Linn DS Radio

Introduction

Cara 6 sees the introduction of a dedicated radio source for all Linn DS devices. Radio Time is the selected radio provider. Radio stations are stored and selected for playback as Presets. You are allowed a maximum of 100 presets per device.

Initial Setup

  • Initially every Linn DS device is linked to the Linn Worldwide radio time account. The first three presets in this account are high quality radio stations hosted by Linn Records (Linn Radio, Linn Classical, and Linn Jazz)
  • Linn provide a number of regionalised Radio Time accounts as well. You can select the relevant account from Linn Konfig (version 3.6 or higher).
