Cheer for that, as soon I seen the info had an idea it could not be done at the moment.
Probably why he gave it to me.

Thank you

Mike has assured us that all UHD-capable Pioneers will eventually support LibreDrive. However, today is not yet that day...

Hi,
I did see Mike's post after I posted this, however thought it was worth asking. As I mentioned before that's why he probably gave it to me :( .

Let's hope Mike can sort something out.
