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???
