Hi Jamie 

As I thought.  I've looked at the version number and I'm currently running 
v2.00eng.  Can you please remind me where I can get the latest version and I 
seem to remember something about burning an image from the download onto CD 
then placing it into the unit and waiting.  Is that about right?

Kind regards ... Scott

  Scott,

  I'm afraid that nothing in particular jumps out at me though it does sound a 
bit like there has been some kind of corruption of your firmware.  I had 
thought that it might have been a sticking key or something like that but it 
doesn't sound like it from your additional information.

  The only thing that I can suggest that may be worth trying is to re-install 
your firmware to the most recent version (i.e. 2.01 ENG).

  I've no idea if this will help but it doesn't take long and has to be worth a 
try anyway.

  Cheers,

  Jamie

  Hi Jamie 

  It has happened so far on my 5gb microdisk and on a flash card.  The goTo 
heading function doesn't appear to be working at all.

  When I press the heading key and then enter to go to the beginning of the 
file, it makes the completed sound and when I press play, I'm in the same place 
as I was before trying to go back to the beginning.  

  Similarly, when I press a heading number and enter, it just stays where it 
is.  When recording I am able to insert headings and can move to them by using 
the 4 and 6 keys back and forth.  The problem appears to be confined to being 
able to navigate using the heading key function.  

  If you can cast any light on this I'd be most grateful.

  Kind regards ... Scott

    Scott,

    Can you be a wee bit more specific about where you are taken when you press 
this key combination.  Also does this happen with all discs or just with one 
specific disc?

    Hello list

    My PTR1 seems to have developed some quirks.  For instance, When I press 
goTo heading and enter, I get the finish sound and I am not taken to the 
beginning of the file.  

    Also, I, for the life of me, can't find a menu option to create a new 
title.  It's been a while since I have used the PTR1, but I'm sure there should 
be a menu item to create a new Daisy title somewhere in the menu system.  

    I think it's got a bit confused, bless it, so does anyone know if there is 
a way to initialise the unit?  I've removed the battery and put it back, but to 
no avail, I'm afraid.  

    Many thanks ... Scott
