Conson lighting is another one. Not sure what markets they operate in but it does in Australia.

It wasn't built by Sony. It was the original prototype model (non functional) built by David Lewis, he works with models when designing new products. It looks just like the BeoSound 9000 only longer. Very cool but obviously would have been less feasible. Have seen it in person, very cool.

Very impressive but not my style. It's very American, not that there is anything wrong with that. I'd rather have BeoLab 5's all round in 7.1 with BeoSystem 3 and the new so called BeoVision 10 (103"). Now that would be a killer system.

If it's only on the one station it would have to be the way they are broadcasting on that network. If on format 3 there is black boarders then i think they (black boarders) are broadcasting them.

Although it looks cool it also looks like a two handed operation, held in palm of one and keyed with finger of other hand. B&O remotes have been one hand operation, one finger operation remotes for a long time now. Far superior in operation and functionalty.

If you take ceramic from a spark plug it's strong enough to shatter glass from a car windshield by simply tapping it on the glass. Don't think of your mum's china in the kitchen. Most industrial ceramic is super hard. Like the Channel watches.

Static dust cloth. Glass, very mild detergent on slightly damp cloth. No harsh detergents or solvent cleaners.

What i mean is not to clean discs in circular motion as this is the worst meathod but yes you are right centre out.

Static dust cleaner. If cleaning disc (cd or dvd) always clean in a straight wipe (top to bottom/ right to left) from one side to the other. People have a tendencie to clean thier discs like records, giving a greater chance of damage to the disc.

saf: BV5 plasma screen's 'touchy' surface and small kids' fingers that indeed want to touch 'everything' right before they start to chase their favorite cartoon character accross the screen, can potentially be a a rather disasterous combination - and an experience which in strictly monetary terms I suspect will not make one richer
