They laid them all off and closed the Service Center that was the only hope Philips ever had in the US, IMO. Tampa worked according to my repair procedure I wrote for them. Before Philips closed them down they’ve made many SACD1000 owners very happy fixing their units.Just like the Furore fiasco, Philips made the executive decision to actually loose more money by "authorizing" your local TV repair shop instead of maintaining their own and highly skilled service centers. Last time I've heard from SACD1000 owner who brought his Philips to an "authorized" TV shop was given $600+ estimate to get the entire digital board replaced that comes with a defective Furore too.
What can I say, it's sad!
Hope you're well!

Alex
