You may want to try a full re-boot. I recently had the MP update added to mine and it came back with no digital out. The Ayre service rep walked me through the re-booting of the unit. It is a little involved but if you call them on Tuesday I beleive they will be more than happy to assist you. I have had only good experiences when dealing with Ayre. And if you haven't had the MP upgrade done it's like 250-300 to do. But WOW it is the best 300 you will ever spend on your system.
Ayre C-5xe gone wonky
Something funky happened to my C-5xe. It won't pick up the SACD layer on hybrid discs and reverts to the CD layer. The display shows SACD -1 CD with the "-1" flashing before reverting to the CD layer. I've since disconnected the power cord hoping the thing goes cold and "reboots". C-5xe owners, has this happened to you before? Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions before I have to contact Ayre.
