  • Enable Consumer Electronics Control of the Linn DSM
When you have the ARC enabled on your TV and the Linn DSM is listening to your TV via the HDMI ARC input, this will pass through the Volume, Mute & Standby commands from your TV Remote to control the Linn DSM.

NOTE:

1. If you get no audio, you may have to go into the TV settings and change the output from eARC to ARC
2 Davaar 116 will now open the CEC control from other HDMI devices to the Linn DSM and TV, and may cause issues you have not previously experienced. Your set-top box or Apple TV box will also be sending CEC commands.
If you have HDMI control or startup issues, you will have to go into your other HDMI devices and DISABLE any CEC control.. (All the products may need to be power cycled to use the new settings.)

  • Enable to auto-switch to TV ARC connection and action TV standby if CEC commands are available.

1 These operations are totally dependent on the TV operation, that is the TV sending and receiving CEC commands. Some of these operations may not work. This is not an issue with the Linn DSM but the TV's implementation of CEC control.
