Wow, that’s got to be very unlucky. I would have thought each player would have been test run as a final quality check prior to boxing up.so, sad to say, I received a defective sp3000 and it will have to go back. The output is static filled and pops around at a specific volume level, to bad.
I hope you get your replacement unit super quickly, it would be awful if they made you wait for a repair - double check your serial number
