The fact that it works beyong 10 seconds if the internet is disconnected suggests that the player is doing some sort of validation handshake with a server. It would be reasonable for the player to default to successful if no connection to the internet was possible (so the media player wasn't hobbled) but if the handshake was established with this mysterious server it seems that the validation is now failing. I do hope the suggestion that Marantz is collecting information about our music tastes doesn't turn out to be true!
It is an interesting development though. i wonder if Marantz will ever tell us what is actually happening.
