Much as I love my Duet, I have to agree with the review. Things have mostly gone right for me so far, not that I can give much credit to the extremely sketchy quick-start guide that came with the Duet. I'm a semi-fiddly kind of guy, so I was able to get it up and running despite the too-brief instructions, which (as I recall) didn't even include a clear explanation of how all the darned controller buttons work, or what the different colors on the receiver mean.
Entirely by accident, some days later I stumbled across the online guide, which was enormously helpful and enlightening. It would have been even more enormously helpful if it had been printed and included in the lavishly fancy box. Or at least alluded to somewhere; I could be wrong, but I don't think even a link to the online guide was included. As I say, I've been lucky. But I have had a couple of tense moments, and I know that something in the whole complicated system (computer/Duet/wireless) may yet go wrong, and I'm gonna be in big trouble. This is probably my fault - I'm fiddly, but I'm not THAT fiddly. But I'd be loath to recommend the Duet to friends, most of whom would have difficulty setting the thing up and maintaining it without a lot more help than is provided in the package. -- Enoch Soames ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enoch Soames's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12483 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49085 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
