This is found in the Edit Movie Information panel when you select a movie then press Edit. The Changer Location for each movie should be a numbered from 1 to 400 and coincide with it's slot in the changer itself. |

| If you are having problems or the changer is not responding, check the syntax and the MLServeCmd Event Log to see what information is being passed to MLServer. Double check the Com Port connections and the port configuration within the plug-in to make sure they match. You must use a "Null" modem cable. |
