If this is a new receiver, check the firmware. You need to have EC not AE. The symptoms you describe were fixed by the firmware upgrade. You will have to send it to ATS for repair.

At that point I'd suspect the 4DTV unit is malfunctioning, but I don'tknow what you'd do about it other than send it in. Well, if you can lay your hands on another 4DTV unit and plug it into your system, that would pretty much tell the tale, but I know that's not always an easy thing to do. - larryy At 9:28 PM -0500 8/7/06, dbmccarver wrote: >My mistake.
