Hello again everyone. I have a happy ending to my story.
I had to send the 7700 to California for repair. I sent it out on 1/10 and had it back on 1/31. Pretty good turnaround I would say.
It is now working properly, and I am enjoying my system once again.
Sorry an update took so long, but I wanted to make sure it was functioning correctly. Once Outlaw decided it was the amp they were quick about repairing it.
