If you unplug the phono cable from the Flex and short the tip to sleeve, does the amp key? Are you using DDUtil and AutoDrive by chance? Dave wo2x

I would also recommend opening a Help Desk ticket to get that process started. Dave wo2x

You need to turn off cat/aux in the 600s - that should get you going. This is available through the 600S menu. The manual should be helpful here.

Well, I tried to help and got myself in trouble instead.
As I said earlier you need to have cat/aux turned off for the 600s to automatically change bands.
The problem is that I tried to demonstrate this and in the process I managed to turn it back on and can't for the life of me can't remember how turn the cat/aux off in the 600S menu.
HELP!!!
