Proceed Avp2 problem- jumps to setup menu



I have the AVP processor with upgrade to AVP2 circuitry. Recently the unit has started going into main setup mode on its own. The front LED will indicate setup mode and I have to push the remote control (menu button) to exit the setup mode. It does this occasionally. Does this sound like some type of interference. I have tried blocking out the LED window on the front panel but it still jumps to setup mode. Could this be a problem with a circuit board component. Is there a fix available on-line or do you think the unit will require service ?

I contacted Madrigal but have not received a reply yet.

Appreciate any feedback.
Thanks , Dave

Hi
I noticed same problem with my AVP2. Problem comes from the remote sending a "long" input command such as DVD. Same thing would happen if you press and hold down the input button (DVD) for greater than 3 seconds. Madrigal gives you an instant access to the menu system.

The work around is to use a universal remote such as an MX-850 and create a macro. Program your input selection such as DVD, then issue a RECALL command in the macro, which will turn off the the menu if it was in Menu mode. The Recall command does nothing if the menu did not come up!! Since I did this, I have not encountered the annoying menu system from appearing.
Hope this helps
