They might have issued it as a 'trial standard', but the Japanese distribution system is different from the European systems on which the standard is based, and may be more tolerant of harmonics. -- Regards, John Woodgate, OOO - Own Opinions Only. http://www.jmwa.demon.co.uk Interested in professional sound reinforcement and distribution?
