Linar Model 10 Multi-channel Integrated Amplifier 11
Operating Modes
Your Linar Multi-Channel Integrated Amplifier gives you flexibility by working in 4
different modes.
2-Channel Stereo (plus Subwoofer)
By selecting the inputs labelled CD, Tuner, AUX2,and AUX3, your amplifier will
operate in the 2-channel Stereo Mode. The signal will be amplified through the
front left and right channels. If you have a subwoofer connected, it will also
operate. This is the most basic mode of the Linar 10.
5.1-Channel Surround
By selecting the input labelled AUX1, your amplifier will operate in the 5.1
Channel Mode. The signal fed into the 5.1 AUX 1 inputs will be amplified through
all channels. This is the mode in which to operate your system if you wish to
listen to SACD, DVD-Audio, or other Surround sources.
4-Channel Stereo (plus Subwoofer)
When listening to any source connected to the inputs labelled CD, Tuner, AUX2,
and AUX3, pressing the ST IN 4 CH button will feed the source signal to both the
front left and right channels as well as the rear left and right channels. This
provides you with 4 channels playing the same source, great for parties or large
listening spaces.
Bi-Amplification
The Linar Model 10 can be used to bi-amplify your main channel speakers in a 2-
channel only system (Speakers must have two sets of inputs and have jumpers
removed prior to bi-amplifying). Bi-amplification cannot be combined with 5.1-
channel surround because the rear channel amplifiers are used for the high
frequency drivers of your front speakers. To bi-amplify your system:
1. Connect a set of speaker cables from the front left and right speaker
outputs to the low frequency inputs of your front channel speakers.
2. Connect a set of speaker cables from the rear left and right speaker
outputs to the high frequency inputs of your front channel speakers.
3. Select the ST IN 4 CH button.
Your speakers are now bi-amplified!
You can adjust the relative volume level of your high frequency drivers by using
the REAR VOL
functions as described in the Volume Settings section. This will
allow flexibility and fine-tuning of your system.
