My trusty CA Azur AVR died recently, and while I mull over a more upmarket replacement I've bought a second-hand one (540R V1) as a stopgap.
It works well, within the limitations of the spec, apart from a couple of odd behaviours. One is that the rotary volume control doesn't do anything (no change there, its predecessor had the same problem!), but I can live with that.
The other issue, also related to volume, is a bit odder: when playing a stereo source without using any DSP, the remote will happily lower the volume, but refuses to increase it. Select one of the Pro Logic II modes or play a Dolby source, and the remote will happily control the volume on both directions.
I know the 540R series is prone to volume-related bugs, but just wondering if anyone else has come across this particular one? I've tried the reset procedure, but I'm not sure what, if anything, that actually achieves - while the manual says it returns to factory default settings, it doesn't appear to have any effect on the tuner presets, for example.
If only there was a jumper that would erase the NVM.
