Hi

I have the 18 bit dsp5000 fronts, 24bit upgraded 5000c, 565Z3 processor, 562V and 500cd.

We have frequent powercuts here and usually when I first listen after a powercut, the centre speakers sounds wobbly / sounds like its through water!! and often crackles.

Turning everything off and back on again gradually has always cured the problem, until now.

Whatever sequence I use to power up now, the centre sounds awful.

However, if set to the 565 DSP setting of 'Direct', (i.e. the centre is not used), it sounds OK. Any DSP mode using the centre sounds bad.

So its either the centre or the centre output of the 565.

Has anyone else here had similar? And of so, whats the cure?

The only other 'symptom' which may not be connected, is the comms side of things can be a bit hit and miss occassionally. The volume settings of the processor sometimes doesnt keep up with the speakers from the MSR for example.
