I know you tried firmware recovery already. But if it breaks in middle of boot up, then is the firmware.

contact the manufacturer through the suppoet facility on their website, they are the best people to help you in this matter and may ask you to return the item dor inspection/repair/replacement. This is not the forum for your particular problem I think.

Same problem here. Opened the case, but could not find a fuse. :-(

Hello
Just unplug the device from AC mains socket and replug it after 3 minutes and see whether it helps you. If not, a firware upgrade will be necessary. The supplied PC installer CD contains Media Manager [DMM] software. it will help you to upgrade for WAC700 center. For details see DMMs' help file. Refer to the manual CONNECT YOUR PC to learn how to install the software. OK.

The manual is here.

The answer is here in the FAQ's. It does not support gapless playback.

I imagine if it was a current product and enough users complained to Philips a 'fix' might appear.

Anything that has a headphone output can be adapted to feed an RCA cable pair for standard stereo to any audio device with a standard RCA input. Get a cable like the one described here:

and connect it into any available analog input EXCEPT "Phono". Turn the MP3 player volume up.
