Peter, Et al, Thanks for the advice. In searching the site I found this. It makes sense as the CD Head Unit was replaced 18 month ago, and I hear sounds prior to the disk spinning, if it spins. “The first thing the 9000 tries to do is focus the laser.

Thank you for the response. Following your suggestion I looked at the BEO System 1. From the image, I thought it was the plasma screen, but I sense it is a stand alone box. From the spec sheet, it handles both audio and video. On the video side it states 1080i, and if memory serves me correctly it does not do 1920 x 1080P nor does it support 24 FPS

I need a little help going back to the future. I am very reticent to part with 7K (US) for the System 3 as it does not currently support decoding of the modern Blue Ray formats of Dolby True HD, or DTS-HD Master Audio. Yes, it will decode 5.1-7.1, but not in the high def. lossless formats at 192/24. Sure it might in the future, but B&O being, well
