I should point out, although it is not MD related, the ProScan, Hitachi and RCA HDTV set I wrote about will not only not take component input from progressive scan DVD players, it will also not accept component input from today's NORMAL sub $ 300 DVD players that have component outputs and yet there are TV's that sell for as little as $ 700 that do have this feature. To make it more comparable with audio MD, it's like running an MD portable without a line out jack into an amplifier from a headphone jack. It works, but you have to turn the volume way up and it just doesn't sound exactly right. The difference between S-Video inputs rated at 425 lines of resolution and component video inputs rated at 540 lines of resolution is less obvious, but it is there. If you're paying top dollar for state of the art equipment, you should get ALL the features state of the art equipment will handle at the time you buy it. Which makes Sony's choice of leaving an IEEE 1394 Firewire link out of their forthcoming MD Discam even more frustrating. Especially since SCMS can already be defeated with Mini DV and Digital 8 tapes, for anyone who cares to record stereo music this way. ----------------------------------------------------------------- To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
