Re: [slim] SB3 reboot loop -- hardware error?
Funny, one of my SB3's starting doing the same thing this week as well! I changed power supplies, tried ethernet, but still doing the same thing. Still seems to run SuperDateTime without any issues, so that's good. I'll try the xilinx just to see. Wondering what I can do to help prevent the same from happening to my other SB3 Any further trouble-shooting ideas appreciated!

[slim] Cheapest way to fix weak wireless signal?
A friend just bought a DLink WBR 1310 wireless router which is on the second floor, and the WUA 1340 USB Adapter for his PC in the basement. The signal is too weak, and he claims he can't do anything about placement, although I'm going over tomorrow to check it out. His budget is pretty tight - what's generally the cheapest way to extend the wireless? Just by adding another WBR1310 and use it as an access point/repeater?

Re: [slim] Where to buy in Canada
I guess my point was the SB3 is finally available in a mid-fi A/V retail shop with a large presence in Canada (27 stores in 27 cities/towns in Ontario, anyway). It would make sense that they would be setting up some nice demos so people can see what the SB3 (or Transporter in some shops I'll bet) can do, which should facilitate some cross-selling as well. This should begin to provide the kind of market visibility to get SB3 into the mainstream - prepare for the onslaught! And it's true, when all paid for, it would only be a few more $$ than direct-order, and its worth it to me to avoid the hassle of dealing with UPS!

[slim] Where to buy in Canada
Hi fellow Canucks, Since the resellers tab here hasn't been fixed to show any retailers here in Canada yet, I thought I'd let you know that I saw that Audiotronic actually advertised the SB3 in a glossy flyer this week. Of course, their website (www.audiotronic.ca) says no stock, but I'm assuming they do have them in the pipeline if they're in the glossy! At $368.88, it seems a little expensive to me, what with the puny US$ and all, but its almost worth it, considering what a pain it was dealing with UPS. I wonder if audiotronic will be making any efforts to bundle/cross-sell, etc? -- nicketynick Wireless SB3, Denon DRA-F101, Mission M31 loudspeakers WinXP SP2 Slimserver, SMC WBR14g router http://www.last.fm/user/nicketynick/ nicketynick's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1511 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=40499 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Logitech SB3 firmware upgrade fails
This is a new setup procedure to me, but it sounds like the SB3 isn't connected with the wireless? If you leave the ethernet connected, everything works? You've gone through some sort of wireless setup during the process? Can you confirm wireless setup and signal before unplugging the ethernet?

[slim] Sonos getting smarter?
You can now get a $99 ZoneBridge, which is basically the wireless mesh access point; add a ZonePlayer 80 at your stereo ($349), and the fancy remote ($399 - too expensive, I'm sure SD is planning to be better), and you've got the basic system that SB3/SC provides, at a price that puts it much closer to being in a position to take away market share.

Occasionally the SB3 will stall - just doesn't start playing the next
song - it displays the upcoming song, the buffer is full, but the song
doesn't start playing until I press play, at which time it re-buffers
('show buffer fullness' activated) and starts playing. Seems strange
for an emergent problem - probably just need to restart the server?

Hi, Can anybody explain how the SB3 decides what brightness to go to when the sleep timer runs out? Obviously I'd like it dim, but sporadically it shows up as bright. Here's my guess: Setting when on or off: 4 (required to see it during daylight) Setting when idle: 1 Adjust automatically: yes (so should go dim when on or off, if I'm not pressing buttons, right?) Except what I'll do is hit the Brightness button on the remote, instead of something else, which seems to override the above settings. So when I hit the sleep button, once the timer runs out, it goes back to the manual setting I entered. I need to learn to just hit Now Playing or something, don't I? Thanks for enlightening me!

Re: [slim] Moodseer - Another Sonos?
Well, it makes the Sonos look cheap. Fly-by-nighters - say they pocket $4000 per system. All they have to do is sell 1000 units fast, take the $4M, divide it up and close up shop. (hypothetically you get the idea - how can you trust a company whose business model seems to indicate they don't really need to be around for long to recoup their investment) I wish I didn't have a conscience. -- nicketynick Wireless SB3, Denon DRA-F101, Mission M31 loudspeakers WinXP SP2 Slimserver, SMC WBR14g router http://www.last.fm/user/nicketynick/ nicketynick's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1511 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34200 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

DIY - heck, that's product development! All that's left to do is marketing. -- nicketynick Wireless SB3, Denon DRA-F101, Mission M31 loudspeakers WinXP SP2 Slimserver, SMC WBR14g router http://www.last.fm/user/nicketynick/ nicketynick's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1511 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34200 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] EMI goes DRM-free?
amcluesent;192160 Wrote: Did anyone hear EMI say they there were re-ripping to 256, not just transcoding from the 128 library and increasing the bit-rate on the files? ;-) Huh, that's a good question... They wouldn't be that stupid, would they? Quite possibly, - they might be afraid that their customers find 256 doesn't sound right, so they had better stick with something that sounds like 128 -- nicketynick Wireless SB3, Denon DRA-F101, Mission M31 loudspeakers WinXP SP2 Slimserver, SMC WBR14g router http://www.last.fm/user/nicketynick/ nicketynick's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1511 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34128 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
