Eric,
Thanks for you input. I do have an additional question…... about the
need of CT-17 level converter as noted in
the owners manual, but I think Mike will answer it when he replies. This, to
me, is the last piece of the puzzle
(and my confusion). Is the ‘Y' adaptor cable to be used ‘in conjunction’ with
the CI-V level converter or…..’in place
of ' the CI-V level converter?
Again, I’m really impressed with the helpful responses I’ve received from this
group, thank you.
I feel like I’m almost there ;0)

Tom
ps; from the looks of the archives, you have been involved in helping others
for a long time !!
