There is a IR sender built into the controller. Today it can be used to control a Squeezebox Classic or any of its predecessors. Have a look in Settings - Advanced Settings - Factory Test. I'm sure at some point in the future you can use the controller to control your amp but someone has to write the necessary code first. martgadget;292576 Wrote: > 2) Are my thumbs too big for the turney-wheel? > > - My thumbs 'slip' on the wheel unless you press quite hard > (un-natrual), I think this is due to the matt-slippery finish of the > plastic - I keep thinking about fashioning a stick-on overlay for the > scroll wheel to make it more 'sticky' -licking my thumb looks stoopid. > Not knowing your thumbs I can't give you a definitive answer if they are too big ;-) I've been using the controller over the last couple of months almost daily and never had the feeling the scroll wheel was too slippery. I never have dry hands so this could be a whole different story if you tend to have very dry hands.
