It could also be a fried EEprom,common problem with no easy or cheap solution as far as I know.

I read about the pin in the manual regarding after I read your suggestion, but there is no indication on the display, that the unit is awaiting a pin-code. It stays turned off. Could you maybe elaborate?

Before we jump to conclusions about fried components, a couple of things to check.

The green light may simply indicate that a timer function has been activated. Easy enough to switch off.

The lack of control may be an option programme issue. This enables the system to be programmed in one of several ways depending on the rest of the products in the same installation.

First try setting option programme back to option 1.

On the remote press and hold Standby (the button with the red dot) whilst also pressing the LIst button. The small LCD on the remote should display ADD?

Press the List button repeatedly until you see OPTION? Then press GO, the button in the middle of the diamond shaped key. The display will now show V.OPT flashing. Press the List button again until you see A.OPT. When A.OPT is flashing press the 1 key while pointing the remote at the audio. If the system accepts this command the red LED should blink once. This confirms you have set the system to correct option setting.

Now try playing a CD. If the PIN is active you will be prompted for the four digit PIN. Hopefully you have access this to this. If not you may need to contact a dealer who will only provide if you can confirm serial number and receipt to prove ownership.

Hope this helps.

I'll try what you suggest, Opman, next time I visit her.

Hi again,

I tried what Opman suggested, the green LED blinks as described, but the main unit is still unresponsive. The red led stays on, and I can still control the main unit from the remote unit.

Any suggestions?

Cheers Peter
