Thanks for the suggestion Gennady. It does strike me that I shouldn't have to be messing around with this stuff on a player that isn't from the bargain basement. Also, what bothers me is that initially the transports have been silent, which indicates to me that something in the transport is either broken or out of alignment or just worn. Again, I don't think this should happen in this player. At this point I'm looking at possibly moving out of Meridian because of this. Time will tell.

Cheers,

Craig.
