| DVD-A question 3. DVD-As CAN contain separate stereo and MCH tracks but some do not. (Lately, it seems that is true for SACD as well.)Also, I have added a 6" LCD monitor to my rack for use in programming the player and for program selection when necessary. It is... | |
| Power cable connectors It's a relatively simple mechanical task but putting a 20A connector on a 15A line/cable is unsafe. | |

| Putting Audio & HT on wall floor is $1000 sq ft Scary thought. I have the entire front portion of my Manhattan living room devoted to speakers and amps and it is 14.5' wide by 6' deep.
