Okay, so more than one user has this problem so it's definitely not 
an isolated incident. We still don't know if it's related to 
the 'pops & clicks' problem or not (does that even matter, really?)

Yes, I believe so. My AN1x exhibited the problem from day one. I knew 
from various user groups that other owners had the same problem. When 
I called Yamaha they readily acknowledged the problem and corrected 
it with a hardware repair at their facility in CA (I'm on the East 
Coast, btw.) Yamaha was great - very helpful. My old dealer (now out 
of business) from whom I bought the AN1x was a MAJOR headache.
