    Retailer in San Diego

    They have the DVD-S2300 for $795, but are not an authorized dealer, which may be a warranty problem for you when you return to Mexico. I believe Tweeter (a local A/V chain) also sells the DVD-S2300. They have several stores in San Diego, and are an authorized dealer. Kit

    Sony "Control S" and "A1II" - what are these?

    To add to the previous comments, Control S is simply an IR interface that can be used in lieu of Xantech-type IR blasters. No control is done over the interface, and no data is transmitted other than the carrier-stripped IR. Contol A1II is a control and transport protocol that allows Sony...

    Onkyo 898 more than one version?

    Integra is Onkyo's high end line that is targeted for custom installations. They claim to use slightly better components, and the cosmetics are different. The Integra 8.2 is similar to the Onkyo 898. Aside from the inclusion of the "CHAD" pronto clone remote, the major difference is the...

    Is the video cable any different than the left/right?

    Audio cables (red/white) are not 75 Ohm, and should not be used for video connections.:thumbsdown:

    Quality cd mega changer

    In addition to the differencein remotes offered with the CDP-CX555ES and CDP-CX333ES, the 555ES also has a composite video output. This is quasi-uselful for parties, so people can see the playlist. I second the recommendation for the Slink-e. Kit

    Megachanger questions: Pioneer PD-F27 and Sony CDP-555ES

    The DAC's in the ES megachangers are pretty good, and are (along with the longer warranty) what differentiates them from the consumer CDP-CX models. This is useful if you want to use the "megachanger" daisy chaining option, but I have a single changer at this time and use the optical output...

    Sony CDP-M555es - Any good?

    I like mine. I use it with a Slink-e (www.nirvis.com) computer interface, which eliminates the programming headache and greatly increases the usability of the player. I'm not as in love with the 2-way remote, which I rearely use, except for Artist mode. I bought mine from www.oade.com whom I...

    calling dishdepot today...suggestions?

    Yes, you can use your Hughes round Dish and LNB. The Dish500 antenna IS oval, and looks to Dish's main satellites at 110’ WL and 119’ WL. The HD contenet is on a third satellite at 61.5’ WL, and it is not possible to pick up all three satellites with a single dish. You're also going to need...

    Question about DishNetwork 6000 and Dish Depot

    The Dish500 with Twin LNBF is an oval dish that picks up both the 110° and 119° satellites, while the 18" dish with single LNB (aka Dish300) points to 61.5° (or 148° once HD content is mirrored there) to pick up the HD channels. You also need an SW-21 switch to combine the output of the...
