Thanks, Spannersatcx.
I agree it old and slow but adequate for my low expectations.
I searched on the Panasonic UK technical support website and found a bios upgrade and a cmos fix that has speeded everything up no end. You may want to try that yourself.
When you get rid of your CF-25, I'd be prepared to give it a good home! (Sorry to be cheeky but I wouldn't want it to hit the bottom of skip)
