So I got my hands on one of these a while ago.

Few words of caution to any prospective buyers of this decoder or its younger "twin".

You will ABSOLUTELY need to entirely recap the decoder section. There are 75+ SMD caps that are corroding the traces away as we speak. It is not a light undertaking. I have close to 50 hours into repairing this one. The electrolyte took its toll on many things inside.

You will absolutely want one with a remote. It's completely useless without one, if it's set to anything except Auxiliary Muse input. There are no front panel controls that will get you to the Muse input.

Regardless of all the hassle this one took to get working it's the best decoder I own. There are no edge/border artifacts and subtitles show very little ghosting.
