Solved! Old Surround Sound system is dying, can anyone recommend me what's good?

I've had a Pioneer X-360 (HTS-GS1) for over a decade now, it's been a wonderful five speaker surround sound system, but for reasons unknown the control unit has started randomly switching settings without my input, which naturally causes a blip in the audio and also disables the back speakers depending on what it changes.

I'm trying to find a replacement control unit since if that's the only bit acting up that would be ideal, but I kinda doubt I'll be able to find one.

So could I possibly get some recommendations on a good replacement?

This link here has the specs of my current one : https://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Home/Home-Theater-Systems/HTS-GS1

I don't want to may a huge amount of money, I paid either £99 or £199 for this one back in the day and if possible I'd like a similar machine for a similar price.
