Hi Mike:
Interesting. My experience is completely the opposite. I can at least copy
and paste to my VRS from my macbook pro. But, I can't get it to work with the

But, it's worked ever si nce.

The nice thing about a Victor Stream is that you can carry your entire audio

I have no problems connecting the victor, but, it's much easier and faster to
