Template:Info:DS Software Version

This procedure is not difficult. The first step is finding out which software/firmware you are using to minimise the steps required.

From Software version Davaar 99, Konfig has retired from providing software update AFTER this software/Davaar version.

Up to > Davaar 98, then use Konfig to update the Linn DS/DSM to the latest software…

From Davaar99+ then you will need to use the Linn App or IR handset (See point1 below)

To check what version of Software you are running on your Linn DSM, you can either:

1. Use the IR Handset

On the REM 022 use the SHUFFLE key, Press and HOLD this key for 2 seconds

On the REM 020 use the # key, Press and HOLD for 2 seconds,

On older products: early Majik, Akurate, early Klimax and Kiko:

* If this action states, "Your Software is up-to-date" or "Software update available...." then you are running Davaar99 or higher.

* If there is an update available, you will be able to authorise the Linn DS/DSM by pressing the the joystick UP then joystick RIGHT buttons.

* If this states anything else, then you are on Davaar 97 or lower

On newer products: New Majik, Any Selekt DSM & new Klimax DSM:

This will show "Device" on the front panel display. Hit the RIGHT cursor button and this will show you the product information including the software version. (Check point 2, below, on how to decode this version.)

If there is an update available, you will be able to perform this update by following the instructions on the Linn DS/DSM screen.

2: Use Konfig and select your Linn DS/DSM. The Software version is structured as a Software family(4=Davaar) :

Major Release version, (this is the key number to use) : Minor version of software (Ignore this just now)

4:99.491 relates to 4=Davaar, 99=Major software version, 491=Minor version. Therefore, is Davaar-99

Note: Konfig can still be used for these actions, it must still be used as a stepping stone to the latest Linn DS/DSM software.

3. Open Manage Systems and the Firmware is listed on the product configuration page (top right). The Firmware version is decoded in the same manner as the Konfig setup.
