[[File:ParameterHelp.png|740px|Configuration Page]]
<br><br>

=== Digital Output Mode ===
On products with an SPDIF or TOSLINK output socket, you can define the output sample rate.
The options available are:
:'''Raw''', the sample rate of the playback music dictates the output sample rate
:'''Fixed Sample Rate: 88/96kHz''', this will upsample, maintain or downsample the playback to either 88kHz or 96kHz 
:'''Fixed Sample Rate: 192kHz''', this will upsample or maintain the playback to 192kHz 
:'''Disabled''', this will disable all S/PDIF and Toslink outputs

=== Privacy ===
==== Send anonymous usage data to Linn ====
Select Yes to allow your Linn DS/DSM to send usage data to Linn. This will help us decide where to allocate time for new features or improvements.

'''NOTE: No personal information is sent to Linn as a result of this option being checked.'''

==== Send Crash Data ====
Select Yes to allow your Linn DS/DSM to send crash data to Linn in the event of a failure. This will help us in diagnosing and fixing existing issues. This is used by the Linn Helpline and Service department to check and what has caused the Linn DS/DSM to reboot itself.

If you select No this makes it more difficult to help diagnose remotely what has happened to your product.

'''NOTE: No personal information is sent to Linn as a result of this option being checked.'''

=== Delay Setup ===
{{Info:Songcast_Delay_Mode}}

<br>

=== RS232 (proxy) Preamp Connection Setup ===
If you have a Linn Pre-amplifier (RS232 controlled) this can be setup to be controlled by the Kazoo control software. 

* Connect any Linn DS RS232 port to the Linn Preamp RS232 IN port using a Linn RS232 cable
* Connect the Linn DS audio output to the Linn preamp audio input. See  [http://docs.linn.co.uk/wiki/index.php/Systems example system setups] for more information
* Copy the text in the '''Name''' field from the '''Device''' tab
[[file:DsName.png|600px]]
* Select the '''RS232 Connections''' tab
* Select the Linn preamp and the Linn DS com port number it is wired to.
[[file:Rs232Connection.png|600px]]
* Reboot the Linn DS
* Once rebooted, click on the ''Change'' button (upper left of application) and select the Preamp device from the list
* From the source tab, select the Input that the Linn DS is connected to (i.e. Analog 1) and paste the Linn DS name copied before into the '''Name''' field
[[file:ProxyName.png|600px]]
* If setup correctly, your system will be controllable as a single device from a Linn control point
<br>

=== Startup Behavior ===
A number of different settings can be applied to customise the way your device starts up
* '''Startup Mode''': normally your device will power up in '''Sleep''' (aka standy). Select '''Active''' to skip sleep mode and go straight to playback mode on power up
* '''Auto Play''': normally you must press play to start playing audio. Change this setting to '''On''' to make your device play audio immediately when a source is selected (only relevant to Playlist, Radio, and Songcast)
* '''Startup Source''': normally your device will startup on the last source you were listening to. You can change this setting to make sure the device starts up on a specific source instead
* '''Startup Volume''': this setting allows you to select the volume level applied on startup
* As an example, with Startup Mode set to Active, Auto Play set to On, Startup Source set to Radio, and Startup Volume set 50, your device would automatically play Radio at Volume 50 when the power is switched on.
<br>

=== TuneIn Radio Setup ===
You can interact with TuneIn radio on your device in different ways
* '''Kazoo''': you can browse TuneIn using Kazoo's rich interface by logging in to the dedicated TuneIn tile. Make sure '''TuneIn''' is enabled from the '''Streaming Services''' tab 
* '''Presets''': you can make use of your own TuneIn presets using Kazoo or the handset. Select the '''Radio''' source from the '''Sources''' tab and enter your '''TuneIn Username'''
* '''Best of both''': if you login to the Kazoo TuneIn tile with the same username used for radio presets, then you can browse TuneIn from Kazoo and save new stations to your preset list.
<br>

=== Notes ===

* Toslink/SPDIF outputs are NOT Volume controlled
* Output Attenuation has NO effect on the Exakt output
* Setting an RS232 preamp connection automatically sets Internal Volume Control to Off as the preamp will be used instead
* Akurate Kontrol/1: Room name (Devices tab) must match the corresponding Room name of your Linn DS/DSM. Source name should match the Linn DS/DSM device name (similar to RS232 setup)
* Marking a source invisible does not disable it, but simply hides it from control points
* The Source Transformer is to provide galvanic isolation for sources with direct coupling. If you are using a source that already has an audio transformer, such as a ''URIKA'' XLR output, this should be disabled.
<br>

=== Urika II setup ===
<font style="color:blue"><b><u>Exakt Input</u></b></font>  - Relates to the Exakt input number shown in the Sources list. <br>
: 1 - <font style="color:blue">EXAKT1</font>
: 2 - <font style="color:blue">EXAKT2</font>
<br>
<div class="toccolours">
<big><u>Cartridge Settings</u></big><br>
Select the '''<u>CHANGE</u>''' to select the cartridge that you want the Urika II to support. <BR><span style="color:red">'''ENSURE THAT THE PLATTER IS ROTATING (POWERED ON USING THE RADIKAL) BEFORE ANY CARTRIDGES ARE SELECTED OR SETTINGS MADE'''.</span><br><br>
If the cartridge is not listed select "'''Other Moving Coil Cartridge'''" this will allow you to select the Gain(44dB, 50dB, 56dB, 64dB), input resistance (31R -1k0) and input capacitance (0.5nF-2nF). <br><br>
There is nothing to stop you adjusting these settings from the preset cartridge settings and fine tuning to your own music preference.
<br><br>
The Exakt input will allow you to assign the Urika II to one of the two Exakt inputs available. This will allow you to have two turntables setup linked to the same Linn DS/DSM and allow an AB dem.

=== Space Optimisation ===

See the [[Space Optimisation|Space Optimisation]] article for more detailed instructions.

'''An Internet connection is required when using Exakt Systems and Space Optimisation'''

==== Exakt System ====
If you have selected an Exakt system, you will see four configuration tabs.

=====Exakt=====
Allows you to assign an audio channel (i.e. Left, Right, Centre, Surround....) to an Exakt speaker.<br>
If you are using both the Exakt outputs and the analogue outputs in a non-Surround setup then make sure that Konfig > Device > '''"Dual Analogue/Exakt Stereo Output"''' has been enabled. (Davaar55 onwards) <br>
If you want to use a Sub-woofer with the Stereo speaker you can add these as a "Front Left", "Front Right" or "Mono" channel. If you declare this as "LFE" then this output will only be available with HDMI surround playback.(When set to MONO then this is fed LFE plus Front Left and Front Right audio)<br>
Note: using both Analogue and Exakt output then the analogue output will occur approx 45mS BEFORE the Exakt playback.<br>

[[File:KonfigExaktTab.png|740px|Exakt Tabs]]

<br>'''"Exakt.Design Filters"''' & '''<u>Sign-in to Exakt.Design</u>''' are for allow sharing of filters generated by Manufacturers and Retailers. <br>To use these filters you will need to have a Exakt.Design login and have the Exakt design shared with your login by the filter designer (email on Exakt.Design speakers page). <br><br>
If you have "Show Speaker variant versions" enabled in Konfig settings then this will show you different downloads that are available. information on these Exakt filters can be found [[Exakt_filters|HERE]]

'''Note: Surround channels are only possible with Linn DSM products and the HDMI connections are enabled.'''
<br><BR>
[[File:ExaktTabPreview.jpg‎|740px|Exakt Tabs]]
Once you have selected your speakers and assigned them to channels (Front Left, Front Right etc) hit the APPLY button<br>
Note: The PREVIEW button is only available via a Exakt.Design accont and this button will only temporarily setup this speaker configuration and only meant for a preview of the configuration. <br>
<u>'''Once the Linn DS/DSM is put into Standby any settings done in the PREVIEW mode are lost'''</u>

=====Space Optimisation+=====
Provides a listener focused way of applying room optimisation.

[[File:KonfigSpacePlusTab.png|740px|Exakt Tabs]]

====Non-Exakt System====
If you have selected a DS system, you will see two configuration tabs.

=====Space Optimisation=====
Provides a listener focused way of applying room optimisation.

[[File:KonfigSpaceTab.png|740px|Exakt Tabs]]

=====Speakers=====
Only supported speaker types will work with Space Optimisation.<br> 
The current list of supported speakers can be found [http://www.linn.co.uk/systems/technology/space-optimisation#compatible-speakers| here]<br>
<br>

===HDMI===
'''ARC''' -'''A'''udio '''R'''eturn '''C'''hannel allows the Linn DSM HDMI output to receive audio returned from the TV. The Linn DSM will allow you to select this HDMI output as an audio input. This connection will not tell the TV what audio formats are supported so make sure that your TV is only set to Stereo PCM ARC.<br>
'''CEC''' - '''C'''onsumer '''E'''lectronics '''C'''ontrol. 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.

ARC/CEC is only possible on Linn DSM's with the HDMI2 board. 

'''Turn HDMI Off in Sleep''' -  When the Linn DSM in sleep the DSM HDMI output will be dead and will not pass any Audio or Video information to the TV.

''Below Refers to Linn DSM with HDMI2 boards only''<br>

'''Cec Auto Source Select''' - With Cec enabled,this option turned ON and TV ARC enabled, when you bring you TV out of Standby this will automatically switch the Linn DSM to the HDMI ARC input.
