Hi DNicely1, sorry for the rather long delay in replying to your post.
My 2900 has a "clicking" noise and it only happens when I am vewing DVD's. I contacted the company who installed and set up my HT system and basically they are taking the approach that the unit is about 2 years old so, SOL.
I do agree with you that I will wait for the arrival of HD DVD players and just learn to live with the clicking noise.
thanks for you input
Dave
