----- HDTV Magazine Tips List -----
Thank you Bobby and Jason for the advice and the
explanation and thanks to the rest of the tips members
who offered help.
I've been a member of the tips list for about three
years and although I don't participate on a regular
basis I read all the posts. I very much enjoy this
forum because I love great sound and great video. I
anxiously await high definition DVD. This HD world
keeps getting better and better. Keep up the good
work, what's going on here is important.
