Today I noticed some text appears on the SA30 console whilst I expected the display remains black because I disabled the brightness setting. Does anybody experience similar behaviour? It doesn’t reproduce very well. **Scenario** Perform the following steps: 1. switch on Arcam SA30 build 713 is used 2. start Arcam Music Life iOS app, build 3.1.1 (3111) is used 3. in Music Life app press the cross-hair, select SA30, set brightness to off (SA30 display is black=ok) 4. play some music **Actual result** After some time there appears some (fragments) of the text ‘Streaming’. The text appears for a fraction of a second and then it disappears. It repeats every 10 seconds. At the following offsets the following text appear on the SA30 console (the video can be found [here](https://cloud01.opsdata.ch/index.php/s/qTkoKrZWGXAqCmG)): Offset (m:ss:ff) 0:37:02 ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/arcam/original/1X/004520da04e47276a4bf9e2b82bf4ebee15f8129.jpeg) 0:47:03 ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/arcam/original/1X/b5b2a42f26e7727b95842b87a61a382a2433ea57.jpeg) 1:07:03 ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/arcam/original/1X/9ec20e458b8d61563986c66aad8377297eb46d39.jpeg) 1:17:03 ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/arcam/original/1X/d24d7af477b1ae09e070c83db12949ce53c418e4.jpeg) **Expected result** The SA30 console should remain black. ---

I thought I was imagining that! But yes - I get the same thing. ---

Hi Mikeak, Welcome to the forum! Thanks for the confirmation. I only saw this this issue once and I’m not able to reproduce it. I informed Arcam about this issue and they cannot reproduce it either. Are you able to repro it? ---

I haven’t tried to be honest. It’s just something I’ve noticed out of the corner of my eye a couple of times since the update. I’m not sure I’d have the patience to try and catch a photo! ---

I noticed this issue for the second time. In both cases I was listening to hi res tracks. The tracks are stored on a nas and streamed to SA30.
