Hi Spinaltap,

That could be a sensible move. The decline has been fairly rapid now with no centre channel, discs not loading etc.(also a few other things for example no sound from calibration page for speakers) This rather backs up Des Fords comments that there may be other problems than just the ROM.

Having researched the Arcam you suggested and hearing glowing comments from a few dealers I've spoken to I am going with that. It does seem remarkable value and I have no interest in 4K etc.

One word of caution -- these units seem to be going quickly and although easy to find at the moment I suspect that will not last.

Many thanks for the heads up on the Arcam.

Best
Cairo
