I've noticed on two occasions recently that whilst playing blu-rays with the displays dimmed, a single LED in the master 8k flashes briefly. I've not noticed this with either CD or streaming input which bypasses the 861.
I noted that this also happened last year a couple of times too. Initially, I put it down to temperature but apparently that creates a green light as a warning the speaker could be overheating.
I seem to remember that a speaker could be clipping on high frequency sounds but as it is digital that does not make sense. There is no mention in troubleshooting to explain this behaviour. Any thoughts of what may be causing the flashing?
Thanks

Hi Ian,
What colour is the light, and where is it located?
Each light has a specific meaning, and knowing which one is flickering will help diagnose the issue.
Cheers,
Steve

Hi Steve, it looks like it is orange and is the same size as the green standby light and in the main dot-matrix display. Not one of the rectangular lights. It is a flash rather than a flickering.

Hi Ian,
It's probably the digital 'clipping' light (which should be yellow).
This can occur when the recording engineer has exceeded 0dB within the digital domain.
If it only happens on certain tracks, then it's probably nothing to worry about.
Hope that helps.
Cheers,
Steve
