Anybody using Sony's Digital Paper for sheet music?
I would like to ask those who use DPT-RP1 or DPT-CP1 to read sheet music:
Could anybody with new firmware released on May 30th 2018 confirm please if you can (or cannot) connect the Bluetooth page turner / foot pedal to turn pages. Firmware release note does not mention Bluetooth connectivity between Sony's Digital Paper and wireless page turners. |

Moreover, the firmware upgrade seems to have bricked my RP1 after two days. [Edit. Looks like a freeze and hard crash, requiring reset through the pin hole, which is near the power button. All recent annotations were lost.] Last edited by NNN; 07-03-2018 at 01:38 PM. |

The mobile app only sends PDF files between the phone and the Sony. It's also a pain to use, does not support Bluetooth, and involves many steps for each session.

If you listen to techblogwriter podcast episode 277 from June 13th 2017 at 18:32-19:35min you can hear Daniel Albohn from Sony US talking about importance to enable Bluetooth connectivity between Sony’s Digital Paper and wireless page turners for musicians: After the whole year you will hear same person Daniel Albohn talking about the same matter at the podcast episode 538 from May 31th 2018 at 21:11-21:46min: It looks like Sony's US Digital Paper team has zero influence over Japanese management. |

Thanks for your research. Appears Sony's marketing strategy is to avoid comprehensive review and ignore customers' direct questions on its support page (e.g., "What is your timeline for fixing/adding X so I can use the product as advertised?").

Well, to be be fair, I doubt that the marketing and customer service people at Sony know more than we do. And after the loooooong time it took to get a “jump to page” function, I wouldn’t hold my breath for further software improvements
