UTOC Errors...Have a read it might answer a few questions ;)
Chris Purdy
could this be because they all have dreaded utoc errors?
I rather fell in love with backlit remote unlike the new mt16/20 that cost
$100 more.
If I bought a 701-
a/am I mad
b/are your serial nos reliable as utoc risk guide?
if Utoc is likely would it happen quickly after use of a new unit?
or does it drift with time?
