Red light above red button is on. Press button no response. Turned power off , count to 10, turn power on, still no response.
Any suggestions?

Try holding the power button down for 15 to 30 seconds, let go and then try to power on again.

From time to time this pre has required reset as in cold start.

Ray how old is the MX134? I have the MX132 and it has had a couple of odd behaviors with mine, but I think its capacitor related since my unit is a 12 year old model.

It could be related to age, whatever it is im sure its fixable, and worth getting fixed too.

Thanks
As soon as I get a big burst of energy, I'll pull it out , open it up and make sure nothing has rattled loose. I posted hoping someone knew all the levels of reset so I could try everything easy first.

If you could find that out that would be nice actually, as I couldn't find the manual for my MX-132 (that was the only thing not included with it from the original owner, probably because there were literally thousands of manuals to dig through) and I would like to do a factory reset on mine as well, I couldn't get the coaxial audio to work the way I wanted.
