Obviously it only has draw open and play buttons on the front. If you put a cd in the track indicator comes on for about 5 seconds then goes out. It doesn&#39;t highlight any tracks and won&#39;t play cd&#39;s. </p><p>I am assuming that it should play as a standalone. I haven&#39;t got a 7pin data lead yet but assume it would work with a 5 pin din ( without data control) but it doesn&#39;t.</p><p>Can someone confirm that it will play disc&#39;s without being connected to the beomaster via the datalink cable.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Thanks</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Steve <br /></p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
