"Say what you want about Sony, they are clever in their vertical integration of products. I bought the 920 to pair to my newly purchased 52" Bravia LCD with Bravia sync, and wouldn't you know it but my 10 year old Sony CD Jukebox with Sony link is compatible. Nuts ! I have a 2000 Vaio which I am authoring this E on and same thing, a port for everything including stuff that never made it out of a marketers dream. I can control the LCD, 920, Blue Ray, Cd Jukebox,Sirius, DVD, and if wanted VHS on 1 remote. Outragious. The 920's only drawbacks is understanding all the features and for me, no S-Video output. BTW I wired using 10 gauge, should have used 12, terminals too small and bananas don't handle that diameter. My mistake. FYI-- Male 54 y.o. tech "semi savvy" , cost not an issue, value is."
