Hello to everybody,

As a long time reader this is my first post on this Forum.
I had a lot of good input in planing my 2-channel-system and have to say "thank you for that"!

I�m using a C15 + MS600 (analog Output) and I am very happy with handling and Sound Quality (at the moment wink ).

However, one day my first C15 unit showed funny Screen effects: black Areas of the Screen showed vertical green lines from the top to the bottom of the Screen.
These lines appeared in the overview Screen (in dark aras of cover Images) and also in the black area of the Screensaver.
The effect was not easy to reproduce - it appeared without a clear reason and resolved sometimes later.

The unit was sent to my local dealer and I think he sent it to Meridian, too. They did some "changes" but they showed no effect for me.
After receiving the unit back the Problem came up again.

To finish the Long Story: I sent the unit back again and they changed it ro a new C15, transfered my Music to it and: I was told that the error occurs again!!!
I was told that it must be an issue with my cover art!
The images shall be too large. I ripped all my CD�s with dBpa and selected images from the Internet not larger than 1000x1000 Pixels.

I was quite speachless and have to work on that Problem again.

I hope to find some information on the following topics:
a) Is there an official limitation in cover art size for Sooloos C15 from Meridian (Pixel Count)?
b) Is there a Limitation in colour depth for JPGs of cover art?
c) Has anybody else experienced this kind of error?

I think during ripping my CDs with dBpa I chose cover art and just added it to the program - so there might be more than 1 Picture per CD... I�m just guessing if that may be the Problem.
I am really confused at the Moment because for me it seemed to be a clear Hardware issue.

I will try to post some photos of the Screen to demonstrate the Problem.

I hope you can give me some tips in solving the Problem - and I also hope you can excuse my poor )

Thanks so far.
