Hi Higgins:
Thanks for the input. I'll try cleaning later today. I did use a "Disc Lens Cleaner" to no avail, however they seem pretty cheesy. The sonics and video are steller, head and shoulders above my previous Marantz. It has HDMI output, which I am using. Highly recommend. My problem is an anomaly, and might have been sold to me this way. Audiogon seller claims his brother in the UK gave it to him as a gift. It arrived with a European Power Cord, and programmed for Europe. I had to reprogram to reg 1. Could be this is an inherent problem, buying in the UK for USA use. Thanks again for your input./ Best/ Bill
