3.Select the UPDATE button against the Linn DS/DSM you want to update.
4. Konfig will download the firmware update and proceed to updating the selected Linn DS/DSM player. If you encounter any problems, please contact your Linn Specialist or Contact Linn. From Davaar 99 onwardsTo update/recover, using Linn App, and your current Linn DS/DSM is Davaar 99 or higher

PIN FAQs:
Deezer on the Linn DS/DSM
Linn Songcast
There is a ! on the front panel of my Linn DS/DSMThere is a speaker setup issue on the Linn DS/DSM Surround Sound Rules
The front panel of the DS is showing a flashing dot or lightening flash and I cannot see the Linn DS with Kazoo or KonfigThis is the Linn DS either in "startup" mode or in "Waiting for Software" mode.
If you have any problems getting the Linn DS on an Ethernet network, (dot continuously flashing), try the following options:- Option1
You will find that some of the devices in the system get confused and cause system confusion. The power cycling will do a reset of the system and recover most issues. Option2
Option3
Some networks only have a limited number of DHCP address’s. if you have already connected some PC’s to this system, your Router/DHCP server can remember these devices, (even though no longer connected) and will not allocated these previously assigned IP addresses to newly connected products. So the case of unplugging one device to free up an IP address for the DS to use will NOT work with most Routers/DHCP servers if there are no free DHCP IP addresses available. This will give a better idea as to what is causing the problem. (98% of the time, this is due to a local network issue). If you always get the flashing dot then the lightening flash symbol then the Linn DS/DSM needs to be programmed. Check the Konfig Manual > Updates section or contact your Linn Retailer to get assistance.
