Audio Aero Capitole MKII


I finally got around to installing the new chip. First, I want to say that my unit came with the P2 chip installed and I had no problems with it. The P4 changes some of the functionality and adds some new features. All of which I find quite useful. No effect on the audio, it's as good as it gets. There may be other enhancements that I haven't found yet but these are what I've observed:
- Pressing "standby" on the remote takes the unit OUT of standby mode as well as putting it into standby. It now toggles
- Pressing and holding the "stop" button on the front panel puts the unit into standby
- Pressing and holding the front panel "play" button takes the unit out of standby
- Press any of the volume "up/down" buttons, remote or front panel, changes the display screen and you now see the volume "bars" as well as the volume level in dB.

While none of these changes in and of themselves amount to a whole lot, I do find that it makes using the MKII all the more nicer.

If anyone is interested in some tips on swapping the chip I'd be glad to tell my experience and how to.

Thanks for the great instructions !.. worked like a charm.. I initially thought I was replacing a P2 chip with a P4, but I received a 3.1 ?.. has all the features listed.. maybe a minor difference.. I also want to add that I had no issues witht he P2 chip installed..

thanks again...Matt
