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

Thanks Bob

I did receive some additional info from HSG and checked into some other suggestions. I now beleive the problem is static electricity reeking havoc on the AVP2. It is the first time I have had this problem with any audio component. It's winter and the room is somewhat dry (40%) humidity and the room is carpeted. If I rub my foot on the carpet several times and touch the AVP 2 the LED's flicker for a split second and the unit jumps to the menu setup. It has even switched modes. Can a light dose of static electricity damage the unit ? I never received a shock or a saw a spark flash. Ever hear of this problem.
