McIntosh Stereo Issue

Postby Shaheenis » Mon Aug 19, 2013 12:17 pm

Guys,

I am not sure where I am supposed to post general troubleshooting topics but it will have to be here for now.

Firstly I would like to say how much I love the McIntosh stereo in the Gen4, it is the best sounding factory stereo I have ever heard and I can't get enough of it.

Unfortunately I have had a strange issue develop where intermittently I will not be able to change the source using the source buttons (e.g. from FM to CD or vice versa). It will just not work. Turning the stereo off and on doesn't fix it but if it is stuck on radio and I eject a CD I can then use the CD player. Rather odd. Has anyone experienced this and have some advise on what the problem might be?

I am sure this is unrelated but I have also had some intermittent issues with my central locking remote (key) but hopefully this is just a dying battery.

Cheers in advance,
Tim

I replaced mine with a JVC DV-6105 (plays dvds full of mp3, as well as movies). Mcintoss sub woofer no longer connected, dont miss it one bit.
You need to listen to some decent HUs.
