Already experienced several times different TPs displaying A/C over voltage in various surrounding conditions since last summer... I could however reproduce it twice recently while switching from S/PDIF to AES-EBU in Player - Audio - Digital Output Encoding. Both used TP where bravely waiting in

I've got a few power related questions I'm hoping someone in the know can help me with. About a week ago I turned on my Transporter to settle into an evening of music when it fired up and presented me with a short message along the lines of A/C over voltage or A/C Voltage Exceeded. I unplugged

This is actually a bug in the firmware and has NOTHING to do with the reliability or quality of the mains or your hardware. It is going into a failsafe mode when it shouldn't be. If anyone know how to reproduce this I'm sure Logitech would be very eager to fix it. In the mean time I will add
