I went thru the entire menu and even tried to do analog in without running digital
plus I tried 2 SPDIF cables that worked fine with my V3 > P2 after wards
I would still get that error message even running NO digital in on the menu
sometimes it will read the cards, but give me the DIN unlock message
other times it would give me the Sys Rom Error message
when powering down and back up with the card still in the unit
cards... fine most likely, since my computer reads them and the unit was reading them
SPDIF cables... fine
digital out on V3... fine
basically the unit just started acting up with nothing changed on the menu and...
I went thru the settings when setting up at the show and things were set properly 2 nights in a row
I ASSUMED that things were alright yesterday morning by switching cards and the unit fired up
but I did not actually run any tests and got hosed last night when trying to fire up the unit at the show
and all that I'm getting now are the 2 error messages
I'm going to give TEAC a call tomorrow and send it in
I was busy last week and forgot to update this...
I received a call from Dennis @ Full Compass indicating the main board was FRIED
and it will cost me $140 to repair since LABOR is only 90 days from purchase, plus they are waiting for the part
latest update:
just received a call from Rich, head of service with Full Compass
apparently this problem is the ONLY time this has ever happened anywhere in the world with a 680
and TEAC did not even have a part number to assign the main board since they have never had to replace one
TEAC wanted to see if they could come up with another unit that they could just swap the board with
but at this point since I have waited TOO long
IMO on this matter Full Compass is suggesting to TEAC to give me a NEW unit
especially after I mentioned to Rich that the AC transformer was DOA when I received the unit initially
