Emu XL-7 & MP-7 User's Group

Thanks Bob,

I haven't heard back from the original owner yet - Xmas and all...

The unit appears to be in excellant physical condition. The fault 
appears to happen after the unit has been in operation for a while 
(heat? - I have noticed the machine runs warmish...). It can happen 
when sitting idle (not playing) or any other given moment....

cheers
Greg

confess to this being a problem when he had it?  Or did it start 
happening after it was shipped to you ?  How stable your power 
(dropouts or noise/glitches)?  We are basically taking about an 
address error in the imbedded computer system.
