    Hi,
    I bought the above on 4th Dec 2013.  I only completed my cinema set-up in Feb this year .  The AVR 171 is constantly locking up/freezing and displaying "BCO update Please wait...."
    No matter how long I wait it remains frozen.  The only solution I found online was to reset the device by holding the surround mode button for 5 seconds.


    Please advise, it is very frustrating to have to reset the device each time I use it.
