Thanks Peter. The "When Stopped" mode isn't all that important to me. The "When Playing" and "When Off" are what I'd like to use. At first I was confused about making the default SS with a timer, but I think I understand your point now. When working, the buttons seemed easy enough to work properly. The timed default me be the entire issue. I'm crossing my fingers.
