Hi everyone, I've done my best to search this thread to find answers to the following questions, but to no avail, so sincere apologies if I missed the answers due to different words being used.
I have a Plenue J and the J thread is absurdly quiet, so I wanted to find out if D users are experiencing similar things to me.
1) It has already been asked (but not successfully answered, so far as I can find) in this thread, how to return the player to the state where it asks the user to choose a region. I am thoroughly annoyed with my J because when I switched it on for the first time, it asked me to choose region, and I set the player down for 90 seconds or so, without pressing anything, and then, suddenly and without warning, it auto-selected English but I didn't see what region it chose. Now, every time I try to raise the volume more than '59', an on-screen message appears that has to be dismissed before it goes any higher. This is extremely annoying, because some tracks are recorded very quietly and therefore need the player to be turned-up louder, but I have to take the damn player out of my pocket in order to dismiss the message! THREFORE, I am assuming the player must have defaulted to European region. Does the Plenue D show this stupid on-screen message, regardless of region, or only European region, or not at all? My old J3 used to permanently cap the volume to 30 (instead of 40) if European region was chosen, and I remember having to re-install firmware in order to be able to re-choose my desired region.
2) I'll ask again what I haven't cannot find successfully answered in this thread: Is there a way to get back to the Region-choice screen, on Plenue DAPs, without re-installing firmware?
3) The J3 has a zoom function for the on-screen text, which lets you permanently (unless/until you decide to alter the setting) set big or small text when scrolling through directories and tracks. This is very useful because it means you can display more tracks on the screen, by setting the text small, and therefore can locate a desired track from a long file-list much more quickly, and with much less scrolling, added to which, long track names are much more readable. On the new Plenue J, I have looked and looked but can't find any way to alter the text size (which is ridiculously big, by default). Is there a trick to doing this on the D / J or have the Cowon firmware development team spent the last 7 years regressing to a kindergarten state of less functionality than the ageing J3?
I am finding the Plenue J firmware very frustrating and absurdly inferior to the J3 firmware.
To rub salt in the wound, some genius decided that the + and - of the track control button should be oriented in the opposite orientation to the + and - of the volume button.
All in all, the Plenue J firmware is an embarrassing step backwards from J3 and there should be red faces of shame at Cowon!!
That means I never surpass the half of it's maximum potential. So I really doubt that the PD does not have the sufficient power to drive the HD25 properly.
