Hi Stan
Man are you helpful. Yes, the HOME I was referring to is the first screen that usually comes up on both of the players. I am still having trouble getting a screen shot but my flow chart is exactly as you have it in your screen shot. Even to the blue arrow. The "secret" is not to hit the PLAY button. The menu came up and play started as soon as I hit the "execute" button with no problem. I also now see
that the "dolby print that appeared on the first scene" is because the sequence starts with a black scene and when running sequence without black scene first, there is not dolby print. You were correct that what I was seeing was the BR player signs for invalid remote function. You solved the problem for me. Thanks for all your help.
