That picture (commonly used in auctions etc.) is not (I believe) an actual photo of the screen, or at least, not actually on the player shown. It's a composite of a player switched off, with a screen-grab placed over the screen area.

For example, just look how small the screen area is, and how far from the edges the extents of the display go, compared to a genuine Mk2 - there'd be no way you'd get top-left cutoff if the screen was really like that.

(For reference, I'm referring to the picture at http://store.sonicblue.com/v2.0-img/operations/diamulti/site/images/RioCar_enlarge.jpg )

Cheers,

A.
