A-Ha! Excellent Kev, thanks for that.
I've got it now. Have you tried it any more?
Cheers.

Hi Steve.
Once you've selected your region as United Kingdom, you should now see a screen
which is your device list.
Double tap on Search for devices and wait for around 30 seconds when you will
get the message that no player could be found.
Double tap on OK.
Now you can flic into the list of devices and you'll see the demo player.
Double tap on the demo player and you'll now be in the set of tabs for the
various player menus including the playback menu and main menu, etc.
Select the relevant tabs in the usual way by double tapping on them and you can
then explore the resulting screens.
Regards.
Kevin

Hi Kevin,
Just a quick one, you mentioned about the demo mode of the app, I can't see
anywhere on there to put it in demo mode? Can you direct me?
Cheers.
Steve

Hi Yusuf.
The manual for the player says there is an audio button on the physical remote
to select a specific language track but I haven't had chance to try this yet or
play with the iPhone app equivalent.
I'll report back as soon as I've had more time to check it out.
Regards.
Kevin
