Ulead DVD Picture Show slide show CDs

'Manufacturer Setting - region code xx'
where region code xx is that which was selected

Wish List for Next Firmware

In addition to fixing the bugs listed above we would like the following added

(The CH302 should also be brought into line)

Remaining countdown time (disk/track/song whatever) either on screen or LCD or both

Settable Screen Saver time (With option of disabling it)

Auto standby after pre-determined idleness (Again with option of disabling it)

Adjustable Volume Control using Up/Down arrows while video is playing for Instance

ID3 filename support for MP3

Picture centering function using arrow keys.

Audio Channel Test

Layer Change Test

Some Players give a menu similar to the 10.01 MP3 player for MPG or JPG's just stored in the root of a CD
so a similar menu would be nice

A method of reprogramming Splash screen independantly of actual firmware program version

Possibly a way of altering brightness/contrast/saturation/hue/colour whatever to our personal tastes.

A method of changing brightness of flourescent display

Firmware upgrade procedure should give some sort of progress indication
either on the display or on the Flourescent Display
i.e. a number counting upwards/downwards
or an upgrade complete message perhaps or both.

Again thanks to all those that have contributed to this list.
