The 9600, in Network mode, will connect to the MX752 just fine. You did not waste half a day. However, once you do connect, all you can access is Music and Movies, not Internet Radio. For iRadio, you will require EscientPronto or simply use IR or 1-way RS-232. For more information on 1-way, see Escient's website. To figure out how to use 2-way with built-in modules, see Escient website.

For 2-Way with plus IRadio and the User-Interface skins available on the Escient directly available on your Pronto, see the link in my signature.
