Kevin: I had a problem with this model a couple of months ago. The symptom was: won't switch to video , shows tv video on tv and video functions. Audio also was distorted. I worked on the video problem for several days and was not getting anywhere. Should have replaced the SBX1637-11 module first. When I replace the MPS module it also cleared up the video switching problem. The only explanation I have is that the audio module must have been shorted and dragged down supply voltage possibly also used for video switching Ernie Niessen Valley TV & Stereo Chilliwack, B.C.
