GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
Important Safety Instructions  
Explanation of symbols used on the rear or underside of the apparatus:  
1. Read these instructions.  
2. Keep these instructions.  
3. Heed all warnings.  
This symbol is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated  
dangerous voltages within the enclosure of sufficient magnitude to cause  
electric shock.  
4. Follow all instructions.  
5. Do not use the apparatus near water, for example near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a  
wet basement, near a swimming pool etc.  
6. Clean only with dry cloth.  
7. Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Site the  
apparatus so that its location or position does not interfere with its proper ventilation. For example, the  
apparatus should not be situated on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface that may block the ventilation  
openings, or placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or cabinet that may impede the flow of air  
through the ventilation openings.  
This symbol is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operation,  
maintenance and servicing information in the instruction and service manuals.  
For apparatus connected to the mains electricity supply  
8. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including  
amplifiers) that produce heat.  
CAUTION  
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT REMOVE THE COVER.  
9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarised or grounding type plug. A polarised plug has two blades  
with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide  
blade or the third prong is provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult  
an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.  
NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE.  
REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.  
REPLACE THE MAINS FUSE IN THE PLUG WITH ONE OF THE SAME TYPE AND RATING.  
DISCONNECT SUPPLY CORD BEFORE CHANGING FUSE.  
10. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and  
at the point where they exit from the apparatus.  
11. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.  
12. Use only with the stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus.  
13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.  
14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been  
damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug has been damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects  
have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate  
normally, or has been dropped.  
WARNING  
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT EXPOSE THIS  
APPARATUS TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.  
SHOCK HAZARD - DO NOT OPEN.  
15. Wall or ceiling mounting. Mount the apparatus to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.  
16. Power sources. Connect the apparatus to a power supply only of the type described in the operating  
instructions or marked on the apparatus.  
MAINS PLUGS  
17. Mains plug. Use the mains plug to disconnect the apparatus from the mains supply. The mains plug must be  
accessible at all times. Use the mains switch (if applicable) when the apparatus is not in use.  
18. Power lines. An outdoor antenna should be located away from power lines.  
19. Outdoor antenna grounding. If an outdoor antenna is connected to the apparatus, ensure that the  
antenna system is grounded to provide some protection against voltage surges and static build up. In the  
USA see article 810 of the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70 concerning installation requirements.  
20. Telephone line. Do not connect the apparatus to a telephone line except where specifically instructed to do so.  
21. Objects and liquid entry. Do not let objects or liquids fall into the apparatus. Do not expose the apparatus to  
dripping or splashing. Do not place a vessel containing liquid on top of the apparatus.  
22. No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, should be placed on the apparatus.  
23. The apparatus has been designed for use in moderate and tropical climates.  
This apparatus is supplied with a non-rewireable mains plug for the intended country.  
Replacement mains leads can be obtained from your Linn retailer. Should you need to  
change the plug please dispose of it carefully. A plug with bared conductors is  
dangerous if engaged in a live socket.  
The Brown wire must be connected to the Live (Line) supply pin.  
The Blue wire must be connected to the Neutral supply pin.  
The Green/Yellow wire must be connected to the Earth (Ground) supply pin.  
Please contact your retailer or a competent electrician if you are in any doubt.

the audio. All loudspeakers in the system have been designed to be free-  
standing or installed on a wall, e.g. alongside a flat screen TV.  
It is recommended that KOMPONENT is partnered with a Linn disc player, such  
as CLASSIK Movie Di or one of our UNIDISK universal disc players, for an  
optimised home theatre experience.

Unpacking  
Positioning  
The KOMPONENT 120 loudspeaker is supplied with the following accessories:  
The KOMPONENT 120 loudspeaker can be placed anywhere you find convenient,  
but please consider the following points:  
mains lead  
phono lead  
wall-mounting bracket kit  
spike kit  
set of floor protectors  
For best results, position your KOMPONENT 120 loudspeaker as close as  
possible to either your left front or right front loudspeaker. It can be  
floor-mounted, shelf-mounted or (using the bracket supplied) wall-  
mounted.  
warranty card  
this manual  
wall bracket assembly instructions  
Experimenting with the position may be necessary in order to match the  
sound of the KOMPONENT 120 loudspeaker with other loudspeakers in  
your system and the acoustics of the room.  
We recommend that you retain the packaging in case you need to transport the  
KOMPONENT 120 loudspeaker at a later date.  
Whichever mounting method you employ, ensure that the KOMPONENT 120 is  
held or positioned rigidly, in order to ensure that the movement of the drive  
units is converted to sound energy, rather than cabinet movement (in the form  
of vibration, wobble etc.).  
Voltage selection  
WARNING – Ensure the mains supply is disconnected.  
The KOMPONENT 120 is factory-set for a 230 volt mains supply and must not be  
connected to a mains supply other than this before it is adjusted for your local  
voltage.  
Replacing the fuse in the KOMPONENT 120 speaker  
Should the mains fuse blow, replace it only with an equivalent part (see table  
below). The fuse holder is located just below the mains inlet socket. To replace  
the fuse, disconnect the product from the mains supply, remove the fuse using  
a flat blade screwdriver, insert a new fuse. If the fuse blows a second time there  
is a fault in the product; contact your local retailer.
