MX-151

My MX-151 hangs just before Initializing routine. It continues to display McIntosh MX-151 with red light flashing. We have to unplug and plug it back after a few minutes. Sometimes, it starts in one try. But at times we have to try “unplug/Plug” routine several times to get it going. Once it has booted, it works perfectly fine with a fantastic sound quality.

It has been very frustrating experience. Has anyone experienced similar issue? What do I need to do get it to start reliably on the first turn on. Thanks
