Hi,
Can I assume that I have the only jukebox that will dim the backlight?

Take Care,

>>I think the dimming is pretty cool, I just can't figure out why if appears to get yellow and
>>I can't quite figure out what determines whether it dims or just goes off.

>>Does anyone else's AJBR do this? Does anyone have any ideas?
