Have any other UK 3805 owners experienced problems with the remote ?
Mine was fine for about 3 hours out of the box yesterday and then some of the lights disappeared.
Specifically, when I press the Surround button I no longer get the lights for the various modes (Stereo, Pure Direct etc). The buttons still work but you have to guess the function.
Will be talking to Creative about a replacement when they open tomorrow, but having read the US reports about remote problems there, this does seem to be the achilles heel for what is otherwise a very impressive amp.
Funnily enough I actually like the remote, contrary to other views, I just wish they had spent a bit more time on quality control or design.
Love the auto setup feature - I havn't even bothered checking the levels with a sound meter as I'm so impressed with the sound I'm not going to fiddle with it - (well at least for a week
).
