I bought the Scan on Friday (1st Decmeber). No problems yet. MP3 playback excellent.
No sign of pixellation, no lip-sync, multi-region works fine (as does RCE).
Can`t disable the macro yet, although Nelley has sent firmware (within one day of asking - this guy really does show customer care, even if his phone lines are a pain in th arse !).
I`m certainly glad I didn`t listen to must of the waffle on this forum.
Thanks Nelley !
