The playback volume is primarily controlled by the Media Player program (MPLAYER.EXE) supplied with Windows.
If you turn the volume off here, then the remote control volume will have no effect! If you are using a sound board which has a seperate volume control, make sure that this is not muted or turned down! If it is, the MediaStation will not playback with sound. To change the Media Player settings it is necessary to close the MediaStation remote control first!
The speed of film files is fixed and can only be reduced to step mode (the snail button on the control). Changes to the Windows Media Player have no effect.
