Placing the 530 on the bottom shelf with nothing hot below it is good, the 6" space above it is good, and room temp controlled at 23c is good. The good probably offsets the placement in a closed cabinet.rlb said:

How can one blame the user for an instrument that has been so problematic since its inception. Since downloading CC my 530 has frozen up twice and the only thing we were doing was watching live tv. All we did was to try to change the channel. Each time we ended up with a broken recording.HammerJoe said:CC is the most stable version so far.
It's not perfect yet, but if someone still continues to have so many problems I have to shift the blame to the user as well.
I believe that the machine under normal situations works reasonably well.
Myself I have a few small issues, but in no way hinder the usage of the machine. I have had a couple random lockups. No big deal imo.
I can live with a lockup once a week.
With CC I have to put some balme to the users and their set up.
To put it mildly this machine does not like heat.
I think turing the fan off was a bad idea, at least we should have an option to turn it on.
The noise only bothered a few people anyway.
As I was saying the machione does not like heat and if it is warm/hot in the room, the machine starts behaving oddly.
I've noticed it the other day when it was really hot in the room.
For people that have constant lockups, please move the machine to a more open space, or better try having a fan blowing air to it for a couple days and see if the problems persist.
I can almost guarantee the machine will become much more pleasant to use.

A little bit upset with DHC!
I remember receiving this "personal" invitation and was specifically asked by DHC not to respond to the invitation and that the invitee was no way affiliated with DHC! Out of respect for DHC I did what DHC asked me to do ... and now you are telling me that I missed out on this offer!
While I appreciate DHC's position on this matter - I consider myself one of the first, amongst the few, to purchase a 530, passed comment on its features and WOULD have responded to the invitation if I felt for one second that it was legitimate.
That being said - I was also one of the subsribers stuck with A8, not BC, until CC arrived and would not trade my 530 for anything.
Just had to VENT - sorry guys!

Well since the word is out.... as one of the "Beta" testers for the last 3+ versions, 00.CC is far the best one yet,as most of us are aware,not 100% perfect but if the 530 came out with CC in its inception I believe 99.9% of us would have been happy campers & would not have to look to a site like DHC for any kind of help. I for one am very pleased with the way *C has handled the "updates" maybe not the "unveiling" of the 530...but we were all crying for it so they gave it to us...good for *C.
As far as the software updates ,I for one was against early release to the "masses" because ,it was that Motorola would test new version for a small period of time , then Moto. & *C would test for a time, then it would release to the rest of the Beta testers. We would only test for the max of a week, I mentioned to them that I felt this was "too short" a period of time as I found "bugs" were coming out 7+ days after new software was downloaded. This time we were allowed 3 full weeks of testing, & except for the testing period where I was "trying" to lockup the unit where I had 3 or less lockups during that period...its been almost a full month with NO lockups what so ever, whereas with previous versions my tripcount would not get past 6-8 at the most, with 5-10 reboots a week, now trip count @ 20 & no reboots. So my theory is use it as intended,don't push it...its gonna be fine...bbas
