Incidentally, is this a machine new to you and purchased used or is it a long-owned machine that has just started to play-up?

No I've had it for a few years. Been working fine until yesterday. Close to daily use. : /

Recovery done, but now I don't see CD or Radio, just N.Music... 

N.Music is the native name for CD. N.Radio for radio. There are settings in the Roles area that you can user select N.Music or CD as the name for accessing the stored music.

Regardless, a test of N.Music will tell you if the original problem has been fixed.

A-ha! 

Forgot about that! Thanks.

Now I seem to have an option problem. It's not turning on the speakers. 

OK, back in option 0 now, and seems to be working... 

But something is still a bit haywire, as my Beolab 5's seem to still listen to the SPDIF in even in Radio... I think they should only listen to the SPDIF in CD... 

I've had them unplugged for a few days while remodelling, in our house, could they possibly be in the wrong option?

Select Settings / Roles / Audiomaster - yes

Settings / Roles / AM Option - selects how the IR Beo4 controls. 0 = ML TV, 2 = BS5 etc....

I think the BS5 should auto-detect ML and if it does not, it brings up PL speaker options. Can't help with that

Priority signal for the BL5s is to take the SPdif over PL. All signals go equally from the BS5 whether ML, PL or SPdif. BL5 is the decision maker.

Exactly, and they should only listen to the SPDIF once source is CD. Hmmm.....

Lot's of interesting stuff going on...

My BV9 has ever since I bought it ALWAYS after shutdown checked with the small inbuilt camera the screen settings... This has now stopped. What the heck. I also noticed the BV9's curtains upon shutdown moves much slower the way they're supposed to do it, mine has always had the curtains going very fast, about twice the normal speed and then the camera has popped down. Not so anymore.

I'm not sure on that. I have always thought BS5 outputs everything to SPdif regardless of N.Radio or N.Music. SPdif is night and day quality over PL when played through the BL5s
