Thanks for the reply. I've amended my sig to show the firmware/hijack versions.

I think it's on a straight v 2.00 (from the About menu anyway) and the version of Hijack seems pretty old unless I mis-read it on boot - it only shows for a split second!

The player hasn't muted itself since so I'm not sure if that problem was just a one-off or what.

Still concerned about the fuse blowing with volume though. I took it to the installer and he turned down the output on the amplifier and it hasn't done it since (still keeping the volume low-ish though). Still, I'm definitely going to switch the fuses around again in case of any damage and will try to sort that remote amp wire with the repair advice in the FAQ's.

I'll post back if the problem persists. I'm really hoping I haven't bought a duff unit. I'm hoping the fuse problem is directly linked to the loose remote wire.

Cheers,

Euan.
