Re: [Audyssey] smugglers 4 accessibility
Fair enough. I must admit on the occasions I've tried jaws I've never personally been a fan, but I won't start one of those arguements sinse they tend to be circular and overheated. stil, hal 7 or later should work without a problem provided you know what your doing with the virtual focus. 6 might, but is likely to have some issues, but any version under 6 probably won't be much good.
