My Selekt DSM has a RED Linn symbol on the dial, what does this mean?
- If you do not have a live network/LAN connection on the Selekt DSM the Linn symbol on the dial will go red.
- If your network cable is plugged in and your network/LAN is alive then check that you have the network/LAN cable plugged into the LAN socket (#3 on the back panel diagram) and NOT the Exakt socket (#10 back panel diagram).
- After a live network/LAN connection is made the LINN symbol on the dial will turn white after 5-10 seconds.

- This means that the Selekt DSM is in :
- Searching for Exakt speakers after being woken from Sleep (typically only flashes for a couple of seconds after waking from Sleep)
- or
- FALLBACK mode : Fallback is a state that means that the product is waiting for a software update. To stop this flashing either:
What does the shimmering dial mean?
This is to show that the Selekt DSM is starting up after a mains power on. It will typically do this in 30–45 seconds, but if the Linn Selekt DSM is performing a software update, this may take a little longer.
What does a dim/bright dial mean?
This is to show when the Selekt DSM is in Mute mode.
