| Subject: | Phatnoise Connection Success!! |
--> XDP4000X-List message posted by: bobbybraun@comcast.net
I currently have no scrolling on any source, in dash CD, Changer, or Phatbox.
Auto Scroll is set to on, and when pressing the 'scrl' button on the remote all
I get is a beep with no response. When I hooked up the PB for the first time
scrolling actually worked a few times, but now it's back to normal. This was
the first time since I can remember that scrolling has functioned on my deck,
so the addition of the PB is not the problem. I burn all my cd's I listen to
in my car, and in doing so I add CD text to them during the process. The text
always functions properly as far as the information that can be seen without
scrolling, but I get nothing more. I've just gotten used to it being this way,
but I wonder what the problem is? I have tried factory pressed cd's that
are CD Text encoded as well, and they function the same way, so I guess that mostly
rules out problems during the burning process. Maybe a bad master uni-link
cable? Maybe I should try the scrolling feature
with m
y processor and all it's accessories unplugged to see what happens?
