I put in a movie last night "Inside MAn, great flick by the way!} and half way through I pressed pause to answer the phone. before I pressed pause I turned it down a bit to make sure it was the phone ringing and not some sound effect coming from the rear channels.

When I went to resume the movie, I pressed play then I pressed Volume up {to where it was before} When I let go of the volume button it stuck in pressed mode and blasted my system to max. I jumped out of my chair to rush to the equipment rack to turn it down.

The system was in what I consider extreme jeopardy! and considering I am moving all of my equipment to another room in the near future so it is completely out of sight, I cant imagine what would of happened if I had to go any further than I did.

I wonder what philips would say if I called them and said there faulty product blew up $15K worth of speakers!

Hi max viegas,

search the forum for "button" and "stuck" - I had the same behaviour once, then I changed my icf-file, reset the device and I never had it.

Try to turn off the hard buttons; use the touchscreen only. Maybe this will help?

I doubt there is a fix for this problem. It was reported in this forum twice. Maybe you should contact the other poor guys?!

Best regards,

Kalle

Since you probably won't get any help on this from Philips, and assuming you are not an equipment repair maven, you are probably stuck with a stuck (no pun intended) button. I think your only solution is to rewrite your icf to assign your volume control to another hard button or to soft buttons.

A better solution then to "just deal with it" make a " 0.1 second delay" after the learned button feature and then if it sticks it will NOT keep pumping up or down the volume or anything else. How ever then you have to push the button with each increase. But at least you know it will never happen again!
