Pioneer VSX MCACC Flashing

My Pioneer VSX-921 had the flashing MCACC light after a suspected power dip through the night.
Nor could I turn the amp on at all.

After reading multiple posts and trying multiple combinations pressing the "down arrow" and "multi zone off" together for 2 seconds reset the amp to a workable state.

Streaming MKV from TwonkyMedia on ARM (QNAP QPKG) to Samsung TV

 



With the default configuration in TwonkyServer; streaming MKV content to a Samsung TV will not work as TwonkyServer detect the TV as a "Generic Media Receiver" and will give an on screen message "format not supported" as reported in various forums and blogs.

To fix this I did  the following:

Upgrade to latest TwonkyMedia 6 version (6.0.34) via QPKG

Let TwonkyServer build the database

Enable sharing for new media receivers automatically

Connect with your TV to TwonkyMedia

Under "TwonkyServer/Advanced Settings/Media Receivers"

locate the Samsung TV in the list from the MAC address or IP Address and change the device type from "Generic Media Receiver" to "Samsung TV"

retried playing MKV (720p) on the NAS to the Samsung TV via TwonkyServer worked as suspected now.

The next step would be to test it with various video- and sound formats as well as MKV containers with header compression.

Hotpoint WDL540G - Most disappointing purchase in years

For anyone that thought of investing in this washer dryer ... don't 

It was the worste investment I made in a few years.

The build quality was average but at the price (only thing that was fair) it was acceptable.

This appliance is extremely noisy !

This appliance has extremely slow washing & drying cycles.

Further to this I had to replace the doorseal after 4 months, and the main pcb started with random error codes after the first few as well.

The final straw was when it decided half way through a cycle that the programming is not valid anymore and started with the "all lights flashing" and not pumping the water out.

I will be replaceing this appliance immediately with another brand.
