Installation

Please read the following carefully before installing the unit in your system – your unit may need to be reconfigured by your Linn retailer.


Exakt options

Exakt usage with the Akurate DSM/1 can be found in Akurate_Exakt_System

To enable Exakt options on the Exakt DS ensure that the internal volume control is turn ON in Konfig.


Front display information

Key points

  • "No Network/LAN" indicates that the Linn DS/DSM/HUB does not have a live computer network connection. This can simply be that the cable is loose or that your computer network/LAN is off/not connected.
  • ! indicates that the Linn DS/DSM/HUB is expecting to see all of the pre-configured Exakt devices, (Exakt speakers, Exakrbox.., Urika-II) connected but it cannot see them. This is typically because the Exakt devices are physically disconnected from the Exakt-link network, they physically have no power going to them or the Linn DS/DSM/HUB has prevously been configured for these products but have not been removed from its setup.
