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? -------------- Original message -------------- From: "Roland M" > --> XDP4000X-List message posted by: "Roland M" > > >--> XDP4000X-List message posted by: bobbybraun@comcast.net > > > Have any of you had any odd reactions to the scrolling text ability of the > C90 and it's CD-Text capabilities?

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.  Ma ybe a bad master uni-link cable?  Maybe I should try the scrolling feature with my processor and all it's accessories unplugged to see what happens?
