George,
A simple blend of ignorance and stubborness!!
However I have noticed the firmware is 2.0, I am sure on Meridian info, or perhaps here the firmware stated was 1.xx.
It has been back to Meridian at some point in its life, as it has an MC input and the onboard DAC, so perhaps 2.0 is a bizarre Beta release that it happened to receive as they were developing the 562v2?
While I have your attention is there any info on the runes dispalyed on the front panel for mapping inputs, eg when in config, you select your source, and I recall copy to change the input, except I would expect to see a1, a2, d1, d2, 01, 02 etc, for analogue, digital, and optical inputs, but it doesnt seen to be the case.
Thanks
S
