I'll get back to you on that when I have some experience. Here's what experiments have shown at home. Despite all the fallderah (sp?) about DVD players being regionally coded, I've put everything in my DVD players (yes, we have 2) except a 33 1/3 LP, and it always "does the right thing" including trying to play music on the TV for music CDs. This included DVDs bought in China of movies so hot they haven't even been made yet, let alone released to disc. -- Lan Barnes [EMAIL PROTECTED] Linux Guy, SCM Specialist 858-354-0616 -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
