I'm afraid you don't have the InstantON feature on your AR-Series.<BR /><BR />In Europe, only the CR-Series and the TZ-Series have this InstantON feature that can be used without booting into Windows. In the USA the FZ-Series also has it but not in Europe.<BR /><BR />The AV Mode only allows you to pre-select a player from within Windows for displaying media - worse than useless!!<BR /><BR /> <img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://community.sony.co.uk/html/@8A5BDCECEE2E5AB683F2BDAA500F2036/images/smilies/035.png" alt=":slight_frown:" title=":slight_frown:" /><BR /><BR />EDIT: Evening Thalamus - too quick for me again!!<BR /><BR /> :smileyblush:<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 23 Jan 2008 23:15:36 GMT https://community.sony.co.uk/t5/pcs-accessories/av-mode-help/m-p/47626#M65238 Blencogo 2008-01-23T23:15:36Z
