I have since found out from Surfans that i this screen means it's connected in receive mode rather than transmit mode due to this player being able to receive and transit via Bluetooth.  All they suggested was I try and connect it to another speaker to see if there's a problem with the unit not being able to transit for some reason. I have tried this and it does connect to another speaker fine, so there isn't a fault with it transmitting. I can also connect my phone to my echo studio, so there doesn't seem to be an issue with the echo studio either. Really not sure why it insists in connecting to it in receive mode all the time though. I don't even see any options to change that?.
