Ken,

I think that the informational value of your private note is of general
interest, therefore I will respond publicly.  I hope you don't mind that I do
so...

Aaargh, how could I miss that?  By that time (i.e. nine years ago), my uncle
was one of the chief engineers of Philips, Netherlands, so he should have
known.  Well, his job was to develop and construct TV and computer screens, so
maybe he didn't care...

Yes, that would be exactly what I want (though it would be nice to have two
preset programs per CD to choose from).

Well, I think that my local audio retailers will get some very difficult to
please customer next week... :-)

Thanks for pointing that out to me.

Cheers,

Bernd
