Hello Ozzieflyer, sorry to hear about your problems with the equipement. I would not use that receiver ever again as everyone has been saying, but I would not give it the hammer ether. (as satisfying as it may be) I have been using JR for some time in South Australia and have found that the agent is very good in their product support. Since you will not use it again anyway, send it back with a letter explaining what happened, and see what happens?
