Things took a turn for the worse tonight.

After the game (thankfully) when my guests were dispersing, I was flipping through channels with the one remaining guest to see what else was on.

At some point, the audio dropped out. (I was on Video 2, Dig Coax input 2, Satellite tuner)

The unit seemed to go into that 'locked' mode. No volume commands from the remote would be accepted. I could change sources, but no audio came back on. I did not have time to try more things, like scrolling through the audio modes.

The front panel power switch was unresponsive.

I had to shut the power down from the rear master switch.

For this to happen after the latest firmware update, I'm a little disappointed...

Will update when I notice anything else. (I'd write if, but I'm not very optimistic anymore... )
