I stated something beyond my area in suggesting that this may be a
warrenty fix.  I do not know and all I can say is ask your dealer.  I
have also posted some very valuable information on this subject to one
of the other newsgroups on "Re: CBM de-interlcer" article.  Please read
it and see if this helps answer your questions.

Regards,
Scott Hood
