the code to 255 using right Arrow.
That was contributed by Coby tech support, so top marks for the company there.
The sound is very good, loud and clear. It also has two headphone jacks, which is good if you have friends.

The Fimbles are Fimbo, Florrie and Baby Pom, who all live in a lovely, colourful place called Fimble Valley. The Fimbles are cuddly hippo like creatures each with lovely colourful ?skins?. Other characters in this programme include a blue tree frog called Rockit and a mole called Roly Mo, a pink bird called Bessie and her chick Ribble.
