I sold mine years ago, but looking at the circuit diagrams it really seems to be like that by design (or rather, by a side effect of the design). If I'm looking at it correctly, the loudness leds (there are actually three in series) will receive a small current even when they're "off".

Thankyou tournedos, That makes me feel so much better :) I was starting to think it was going to have to go in for a repair.

Just checked mine. It does exactly the same as yours. Hope this I helps.

Thanks Aaron, 

I'm now confident its normal behaviour for the BM5000, Thanks to everyone for putting my mind at rest and saving me doing untold damage trying to fix a problem that doesn't exist.

This forum and its members are excellent :-)

Thanks again

Lee
