Hi berkyj,

I see you have read my previous post on this so I would
suggest you have a good look at the 640H set up again as jb
seemed to get his to work OK.

If you follow *all* the tips I have already said and it
still wont work please get back to us here with some
specific questions.

Cheers TT

along with a

player).

on the
