NW-A800 Library Simple/Advanced mode?

[shirleywhite_]

Hi all.

I've just bought a second 808 (!). The plan is to keep mostly music on one - mainly videos on the second. I've updated the firmware on the new one to 1.02 like the first. But just noticed a small difference. Under settings/common/unit info there's "library" - on my older one it says "simple mode" but on the new one it says "advance mode". I thought that both units would be identical ? Anyone know what this means? Is it an (obscure) setting I've missed? ( I vaguely remember reading somewhere that it relates to the usb connection but not sure in what respect)?!

Thanks.

That is an interesting situation. The library function is set within SonicStage. By default the player is set to "Simple Mode". This does not deal with the USB mode, but with some additional feature that you get in "Advance Mode". It can be suspected that the transfer rates would be slower in "Advanced Mode".

Thanks for the reply. I remember now that there's a "sonicstage" setting!!! I'm at work now (with my new 808) and havent got SS here. So was initially thinking it was a player setting!! I've just used my work computer to update the firmware - but when I get home i'll be hooking up to my Sonic Stage etc

Thanks again.
