Well, my 950 finally gave up the ghost. I will medivac it to the Outlaws on Monday to see if the surgeons can do anything to save it.

A couple days ago the audio repeatedly reset at random times like it was just acquiring an audio signal. Then the sound would drop out for various periods of time and I would get periods of mild static sound. Then video (via the S video)would go wonkey (looked like an old fashioned analog scrambled cable signal). Then yesterday the display would get brighter & dimmer after turning the unit on. Last night I had to try 6 or 8 times to get it to power up. The display would briefly light then fade out and even the standby LED was off. Now the unit is totally dead. I've tried unplugging & plugging back in the unit but I think it's in a coma.

I've gone back to primative audio and am using the speakers on my TV. How did the cavemen survive without 1'400 watts of surround sound???

- Hopefully the Outlaw ER can save it...

The same exact thing just happened to my 950. Did you ever find the problem and/or how to fix it?

I am having a couple ongoing issues with my 950 and I'm going through testing all the inputs. I have my DVD player hooked up to the 5.1 input jacks (front L, R; Surround L, R; center; sub).

How do I configure the 950 to use this input? I cannot get it to work and want to make sure I'm not doing something stupid.

Push the "6CH" button on the 950's remote to enable the 5.1 analog input.

Dane,

My 950 died a fews days ago too. Eight years of solid performance. Then one day I decided to upgrade my speakers and not a peep out them.

Any one have any ideas what could have caused the loss of sound. Every thing else in the processor still works great but it seems that thete is no signal getting to the ATI AMP.

Hard to say what happened. Is the display still lighting up? Video switching still working?

You might call Outlaw on Monday or contact them online to find out what their thoughts are - could be as simple as a reset, or maybe a trip in for some service.

Wow The same thing is going on with mine right now. I plan on calling tomorrow and see what's up.

Please keep us updated as to what you find out.

Not to hijack your thread, but I talked with Outlaw and I'm waiting on an email with return instructions.

I'll let you know how it goes.

My 950 went titsup tonight. Not the exact same way. First I lost sound on the optical input I was using. Changed source to an input using analog, had sound, then a few minutes later the 950 just shut down. Will not power on any longer.

fuse maybe!
