hey,i got a htd-k170 from argos for £69.99.brilliant! problem is tho, it always takes 4-5 attempts to get the thing powered up when i first turn it on at the plug, usually weird writing apears on the LCD display in place of "ON"..."LOADING" which is very odd.
But im really wanting to know if it supports PRO-LOGIC II cuz im tryin to get surround sound out of my Gamecube but its only regestering 2 speakers plus subwoofer :-/ ive trie using both SCART and AV channels but still to no avail. any advice?

Cheers
