Well I guess I'm not the only one. It has been happening to me since day 1. All of a sudden it will just cut out & shut the unit off. I've tried my ipod to pc cable and it does the same exact thing. I wonder if it is something from the female end of the usb cable to the main unit? Naturally it didn't play when I hooked it up with the other USB because it didn't have RCAs. I started thinking it was my Ipod but doubt apple is messing up this much.
The Sony RMX4 would be my only wireless option? If the radio has an IR port shouldn't there be something universal? I just discovered the wired remotes but I'm not too fond of them.
