I'm sure its the digital input because I took my RP-91 out there (the Outlaw is my Father's), and swapping coax cables didn't work, but the optical from my player did. I just got off the phone with the outlaws, and
they brought up trying a different input with the coax....but I haven't tried that yet. They also report a 5/26/02 sale date, so I'm a few month out of warranty anyhow. But they are showing interest in figuring out whats going on.

Too bad I didn't see about the digital conversion box, that would have been cheaper than the new DVD player we wound up buying. Plus I am just about to make a partsexpress order too. Drat! Though it wasn't a total loss, as he now has SACD too. But he's the one answering to Mom about spending the money on new toys. *hahahaha*

Thanks for the replies!
