Audio Aero Capitole MK II: Performance & Problems

For what its worth, Daryl is in Austin, TX and operates a company called Digital Systems. I've spoken with him over the phone and he's a great guy to work with. Very helpful and knowledgeable about the AA Cap MKII.

My Capitole (P2 chip, after 3 months use, has started its quirks and occasionally misreads the disc. At other times, it refuses to play, with the timer standing still at 00.
I talked to Audio Aero and was informed that the P2 chip may contain some software problem. They are sending me a free software upgrade; I believe it's the P4. I'm not in the US!
Anyone with the P3 or P4 chip encountered any problems?
thanks

Hi Lall
I think I have either P2 or P3, never had any problems, Im just curious, Mejames mentions a way to adjust the balance..how is that done ?

thanks

Matt

Hi Matt
With my CDP, balance adjustment is easy: keep pressing one of the four buttons on the left side of the player (do not release) until you hear a click sound. Release the button and press again, stepwise now, until you see the balance function. Adjust according to requirement. This can also be done from the remote control.
Matt, send me an e-mail if you need further detail.
I don't know if it's same with the P3 or P4 chip. Should be!

Lall,

I have the P3 chip and I have only one problem remaining. The "time remaining" display (on track or disc) will switch the ":" between minutes and seconds to a random numeral. When last I spoke with Jody from Globe Audio he informed me that this anomaly should be fixed with the P4 chip. P3 chip is fine for everything else.
