Vestax VCI-300 recall

While looking on one of my dutch DJ resources(aboutdj.nl), I read the following:

Vestax VCI-300 recall

It has been discovered that the controls of some VCI-300 units may possibly freeze(disable) during operation with ITCH under several circumstances. If you are a owner of a Vestax VCI-300 and have experienced this error, please contact your local Vestax distributor for assistance.(The errror can be checked by rotating the right (Bch) jog wheel when in use with ITCH)

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you.

Error content
The controls of the VCI-300 freezes(is disabled) during operation with ITCH when the right JOG wheel is operated.

It’s probably Europe only, but I thought I’d just post it in here!

Trust Vestax to skrew up the firmware… again !

Looks like they didnt learn from the VCI-100 and make the firmware updatable over usb too

In their defense though, atleast they are open about the problem and have it fixed.

One of these days Vestax will learn from these mistakes… i hope :\
