Do other people experience these same results with the different startup permutations?



I think Empeg has trained me, yes I have found this out as well. You pretty much summed it up the sequences. I now plug in the Empeg then start Emplode, but it didn't take long to realize what I had to do.

I'm looking at the manual now and on page 14 it does say "you must connect your player to computer and switch it on.......then load the emplode program."
