users on the basis that we have made any warranty about being able to
learn how to play them.
Novelty discs
Do not play irregularly shaped discs (heart-shaped, business card size, etc) in the
UNIDISK SC as they may damage the player.
Audio outputs
The audio outputs for compatible disc types are as follows:
* Means as many audio channels as are present in the source material.
**Means that multi-channel source material can be downmixed to two channels.
Cleaning
Disconnect the UNIDISK SC from the power supply before cleaning. Remove dust and
fingerprints with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using domestic cleaning products on the unit.
