It is not possible from germany. :( The german Sony-center is too ignorant to provide that kind of service/ support. 2 x :( >That might explain `DC Disable'. I'm tempted to think `Data Compression >Disable'. Me too, but then why is it listed under the category "Terminators" ??? >`Terminator Power' selects the source of terminator power; it >should be set to come from the SCSI Bus. The labels for open/close-position of this jumper are "provided" and "Not provided". What should i choose ? (Ok ok ... answer it anyway please, since i want to be sure, other people understand it the same way i do). Why should it be set to "come from the SCSI Bus" ??? Why not set it to "get power for active termination on its own and not supply it to the SCSI Bus" ? Thanks for your help.
