  1. I don't understand this device.
    The jacks are facing the player and the buttons facing away.
    Seems very hard to work that way.
    I'll need to think of a solution to this before I can consider buying one.

  2. Don't dispair!
    I had the same problem when I first got mine.

    But I helped myself overcome this horrible 808 design flaw.
    I took a photo of the machine, then used photoshop to flip it around 180 degrees, printed it out and put it on my wall in back of my 808 for reference.
    Now I just look up to see what the controls are.

    You see? It takes brains to make it in todays world of electronica.
