Introduction Thank you for buying this product. The Ikemi and Genki are the latest Linn CD players. Both products are covered in this manual as they share many common attributes. If you just want to play music now, skip to the section on ‘Using the Ikemi and Genki’. If you would like to learn more about the Ikemi and Genki, read on. 1 IKEMI & GENKI

The Linn CD players. We have a range of four CD players: The Classik integrated CD player, pre and power-amplifier is our starting point. This is a self contained, independent product capable of giving a powerful and truly musical performance from a compact and versatile package. The Genki is a true high performance CD player for those who want to build a great music playing system one component at a time. Its audio quality justifies using it with the best control and playback systems, and its b

Details, similarities, differences. The most obvious external difference between the Ikemi and Genki is the CD loading slot. The slim aluminium drawer of the Ikemi is the only visible part of the CD mechanism. Inside is a precision machined and very ingenious CD loading mechanism. Its ‘mechatronic’ design is built up from a rigid circuit board which contains the CD servo and decoding circuitry, the mechanism control circuitry and software, and the motors, pulleys, belts and optical sensors which

the same laser, CD servo and decoding circuitry, D/A convertor and power supply. All the digital and analogue audio circuitry is contained on one high density surface mount circuit board. The ultra low noise power supplies, low jitter master clock and high resolution D/A convertor are all focussed on providing high musical performance through both the fixed and variable outputs. If you already have a good control amplifier and are therefore using the Genki fixed output, you may wish to consider

® HDCD . ® Both the Ikemi and Genki are equipped with an HDCD decoder. ® HDCD is a digital signal processing system developed by Pacific Microsonics of California which conceals control codes into a very ® small fraction of the recorded CD digital audio stream. An HDCD decoder recognises these control codes and uses them to process the digital audio to increase its dynamic range and resolution, while leaving the original digital stream compatible with conventional CD ® players. The HDCD process

Sync Link™. The Sync Link is a simple system which we have used since we made our first CD player (the Karik) and separate DAC (the Numerik) in 1991, to minimise the jitter introduced by the SPDIF interface commonly used to connect digital audio components. In a sync link equipped CD transport and DAC, the DAC instead of having to recover its clock signal from the incoming SPDIF stream contains its own free running low noise master clock, connected directly to the D/A chips. A low frequency (alm

Setting up the IKEMI and GENKI This chapter explains how to unpack your CD player, and how to set it up with your other hi-fi components. Unpacking The IKEMI and GENKI are supplied with complete with the following accessories: • A remote control handset • A mains lead • Mains fuses 7 • This manual • Audio interconnect cables We recommend you retain the packaging in case you need to transport the CD player at a later date. WARNING: Do not connect the mains supply until you have verified that the

Replacing the fuses Before replacing the fuse identify the correct fuse for your local voltage: • 100V: T800mA • 115V: T800mA • 230V: T800mA The fuse compartment is on the mains inlet module to the left of the voltage selector. Disconnect the mains supply by removing the IEC mains cable from the mains inlet module. Using a flat blade screwdriver remove and replace the fuse. If the fuse blows a second time there is a fault in the product. Contact your local retailer. 8 Earthing. This product must

Positioning the IKEMI and GENKI You can position your CD player almost anywhere you find convenient, but the following considerations may be useful. The CD player can be placed on top of other products, provided you allow plenty of air circulation around components that generate heat, such as power amplifiers. Locating the IKEMI and GENKI for use with the handset The Linn infra-red remote control system is exceptionally sensitive, and you should be able to operate your CD player with the handset

Connecting the IKEMI and GENKI The following diagram shows the rear panel connections of the Ikemi and Genki. 10 Switch OFF. Always switch off all equipment before changing any connections as surges may cause serious equipment damage. IKEMI. Analogue outputs. The Ikemi has two identical pairs of single ended (RCA phono socket) outputs. Use one to connect to your main control amplifier, and one for connection to other components, for example a multiroom distribution system. If your control amplif

Use the digital outputs for connecting to digital recorders, processors etc. The digital outputs can all be switched off if they are not required. See ‘Using the Ikemi and Genki’. The Sync Link™ connector is only of use with a Linn DAC, such as the Numerik. The remote in/out connectors are for use in a Linn Knekt system.

Using the IKEMI & GENKI This chapter explains how to use the IKEMI and GENKI. Using the front panel We designed the IKEMI and GENKI to be easy to use. The front panel display gives clear information about what you are doing and, although there are many sophisticated features, all the most commonly used ones require only one or two key presses. The illustrations on the following pages explain the function of each of the front panel keys, and the meaning of the different parts of the display. 12
