Very true. A workaround is to buy a small, cheap LCD screen and connect it to one of your AVR's video outs to perform this function. S-video or Composite will do, it's just menu navigation and low-res album art. It looks cool in your setup and I'd guess if used regularly it would likely pay for itself in a year with lower energy consumption vs a big 40+" screen. I used this cheap LCD option for several years on my Yamaha AVR for digital cable music and Yamaha's (overly simplistic) Internet Radio and USB input functions. It is still used sparingly today since my graduation to a REAL streaming device, thank you SqueezeBox. :) -- toby10 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=75063 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
