New in v450: enable empeg to be used for digital playback (mp3, ogg, wav, ..) even when the cs4231a chip is dead.


Can someone explain in English what this feature is?


Sure. A modestly common hardware failure in the Empeg/RioCar units, is for a big chip called the cs4231a to die (permanently stops functioning). This is extremely difficult to fix, and when attempted has a less than 50% success rate.

Usually, the death of that chip means the end of the player, or expensive repairs.

Hijack v450 simply tries to allow the player to continue functioning even with that dead chip, at least for the stuff that doesn't actually use the chip. This only works when the dead chip isn't interfering with other hardware.

Cheers
