Well, if you have a decent local shop (and you have no warrenty left), then they can take it apart, clean it etc. (My local shop owner does orders from all over ontario though...so not many places do it. Other then that get your warrenty handy and go back to the retailer. IF possible return it for a better deck. Sony = garbage period. Alpine, Pioneer Premier, JVC Arsenal, Planet Audio and Eclispe = the only head units i trust, and even then my preference is almost always Alpine.

EDIT. ACTAULLY. You live in Ontario. biggrin: IF you still have warrenty, my biggest recommendation is to try and take it back if possible. Pop down to Orangeville and take a listhen to my installers 71 Mini GT. I promise you it will blow you off your feet. (not loud wise, but the perfect sound enviroment it creates inside. Worst comes to worse, pop down and he will have it fixed for you. If it just needs cleaning then it can be done in a day or 2. If it needs parts it takes much much longer. I can bring you buy him if you want. Most people in Ontario end up sending all their repairs to him anyways. I was once a non beleiver about HU's beleiving all were made eqaul, it is simply not true.
