Post by: gazza222 on July 28, 2018, 10:34:12 am

Hi, it's been like this for weeks and now I'm sick of having no music !
RNS 510, 2 red lines, top and bottom of screen, top one says.....THE SYSTEM IS NOT ABLE TO START UP, bottom one says.....PLEASE INSERT SWL-CD.
Does anyone know how/where to get a SWL CD ?
Please help

Use a cd-r. Use a good brand. I stick to Verbatim for this kind of stuff. Burn it to CD, insert cd, enter the recovery mode.
