You have a good point there. I suppose I will do just that...
I got home tonight and discovered that I have to pull my whole cabinet
with the VCR, DvD Player and TV right out to get at all the damned
wiring in behind it in order to unhook the VCR and DvD player and put
this new Sony job in, so I guess I am going to have to wait til the
weekend, as I am beat when I get home and cannot be bothered doing it
just now... It's not for lack of enthusiasm, it's just that I have to
also undo the stereo system to be able to move that cabinet. I am up
at 4 each morning and get home at 6 at night and I love to lounge
around whe I get home... It can wait (I think)...!!!
Cheers
