Yes, I will continue with the Barco for awhile yet. It has done over 11,000 hours but is still going strong with no discernable drop in outpuit from the blue or green guns. Having it on the floor rather than hanging obscenely from the ceiling has no doubt helped with that + the holes in the floor for the cabling give a flow of cooler air up to the unit.BTW, the video from DVD players is not connected directly to the Barco. At the moment it is via a component switching box -> DVDO HD+ scaler and that switching box & DVDO are definitely powered completely off unless we are watching video. Any new universal player will be connected the same way.
However there could be video nasty feedback to the Meridian 861 from the hard drive recorders which are on standby and have their digital audio outputs connected to the processor. But the Meridian is not handling the main L/R stereo signal which goes direct from the player to the preamp & amps etc. The only feedback could be via the second output from the McIntosh C200 which feeds into the Meridian 861 for surround sound or from the surround connections between the SACD player & the Meridian 861. Complicated - yup it is crazy, like me :-).
It is like this when listening to CDs or SACDs:
video recorders on standby (digital out) -> Meridian 861 -> centre, sub, side & rear speaker amps & speakers
SACD/CD player -> L/R to McIntosh C200 preamp -> amps & speakers
+ second output from preamp -> Meridian 861 -> centre, sub & surround amps & speakersJohn
Do not criticise the idiots in this world - we need them as they make the rest of us look so much better :-)
