UK USERS PLEASE READ THIS IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Fuse replacement
This appliance is fitted with a non-rewireable 13 amp mains plug. The plug contains a
5 amp fuse. If the fuse has blown it can be replaced as follows:
a) Pull out the red fuse cover/carrier.
b) Remove and dispose of the blown fuse.
c) Fit a new 5 amp BS1362 approved fuse into the carrier and push the carrier
back into the plug.
Always ensure the fuse cover is fitted. If the fuse cover is missing do not use the plug.
Contact your Linn retailer to obtain a replacement fuse cover.
Fuses are for fire protection and do not protect against electric shock.
Mains plug replacement
Should your mains plug need replacing and you are competent to do this proceed as follows.
If you are in doubt contact your Linn retailer or a competent electrician.
a) Disconnect the plug from the mains supply.
b) Cut off the plug and dispose of it safely. A plug with bared conductors is
dangerous if engaged in a live socket.
c) Only fit a 13 amp BS1363A approved plug with a 5 amp fuse.
d) The cable wire colours or a letter will be marked at the connection points of most
quality plugs.
Attach the wires securely to their respective points. The Brown wire must go to the Live pin,
the Blue wire must go to the Neutral pin, and the Green/Yellow wire must go to the Earth pin.
e) Before replacing the plug top ensure that the cable restraint is holding the outer
sheath of the cable firmly and that the wires are correctly connected.

UNIDISK SC PLAYER
Owner’s Manual
Introduction

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:
Recordable

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:
Disc type Digital Analogue
Super Audio CD None As mix* / Stereo downmix**
DVD-Audio None As mix* / Stereo downmix**
DVD-Video As mix* As mix* / Stereo downmix**
(Dolby Surround or DTS)
DVD-Video (stereo) Stereo Stereo / Dolby PL II surround encoding
CD Stereo Stereo / Dolby PL II surround encoding
DTS CD As mix* As mix* / Stereo downmix**
Video CD / Super VCD Stereo Stereo
* Means as many audio channels as are present in the source material.
**Means that multi-channel source material can be downmixed to two channels.
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,

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.

Connecting
This chapter explains how to install the UNIDISK SC player into your hi-fi/AV system.
Note:
In this manual, ‘display device’ refers to plasma screens, projectors, projection TVs,
monitors, LCD TVs and televisions.
Unpacking
The UNIDISK SC is supplied with the following accessories:
●
luminescent handset with booklet
●
2 x RO3 (AAA) batteries for the handset
●
mains lead
●
1 pair of black interconnect cables
●
this manual
We recommend that you retain all packaging in case you need to transport the
UNIDISK SC at a later date.
Positioning
You can position your UNIDISK SC almost anywhere you find convenient, but please
consider the following points:
●
Allow at least 10cm of space to the sides, rear and above the UNIDISK SC for air
circulation.
●
You should have no problems operating the UNIDISK SC with the handset
wherever it is placed in a room, provided you keep your UNIDISK SC out of direct
sunlight.
Note regarding Plasma and LCD screens
Plasma and large LCD screens emit infra-red (IR) frequencies that can interfere with the
IR remote operation of the UNIDISK SC if the emitted IR hits the product’s display. Take
care not to place the UNIDISK SC in a position where it faces the Plasma / LCD screen
or otherwise allows the emitted IR to shine directly on to it. A position below or directly
adjacent to the screen will normally avoid such interference.
Important:
Do not open the UNIDISK SC’s disc drawer if the unit is behind glass doors as this can
damage the drawer’s mechanism.
Voltage selection
The UNIDISK SC contains an automatic internal mains voltage switch. This switch
operates on all worldwide mains voltages from 100V to 240V. Manual adjustment on the
product for setting the input mains voltage is not possible.
This unit must be earthed. Use the earthed mains lead supplied. Never use an
unearthed plug or adaptor.

Pressing a source key (DVD, CD, TUNER, TV or AUX) on the handset

About the setup menus
The on-screen setup menus enable you to configure your UNIDISK SC to suit the
requirements of your display device, the speakers in your AV system and much more. It
is essential that you use the setup menus to inform the UNIDISK SC about components
that it is connected to. Please take the time to configure your UNIDISK SC correctly.
The menus are divided into seven categories:
General Setup
For configuring the general audio and video setup of the unit.
Speaker Setup
For configuring the unit to the number, size and position of your loudspeakers.
Progressive Scan Setup
For configuring the progressive outputs on the unit, if used.
HDMI Setup
For configuring the HDMI output on the unit, if used.
Video Source Setup
SHIFT

--
For configuring the video output of the unit.
Audio Setup

Preferences
For setting up additional features such as subtitles and parental control. (This category
cannot be accessed if there is a disc playing in the unit.)
Note:
The setup menus can be accessed when a disc is playing in the unit (bar the Preferences
menus, see above) unless the disc is a DVD-Audio.
