I found pictures of the ENX-20 KIKYOU on Japanese auction sites. The various units shown all look the same. The tuner assemblies made by Sony have these markings 8-598-604-00 BTF-PJ301Z SONY MADE IN JAPAN K 2H29 AC 8-598-604-00 BTF-PJ301Z SONY MADE IN JAPAN K 2M18 AD 8-598-604-00 BTF-PJ301Z SONY MADE IN JAPAN K 2K01 AD 8-598-632-00 BTF-PJ401Z SONY MADE IN CHINA T 3E24 AK So that's only two different tuner assemblies really Sony Part # 859863200 Tuner Model # BTF-PJ401Z Sony Part # 859860400 Tuner Model # BTF-PJ301Z The PJ401Z is confirmed as the proper model number on this page: http://www.ued.net/catalog/cat_item_idx_5268.html I can find no information about these tuner assemblies, what TV systems they support, or how to program them. Experimentation looks like the best we can get aside from any comments in the Windows *.inf files.
