UNIDISK SC PLAYER
Owner’s Manual

Introduction
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.
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.
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:
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.

Cleaning
In addition, the UNIDISK SC will play most copy-protected audio discs and data discs
containing MP3, MPEG-2 and JPEG files.
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.
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, we are unable to accept any responsibility for the player being unable to
playback any particular disc. If you have discs that do not play on the Linn UNIDISK SC,
which are subsequently found to play on other brands of player, then this does not imply

Positioning
This chapter explains how to install the UNIDISK SC player into your hi-fi/AV system.
You can position your UNIDISK SC almost anywhere you find convenient, but please
consider the following points:
Note:
●
In this manual, ‘display device’ refers to plasma screens, projectors, projection TVs,
monitors, LCD TVs and televisions.
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
Unpacking
wherever it is placed in a room, provided you keep your UNIDISK SC out of direct
sunlight.
The UNIDISK SC is supplied with the following accessories:
●
luminescent handset with booklet
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.
●
2 x RO3 (AAA) batteries for the handset
●
mains lead
●
1 pair of black interconnect cables
●
this manual
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.
We recommend that you retain all packaging in case you need to transport the
UNIDISK SC at a later date.
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.

Default setting: Interlaced
Aspect Ratio
Default setting: 16:9
The UNIDISK SC is able to account for the video delay
inherent in the processing required for progressive video
signals, thus ensuring that both video and audio signals
are output simultaneously. Set this option to suit the
main display device in your AV system.
Choose the option that matches your display device;
either 4:3, Letterbox or 16:9.
IMPORTANT NOTES - HDMI
If you wish to use the UNIDISK SC’s HDMI output, your display device must be HDMI or
DVI/HDCP compatible. No picture will be available on a display device that has a DVI
input but is not HDMI or DVI/HDCP compatible.
Video Standard
If you have already selected the video signal standard
for your TV using the DISP (display) key on the handset
(see Video Output section at the start of this chapter),
skip this item.
If the HDMI setting is selected, the UNIDISK SC’s digital audio outputs (SPDIF and
TOSLINK) will provide stereo only – i.e. digital surround sound will be unavailable on
these outputs. Analogue outputs are unaffected.
To restore digital surround sound to these outputs, access HDMI Setup (see page 12) and
set HDMI Audio to Off.
Default setting: Native
Choose the option that matches the video signal
standard accepted by your display device. Set to Native
if your display device accepts both NTSC and PAL standards.
Interlaced Out (this item is not availalble
on the Phono version)
Default setting: RGB
Notes:
If Video Standard is set to Native you may notice the screen flicker when a DVD-Video
begins to play. This happens when the UNIDISK SC switches from one video signal
standard to the other.
Select the video output signal accepted by your display
device. If your display device accepts both RGB and
YPrPb signals, set to YPrPb as it usually provides better
picture quality.
If your display device only accepts one type of standard and a PAL to NTSC, or NTSC to
PAL conversion is applied, you may notice degradation in the picture quality when
viewing DVD-Videos or DVD-Audios that have been recorded in the other standard.

Progressive Scan Setup
Note – this menu will only take effect when HDMI has been selected as the Primary
Display Device in the General Setup Menu (see page 9).
The two items below refer to the UNIDISK SC’s component outputs (i.e. the TV SCART
output on the SCART version, the YPrPb outputs on the Phono version), whether they
are outputting an interlaced or progressive signal.
HDMI Audio
Default setting: On
Dither
Default setting: Off
If you are using the display device’s inbuilt
loudspeakers for audio playback, set to On.
On display devices with limited colour depth (e.g. LCD
panels) bands of colour shade may be seen, rather than
smooth transitions in colour shade.
This setting will output a stereo digital signal (SPDIF)
to the display device via the HDMI connector. If the
source material is multi-channel, a stereo down-mix
will be provided at the HDMI and SPDIF outputs.
Setting to On, reduces such colour banding.
Video Detection
Default setting: Auto
IMPORTANT – when set to On, the UNIDISK SC’s
digital audio outputs (SPDIF, TOSLINK and HDMI
itself) will provide stereo only – i.e. digital surround
sound will be unavailable on these outputs. Analogue
outputs are unaffected.
The setting for this option is dependent on the method
that was used to record the original video source
material.
If you are using the UNIDISK SC’s digital outputs to provide surround sound to other
devices, set to Off.
If the source material was recorded on film (e.g. most
movies), set to Progressive.
If the source material was recorded on video tape (e.g.
most television programmes), set to Interlaced.
If you want the UNIDISK SC to determine the setting
based on the information contained on the disc being
played, set to Auto.
Colour Format
Default setting: RGB
Select the option that best suits your display device –
i.e. the one that provides the best picture quality.
Different display devices process the colour format
signal in different ways so what is best for one device
may not be best for another. Either consult your
display device’s user manual or alternatively try each
of the available options and select the best one.
Note – some options may not be available, depending
on the data that is retrieved from the display device’s
EDID (see below).
Note:
You may sometimes find that when set to Auto the screen image flickers. In this case
choose whichever of the other two settings provides the better picture.

device allows the UNIDISK SC to automatically output
the best resolution that the device supports.
It has however been known for some display devices
to provide erroneous data or no data and this can
cause picture problems. In such cases this option
should be set to Disabled.
●
Set to Off if the auxiliary source is audio only
or if the auxiliary source carries a video signal
that you do not want to pass through the
UNIDISK SC.
If set to Disabled, the resolution will be determined
by the Video Standard that is selected in the General

●
Set to Internal if you want the UNIDISK SC to
output its internal video signal (the Linn name

●
Set to Pass-through if you want to route the auxiliary source’s video signal
through the UNIDISK SC (for Pass-through to work, input and output connectors
must match).
Example:
If you have a set-top box’s S-video output connected to the UNIDISK SC’s S-VIDEO IN,
and the set-top box’s digital optical output connected to the UNIDISK SC’s DIG 3 input,
you would want to set DIG 3 Video to Pass-through.

order to enhance the audio signal. Select the setting
you wish to use with your source material.
If any of the UNIDISK SC’s digital outputs are connected
to a Linn system controller, or any other processor
which accepts a sampling rate of 96 kHz, set to
LPCM 96K.
If the external processor does not accept a sampling
rate of 96 kHz, set to LPCM 48K.
For DVD-Videos
Off – Stereo tracks on a disc will play as stereo.
On – Stereo tracks on a disc can be played as stereo or decoded to up to five channels
(depending on the number of speakers in your system and the audio mode selected – see
Surround Sound and Audio Modes chapter).
Notes:
Even when set to LPCM 96K some discs will only output at the lower rate of 48 kHz.
DVD-Video discs with CSS copy protection and have been recorded at a sample rate of
96 kHz will always output audio through the digital outputs at 48 kHz. DVD-Video discs
without CSS copy protection will output at up to 96 kHz.
Auto – The unit will read the code embedded on the disc and will automatically switch
Pro Logic on or off.
Audio signals from Super Audio CDs and DVD-Audio discs are output as analogue only.

If you have selected Music in the Dolby PL II Mode menu, then you are able to enter the
Pro Logic II Cntl menus. Highlighting Dolby PL II Cntl and pressing ‘enter’ reveals the
first Dolby PL II Cntl screen.
This menu is suitable for use if your UNIDISK SC is
connected to front, plus centre and/or surround
speakers.
Dimension
Default setting: 0
Dolby Pro Logic II creates five output channels from
any internal or auxiliary two-channel source, such as
an audio CD, stereo tuner signal or set-top box audio
signal. This is achieved using an advanced, surround
decoder that extracts the spatial qualities of the
original recording/signal without adding any new
sounds. The UNIDISK SC offers four modes of Pro
Logic II operation.
The Dimension control allows you to shift the balance
between the front and surround speakers. Positive
values move the sound towards the front, negative
values towards the surrounds. If a recording is too
spacious or strong from the surround speakers it can be
shifted “forward” to get a better balance. A stereo
recording can be shifted “backward” to make the sound
more enveloping.
Dolby PL
This mode recreates the surround processing offered by original Dolby Pro Logic. The
Dolby PL setting is suitable if the source material is not of the best quality (for
example, a worn VCR tape).
Panorama
Default setting: Off
If set to On the Panorama control extends the audio
signal from the front left and right speakers, to include
the surround left and right speakers. This will add a
“wraparound” effect to the sound.
Music
As its name suggests, this mode is recommended when listening to music. If you
select Music mode you can adjust certain Dolby Pro Logic II parameters in the Dolby
PL II Cntl menu (see opposite).
Movie
Centre Width
This mode is recommended for when watching DVD-Videos.
Default setting: 0
Matrix
This control allows adjustment of the audio signal
between the centre speaker and front left and right
speakers.
Matrix mode can be used to enhance mono signals (e.g. AM radio broadcasts) by
making them seem “larger”.
If set to 0, all of the audio signal for the centre channel
is sent to the centre speaker.
If set between 1 and 6, a lesser to greater portion of the
centre channel signal is also sent to the left and right
front speakers.
If set to 7, all of the centre channel signal is split evenly between the front left and right
speakers.
