Thanks again Gonk,
It was a loose NUT on the remote.
All is now well, except my wife wants a nice big TV/display, and since we don't have DVI or even Component drive to our present TV, I guess I'll just have to be a good guy and get her a fancy big'n.
By the way, after work, Scott called from his house, and reminded me that the S-Video is Inop with Component video function. Duh, now I remember seeing it in the manual.
I'm truly impressed by Outlaw' (Scott's) dedication & service. What a refreshing experience.
Best regards to you, & Scott, and all the other helpful outlaws who ride these trails.
Frank
