(For the archives) I did more searching and found my answer the following
info below will help all. I ordered the parts, the tech was very helpful and
parts were not expensive, $3 EEprom and $15 for microprocessor. He also
confirmed this to be a common problem and would fix the set. Also have FREE
user manuals for downloading on website.
