Just to update the Harman blue ring issue from my first post... you were right Wayne, it is impossible to get at that knob to change the bulb without causing worse problems than I started with. I may take it in to a shop to get a static annoyance taken care of in my right surround channel, and get them to look for that bulb wayyy in there.
It's not two years old yet, but the warranty isn't valid in Canada because I purchased it in the good old U.S. of A. I don't see the big difference with the same machine, but companies are funny like that. So I will pay out of pocket for the fix.
