  1. I changed my wifi router and have been unable to now have the HDD App control the HAPZ1ES. I’ve tried entering wifi settings manually but that doesn’t work. Help!
  2. Can you elaborate in this- purchasing and installing, please
  3. Thanks Richard. The line doesn’t really bother me, I’m just wondering if it’s a sign of a future bigger failure
  4. My unit has developed the ‘white line’ issue. While it is fixable by Sony, I’d rather not take it out of my system and then have the added worry of shipping. Is there any correlation between the white line and failure of the unit itself?
  5. Have had my HAP Z1ES for 3 years now and a week ago the dreaded white line appeared. I've been unsuccessful tracing back the discussion on this but have only one question- the line while mildly irritating is fine to leave for me so long as it is not an indication of some other pending failure. I have a bigger fear of disconnecting and shipping it for repair. A valid assumption? Thanks
  6. My problem was having loaded my 32,000 files to the internal and an added external HD I ended up with album artwork appearing but never in the 'now playing' window. Thanks to Johann's suggestion I did split my files and loaded about 19,000 to the internal and now have everything running perfectly. Now am in the process of adding the leftover files. the main point here is that it does seem that exceeding Sony's limitation to 20,000 files does make the loading process unstable. This is a great forum with great input from its members. Thank you all!
  7. Further to the above, yes my Swiss friend(?) was right. Missing cover art when playing was partially restored after a rescan. Johann suspect was correct that things get unstable once we get over 20,000 files. My question is can I simply drag and drop files from the internal drive to the attached external to get below 20,000 and then do a rescan?
  8. Johann's suggestion tO do a rescan was helpful- it did result in now seeing more but sadly only a handful. This is no reflection on Johann, but perhaps on Sony who has been totally ineffective in tech supporting this problem. i cut and pasted a 'reset' option above and wonder if anyone has any input into me trying this next? and sorry Johann, our Canadian Juniors won the Gold...
  9. Thanks Johann my Swiss friend (too bad about that hockey game last week, eh?!)(I have family in Aeschi and love to tease them as well re hockey- they all seem to be Sundin fans too!). am trying a rescan tonight as per your suggestion.
  10. Thanks. But the artwork fails to appear on everything- ipad/iPhone app as well as the front panel display of the Z1. It was suggested (above- sorry, I'd like to thank that person but will lose all my typing here if I leave this screen on iPad) that I do a rescan which I will do tonight. If that fails I tripped across this in the Sony troubleshoot section and would appreciate feedback from anyone who has an opinion about doing this next step- [h=2]Using the Clear Database function or the Reset to Default Settings function (Special Mode) If a problem with the HDD AUDIO PLAYER cannot be solved using the troubleshooting instructions, you can perform the [special Mode] function.[/h] During standby mode, press while pressing HOME.The Special Mode screen appears. Select [Clear Database] or [Reset to Default Settings].After [Clear Database] or [Reset to Default Settings] is completed, restart the HDD AUDIO PLAYER according to the instructions that appear in the display. [h=4]Details of displayed items[/h]Clear Database:This function clears the registered information but does not format the hard disk drive. After the database is cleared, rescan the hard disk drive. Although the hard disk drive may seem to be empty after the database is cleared, the content (music data) still remains on the hard disk drive. Rescan the hard disk drive to restore and display the content information.Reset to Default Settings:This function resets all the settings and restores the factory default settings.Restart:This function exits the Special Mode and restarts the HDD AUDIO PLAYER.Thanks everyone!
  11. I have a seemingly unique problem that I have not seen anywhere here as of yet. with about 25,000 files all my album art appears in all lists but does not appear in the 'now playing' window! This problem doesn't appear to be unique to my collection as the same thing happens with the Sony's radio station icons- they appear in list form but not in the playing window. Tech support seems sympathetic as they do call occasionally but ineffective with a solution. any ideas?
