What would you like to see on the next firmware upgrade for the SC-2000 scan player ?

True Random play shuffle mode....

MPEG4 play back supported... (High hopes Ha Ha)

Bug fixes acknowledged in firmware upgrades.

A more stable firmware upgrade routine , including a standard informative on-screen feed back validating the sucess of the upgrade.
(Not just the tray spitting out the Disc)

Anybody else with some (I`d like to see) requests.
Tea maker, and free toaster maybe ?

Here goes:

1. Facility to upload images for screensaver and background images during mp3 file display.
2. mp3 file list options, i.e. alphabetic, size or date listing.
3. mp3 IDtag or filename display option.
4. mp3 playback to default to Repeat All.
5. Better firmware upgrade progress display and successful upgrade notification.
6. Diagnostic display routines to aid diagnosing suspected issues.

Other than that, the SC-2000 is perfect. These are not problems in any way - just wish list items for an already superb product.

Some sort of validation of the firmware upgrade CD.

ie The player checks the entire file to make sure it is a valid upgrade and does a test upgrade, displays results and then asks if you want to upgrade it for real.

My first Scan died after applying a firmware upgrade.

More info on-screen during the update would be useful too.

The ability to play my R2 Disney DVD`s (which played perfectly well on the unit I swapped out last Friday !).

The ability to lock the front panel of the unit when it is switched off ! (This feature is currently useless because the front panel lock is cancelled when the unit is switched to standby - the very time you want to make it child tamper proof !!)

A couple more things to go on the wish list:

1. A fast forward and reverse for mp3 track currently playing.
2. A previous and next "page" to display the previous or next screen of mp3 files names. It can be difficult to navigate with a large (say 150) number of mp3 tracks.
