The control unit has been working perfectly for 20 years, but recently the sound has started fading in and out. The sound works for a bit, then a 2-3 sec silence, then back on again, then a silent break. I've tried the various inputs (TV, video, DVD, etc) and all seem to have the same issue. Any ideas?
What you are describing is a firmware incompatibility. This is especially prevalent when using HDMI connections. If you look up my Pro Page, you will see some of the companies I worked for, and I was greatly involved in Firmware issues. You were lucky that you found a work around. The only issue with your "fix", is that it greatly increased the signal/noise ratio. It's not a perfect fix, but you can't deny that it does a least work. Congrats!
The capacitors on the power unit has to be replaced or new power unit .

check the voltage setting on the power supply that connects the power cord to the media center. Mine was set to 230V. Changed it to 115V and the video starting working.

I had the same problem.
I could not get HDMI to HDMI to work.
i fixed it (work around), by connecting ATV HDMI to DVD HDMI port on V30, i then connect L&R to AUX. I set the Bose remote for controlling ATV to AUX.
so to use ATV with Bose remote i know press DVD, this gives me the correct display but not audio, i then press AUX and this gives me ATV control and audio.
interesting, when i first set this up (trial and error), it didn't work. I was doing some cable management clean up, when i got a fright and the thing started working...but i have a ghost in my house so that is probably a more plausible reason why its working now.
it feels like this product is only 90% finished

I am quite sure that the indicator lights should be green. The blinking yellow likely indicates that there is no communication between the head and the audiomass. Verify that the connections are tight and then try powering off (unplugging) the system (both head and audiomass) for 30 seconds and then powering on again. That will often re-establish communications.

Hi,
did you manage to fix it? I have the same problem. Would appreciate if you can share some results if you have any.
Many thanks, Jeffrey [email protected]
