Many thanks for your help keith what troubles me is that the 28 avant is not affected i can recall that years ago my system played up and there was a external junction box that had got damp i can access this conector is this a job that a lay person can under take and if so can i purchase a new connection box it was certainly manually wired regards Matt

ok have change to option 6 avant still ok without masterlink but as soon as i connect masterlink reverts back to problem with channel change and startup regards Matt

the avant was the first part of my system linked to 1 the 3200 in lounge then to 2 2500 speakers in the kitchen then to the 28 avant in the bedroom yes they are daisey chained and it has mostly had this fault but not always by that i mean it is sometimes ok i have replaced the 32 with a beovision 5 and would like to use the 32 in the bedroom i have

when masterlink is removed it seems to work ok ! if i use the 28 avant with same masterlink it is fine any ideas regards matt

it was connected as the master option 1 in my lounge to a pair of pentas and a pair of 8000 with a subwoofer also masterlinked to a 28 avant and a 3200 hifi and linked a beovison 5
