Or if anyone find old ones one ebay ,some original users never managed to use the products properly . Part of faulttracing may be to reinstall the firmware . Note to self and others do make copies of the current fw for any player you have ,and dont forget the old ones in storage . For example my controller been stored for years it totally out of sync if i bring it to life :) As an exampel there are several user using the very old controller fw just to have the onboard player functioning (it works better with the pre Radio/Touch versions of squeezeplay ) Maybe its more practical if as many of as possible back up the fw . Supose part of it cant really be redistrubuted by anyone for some legal reasons or I'm i wrong there ? -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
