Re: Error 0000

We still have a DP-Lite & P2 on the wired network. They meet or needs so in no hurry to replace them.
I have a S1 which was working when it was put in mothballs.
I not long ago got an as new br 02 remote from Mark for $30. I was then game to pull mine apart so now have a back up.

Re: I want to buy a DP-P2 remote control

I was in the same boat. viewtopic.php?f=17&t=12224

I got one from Mark at http://decisivecomputersolutions.com.au/contact.html.

I have taken the old one apart and cleaned the contacts and got it back to working so will keep it as a backup.
