Re: PR REMstar question

my understanding is that if you have a FF mask selected on a Resmed machine then auto on won't work I have no mask selection on my PR1 -- auto on should work with a FFM with the trick however I have only used a FFM one night with this machine the trick I mentioned above in my other post worked fine ...
