on restart - "info" -> "line" is gone

on restart - "info" -> "line" is gone - 18/06/2002 19:04

i am running 2.00 beta 11 on my player and have noticed that every time I start my car, the info option changes from what I had it on previously. I like "line" or "transient" but after I turn off my car and turn it on again, it goes back to either "track" or "now & next".

Also, sometimes it will boot up but power down after initialization... sometimes....

Tech support told me I may have a faulty drive cable. Are these issues symptoms of the same ailment?

thanks

Willebear, you really need to start checking the FAQ before posting questions. Your info:Line question is covered in a couple of places. Please click here for your answer.

And to answer your other two questions...

When you say "power down" after initialization, do you mean that it goes into standby mode? It will go into standby mode after booting if that's what it was doing the last time you pulled the plug. Details about standby mode are in the FAQ here.

And the symptoms of a faulty drive cable can be found in the FAQ here.

High five to the FAQ master! Someone should create an Empeg jeopardy so Tony can show his FAQ skills!

Hmm, I could add empeg FAQ-related questions to my trivia game that runs on the empeg.. That'd be a bit of a larf...

Sample question:

Q: How can I keep the visuals from disappearing every time I put my Empeg in my car?

a) Beat it repeatedly until it knows who's boss.
b) Install Hijack and use the "Restore Visuals" function.
c) Install an Empeg mod chip, available from www.3mp3gm0dch1pz.com
d) Call Tony Fabris at home and ask him how he does it.

Hmmm... there seems to be a problem with that link -- I get a server not found error. But I think Crutchfield carries them...

d) Call Tony Fabris at home and ask him how he does it.

Aha! I am one of the few human beings in the known universe who actually knows Tony Fabris' home phone number. It's 530-432-[censored]. But maybe I could be bribed into revealing it. Just attach your request to the back of an a/d/s P850.2 amplifier, and I'll see what I can do.

Hmmm, I think I have his cell phone number somewhere from when we met up with Hugo a couple years back. Wonder what that would be worth ;-)

Nothing, that was my wife's cell phone, and I'm pretty sure it's not valid any more (she changed providers).

Nothing

Damn, there goes my hopes for an early retirement ;-)
