The yellow light will flash because it's waiting for a show to start.Is the show on the SD card scheduled right? that is probably the million dollar questiondoes that have to be scheduled manually any other way than via the easy show builder My experience with the SSB is pretty much null. I always use the hardware utility and then I know it will be right when finished.Answers are in red above.One other thing, what selection is the dial pointing to on the mp3 card?

chewinggum2 Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 I'm not sure by your reply but...the sequences do not run automatically when power is applied UNLESS you have set the time on your data card. The show will only turn on at the time you have set on the showbuilder for each day of the week. In addition to putting your songs on the data card, did you also set the days and time for your show to come on?robin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farcanal Posted October 13, 2009 Author Share Posted October 13, 2009 Thanks everyone who tried to help its still not working its either card issues or the player to be honest I have lost interest in the player and will arrange to send it back the shows run perfectly on my PC so it tends to indicate the components are faultyshame but thats life cheers davo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Barnett Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Hi davo. apologies if I missed it. But, have you tried setting up your show through the LOR MP3, on the Hardware Utility.I tried the SSB last year, didn't work too well. When I set my show up via the LOR MP3 Tab on the Hardware Utility, it worked like a champ.Just remember, when setting up multiple shows, you can utilize 9. If running a different show each nice..ie different sequences/music; if the shows are set to start at the same time, it will only play the lowest show.Example; last year on my Halloween show, I had set "Halloween Theme" to play from 7-9, with some filler in between. Tues. I had 2 diff. sequnces/music to play; I set this up as show 2. But I also set the time again for Tues, to run from 7-9.Yep you guessed it. Folks got to see "Halloween Theme" till wed. when i returned from my flight schedule.It would just play Show #1 because 1 nad 2 were set for the same time.BIG GOTCHA!!! if you don't catch it. Hopefully staggering the shows by a minute will fix the problem this year.Hope this info. may help you.Good Luck!DavidEDIT: sorry Davo, missed you had said tried to load from Hardware Util.Have you tried formatting the SD card. make sure everything is clear.Also, I could be mistaken; but I think it has to be in FAT32 format..not NTFS.Best,David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
