[LRflex] Motor drive problem

Hello,
 
I have an issue with my newly acquired motor-drive. 
 
When I insert a new film and closes the backdoor, it will keep clicking and 
winding film, but the film counter wil not increment past 00 and so in the end 
the release button will stay limp. I didn't get the manual with my motor-drive, 
so am I doing something wrong here? Everything else works brilliantly.
 
Regards,
Tim

        I have seen digi output directed to a large LCD screen (not plasma), 
but shadow detail suffered.
        
        You can do that yourself. Take your digi-card or DVD to your local Mega 
electronics store
        and have it displayed on an LCD or Plasma screen. Let us know what you 
think about it.
        
        I think that computer monitors have a finer definition than TV Hi-Def 
screens. IMBW.

The computer and Tv are very quickly joining forces. What I'm curious is 
instead of projecting from your computer to digital projector, what would the 
results be if output were directed to a high def plasma screen TV?
