Audio system problems
Found this excellent forum today and registered immediately to ask this question...
My LS430 '01 is equipped with the awesome Mark Levinson sound package. Lately there is a delay from when I turn on the audio system until there is sound. The delay can be everything from 1 second to several minutes - sometimes it is dead silent for a day or two...
Everything is working OK - touch display, AC, Navigation (including voice), CD... only there is no sound. Funny thing is that the "MID" tone control in the "Sound" menu is missing - when the sound comes on, the MID control appears on the display!
According to my local Lexus service there has been a few cases when they have replaced the sound amplifier (located in the boot). This amplifier cannot be repaired and must be replaced which cost a fortune...
Has anyone heard about this before? Maybe a loose cable or something simple?

I did search this forum for the word "amplifier", but did not find anything, so I started this new thread.
Now I did the search again and found this excellent thread:

Sorry - will search more before I enter next thread...
