Re: Got Questions? Ask our resident expert, Robert Zohn
Ron, thank you very much for the honor of dedicating a thread for me to respond to any technical or industry issues, questions, concerns and suggestions.
I maintain a very close personal and business relationship with several major CE manufacturers and they listen to my advice. ValueElectronics.com is one of the leading HD DVD retailers and we sell a high volume of BD players as well.
I have been a beta tester for the very first satellite and OTA HD STB as well as the first DIRECWAY (currently HughesNet) two-way broadband satellite system.
The Home Media Retailing DVD conference selected me as an expert panelist on two forums and I have been chosen as a speaker and expert panelist at the upcoming CES Show, HD DVD vs. Blu-ray conference, which is scheduled for the opening day.
I love this business and its advanced technology. If I respond slowly to some questions it's only because I am not at my computer or researching the most accurate answers. I will be inviting other specialty industry experts to participate to bring this forum and its members the highest level of support and quality possible.
Fire away!
-Robert

Welcome aboard, Robert! It's always good to have as many people involved as possible (and a fellow Westchesterite) to provide answers to members' questions.

Re: Got Questions? Ask our resident expert, Robert Zohn
Hello Rorert:
I just want to know if the HD-A2 is still on schedule for the week of Dec 11? It's rather sad visiting BestBuy these days with The Samsung, Pioneer, and now the Sony BD players everywhere and not a single HD DVD player in sight.

Re: Got Questions? Ask our resident expert, Robert Zohn
I don't have any questions at the moment, just wanted to toss out a quick welcome to Robert and any he invites.
This is why I love this forum, people who *really* know what they're talking about, and happy to share their knowledge  |

RobertDW, yes we are still on schedule for the week of 12/11/06. But be advised that this is the schedule for Toshiba to ship to their customers.
We will be receiving our A2's by the end of the week of 12/11, but I would assume most stores will not have the HD-A2 on their shelves for a week or so later.
-Robert

Re: Got Questions? Ask our resident expert, Robert Zohn
RAF, we are authorized dealers, but not direct. Our best HDTV relationships are with Toshiba, Sharp, Panasonic, Pioneer and Pioneer Elite, Hitachi, JVC, Mits and Optoma.
For HD accessories, we are direct with DVDO, Neothings, Zektor, Universal Remote Control, Bello and Peerless Industries.
For optical HD disc hardware, we are large Microsoft Xbox 360 HD DVD adaptor dealers and Toshiba HD DVD and Panasonic and Pioneer Elite BD player dealers.
And of course, we are very large nationwide DIRECTV dealers.
-Robert

Thanks for the replay, Robert.
What does that mean in terms of getting and selling Sony products? I guess that my best option is to stop in some time and discuss this with you (I'm about 10 miles from your store.)
Sound like a plan?
