Got it but now does a very brief pulse being sent to the driver, after

My favourite [in press release for new product] - We've added all
these profound and amazing new features to the new model, including a
1.3% thinner remote control, 3% more space around the RCA inputs, funky
new logo, new design for the power inlet and an all new design for the
input select icon, yet we've been amazingly able to keep the price rise

I was born in England and describe myself as British. I think you'll
find that most people who were born in Great Britain tend to call
themselves British, with the exception of those who are pround of their
locality, who will probably call themselves English, Scottish, Welsh,
Cornish, etc.

According to someone from Northern Ireland I used to work with, the
situation there is that the population is divided between those who
consider themselves British and those who consider themselves Irish.
This generally tallies with the Protestant/Catholic distinction,
although of course there are plenty of non-religious people in
N.Ireland.

The British Isles includes the Republic of Ireland, of course. I
suppose in a formal sense those people are British, but my guess is
that they all think of themselves as Irish to distinguish themselves
from the de-facto assumption that British means someone from the UK.

The Scots  Welsh I've known have had no problem being called British-
it's being called English they don't like. American ears and listeners
often don't know enough to place British regional accents.

The Scots united with Britain long before the American colonies
disunited.  Anyone still troubled by that needs to move on.

I can't think of any population group in the UK who would claim to call

According to Wikipedia: 

The British (also known as Britons, informally Brits, or archaically

Curt,

You should be aware that this is only happening because you obviously
do not have a Tice Magic Clock in your son's room. Here's what you do
to clean up the mess:

1) Get a Tice Magic Clock and plug it into an outlet in your son's
room.

2) Next get a AC outlet noise eliminator (similar to the ENACOM - AC
LINE NOISE ELIMINATOR) and plug that into a different outlet in your
son's room.

That's it - now all those nasty noise particles will be sent into the
blacker than black audio abyss.
