So I was on a work trip and my wife called saying she couldn't turn off the 950. The remote didn't work and hitting the power button didn't work. The display was stuck on. When changing volume the display did not change. I told her to just leave it. I get home and yup, cannot turn it off via remote or physical switch. I pull the power and plug it back in, still can't turn it on now. Ugh. Anyone else encounter this? I thought maybe it is just a switch issue but I should still be able to use the remote.

There have been several post recently about members sending in their 1050s for repair and getting them back as good as new. $75.00 sounds like a great deal if you don't count shipping. Give Outlaw a call. Don't bury your 950 just yet.

The Marantz SR5005 is on sale with free ground shipping right now and would update your system quite a bit as far as features, codecs and connectivity. You also would have a little more power.
