Page 10: About The Ikemi And Genki
The CD12 is our ‘flagship’ CD player. A case machined from two solid aluminium plates contains the Linn ‘CD Engine’, the highest digital audio technology and countless hours of intense engineering work.

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.
- Page 13 HDCD ® Both the Ikemi and Genki are equipped with an HDCD 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...
- Page 14 There are other systems which try to achieve this goal, but they invariably involve sending a high speed (and high noise) clock signal from the DAC to the CD transport. The Linn sync link is unique in its silent effectiveness.

Page 17: Positioning
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 from almost anywhere in a room. For best results the infra-red sensor on the front panel should be kept out of direct sunlight, and it should not be obscured. -
Page 18: Connecting

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. - Page 19 The digital outputs can all be switched off if they are not required. See ‘Using the Ikemi and Genki’.
