Yeah I think so also.. I think I'll investigate further, but I will update firmware (as it was one of the 1st 109D's so the firmware is 'old'). See what happens.. (I'm just seeing how to do this in ubuntu, as the pioneer site gives a .exe with the new firmware...(i think i might try it with Wine, but not 100% certain it will work)..... -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
