Certainly, no problem! The 3rd and 4th pin are for additional features with active speakers or link setups. Passive speakers are connected with a 2-pin plug and work the same way as they would in any amplifier.

Oh, I dunno. I picked at random a couple of local print houses that have their price lists on the net. For a single colour screen print on small objects, the initial costs including films etc seem to start from 30 euros and the actual printing work per piece is practically free (less than 50 cents per piece, in series from 20 pcs on). Can't see

Years ago my then GF was abroad and I was staying in her much more convenient flat. I was cooking something and needed tomato purée ( tomato paste in some overseas colonies, I believe). I noticed the tin was a bit bulged but I didn't think much of it. The second my can opener pierced the lid, a stream of purée shot out, at a force

The print is so small that if you try to mask it off somehow I'm sure the result will

Looks cool - but unless you are going to silk print the text as I suggested earlier, I'd rather just paint over it..,

As far as I understand, all that is "trial" in this is the commercial success - if it doesn't sell, they'll drop it. In which case I'd rather expect the resale value to go up! Now really, are you worried about the resale value of remote you can still buy new for 160€ or whatever it is? It's not like there'll ever be

Those are microcontrollers with mask programmed ROM, and since it is the application processor and serves a B&O specific purpose, I'm pretty sure the only source for it will unfortunately be another CD5500. W142 is the manufacturing code for this specific program version. The processor on the decoder board might be more generic and interchangeable

Ladies (hah!) and gentlemen, as you may know, to make us Wednesday Thread© participants serve some remotely useful purpose, we are being used as crash test dummies for the upcoming forum upgrade - therefore the Wedthred runs on a separate forum. Thanks to johnharwood actually trying to participate, an issue was found which prevented newly registered

It definitely should be open for you! I'm not sure, but perhaps you need to login separately over there (look in the upper right corner whether it shows that you are logged in or not). as that thread runs on a separate forum. It'll be finished soon for tonight anyway, but you're most welcome next Wednesday at 7pm UK time!
