Cary CD308 Display

I just purchased a CD308 and after the burn-in period I finally turned the unit off. The display flickers/pulses. Cary said that this is normal due to the fluorescent display, but I wonder. It is quite noticeable. I can even see it from my listening position across the room (18 feet). Has anyone else experienced this or is it not so normal after all?

I bought one used here on audiogon that did this.

The seller was nice enough to take it back.

I dont think this glitch is acceptable, ragardless of the reason.

I owned a 308 and the display was solid. The player did have other issues which Cary chose to dismiss and led to trading it in for another brand.

I have the 308T - never had this problem. I wouldn't think it was just a glitch. It's definately a problem. But if it doesn't affect the sound then...
